I can't find a place any closer to me - I can walk across the street to work out!  I first tried Barre3 when a CMYE (community manager yelp event) was hosted here.  It was a free class complete with mini Jamba smoothies courtesy of Jackie and Barre3, and I was intrigued.\n\nI started going to physical therapy for my lower back and right hip - as soon as my birthday hit I started to fall apart and now Eric R. wants to exchange me for another wife (just kidding).  However, being married to a very active person has been interesting because while I love to hike I never really enjoyed being in the gym or doing other activities of the sort.  My physical therapist liked that barre supplements my therapy so I knew it was a good idea to take the introductory 3 for $30 deal offered by the studio.\n\nLast Saturday I dragged Eric R. with me to the Oklahoma red cross donation class, so we both donated the full class cost each to help with the tornado destruction.  We went to the second class and ran into Molly T. leaving the first class.  Eric R. realized barre3 was quite tough and is a great workout for me.  We had Alison as an instructor and she was great.  I came yesterday to my first paid class with Jackie and it was hardcore!  Each of the three classes has had slight variations on movements and stretches, so I like the element of surprise and the activation of muscles that never ached before!\n\nI really liked the atmosphere here as it is clean and spacious.  I also like how the instructors will work with each individual's injuries and help adjust us during the class.  We are told to listen to our bodies and take breaks as needed.  There is no pressure but instead a lot of encouragement.  For those of you with children, childcare only costs $5 per class and is offered during morning classes and on Tuesdays and Thursdays for afternoon classes.  You can go barefoot or wear barre/yoga sticky socks.  This is the perfect place for me to wear my Nike studio wrap pack that I bought when it first debuted.\n\nEach class works legs, arms, glutes, and core and includes ample stretching throughout the class.  I feel like someone just punched me in the ribs so I know I am doing something right!
