In May, we are celebrating moms all month long! Meet some of our most inspiring clients – supermoms who have had amazing results practicing barre3. Read below to see how these moms have transformed their bodies and found balance in their own words.
Christina Delaney, barre3 Morristown
My younger sister started taking barre classes in Florida and insisted that I try it out. It was just my luck that a barre3 studio was opening close to my home. I signed up for a free trial class and it was the best thing I ever did! After consistently attending classes for six weeks, I was able to fit back into my pre-pregnancy size 4 clothes again: a feat I didn’t think I would ever accomplish within the first year of having my daughter (let alone six weeks).
With almost all exercise programs we are taught that big movements mean big changes. barre3 challenges that statement and frankly blows it out of the water. It is just incredible how such little movements can change the appearance of my body. Even at the peak of my competitive figure skating career, I didn’t look and feel this good!
Now that I am back to work, I have promised myself and worked out a schedule with my “family time” to get to class three days a week and I will move mountains to get there. After class, I feel like I can re-enter the world again a little taller and a lot calmer. Between the wonderful owners, motivating instructors and the childcare providers, my barre3 studio truly feels like a family to me. I feel the barre3 way of life has completely transformed me and I couldn’t be happier!
Nicole Leszewski, barre3 Portland
After having my second child, I was looking for a way to get into shape and heal the abdominal separation I developed while pregnant. Fortunately, I found barre3 and my life has changed because of it! barre3 has become an integral part of my life. From the first class, I knew I was hooked. Eight weeks and 15 pounds later, it has been so worth it! The one hour a day (5-6 times a week) I commit to is efficient and inspiring. The instructors have always been knowledgeable and accommodating to my postpartum needs, providing me with appropriate modifications.
My separation has healed and my core is so much stronger! Also, the excellent childcare that is provided allows me to have peace of mind, and focus during that hour of self care. barre3 has become more than a way to “lose the baby weight.” It is an influential and life-changing experience for me, finding strength and peace within myself. This truly is a community that lives its truth, and has inspired me to live mine.
Liz Hinchliffe, barre3 Bend
Since beginning my journey with the barre3 crew in Bend, Oregon, I’ve lost 31 pounds and counting. Surprised? Definitely. I was only going for those last 11 pounds of baby weight but funny things happen when you take a risk, partner with barre3’s concept of becoming a healthier you, and are surrounded by instructors who believe in you…you persevere through your goals.
Mel Biggs, barre3 Knoxville
I have noticed major changes practicing barre3. First and foremost is my state of mind. I can walk into class completely frazzled and “out of it” and by the end of the hour, I feel centered, balanced, and I can breathe again. My arms are toned, my legs look long and strong, my core is getting stronger every day, and my butt has definitely been lifted and shaped! I love the results.
