I have been doing barre for 9 years I brought my husband to class had to leave because he wanted to vomit. These guys are troopers.

”Let’s go to a bar” lol! This was hilarious

[janellelyn]

It's always the day after that gets me.

[Soliloquy]

Love it!!! I love barre. It looks easy but no way, it's incredibly challenging.

[paigeanderson]

Pure Barre is no joke. It's one of the hardest workouts I've ever experienced

[mermaidopulence]

I just love when guys step in our shoes for a bit to see what we do

[same]

Kudos to the guys for trying it. Barre IS hard!

[celloharper]

I like how he said lets go to a bar in the end. Those workouts are not easy. :-)

[salanee]

it needs practise like other workouts (I knew one bodybilder who couldn't survived even modified Pilates but in the same time I couldn't weight the same amount as he)

I just started Pure Barre last week, and it’s the real deal! So challenging but so much fun

[claudettejohnson]

The video I really want to see if them the next day and day after sitting down, getting out of bed and getting out of a car.

[susanfrikken-yaharatherapy]

I'm laughing ...thank you! Barre is so hard!

[truemickiefan]

Im a boy and I like zumba aerobics these are girly but I still enjoy them

[jgfffffffhjiufdddj]

My first barre class i almost worked out!!! BUT then i kept going and when it was over i was like ohhhh ya know that wasnt THAT BAD

[CookingLessonsforDad]

That looks fun but I do not think I would look any more graceful than those men.

[SophisticatedDogCat]

I like that they take these soft-bodied dudes to use as an example. These guys don’t look like they could even run a mile.

The idea that certain activities are inherently gendered—like ballet for females and football for males—reinforces outdated stereotypes and is sexist.

In the ballet and dance world, there are numerous examples of famous & amazing male dancers. These dancers are strong, athletic, flexible, and highly skilled at what they do. The assumption that ballet is not suitable for males is both misguided and dismissive of this physically demanding sport.

These stereotypes need to be challenged by recognizing that both men and women are capable of excelling in any field, given the opportunity and training. The problem often lies in societal expectations and the early conditioning that steers boys and girls toward specific activities, rather than in any inherent inability based on gender.

Lol, good going guys, you should keep going, get in shape and feel amazing...

[deecabrera]

This is my reality at pure Barre. They go fast even for classic. I guess if I attend enough classes I can get in tuned. It is a hard class if you are out of shape trying to get in shape.

not being mean but i think any workout you guys would have done would have resulted in the same result. Since you guys don't workout regularly any workout will be the same result
