New Month - New Spotlight highlighting our wonderful members. โจ
Say hi and get to know our ๐February ๐Member of the Month - Sri!
1. How long have you been a member at Barre-Up and what inspired you to take your first class?
โจI joined Barre-Up in July of โ25 after taking my first class through ClassPass. At the time, I was looking for a break from my usual routine of running and weightlifting at my apartment gym. I wanted something different a space that felt welcoming, warm, and community-driven, while still pushing me to be my best self. Barre-Up turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.
2. Whatโs one class or workout move you never thought youโd enjoy, but now love?
โจPilates at Barre-Up completely changed my mindset. As a core yogi at heart, I never really thought highly of Pilates, but now I genuinely love it. The 100s and all the core-focused exercises really amp me up and make me feel strong.
3. Whatโs a favorite song that would hype you up in every class if you heard it?
โจIโm a huge music lover, so this is a tough one! Anything from Winterโs playlist in Buti or 70s playlist instantly gets me energized some of my favorite class moments come from those playlists.
4. Whatโs something youโve learned about yourself since joining?
โจIโve learned that Iโm capable of pushing through discomfort and embracing challenges both physically and mentally. BU has helped me build endurance, confidence, and the belief that I can do hard things, even when they feel intimidating at first.
5. When youโre not taking a class, where might we find you?
โจWhen Iโm not taking a class, youโllt probably find me exploring new matcha spots, discovering dessert places (I have a serious sweet tooth), traveling, or spending time with friends. I also love trying new things whether thatโs experimenting with recipes, exploring a new art form, or learning something completely different.
6. Whatโs a fun fact or hidden talent youโd like to share with our community?
โจI love dancing (Iโm a shy dancer but trained in classical Indian dance) and sketching Iโm an art lover and tend to draw whenever inspiration strikes.
7. How has being a part of our studio/community impacted your wellness journey?
Being part of the Barre-Up community has made fitness feel sustainable and joyful instead of intimidating. The encouragement from instructors and fellow members has helped me stay consistent, feel supported, and I genuinely look forward to working out. Iโve met so many incredible people, and Iโm grateful for the warm, loving, and welcoming community. I truly look forward to ending my day at the studio with these amazing people.
Sri - thank you so much for being part of our community! We absolutely love having you!๐๐
