To Our Dear Barre Beauties,For the past few weeks, I have been contemplating a theme for our New Year. As you may know, I really don’t like New Year – “New” You, which many “Gyms” use as their saying for the new year. Why do we have to be “new”? Aren’t we great as we are? Yes, we are great!
Let me start that I am long overdue on congratulating this barre beauty on reaching 500 club! Yes, Jeanne set a goal to reach 500 Club and did it! And let me add, the first thing she said was, “And I am not stopping here!” That’s right Jeanne! We love your commitment to your health and wellness. This is a
I am so glad that I went to the Duneland Chamber of Commerce’s Hatta A Girl, event today. This event celebrates women and all the hats we wear – from mom, to work, to coordinators for all activities and social events…the list goes on and on. My beautiful friend, Julie, was one of the speakers this morning at the event
Today I was interviewed live on a local community radio station. Not knowing what to expect, the ladies in my 8:30 stretch class gave me that confidence boost. Then, I go in and ask, how long is this? An hour. An hour? OMG! That is a long time. But as I started talking about Barre + Beyond, our workout, our

I love what we call our power week; starting with Chad’s birthday, our anniversary in the middle, then ends with my birthday. Then add a Jewish holiday in there and some family time, and boom, it’s a really special time! It
Anything new is hard. It’s hard because new means different. It’s hard because new is uncomfortable. New is hard because it is in human nature to worry about what other people think.

To Our Dear Barre Beauties,Sometimes we hit a rut! Sometimes, we get tired of all the same thing. But sometimes, the best thing to get out of the rut are friends. It may not even be your best friend, but another friend that is there to support you in a different way than a best friend. Whether you need to
“Mind Over Matter” comes into play every day. It is something we do in our classes, when we hit the ultimate shake zone, when we feel the fatigue beyond belief, when we feel like quitting. But when the instructor guides you to breathe, close your eyes and you hear the final countdown, you know you can do it and you
If anyone knows me, you know that I care. I care about you even if I don’t know you; even if I don’t know your story; even if I have only met you once. What I do know is that we come to Barre + Beyond for the same reason. We come to work out. We come to clear our
