I first visited NRG Barrebody in February 2019<\/a>, and we know how much life has changed since then. When Nathalie invited me to a class at her brand new studio I jumped at the chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new venue for Barrebody<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On a rainy, dark October morning I set off to my 9am Barre class. This is an achievement in itself for me as I\u2019m not an \u2018early bird\u2019 by any stretch! Of course it was all made worthwhile when I arrived at \u2018The Form Room\u2019 in Kentish Town, the new venue of Nathalie\u2019s wonderful classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my first visit to NRG Barrebody I was struck by Nathalie\u2019s warm yet professional nature. Absolutely nothing has changed about that. I was greeted with a smile, a reassuring temperature check, hand sanitiser and took the offer of washing my hands too. All very welcome and necessary measures in the current environment!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular\u2019s arrived, casting their raincoats and umbrellas to the cloakroom. We (5 of us) were safely distanced from one another at the barre in the beautiful studio. High ceilings let the bright skies shine in as the rain passed. Indoor plants and minimalist d\u00e9cor provided a calm and cool place to get to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nathalie put us through our paces for the full 45 minutes. Barre work started with isolated moves using each side of the body in turn. We then finished with pulse movements to reach the all-important burn!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always Nathalie was on hand to provide form corrections and technique prompts. On top of this, she is quite an inspiration to keep you working hard as you see her execute the demonstration with pure technical brilliance and skill. The music, direction and motivation of others kept me moving. I felt entirely comfortable with the Covid-19 precautions in place to keep us protected.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a blast on the mats with resistance bands to work the core, the class finished with a very welcome stretch. We cleaned down our mats and barre with individual bottles of disinfectant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final thoughts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As we bid farewell and \u2018see you next time\u2019 Nathalie made sure the journey was worthwhile to us all. I can safely say I left feeling so much more energised than when I arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
