Working out at Barry’s Bootcamp via ClassPass

Posted on August 10, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Barry’s Bootcamp, ClassPass, Sherman Oaks fitness studio | Leave a Comment

The following post contains affiliate links. All opinions are 100% my own. A couple of weeks ago, I took my very first class at Barry’s Bootcamp in Sherman Oaks. I’ve taken bootcamp classes before but not at this fitness studio. I had heard some interesting things about Barry’s, so I thought, why not give it a try! Taking classes at Barry’s Bootcamp (or any other studio in LA) has never been easier because I booked my class through … [Read more...]

Sandbox Fitness: Come Exercise on the Beach in Sherman Oaks!

Posted on July 30, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Minna Herskowitz, Sandbox Fitness, Sherman Oaks, Stacey Melman, Surfset, TRX, yoga | Leave a Comment

Just last week I was invited to attend classes at Sandbox Fitness in Sherman Oaks. This studio is located on Ventura Blvd, near Woodman Avenue. When you first walk inside the studio, you’ll notice right away the beach-like vibe. Instantly I felt calmer, as being near the ocean always makes me feel more relaxed & centered (even in a faux one such as this).  :) All of the classes are taught in the sandbox. The sand comes from Cal … [Read more...]

I tried out Pure Barre in Woodland Hills a couple of times earlier this month.

So SFV followers, please meet Marni Rosenthal Chaikin, the … [Read more...]

Pure Barre – Fitness Studio Review

Posted on July 17, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: barre fitness class, ClassPass, Pure Barre, Woodland Hills | Leave a Comment

As you can probably tell, I am addicted to group fitness classes. While I enjoy doing my usual cycle class or TRX class at my local YMCA, sometimes you just have to change up your routine. So a few weeks ago, I decided to try out Pure Barre in Woodland Hills. Mind you, this was the first class that I took after being back from a 2 week vacation to Utah & Arizona. So I was a little apprehensive about taking it. The class was taught by … [Read more...]
