One: Going back to the Barre

I’ve returned to the barre at FORMAT Fitness. Barre is one of my favorite activities; it feels good to be back in classes at a studio.

My weekly post will cover barre basics (what is barre?), what is FORMAT Fitness, my fitness background, and my return to in-person classes. I hope after reading this post you will returned to in-person classes, and I hope to see you at the barre at FORMAT.
