b:core methods

Lovely new barre studio that opened in the Ix building downtown. The studio is tucked in the back of the building so when arriving make sure to check the Ix building sign. There is plenty of parking in the gravel lot in front which made it really easy to park and walk straight in!
The space is brightly lit, clean, and the ladies working there are really nice and welcoming. The studio also provides ample cubby space and really cute and very clean bathrooms/​showers. Those details are extremely appreciated, especially after a work out!
I’m a barre novice and decided to try it out because of their great new member promo (listed on their Facebook page)! Currently they are offering Barre Fusion classes which to my experience is a combination of simple and complex core training that stem from ballet techniques. I’ve had two different instructors so far, both of which had different styles, but complimentary in their class structure. The classes are relatively small which make for a more personalized experience. I really appreciate the instructors being patient and providing constructive guidance on stance and technique. It made a newbie like myself feel at ease as well as helps me learn the right postures.
I would definitely recommend this studio for those that are looking for focused core based work outs. Being a distance runner, I’d say this also helps provide a robust new work out to the routine!
