I can thank Details magazine for getting me hooked on barre. It was an article about men doing women's workout for a leaner look.
I was loyal to my gym for years but wanted to do something different. I am a strict vegetarian and I will never have bulky muscles. Being lean and toned is the way to go.
I have done Bar Method in Los Angeles and San Francisco and started doing Pure Barre when I was stuck in Orange County. As with any barre class, I am always the only male. I definitely feel that I have invaded a secret woman's world. It is okay. I am there to work and I keep my head down and focus on getting leaner and stronger.
Pure Barre Phoenix is the best I have been to. All of the instructors are great and the movements and techniques are constantly changing to keep you from hitting the wall. The instructors get you going and make you do things you never imagined you could do. I am addicted and a believer.
