After reading about Jess and Jolene, and their barre n9ne experiences/transformations over the past year, I was so excited when I heard we were finally getting a barre studio in the area. Barre Cleveland just opened in Beachwood last week so Jess, Kimberly, Nadine, and I made a trip to the eastside to check out all the hype.

The space was really pretty and as I looked I around I got kind of giddy thinking how I was about to get my big booty kicked.

I had such high hopes for this place. And I really enjoyed the class, I did (found myself giggling more than once when the instructor kept telling us to “poke” <—–totally immature, I know ). But I left wanting more. More shake in my legs, more burn in my core, more sweat on my brow, just more.

And maybe this is because the studio is new and trying to figure out what works best for everyone? It’s too bad that the only location in on the eastside because if there was one on the westside (and a cheaper price package – wowza!), I’d love to give it another try.

At least I got to see these girls (and meet Kimberly for the first time who is so sweet and seriously gorgeous!):

Have you ever been to a barre class (or something similar)? What did you think?
