I’m Going Barre Crazy!!!
I’m so addicted to the barre workout right now, I’m going barre crazy! I love it so much! The classes are incredibly fun, challenging and I’ve seen tremendous results in my body. After 4 months of barre classes, I lost 1.25 inches off my waist, 1 inch off my hips/booty, 3/4 inch off each inner thigh and 2.5 pounds. A total of 3.75 inches GONE!
Not only has my shape changed, my core has never been stronger, my balance has improved greatly, I’m more flexible, and all of my muscles are longer and leaner. Results I’ve never achieved from running, biking or swimming alone. And best of all, I feel GREAT!
My weeks are booked full of classes and I look forward to every class. This week I’m definitely going barre & fitness class crazy. Check out my schedule:
- Mon: 6:30pm Xtend Barre
- Tues: 7:00pm Pilates Reformer class (review coming this weekend)
- Wed: 6:30pm gym workout – elliptical & barre exercises

Am I crazy or what? After tomorrow’s 2nd barre class, I may feel like Sarah did after her first Xtend Barre class: (photos from Sarah’s post)
But seriously, if you are looking for a workout that will transform your body and have fun while doing it, go to a barre class! If you need a little extra push, here are some sweet deals at Xtend Barre in Mission Viejo:

And just to show you how much I love Xtend Barre Mission Viejo, here are a few photos of the New Years Eve 75-min intensive class:
And after class I usually hang around to talk to people because I can’t stop talking about how much I love Xtend Barre. On New Years Eve I was chatting with some of the instructors and this is what we ended up doing: (Photos courtesy of Stephanie at Xtend Barre MV)
Hi, my name is Caroline and I’ve found your blog through Xtend’s FB page when you wrote the review and have been reading ever since. I discovered Xtend earlier in 2011…LOVE LOVE LOVE Xtend….so much that I decided to become certified in it and teach! I love reading your blog as you review classes and prepare for your journey to become a fitness instructor 😀 I don’t want to post too much more publicly here about my own life, but if you’d like to chat more about Xtend (believe me, I love to talk about how much I love it, too), or anything else fitness-related, just let me know and I’ll give you my e-mail address. 🙂
Hi Caroline, nice to meet you and thanks for reading my blog! That’s so awesome you love Xtend Barre as much as I do and you got certified to teach it, very cool & congrats!! I got hooked on the barre workout in Sept and then discovered XB in Nov, by far my favorite barre class too. I’ll send you an email soon. Thanks!
Barre is so fun – love the photos – looks like your class was even more fun than mine! 😉
Thanks! Do you teach barre classes or take them?
