Man, if I wasn’t obsessed with you before, I sure am now. After spending the last two weeks with the Newport Beach tribe and the last two and a half years with Tribeca and then Summit, there is one thing I know for sure: bari tribers are bosses.

You people continue to impress me, no matter on which coast you choose to sweat. In fact, you’re so eerily similar that I came up with what I think are the 20 most standout qualities of our tribers coast to coast:

1. you live to sweat: No matter what coast I’m on, I’ve noticed something. You all live with a pool of sweat underneath you. I like this about you, tribe.
2. you have the best taste in bras: Seriously, can I borrow some of those bad boys? The straps! The colors! You people are so fresh.
3. you have the best form: No joke, I’ve seen a lot of fitness fails in my life, but not with you. Even if you don’t start class perfectly, you relentlessly work toward it. Do you know how rare this is?! Damn.
4. you get it: You know why you get sweaty day after day. You understand why you work hard. You don’t just do it for that sick six pack, but for brain and heart benefits, stronger functional movements and to improve your muscle imbalances. In other words, you’re smartypants.
5. you’re big picture people: You don’t look at your lives in small and simple terms. You’ve got big plans, and you know where you’re headed. bari is just one element in helping you get there.
6. you want it all, so you have it all: And you’re strategic about it. You know when you need to let go in one area so you can push in another. You do it in class, and you do it in life.
7. you’re ahead of the trend: I swear I learn about all the cool new gadgets, fashion trends and best new TV shows from you people. You’re a walking pop culture encyclopedia. Thanks for that.
8. you don’t settle: You know what you want in your life and at the studio and you go after it like nobody’s biz.
9. you have a lot of love to give: Wow, you make a girl feel so loved. You are so open and compassionate. You always have a smile and a kind word. It’s kinda weird. But please don’t stop.
10. you know your bodies: You’re smart, and you listen to what your body is telling you. You work through injuries and push yourself when you know you’re capable of more. It’s the ultimate form of self-help.
11. you value quality above all else: You smell bullshit a mile away and want only the best. I’m with you.
12. you care about your community: You may not know everyone around you, but you’ll embrace everyone around you. Finding your bari tribe has been a huge part of your journey to a healthier life.
13. you’re real: Like for real for real. And I love it.
14. you have some sweet moves: Why you gotta look so good?! You people can dance and move and even make weighted arms look funky fresh. Good on ya.
15. your workout pants are on point: Seriously I need to rummage through all of your closets.
16. you can out-plank all of your friends: Not that you would… But maybe you would…
17. you can’t keep bari a secret: You wish you could, but it’s just too good. You do private workouts with your friends, you round up your hubbies for a bounce throwdown, you gift classes to your family. And then you get to show off how strong you are ;).
18. you own your shit: You know what you need to work on and you get to work. Easy as that.
19. you don’t quit: I see you pushing yourself, and I see you choosing to stay in each tough moment. And you bring that to your life outside of the studio. You’re ballers.
20. you’re fearless: You try new classes, new trainers, new moves. You’re not afraid because you know what you’re capable of. And that is completely inspiring.
