[quote=Anonymous]Out of curiousity, were you not pleased with the Bethesda location/classes for Barre at Sport & Health or the NW location? I think the NW gym is nothing special overall and I hate searching for parking around there, but I really like all of their barre instructors ("Freedom Barre") and enjoy the music/choreography and how the teachers do the entire routine with enthusiasm; they acknowledge when parts are hard for the group and are relatable/fun. I have tried Barre3 in Spring Valley and BarMethod in downtown Bethesda and both studios had waifish looking teachers mostly standing in the corner modeling a few poses but not actually completing the whole class with the students. I found it far less inspiring. (Admittedly, I didn't go a lot so there may be a variety of teachers and I just got unlucky the times I went.) I'm also happy that NW Sport & Health has childcare (so does Barre3 in Spring Valley) which helps if I want to go on the weekend and drop my kid. I am really not a group exercise type of person but I do like the Barre offerings at NW Sport & Health and I feel like it's whittling my waist a bit and toning my body overall like no other exercises I'd done in the past. Good luck with your experimenting![/quote]
