Hi Courtney! But you are NOT alone in feeling that way in barre classes …. I wish you could come to my barre classes — they are WAY more fun and open for all! You have no idea how much I wish I could come try your barre classes too! Group fitness should LIFT you up, and while instructors can challenge you and help you to have a safe workout, they should never make you feel this way.
I hated the lack of demo moves and being called out over and over again in a class of regulars, but not feeling like I had the knowledge to correct the moves. I think I also just prefer other group fitness classes over barre and my experience with this studio certainly confirmed that! Hi Allison! Oh well! Hi Ashley! I thought the workout was solid thought I did other things as well and the instructors at my studio were motivating. Now after trying all kinds of other workouts, I feel like PureBarre is more energetic, fun and more my style.
Diane recently posted… Beauty find: Kiko Milano Cosmetics. Hi Diane! But yes, there is much more competition in barre classes and studios in general now, which may be why I got a Groupon to take an unlimited month for so cheap heheh!
I have not taken a bar method class, but love the Barre3 classes I have taken. I would be really uncomfortable having the instructor call me out, particularly in a new to me workout. Hi Emily, Barre3 is one of the only barre classes that I have yet to try, and I need to!
I think you would really like Barre3 and they have childcare when you are ready for it. Thank you thank you for this post! The first barre class I ever took was at their Marina location and it was so terrible being called out like that all class.
It was like high school all over again. Hi Alexa! Honestly, this was so refreshing for me to read. Same type workout, but the instructor was SO happy and friendly, and other women welcomed me and chatted with me.
Too bad!! Three cheers for kindness! Thanks for your review! I commented prior that I did the entire training and became certified to teach the bar method, just to realize I hated feeling like I was in a cult with such rigid guidelines to follow as a teacher.
The guidelines made it extremely difficult to insert your own personality and to teach a class that is your own. When I asked the studio owner what the difference is between bar method and any other bar places, her answer was bar method is the Nordstrom and everywhere is the marshalls.
Needless to say I do not associate with them anymore! Hi Marie! Yessss, I totally remember when you chimed in that you trained to teach it, and then ditched it. Like what? Shallow much? I agree the instructors can be a bit creepishly similar. I personally love the constant corrections. I also am surprised how sore it leaves me. Kayla recently posted… Ep. Hi lady!
