| - Even though I identify as a yoga and zumba person, Barre is fast becoming my favorite way to work out. Zoom, 60 minutes, in and out, no messing around, full body beauty.
Barre Las Vegas in particular never fails to impress me with focused, precise instruction that keeps a fast pace. Just when I am getting burned out on a movement, they shift gears. I feel lifted and energetically bright all day long after a class, and the toned feeling in my core lasts for a few days after taking a class!
You might be a little sore after your first class or two -- you'll be using muscles that you may not have ever talked to before! -- but don't give up as that will pass, even if you only go once a week from there on out.
I have a few physical injuries (wrist implant, recent shoulder surgery, etc) that keep me from doing certain weight bearing yoga movements like down dog and chaturanga, so most Vegas yoga classes are just out of the question for me. By contrast the instructors at Barre have been kind, generous and understanding (and efficient!) about offering modifications for some of the movements. I can do push ups leaning on the barre, or triceps with a weight rather than doing dips on the floor.
Don't be late, because the class moves so fast, if you miss the first 5 minutes you missed a LOT, including the warm ups to make everything else safe.
Wear socks!
I have a philosophy about fitness classes. Look at the bodies of the regular attendees . . . if you want to look like them, keep taking the class. For this reason I've been gravitating more and more to Barre Las Vegas even though other group fitness classes at my gym are included with my membership. The female bodies I see in class are exactly how I'd like to be -- balanced, lean, pulled in, feminine, sculpted and lovely. The testimonial is all around you.
My only regrets are that the classes are relatively expensive (especially compared to group ex classes at my gym that are "free") and that this location is a full 30 minute drive from my house. But the classes are so great I'm dishing out a full 5 stars.
A+ instructors and fun music!
