I’ve always been a solo workout kind of girl, until I joined Weight Watchers and started looking for something new to complement my cardio routine. After trying a few videos alone, and a few classes with a friend, both my friend and I bought BarreAmped Groupons and tried our first class last October. At the end of that hour I was sore, shaky, and the tiniest bit nauseous – and I KNEW I would be coming back.
There are so many things that I love about BarreAmped! I love that every class pushes me more than I’m capable of pushing myself, and that the instructors can always inspire me to maintain that “one last hold,” despite the burn or shake. I love that it’s about celebrating my strength, rather than overcoming my weakness. Read More
Hi there! My name is Jenn Konopka and I’m a research scientist at Vanderbilt University. My BarreAmped story began just over 6 months ago… and I wholeheartedly expect it to be a permanent fixture in my life! I began with a 5-pack of classes that I purchased with a friend as much out of curiosity as in hope that it might be a way to enhance my fitness routine for my wedding this Spring. Immediately after the first class it was clear to me that this was an entirely unique fitness concept, and I was completely drawn to the challenge. That initial 5-pack of classes quickly led to me signing on for two back-to-back runs of Rebekah and Lori’s six-week Bootcamp program, and now I’m completely hooked on Fire classes! Read More
