Open Barre Fitness Studio just opened in Walnut Creek and tonight I took my first class. It's conveniently located near my office and I called to reserve a spot at 5:30. The owner Andrea taught the class I participated in and we worked our entire body for the entire hour. (They also have 45 minute classes - the class schedule is available online.)
The class was super challenging and worked our arms, shoulders, legs, abs, and other important muscle groups. It also focused on positions that promote flexibility and strength together. The music was fun and energetic, just like Andrea! She was encouraging and helped adjust our bodies slightly when we needed it. She also suggested ways to make certain activities more difficult (for the strong and brave) or a little easier (for people like me!)
I look forward to returning to this pretty, clean studio. The staff is warm and welcoming. They have one studio for fitness, and a room in the back with lockers (lock and keys provided) and changing rooms too. They also sell clothing and accessories in the front. It's definitely worth checking this barre studio out, no matter what your fitness level is. Working toward a healthy body shouldn't just be a New Year's resolution, but if that was on your list of goals for 2016, you can definitely make it happen here! Your first class is free (and drop-in classes are only $20 each).
