Barry’s Bootcamp is becoming a household name for butt-kicking…one that makes my legs shake just thinking about. I’ve peeked into a Barry’s studio before only to see the lights turned low, the music high, and sweat everywhere. It took me a while to get the guts up to register, knowing that this high intensity interval training class involves a treadmill (blech), but I knew it would be an amazing sweat.

Sweat Scale: high
Energy level: medium

For Day 3 of my morning workouts, I decided to look for somewhere that was within walking distance. This was a great idea because I assumed it would take less time than driving (I was in for a rude awakening…and an accidental jogging sesh). I also wanted something that would get my heart rate higher than barre so spin was the perfect fit.

I am currently spending a week trying to be a morning exerciser. I also happened to get ENGAGED the night before this exhausting week was set to begin. The result: a champagne-hangover 7:00 AM Monday barre class. After the initial sleep deprivation wore off, I took out a calendar and planned my class schedule for the rest of my week. Looking for places in the Hollywood/West Hollywood area, I stumbled across a morning class at Best U Studio. I’ve wanted to take this class for a while, so I decided there’s no better time then now!

Pilates Reformer at Reforming Bodies Pilates

Sweat Scale: low
Energy level: low

Doing a Pilates reformer class has always been on my bucket list but I’ve never had the guts to try it. Anything requiring use of a special machine makes me nervous because I hate looking like I have no idea what I’m doing (who am I kidding, I still look like that after 10 cardio barre classes). I decided to suck it up and give it a try, for the love of the blog!

Working out should be fun. That’s what initially got me off of the elliptical and on to the barre. I was tired of the same old movements for 60 minutes and found that group classes were what really got me motivated. I love to try new things so I signed up for a trampoline class, knowing that this would transport me back to childhood while getting in some good cardio.

I’ve been so barre obsessed recently that when I stumbled upon the words “first class free” at Flywheel I immediately starting planning my schedule around FlyBarre. Then I realized that I’ve been living a relatively cardio free life recently, and that’s not good for anyone, so I put my big girl panties on and signed up for the 6:30 Flywheel. This was a big step because spin has always been one of my biggest fears. It’s full of die-hards with their own clip on shoes and butt-padded shorts. These things intimidate me.

Fueling the Fire

Leave a comment

I am currently writing and editing my Flywheel review but I just HAD to share my excitement with you. I got an email this morning from Class Pass that if I sign up TODAY I get one month ($99 value) for free. I live for these gimmicks! Especially because I was planning to sign up for Class Pass in the next two weeks after all of my Groupons are up.

Just looking at the Class Pass schedule for this evening made my heart skip a beat. I immediately noticed a Barre + Cardio class at Exhale Spa tonight and reserved it. I’ve been dying to check out this studio but at the steep price of $25 per class I just couldn’t justify it.

For those who live under a rock, Class Pass membership is $99/month and lets you try out an unlimited number of fitness classes (3 per studio) around the city. For a girl who loves deals almost more than I love fitness classes, this is like striking gold!
