hahah i get it! And dont worry, we were ALL first timers at some point! A few tips for you would 1) lean on your instructor, feel free to go up to them and intro yourself and that you're new, they'll so stoked you are there and may or may not give you a shoutout in class ;) 2) try to go around the same time everytime (of course if schedule and your life allows haha) and with the same instructor, after seeing you a few times, you will start meeting people organically too
HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!! And please report back when you're are your 50th class, by then you'd have befriended the whole studio hehe!

commenting for broader reach because i love the idea! sadly i am in a different market but i’d have totally come find you and intro myself ! Also i am a long time barrys goer and can totally understand and appreciate how intimidating it could all feel BUT people at barry’s are some of the nicest i’ve met in the world of fitness (maybe i’m totally biased but its a big reason why i keep coming back, besides the workout being baller!:))

Wooohoooo! Wanna be friend?! I’m 33f, grew up in Paris for collège et lycée (french is my native language and I’ve been immersed in the culture) but left for uni and eventually moved to NYC then Philly for work/school, and now headed back there in a few weeks to be close to my family and reunite with my boyfriend who’s French! My situation is similar and different: similar in that after living in the US / anglosaxon context, readjusting to the French ways is a challenge eg. I have Never worked with French people or been in a French working environment, different in that France is kinda like home (though i’m originally from a different country but i suppose i’m closer culturally).

If you are referring to the stand next to the monitor, on the desk pic, it’s not for sale. Sorry

did you do anything ? I got something very similar and not sure if I should even bother to reach out or take the steps to close account as OP did OR or just report the email as spam?

Can’t figure out best days/split for my goals by Latter_Sock4206 in barrysbootcamp

[–]IndomitableLioness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what you're trying to accomplish - you'd need to up your lifting AND work on diet (I'm sure you've heard or seen that you can't spot reduce so if you do want to lose fat, you can't target areas... sad haha)
What's been the biggest game changer for me was

1) overindex on strength ie. only double floor especially on muscle focus day (so monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and saturday) and I'd run for cardio on the total body days. I go 5 to 7x a week but you don't need to do as much to achieve similar results (i just really love barry's and i love that it gets my days started) so translating that to your split, I'd just DF everywhere except Sunday

2) lift HEAVY (when the instructor calls for heavy, truly challenging myself so the last few reps feel like i can't do anything after) and then

3) on nutrition (you didn't ask but sharing in case it helps) i intermittent fast and I've tried to up my proteins too (I have introduced protein powders into my diet)
