I can't speak for the streaming but the new-ish Physique Cardio Blast (with the guy instructor) is really fun. I do think it is more thigh than seat focused, but it gets and keeps your heart rate up and is very fun.
The other new ones, the 360 one and the other cardio one with the woman that were issued around the same time, I also have but the one I mentioned above is the pick of the three. I love the originals...volume 1, 2, bun and thigh booster, and the express workouts. I didn't keep the arm and abs since I mostly use barre for lower body.

The workouts are a blend of Tracy Anderson-ish floorwork and light weights and more traditional squat/lunge/barre type lower body exercises. They are all around 25 minutes long. Some of the workouts are better than others. I like the total body and lower body emphasis ones the most. I can't do the trampoline or cardio dance workouts (too complicated), so I'm just doing the toning workouts and walking instead.
The ones I have done so far are challenging but since they're only 25 minutes, not a huge ordeal. There are different instructors throughout but the format is generally has you do light weights, followed by standing lower body (sometimes these are combined into compound exercises), then some plank work, then quadruped floor work, then 3-4 minutes of abs. |

I think you can get the streaming for maybe as low as $30 a month. Still on the pricey side, but at least it's out of the pricing stratosphere! |

Thread Bump
I am totally on a barre/Callanetics kick since December so I decided to try the free week of P57 streaming. So far I have done 2 30 minute workouts (one yesterday and one today) and they were so tough those 30 minutes were enough! They have a great cardio element to them which I enjoyed as well.
They have a few workout programs built in to streaming ranging from 2-10 weeks with a calendar that links to the workout for that day. For me this would be worth the $30/month with the 3 month commitment and different enough to warrant both P57 and Bar Method subscriptions. Just sharing in case anyone is on the fence. I think I will commit to 3 months and rotate these with Bar Method and my live classes. I haven't been able to make it to my live classes as often as I'd like due to working full time and being a mom/wife but the streaming makes me feel like I didn't miss out since I am getting a quality/challenging workout. |

Does anyone do the streaming classes on Barre3? I have a 15 day free pass which is about to expire. I'm on the fence about subscribing to the site because I only really like the new workouts that they put out once a week. The music is really good on these compared to the older workouts. I'm going back and forth between Barre3 and The Bar Method (which in my opinion has better music, but not as many workouts in their library). For those of you who subscribe to either or both of these sites, what's your opinion on them? What do you like, dislike, etc? Help me make a decision!!
