January marks the start of a new year, new beginnings, a chance to start over, reprioritize, and recommit. I understand people getting excited for a new year, but I also understand feeling really overwhelmed and unsure where to even start. I fall into both camps of being ready for a new start, a chance to commit to something new. But where to even start? It feels like a lot.
Have you ever thought about committing to yourself?
What if we could start the year taking care of our bodies and our minds? Instead of doing crazy workouts and diets, what if we commit to daily movement that makes us feel great physically and mentally? What if we finally learn that we cannot pour from an empty cup? What if we take the time to show ourselves the love that we show to others?
I know this may seem impossible, especially as moms wearing all the hats. What if I told you that it is possible, that you can do it with an incredibly supportive community? Enter, barre3. Barre3 is unlike any other barre class you have ever taken.
Barre3 is pursuing balance, being mindful, and feeling empowered.
Barre3’s approach to movement combines strength, cardio, and mindfulness to help you create a fitness and wellness routine that you will love.
Every January, barre3 has a Commitment to Self, encouraging members to make time for themselves. To set aside time to move their bodies and feel empowered while doing it.
The idea behind Commitment to Self is to commit to movement for the month of January, with the goal of moving your body at least four times per week. Schedule your movement the way you would a meeting. And set time aside for you. Instead of change for change’s sake alone, barre3 is focused on growth — aligning our actions with how we want to show up in the world. An added bonus? If you move with barre3 four times per week, you will receive a retail discount.
From now through January 31, new clients will receive 50% off their first month of an unlimited membership.
By committing to yourself through barre3, you are never alone or without support. All clients will be provided with inspirational, branded Reflection Cards that can be taken home to track new habits. Barre3 Albuquerque also incentivizes clients to take classes frequently to solidify habits and routines for the new year. Anyone who goes to a class at least 20 times during the month of January will be entered into a raffle for a gift basket.
Treat yourself like you are important . . . because you are.
Fitness classes can be intimidating. I get it. I have thought the same thing. But barre3 has an incredibly welcoming, positive environment, and serves as a support system and community. Something that is much needed as a mom.
Barre3 is for everyone. They meet you where you are and offer modifications on every move. They encourage you to listen to your body, and if one movement feels wrong, modification is supported, not frowned upon. I have taken classes where even the instructors will modify.
Barre3 is all about creating a holistic, sustainable routine. They facilitate change from the inside out through a combination of strength, cardio, and mindfulness.
If that doesn’t sound amazing already, have I mentioned that barre3 Albuquerque has a play lounge? You can get your movement in, uninterrupted, while your kids are playing with the incredible staff at the studio, most of which are moms themselves.
For so many people, barre3 has been life-changing.
I wanted to know what keeps people going and what keeps them motivated. I asked the question to a few members of the barre3 community, “What does barre3 mean to you?”
Here are the responses I received:
“The community at barre3 is amazing! Not only do we get to move together in the studio, we get to talk, connect, laugh, and feel included. It has been one of the most important things in my life these past 5 years.” – Chelsea
“When I signed up for barre3 I was just looking for a class to help get in shape, but over the past year, it’s provided me so much more than I ever expected. It’s something in my day I do just for me. It helps relax me and allows me to let go of my day. My confidence has increased in my capabilities, and most of all I have met amazing new friends and feel part of a community. ALL of the instructors are beyond awesome and each carry their unique spin on class. Barre3 has definitely become such a big part of my life – something I never want to be without. Thank you for all you’ve given me.” – Niki
“From the moment you walk in the door, the positive vibes from the staff make you feel right at home. This is the first place I’ve taken my boys (ages 3 and 4) to hang out in the play lounge while I work out. I fully trust and know they’re in good hands with the staff. Above all, the workouts are wonderful! As someone stepping back into group fitness after two kids, barre3 was perfect. They invite you to modify based on how your body is feeling and focus on what your body is telling you rather than what you look like. I feel more in tune with my body every time I go and can feel myself getting stronger. It’s so good to be a part of such an empowering community!” – Genevieve
If you are ready to commit to yourself and start your New Year mindfully, I would encourage you to take a class.
