Barre Express

Alkalign Studios Menlo Park + Los Altos | Barre Fitness | Cardio Align

As a Barre Express Instructor, I am often asked about the Express class and the question I most commonly hear is “Will I still get a quality workout in?”.  The answer is YES!

 

Barre Express is 45 solid minutes of strength building exercises, stretching to enhance flexibility and postural alignment. In Express you will achieve a total body workout in under an hour. Wouldn’t it be nice to shorten other activities and still get the same results? In our Express class you can have your cake and eat it too thigh work and seat work too. You can have your abdominal and upper body work as well.

 

The Barre Express class follows the same format as our traditional Barre Align class. However, Express offers faster-paced transitions and speedier set ups so you can get into position quicker and stay there longer. It is especially important to stay focused and engaged in Barre Express so you can maximize each minute of class. Our instructors are there to guide you, support you, and keep your body in a healthy position, but only you can stay present and push yourself forward.
Our Barre Express classes are conveniently scheduled in the early morning, during the lunch hour and in the evenings. Grab one of our healthy food options on the way out and in less than an hour you have strengthened + nourished your mind, body and soul.

It Doesn't Have to Hurt to Work

A NEW, 2-week FREE program we are offering to any and all who want to get off the hamster wheel and try something that 1) works and 2) you will enjoy in the process. No more beating yourself up and spiraling the shame drain thinking you have to do more and be more. We embrace a philosophy that it doesn’t have to hurt to work. The extremes aren’t sustainable. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your body. Slow, steady and sane wins the race of life. And we are here to help you along the way.

Hi! I’m Erin and my passion in life is helping others feel better by helping them get out of their own head. So much of our relationship to food and fitness is a reflection of deeply rooted beliefs that were imprinted on us at a very early age. These beliefs drive all sorts of behaviors, many of which are not good for our physical or mental health. I know this first-hand. As a former calorie-counting cardio queen I played right into all the toxic messages about what it meant to be “healthy”. That all changed when I hit rock bottom. Since leaving my corporate career in 2009 I have been fully committed to shifting the narrative and helping people experience better physical health by unpacking unhealthy beliefs. My biggest inspiration are my two young daughters, who I hope to raise in a household that openly illuminates and addresses the misinformation instead of adopting it.
