Client Feature - Meet Susan!
What are the biggest changes you've seen in yourself? 
My legs and arms (and maybe more) have become a different shape, with longer, leaner muscles. And I (almost) don't mind being seen in a bathing suit or a sleeveless dress!

What's your favorite Pure Barre exercise? 
Anything with leg extensions/points and reaching makes me happy. The more like ballet and pilates, the better!

What's your favorite part about Pure Barre?
I have a seriously limited range of motion in my left knee and right shoulder. I have to modify. But I am stronger and more balanced from all this work. I love all the specific corrections and descriptions of "how to."

Who/What got you initially started with Pure Barre?
I left my job at the JCCSF and lost my fitness club membership, pilates classes, and personal trainer. I was looking for the next exercise studio or gym to join that would work with my new schedule and was super convenient. I stumbled across the West Portal Pure Barre studio at the right moment and saw the sign out front with the promotion: an unlimited month for $99. That was in August 2014. I got hooked. 

What is your biggest Pure Barre accomplishment to date?
500 classes. And being able to do things with my body now that I didn't think I could ever do.
 
If you could have any super power what would it be?
Flying, of course.

Fun fact about yourself.
Over the course of the last year,   I've shifted my focus to become a full-time artist. I do figurative drawing and painting from live models on an iPad including textiles (www.cherrypits.net). I grew up in an art school that was our family business, but I'd gotten sidetracked in a long career as a creative director in marketing communications and branding. I also took just about every kind of exercise class available. Since I started Pure Barre it has become my primary form of exercise, besides walking. It is an important part of my daily structure, starting most days off with a Barre class at 8:30. Making art full-time and taking Barre classes are both oddly and perfectly intertwined.
