I HATE their new interface. I didn't even realize there were 2 new 60 min workouts. The 'latest workouts' section shows me the new strength w Andrew, the 30 min cardio w/ Christa Joy (who I adore!) and the 30 min cardio w/ Charo. And then there are some from January.
Thank you for pointing these out for me. |

I also love Christa Joy, but do not care for Charo. Christa Joy's cardio is so much fun while Charo makes cardio a hard slog.
However, the real issue I have with barre3 these days it that I do not understand what their philosophy is now. Before they professed that they combined cardio, strength and mind/body in one (i.e., fusion) and always told everyone, that yes, you did get all 3 from their workouts. But now they seems to say think that the old way isn't enough cardio to be cardio, so you must have exclusively cardio workouts. And now it seems that they may also think that the old way isn't enough strength to be strength since some of their new strength workouts seem to be structured as traditional weight training workouts rather than barre-type strength moves. I never thought barre 3 was meant to be the only way to train and I mixed it up with walking, yoga, and kettlebells. Of course, you need to cross train. But I found the old barre 3 did give cardio and strength benefits while having a lot more fun factor than tedious cardio and weight training workouts. Is the new barre 3 subscribing to the idea that we have to have more tedious cardio and strength training to get results and that the old classic barre 3 really wasn't good enough? It's hard to say because as far as I can see they never seem to explain why they are going the way they are going. Does anyone know? |

Are there other newer videos that do the more traditional weight moves? I only saw just the one with the “intervals”.
Incidentally, despite what they said, I didn’t ever really feel it was enough for strength on its own, even when I had phases where that was about all I did for a few weeks at a time. My heart rate runs about the same no matter what the title of the video is (except the mindful ones). |

The "intervals" are the ones with traditional weight training moves, but there are a few of them.
I agree that barre isn't enough for strength on its own, but not impressed with their intervals, because if you are going to go with major strength training, these wouldn't be enough either. |

Ugh. Just ugh. Started my Saturday with a B3 workout. Strength conditioning with Allison. It was awful. Boring, repetitive, not barre3 at all. She kept talking about intervals, but it was three supersets. What the heck are they doing? I used to love barre3 and still enjoy the studio classes, but online is an absolute nightmare. I've never seen a company implode like this. They had something really special and they are actively ruining it. So sad.

I know I hate those so-called "intervals." If you look at the comments I keep telling them these aren't intervals, but supersets. If you could chime in on the comments I'd appreciate it. This is the worst new part of barre3. Not all of the new ones are these so-called intervals. The new Andrew one is standard barre 3.
You made me so happy knowing these were supersets and not intervals. I can't believe how ignorant they were to call these intervals. |
