GDL Fitness Studio Spotlight: Barre Evolución
A cute little barre studio in Chapalita with not only full-body barre classes, but also a wide range of ballet, pilates, yoga, and even TRX training! This is your classic dance-fitness destination, with wonderfully choreographed classes that are thoughtfully put together and matched with the right music to really get you going.
I love Barre Evolución because even though they teach in Spanish, the instructors are extremely descriptive with their body’s and it’s easy to follow along - especially as most of the movements go to the beat.
Most of the classes are barre focused, which is a discipline that blends ballet, Pilates and yoga. Their classes focus on strength development, endurance, flexibility, toning and cardiovascular. They also have one special class per week called ‘Strong Nation’ and it’s a high-intensity cardio class. Seriously this is 45 minutes of hard-core sweat - jumping and punching all included!
Their weekly schedule is a good mix of AM + PM classes each day, and open Monday-Saturday so that you can keep in the rhythm of movement.
Whenever I’m in Chapalita - this is my top choice for group fitness classes that are fun and effective. Bonus that classes are only 150 pesos if you do pay-as-you-go, and even less if you opt for packages!
