The other day I was looking into classes at Barre Works when an email from Chobani popped into my inbox.
I was invited to spend a night at Barre Works with Chobani for a Bootcamp workout.
It felt meat to be, especially after the wonderful evening I had with them last time.
So last night I wiggled into my best spandex and headed up to Queen Street West to join a big group of bloggers for a serious ass kicking.
I was so happy to find Morgan was there. We teamed up side by side at the bar and prepared ourselves for what was ahead of us.
Morgan hasn’t been able to work out for weeks due to a concussion, and I’ve barely worked out in months due to drinking wine and getting married in France. I know, I know, I feel bad for me too.
The trainer they brought over from New York was awesome. She trains athletes, is a fitness competitor, and was full of amazing energy.
She didn’t let me get away with slacking on any moves and was so sweet that I couldn’t hate her for it.
It was not a traditional Barre workout, but boy did we get our sweat on.
I was pretty proud of all of us by the end of it.
We were rewarded with a decadent parfait bar, as well as smoothies and other hors d’oeuvres featuring Chobani.
Since Chobani greek yogurt is the perfect post-workout snack (right ratio of protein to carbs, as explained by the trainer), I fuelled up on a jar topped with berries, dates and walnuts. Fine, two jars. And one to take home.
As Morgan said “We shut dow the CHO bar.”
The highlight of the night was standing around talking with Lindsay from Chobani, Morgan, Lindsey from Happy or Hungry, and Stephanie.
These women are tons of fun and all seem to love food just as much as I do.
May I suggest a yogurt parfait date some weekend ladies?
I left with a generous goodie bag, a big smile on my face, and a big jar of yogurt in my purse.

oh now that is a fun time! love your face. And CHO bar. haha. Good one Morgan!
Love your face! Wish you were in Toronto
Ohh yes you may suggest a yogurt parfait date. Possibly with booze… I am already excited.
I loved hanging out with you girls! Such a fun night. And such a serious ass-kicking. I can barely walk today.
I like the way you think
I’m with Lindsey. Drinks, please!
So lovely to see you again, even if it meant participating in a mutual ass-kicking. Speaking of ass, mine still hurts. Youch!
Deal! I just tried a proper barre class there this week – highly recommended!
i have a voucher for pure barre to try but i have been on meds lately and too sick to do it! hopefully will be able to try it soon
Since this class was more of a Bootcamp I’m looking forward to trying more of a barre class soon too!
That looks like so much fun! Makes me miss teaching barre. Such an awesome workout.
Glad you had a blast, love.
That’s so cool you used to teach barre! What’s the training like?
It was fairly intense but I loved it. I was trained in a specific barre method called Mind Body Barre – it combines strength, yoga, pilates, barre, meditation, and reiki. So it’s really unique and life changing! It’s really different from other barre training camps so I can’t attest to the others but it was awesome.
I imagine you were an amazing teacher with your incredible energy! I love the sound of Mind Body Barre!
Love this!! Looks like you all had a wonderful time, and man.. how do you all look SO great after working out!? SO BUMMED I couldn’t make it.. being stuck in Ottawa and all. I’m determined not to miss the next one!
So sad you couldn’t make it! I was looking out for you! Hopefully next time
Lori and I have a Barre class on our lists to do one day! Maybe we can fly up and do it with you
You look great G!
That would be amazing! I cannot wait for you guys to visit – I have a whole mental list of places to take you!
that looks like so much fun!! i am 100% uncoordinated, but I think it would fun to try, anyhow! {ps- I’m back in the provence, FINALLY- I’d love to see you lady!! xo}
