\"DEFINE<\/p>\n

\n

As a teacher I am there to give you the best possible workout along with making you laugh to forget about the burn. Working out is not meant to be miserable and a chore. Bring a positive attitude. We are going to have fun!\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

~ Ashley Yeater<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

FIRST IMPRESSIONS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Having never done a barre based cardio class before, I wasn\u2019t quite sure what to expect as I arrived at the Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden. <\/span>What struck me upon meeting our instructor Ashley, was that this was going to be a great experience and a workout that was focused on fun. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm for fitness is infectious. <\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S IT LIKE?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Armed with a positive attitude and a yoga mat, I was expecting the class to involve  <\/span>a combination of ballet exercises at the barre and pilates exercises on the mat. <\/span>I couldn\u2019t have been more wrong! This is a tough workout. <\/span>Designed to make you sweat and shake, Ashley\u2019s DEFINE method is sure to gain results and fast, if practiced regularly. <\/span>Expect to feel the burn as Ashley guides you through her unique sequence that is a total body workout. <\/span>This was a high tempo class from the off and we didn\u2019t stop for the full hour. <\/span>Ashley\u2019s method includes an intense sequence of squats and lunges at the barre, that is really challenging, but in a good way. <\/span>My legs were shaking by the end of this section of the class, but after overloading the muscles a welcome stretch sequence followed. <\/span>Back on the mat, don\u2019t expect to relax. <\/span>We worked our core, upper body and glutes hard with her unique take on mountain climbers, sit ups, press ups, gluteal bridges and more. <\/span>Each cardio-infused sequence was followed by stretches, which is a concept I particularly liked, allowing a brief respite between each element of the workout. Ashley\u2019s Define method is tough but fun.  <\/span>Expect to work hard, leave happy and feel that bit tighter and more toned when you wake up the following day. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Define<\/p>\n

I also had the chance to trial a new shoelace replacement by Hickies<\/a>. <\/span>I admit I was a little sceptical as I removed my laces and attached the HICKIES, which are designed to transform trainers into slip-ons, whilst guaranteeing a secure, comfortable fit. <\/span>I wasn\u2019t convinced they would stay put or offer enough support during the class, but I completely forgot I was wearing them. <\/span>My trainers were just as supportive and comfortable as with my normal laces, and I am really enjoying the convenience of a slip-on trainer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Define<\/p>\n

FINAL THOUGHTS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s Define class will make you sweat, shake, and leave you wanting more. From cardio infused sequences to hardcore ab sprints, your endurance and metabolic rate will definitely get a boost for the entire day. I enjoyed the workout and would definitely go to the class again. <\/span>I particularly liked the leg and ab sequences and was surprised at how tough I found it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s it for:<\/strong><\/span> Everyone and anyone, regardless of fitness levels or gender. Ashley\u2019s DEFINE method caters to all shapes and sizes.
\nHow much:<\/strong><\/span> \u00a310 per 1 hour session
