I'm really excited to try this class again! I was extremely intimidated going into it but tried to be open-minded..and was then shocked to discover that I needed heavier weights to make this challenging (I used 8 pounds + 1 pound balas). As a petite lady I've always had the mindset that I'm physically weak (how wrong is that!?), and this class really helped me realize that not only am I much stronger physically than I thought, but mentally, too. Never thought I would be one who loved strength training, but overall I found this class really accessible and challenging in a beautiful way. Hope to do more of these in the future (and to get some heavier weights for next time!).

Loved this class, which felt like a super complete 20-minute barre class (felt more like a sculpt-y burn, but there was also a LOT of sweat). This class gets it DONE in a very short amount of time. The ankle weights add a real burn factor to this, and by the end, you really do feel like you've just completed a moving meditation: I felt completely relaxed and unwound once we reached the closing. Can't wait to do it again!
