Editor’s note: I figured it was high time to give you a little looksie into what an actual barre n9ne class looks like. My mom took these pics at the barre n9ne 60-day challenge kickoff party this past weekend – she did such a great job that I just had to show them off here. Plus, you all know by now that I’m crazy addicted to barre n9ne and would talk about it 24/7 if ya’ll would let me 😉
Enjoy!
Warming up – barre n9ne style
Those evil gray balls – the deadly shoulder series (the one I can now proudly do in it’s entirety without stopping…clearly this requires lots of concentration, hence the ultra-serious facial expression here)
Triceps – in a word: killer. Jo demonstrates it so well here. Check out those sexy arms!
At the barre (my favorite part, love-to-hate that shake!)
Plies at the barre – keep those toes up!
(editor’s note – yes there *is* a woman at the barre in a dress, she didn’t come prepared to take the demo class but wanted to get a feel for it before committing to the challenge – talk about a trooper!)
Thigh dancing – this one is must-experience barre n9ne move. By the third set, your thighs are HATING you. ❤
Smabs (that’s the technical term Jo and I made up for ‘some abs’, catchy, right?)
Whew. There’s MUCH more to it than what I’ve shown you here – this was a shortened ‘demo’ class for any barre n9ne newbies but at least now you have a feel for what it’s all about.
Kinda makes you wanna take a barre class like barre n9ne now doesn’t it?
It. Is. SO. Worth. It. 😉
P.S. Thank you a million times over for all of your super-sweet, super supportive and honest responses to my “I am not perfect” blog post. It was like breathing a huge sigh of relief to hit “publish” and to get responses that made me feel less crazy for how I was feeling at that moment in time over the weekend. So thank you, again and again and again!

Awesome – thanks so much for sharing these pictures!
I knew you’d dig the pics 😉
LOVE this post sis!! You picked some great pictures 🙂 And mom takes good ones, doesn’t she? This makes me uber excited for class tonight!!
I know – I’m already excited for tonight, despite being soooo tired from this morning’s 7 miler! woohoo!
I really do want to take this class. There is a Pure Barre studio in Atlanta. Is that the same thing?
It’s likely similar – most barre style workouts have similar themes to them though the techniques usually vary by studio. Definitely give it a shot!! You can also try a virtual barre n9ne class if you wanted to – via skype. That’s a fun option too when in-studio isn’t an option. 🙂
Ok so I have to ask where and when and how much these classes are…can’t help but ask
The pricing varies depending on how many classes you buy (one class; a 10 pack, a month unlimited, etc.). The studio is in Danvers, MA – and it is seriously the best hidden gem ever. I’m in love .
That does look and sound a lot like the Phsyique 57 workout I got to try at home. You’re right that those thigh moves are killer. And look at you and Jo so toned and sexy!!!
Yes, I’d say it’s similar to Physique57 or Core Fusion – the classes are amazing. They never cease to surprise me with how they leave me feeling afterwards – elated, on cloud n9ne (hehe), totally “worked” in the best way possible. 🙂
And um, totally blushing at that last bit, you are so cute. thank you 😉 <—me *trying* to take a compliment!
thigh dancing and bar work are my absolute nemesis but i feel so good afterwards! this was a very insightful post to get a better idea of what you’ve been blogging about. AND – i LOVE the look of determination on your faces!
seriously – it’s like ALL I can do to keep moving sometimes in that class, hence that determined look on my face, hehe 😉
i’ve always wanted to try out that class, especially if you would take it with me!!
come on up to beantown and we’ll go together!! one day?? 😉
SOOOO many times I’ve read your posts on barre and have wanted to take the class/challenge so bad. But I can’t. 😦 I’m jealous!!! The pics are fab, and you two are naturals when it comes to pics like these! I love it!!! Such beautiful ladies!
well you CAN whenever you come back up this way to visit, am I right?? In the meantime, I guess you’ll have to live vicariously through me and Jo, huh? Makes me appreciate this class/studio so much more since I have the luxury of having it nearby to me. I’m glad you loved the pics, it was such a fun post to write, as you know 😉
Fun to see “inside” of what you experience for those 60 days (+)! I keep wanting to take pictures inside the Ryders’ studio but always forget (I brought my camera Once, but it was actually for a charity even they were doing 🙂 ).
Yes! That was my goal – to finally give you guys a looksie into what this whole barre n9ne thing is REALLY like. I wish I took video, that would be even better. Next time??
ohh I’d love to see a Ryders class in action!!
You and Jo look so focused! Love it!
Ugh, thigh dancing. My least favorite part of class. But it hurts so good!
Ha, I love it – you totally know the torture that is thigh dancing, huh?? It works SO WELL though that it’s worth the five minutes of pain 😉
Wow you have me really interested, looks like a neat class. Until your blog I’d never heard of these classes. I have to add i love your workout clothes. You look super cute!
They are AWESOME classes, I’m clearly obsessed with them since I can’t stop saying that. haha 😉
Thank you – the crops are my first ever pair from Lululemon and I LOVE them. The top is from Old Navy, in case you’re wondering!
Love the pictures! You girls look amazing!

Holy mackerel you girls look AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Love the shots!!!
I was soooo bummed I couldn’t make it (work!).
We were bummed not to see you too – Tanya told us you might be stopping by, what a treat that would’ve been! Now you just have to get your butt down for a class sometime so we can meet up for real!!
