Jyll had first inquired about classes at Barre + Beyond over the summer. She had called when I was in Boston; yes I had answered phone calls as I usually do while away. She was interested in a semi-private class for her and her two older daughters after reading the Valpo magazine article last summer. She was intrigued about the
Our team has been sharing what they are thankful for this year. Each spoke about big things and little things; from mash potatoes and babies sleeping, to new members of families, babies and dogs, opportunities to grow and our barre family. Now it is my turn. I too am thankful for my family, my home, the team, and our barre
Let me tell you a little secret about me; I love shopping! But here’s the thing about buying new clothes. I require high quality, soft material, great fit, and of course stylish. So quality is important to me because I like pieces that I know I will love for a long time. I’d rather spend a little extra money and
I was not in the studio much October and I too get nervous about coming back to take that first class. I was nervous because I am supposed to be able to do everything but the reality is, why I should I get nervous. I am human. I thought I would plank while away, and I did not. I walked

That smile! This barre beauty always has a smile on her face, always in a good mood, and positive about everything. She is a selfless person; always doing everything in her power to make brides’ wedding day perfect. Many of us would get caught up in our work, but I love that Natalie takes the time out of her day to
It’s my birthday! I love celebrating birthdays, as a time to be happy, smile and have fun. It is also a time to reflect. So I have to apologize for not writing these past 2 weeks… they have been stressful. Yes! Very stressful. Lots of frustration, tears, anger, sadness, mixed with excitement and happiness. Just overwhelmed! I wear many hats
October 1, 2017 Dear Barre Beauties, October is a busy month for me; birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and this year moving and travel! So now I need to make sure that I make time for myself, otherwise I will go nuts. We all get busy but once we get into a routine
Do you remember your first class? I do! For me it was memorable because my legs were shaking uncontrollably and I recall thinking to myself, “I thought I was in shape!”. Well, I was in shape but different shape. So when a new Barre + Beyond client asked if Barre ever gets any easier? Well the answer is no. I
I am so glad to do a studio spotlight on this barre beauty today. I can remember the day she came into the studio; with her family as support, ready to try something new. She had her hair pulled back with a headband, stood in the right side of the studio and I got my first glimpse of hardworking Kelly.
