In April 2015 I started at Barre3 about 5 weeks before my wedding. Disclaimer, I HATE working out. I'm jealous of the girls who love it. BUT, Barre3 caught my attention because of the use of the ballet barre. I have always loved to dance and even though I knew this was nothing like dance, it lured me in to try it out. I knew for my wedding I wanted to be toned. After just 4 weeks of Barre3 I felt better than I had in years!
After the wedding, I'm reluctant to admit that I stopped going to Barre3. It wasn't until January of this year (2017) I made the time to incorporate Barre3 into my schedule again because my health became even more important to me. Let me tell you, the women at Barre3 South Buckhead are rockstars! Not only are the coaches top notch and super motivating but the women who come to the classes (I've see a few men, too!) are a delight! Starting out the New Year with the B3 All In program was really great accountability for me. Jessica quickly became my favorite in-class instructor as she does a great job of keeping everyone smiling (YES, smiling) while participating AND she really made me feel comfortable as she helped coach us through adjustments to make to get the most out of our time in the class. But, my favorite thing about Jessica is the way she says, "Good morning, Lindsay," EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I come in! Hillary is another one of my favorites as her energy and smile make me WANT to get out of bed at 5:30am to get to class because I know she'll call me by name during class and greet me with joy. And finally, today something happened that made me want to leave this review. Lindsay is an instructor (who I later came to realize lives across the condo community from me). I had seen her about 2 weeks ago in our neighborhood and told her I had had some medical issues this month and a major project at work that had stopped me from making time for Barre3. BUT... y'all... when I walked into Barre3 this morning for the first time in 4 weeks, this is what I heard from Lindsay, "Good morning! It's so good to see you back. How are you feeling? How was your presentation last week?" THIS made all the difference. This isn't a gym, people. This is a community of people who want to be the best versions of themselves possible, and a community of people who encourage others to do the same.
Thanks, Barre3 for making a girl who hates working out, want to wake up (way too early) before work to come take care of her body! :)
