Love most things.
Hate - Pure Barre. |

I am intrigued about why Pure Barre is so divisive.
I like it because it’s dynamic enough for my mind not to drift away, and it’s different every time. I like the convenience of booking a class pretty much whenever and not to schedule my life around the workout. I like that it’s primarily females - they smell less than men. |

Love swimming, weight lifting, skiing, kickboxing, yoga, F45.
Orange theory bored me. Hate running. Like walking, cycling/ spin, barre and Pilates in limited doses. |

| I like swimming, walking and reformer pilates. Sadly that is way too expensive and I had to give it up. I hate skiing, any contact sport, anything intense. |

It can be slow and hard but I like that I can’t focus on anything else but my form because it’s that hard to maintain perfect form in that routine and I like that there’s almost never men. I don’t sweat during PB either. |

| What is F45 exactly? Went to the website but couldn’t get a clear picture of it. |

I find pure barre so so boring. Just doing little movements over and over until it aches. Holding my arm straight out also eventually gets hard and aches but that doesn’t mean it’s a good workout. I’d rather just do 10 pushups and 10 weighted squats and get actual strength and move on with my day (I’m not saying it’s not a good work, this is just my thought process during it) |

It’s a circuit/station class based gym. They have a ton of different workouts and each one is different. MWF is more cardio based, TTH is strength and hybrid on the weekends. Rotate through stations of different workouts and they are shown on screens that you follow. Coaches demonstrate at the beginning and help throughout. It’s about 45 minutes but that does include demo time which stinks. It’s pricey like orangetheory and all the rest. No contract. Month to month. Check out instagram to get better idea of it. |
