Welcoming in a fresh month with a fresh Member Spotlight!
Meet Gwen, our April Member of the Month🌷🪻🌷
1. How long have you been a member at Barre-Up and what inspired you to take your first class?
✨I originally signed up for the 3 week intro special in Feb 2025. I had signed up for a gym next door to my work, but they weren’t open yet, so in the meantime I stayed active with classes from the MINDBODY app. Tracey K. found the special, so we went for it bc we’d be able to try out all the different classes. I loved the energy of the studio and how supported I felt, which made it easy to keep coming back.
2. What’s one class or workout move you never thought you’d enjoy, but now love?
✨I never thought I would enjoy the foam roller exercises, but now I’m loving it… April Fool’s!!— IYKYK, 😊. Yoga, Pilates, or barre—to be frank, I thought I’d never want to do these classes, much less enjoy them. While I would occasionally do these formats in the past, I never felt like they were for me.
3. What’s a favorite song that would hype you up in every class if you heard it?
✨Hands down Benny Benassi’s - Satisfaction!
4. What’s something you’ve learned about yourself since joining?
✨I learned that my body didn’t need an exhaustive treadmill run or an hour on the elliptical to get that serotonin boost, and that simple, small movements can make a big difference in keeping my body fit.
5. When you’re not taking a class, where might we find you?
✨When I’m not at the studio, you’ll usually find me telling my coworkers to reboot and put in a ticket, having an adult bev with friends, or spending time with my man friend in Europe 💕
6. What’s a fun fact or hidden talent you’d like to share with our community?
✨I was a serving w***h at Medieval Times in Florida in my twenties. I know you can picture it!
7. How has being a part of our studio/community impacted your wellness journey?
✨Being part of the Barre-Up community has had such a positive impact on me. It’s a great community of women (99.9%!) who identify with wanting to feel better in our own skin. As well as the instructors - who all want us to feel included, successful, and welcome.
Gwen! We love having you at BU! Your good natured attitude is so well loved by all the instructors (and our students) and we love that you feel so at home when you walk through our doors! So glad you and Tracey found us!! 🤍🤍
