How my favorite stress relief became my favorite community!

A year and a half ago I started to get bored of my gym routine and dealing with large amount of people. I went to the gym to stay in shape (although my diet wasn’t the best so OOPS) and destress from work but there was so many people that I couldn’t calm down, so I decided to join class-pass and try other gyms.

Through this app I finally took the jump and tried barre, I loved the workout but disliked the studio I first went to because the community felt too judgmental. I ended up finding another barre studio, sadly further away from my office but I loved the workout enough to try it out. Barre3 instantly became my favorite place, everyone was so accepting and encouraging. After a month or so I ended up cancelling my membership to class-pass and the studio as a member. This community started to feel like a little family and love to see the new faces that come in.

My happy place

Today, I just hit my 250th class and I’ve never been more proud of myself. My younger self would have been shocked to know I pay for a gym class and look forward to going. She would also be so proud to see how strong and confident I am now.
