Barre 3 January challenge

Did anyone else do this challenge? I must say I absolutely loved it. I ended up doing 20 barre 3 workouts for the month and absolutely love their new method. I have some favorites- Dustin, Jordan and I loved Charo’s. I remember someone posting here a while ago how they didn’t like Charo, so i didn’t really try her until week 3 but I’m so glad I did. She is a favorite!

I’m so glad I caved on their Black Friday deal and have been so happy combining these workouts with kettlebells

I did many of the workouts which most were added to my favorites One clas I ditched was a Dustin Live class. It was too fragmented for me because he was trying to respond to posts. But I do like his other classes.

I 2nd that I went for the BF deal. I really feel it is my workout niche.
Although I tend to warm up with 10-15 mins of CS /Essentrics.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that is enjoying it.

Yeah I don’t think they have the lives figured out just yet. You either can’t hear the music at all, or can’t hear the instructor at all

I didn’t do the challenge but I love the workouts! I subscribed when they had their Black Friday deal & I do them 2 or 3 times a week.

I didn’t do the challenge but I average two of their workouts per week.

I am liking that there is so much new content.

Did you see they actually have two “HIIT” workouts with guest instructors and an option for some impact? They are far from really being HIIT, but I liked the one male instructor a lot and hope to see more of him on the platform.

I generally do two of their workouts per work. I really enjoy Dustin and Crhista Joy.

Those are my favorites too! I also like Alison and Jordan’s recent offerings.

They don’t seem as methodical as before and much less like a “barre” workout. They are much more cardio focused and you can use light or heavy (about 8 LB) because the weight movements are slower and more controlled.

I enjoy them so much now. I feel so much more complete and worked out now. Before I used them as add ons. I feel like there is no need to add on to these.

You get a little more upper body work now and not as much thigh focused. You still work the lower body but I do feel it’s more posterior focused.

I completed the January Challenge and really happy with the new style of workouts too! Andrew, Dustin, and Christa Joy are my favorites. I've been wanting to start using heavier weights and glad they are incorporating slower moves to accommodate them. Love the amount of live classes each week with the numerous non-live workouts B3 keeps adding.

The Black Friday deal has made Barre3 such a great value. I'm glad they realized not everyone is able and willing to pay the $29/mth or $300/yr.
