I feel amazing (and a little dead) after every class and I leave truly feeling like I've worked every part of my body - and not only on full-body days! I've gotten stronger and faster, and I've finally fallen in love with working out. I've tried Orangetheory, SoulCycle, and plenty of similar studios on ClassPass, but none have compared to Barry's. But most importantly, it's the best workout I've ever gotten. The fact that we're constantly moving around and switching from floor to treadmill prevents me from getting bored. I personally need a lot of stimuli to stay interested during a class - even the hot yoga studio I go to blasts its playlist - which makes Barry's perfect for me. I will warn you that people either love or hate the high volume, but ear plugs are provided. The blaring music gets you so pumped up and keeps you from overthinking things because you can't even hear your thoughts. Why I love itįirst of all, the studio is dim with flattering red lighting and very loud. The schedule also varies, focusing on a different body section each day and full body on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. But a typical workout consists of 60 minutes of split cardio time on the treadmill and strength training on the floor (unless you want to punish your body and opt for double floor or double tread). And to my shock, I ended up loving every second of it! What a Barry's Bootcamp workout is likeĮach class is slightly different, depending on the instructor and what they have planned for that day. I almost backed out of trying this high-intensity workout, but the comfort of having a friend there to suffer with me was reassuring and I followed through. Nothing should burn 1,000 calories in an hour. But when I went home and looked more into what this Barry's Bootcamp was, I immediately regretted getting myself into something that claims it burns up to 1,000 calories per class. I took a free-class offer from our fitness team without hesitation, since I'm usually down to try anything at least once. I forced myself to continue taking a variety of classes from yoga to cycling, but it wasn't until my first class at Barry's Bootcamp when my attitude toward fitness completely shifted. But afterward, my quick high wore off and I went back to hating running and exercise in general. Thankfully, I survived without any injuries, and I even came out more open-minded about fitness. I was doing it as a guest of the 2015 Tone It Up Retreat, and we all thought it'd be fun to throw me in there without any training and see how I did. I only ran my first 5K ever about two years ago and it wasn't even by choice.
