GBBest virtual workout classes!! I started with Andrea when she had her cute studio in Walnut Creek. She is so kind, caring, and extremely welcoming. Now about the the workout. As a bystander, it looked like it wasn't going to be that hard but man...I WAS WRONG. Her workout caters to ALL LEVELS of fitness and makes you embrace the shake of muscles that you didn't know could shake. I took a really long break from Openbarre, and came back when Andrea went FULLY VIRTUAL. This became such a great option for me as it gave me no excuse since I could do the workouts at home. You can do live classes via Zoom, which is awesome if you want a sense of community OR you could do it whenever you want to and watch a pre-recorded one. Andrea ALWAYS uploads new videos weekly, so don't think you're going to have to watch the same videos over and over again. Also, she sprinkles in challenges throughout the year that really helps you create a habit of working out, if you didn't have one already. Her monthly rates are reasonable, so what are you waiting for!?!?! Join openbarre!

GBBest Workout, so personalized & fun! Andrea is amazing, I have known her since she ran an in-person studio many years ago where I used to live. I rejoined her online studio earlier this year, and its still the best workout ever. I tried a few other programs without the same results, and you can't beat how personalized it is, she sends emails and keeps us updated on instagram, and always answers when I have questions. She's the real deal, and she knows her stuff! I love the barre classes which are low impact but also so challenging, but that she also offers strength classes, which are so effective for all of my goals (weight loss, getting stronger and feeling great!) Andrea always offers really good modifications to either make the workout easier or harder depending on where you're at so its great for all levels. Go join a class or a workout challenge at Open Barre, you won't regret it!

GBConsistently great workout! I went to OB classes in person back in the day but moved out of state and cancelled my membership as a result. I tried other workouts for ~1 year and never felt like I was getting out of them what I put in. I had been considering getting back into Andrea's classes for awhile but always felt like in person classes help keep me accountable. After some internal back and forth, I decided to go for it and give it a try. I'm just over a month or two in and couldn't be happier! The strength classes are killer and Andrea's barre classes have always been a great workout. I haven't had any accountability issues because I truly look forward to each new workout that is uploaded. The addition of the strength classes compliment the barre classes so well. I find that I am feeling so much more connected in my workouts. Andrea spent time suggesting a workout schedule that best fit what I was looking for and I haven't looked back since!

GBOpen Barre is my favorite workout! I've had the pleasure of being part of Andrea's Open Barre classes for several years, and it's been an incredible fitness journey! Andrea's science-based system, which incorporates a variety of class types targeting different muscle groups, sets these workouts apart. One aspect I truly appreciate is modifications and variations options that Andrea provides during workouts. During my pregnancy and postpartum periods, it was a lifesaver, ensuring I could perform them safely. Her clear explanations of proper exercise techniques and the muscles each routine targets make her classes accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level. The classes strike a balance between challenging and enjoyable. Andrea provides options for adjusting intensity using props and modifications, and she explains these choices clearly. This flexibility makes the classes suitable for individuals of any fitness level, and progress is inevitable if you stick to the routine. I also took on a 6-week workout challenge with Andrea, as I needed some help into getting back to workout routing safely after I had my baby. Her personalized guidance and schedule were instrumental in improving my body composition and strength significantly. If you're in search of safe, fun, and effective workouts, Open Barre with Andrea is the perfect match for you. Don't hesitate to give it a try; you won't be disappointed!

GBBetter than other virtual classes I like the options for modifying, which is usually what is lacking in a virtual class. The options make the class feel personalized. Also I like how you can save the classes that work best for you and redo them.
