First off I have to brag a little bit about Miami..Huffington Post just released the 12 Top Colleges for Undergrad teaching and Miami is one of them :) Love and Honor!
Miami has a special place and my heart and I'm so lucky to be able to still be with a lot of my fellow Miami graduates here in Chicago! We're gearing up for the big Winter Classic Hockey game about a month away on Soldier Field. It will be freezing but so much fun! My little brother, also a Miami Alum, will be in town with all of his class as well.
Miami alums are everywhere here in Chicago. I ended up running into a fellow alum while I tried out Barre Bee Fit for the first time Tuesday night with my friend Meghan. I have been dying to try their classes forever and they now have a studio in the Gold Coast just a good 5 minute walk from my apartment!
We tried out the Barre Bee class with Melissa Tuesday night at the Gold Coast Studio. She was a doll and I really enjoyed the class. They have a variety of classes, this one being their original class, a 60-minute full-body workout, targeting the arms, abs, thighs, and glutes and includes intermittent blasts of cardio conditioning. It was quite a class! The planks were working last night, my arms are pretty sore this AM.
Each class incorporates different props and equipment to aid in resistance and stretching. Tuesday we used weights and you could use a band for stability while on the bar as well. The class was challenging with a mix of isometric holds, heavy repetition and deep stretching in order to shape and lengthen muscles. It was a lot of fun, with the pump up music and how you can really feel your body being worked throughout the class.
I'm totally hooked! I recommend anyone that is looking to try. They offer an $8 first class for newcomers and I just signed up for an unlimited month for only $80 (normally around $99 plus). Check out their other classes and website here: Barre Bee Fit
I will be trying two other classes this week and I'll keep you posted on my favorite. If you're looking for a different class other than Pilates or need a little extra from yoga, these are the classes to try. I'm really excited to check out their kickboxing class as well.
Almost to the long weekend! We can do it!
