Just bumping this up because I recently activated my 30-day free trial. I've only done a few Xtend Barre workouts so far, but I have to say I am enjoying them! They have the "energy" of P57 that I enjoy, but I find them to be less... intimidating. It might be the 30 minutes vs 57 minutes?
I don't see myself doing them every day, but the ones I've tried so far have been challenging, yet do-able. I will probably try some of the Yoga workouts too, but really don't have any interest in the Tough Mudder or 600 second ones. I also really like that I can stream the workouts directly to our TV through my Roku. Although I enjoy the online Barre3 and P57 workouts, not being able to stream them directly to my tv (without hooking up my laptop) ultimately made me cancel my subscriptions. |

Groupon has a free 60 day trial going on. https://www.groupon.com/deals/n-openfit. I’m really only interested in Andrea Rogers’ stuff right now, but there are other offerings, as well as coaching and eating plans.
So far I’ve done one week of XB pilates 3 week calendar. Today I did an xtend barre workout, day 1 from the 30 day calendar. There are 12 pilates and 30 barre videos, all 30 minutes. I love Andrea. I don’t mind her hyper-ness. I feel it’s a good mix of toning with some cardio. I like her choreography and larger range of motion. I had the original xtend barre dvd and alway liked her style. I’m glad to see more from her. However, it doesn’t sound like there is a plan to add or make any more XB videos. Anyway, I plan to alternate XB pilates and xtend barre for the next 2 months. 42 different workouts over the next couple months should provide a good deal of variety. |

On another note--I also recently tried a clip of her older "Lean and Chiseled" DVD and I did not like it nearly as much as Xtend Barre and XB Pilates. Also.... wow, I honestly would not have recognized her if I didn't know that was her teaching the class. She's a beautiful woman and she was adorable in the Lean and Chiseled video but she's much more.... enhanced(??) now than back then. |

I’ve been alternating her openfit barre and pilates for the last 3 weeks. I do either one or two videos back to back. I’ve completed 2.5 weeks of her barre 30 amp calendar and 1.5 weeks of her 21 day amp calendar. There is a hybrid calendar under her pilates program that alternates barre and pilates. I didn’t notice that until I was already a couple weeks in. I am definitely feeling challenged. I’m feel my heart rate increase and everything burns. I am very much enjoying my free 60 days but will likely be ready for something else when it is over. I wish I could just purchase her workouts as downloads. |
