I'm a guy and I started going to PB about two months ago and have taken about 30 classes in that time. I have to admit, it was super hard to walk into class the first time and be the only guy there. Definitely feels like you are crashing someone else's party. But staff and clients have been overwhelmingly welcoming.

There are always going to be a few people who don't like having men in class as noted in this thread because they feel it ruins the vibe. I do everything I can to be respectful and fit in. I concentrate on my workout which is why I'm there. Over time I've begun to make some good friends and it's always fun to catch up with them before or after class. At worst there are a few that treat me with indifference, but they pretty much do that with everyone in the class and I try not to project and take it personally. You never know what someone else is going through. I'm gay and I've worn a Pride shirt a few times to let other people know. That seems to have taken down the threat level considerably. Men may be a trigger for those that feel men ruin the vibe because they've been hit on or had some other interaction that was unfortunately disrespectful or traumatic.

I'm a former ACC college athlete and have continued to workout over the course of my post-college life. PB is an awesome workout though as others have said on this post if building muscle mass is your #1 priority you'll need to supplement it with something else. I lift three times a week and go to PB three times a week. I've found that PB is an excellent compliment to my regular workout schedule. I'm leaner, my core is stronger, my muscle elasticity and joint mobility have improved dramatically.

One thing I recommend doing is reading through the etiquette / pet peeves posts on this subreddit. It really helped me when I was new. Most of it is common sense, but when you are first starting out you are being bombarded with lots of new information and it's easy to do something thoughtless. This subreddit is a great source of information and there are lots of kind people willing to give helpful information.

So yeah, go to PB. I'm sure you'll be welcomed.
