Do you know how much we love our UP bands? The answer is a lot (bold entirely necessary). To put this love/obsession/addiction into perspective, our director Sara was recently late to a meeting because she forgot her Up band and had to turn around to get it. (There was no way she was walking 20 minutes to a meeting and not logging those steps…)

So, today, when Jawbone announced that the UP Band will now sync with the most popular health and fitness apps, we did our best to conceal our excitement. (We failed.)

Among the exciting wellness apps that UP seamlessly integrates with are MyFitnessPal, Withings and MapMyFitness. To sync your UP Band with any of the available apps, click “Apps” in the left menu on the UP app and get started!

Not an UP Band addict yet? Pick one up from Bari Tribeca and brace yourself for a full-blown (healthy) obsession ($129.99).

You’ll love my class if…
You want killer toning, heart-racing sequences and like you have to peel yourself off the floor at the end of class.

My first impression of Bari was…
OW! I was initially blinded and numbed by my soreness. I was surprised that even though I was in insane muscle pain I only wanted more. When the trainers said, “Get ready, you’ll have to do this about five hours a day,” I didn’t know if I could do it. But now I can’t imagine life without Bari. We fell in love quickly.

Something you don’t know about me is…
I’m fatally allergic to milk and all milk products. Like, stop breathing allergic. Not just an achy-belly “lac-tard” as Michelle once tried to call me. I’m also obsessed with the Wizard of Oz, specifically Ruby Red Slippers.

When I need to relax, I…
Take a dance class, watch a movie, read a book, cook an elaborate meal. Sleeping on the beach is the ultimate, but I only get to do that when I’m at home in the summer.

Truth or dare?
TRUTH! Since I’ve always been the teacher’s pet and an only child, the thought of doing anything bad or wrong leaves a pit in my stomach. It’s always easier to be honest.

I’m inspired by…
Art, nature, motivation, resilience, people who makes their dreams come true. Oh yeah, and Beyonce.

Abs, arms, butt or thighs?
Butt. Always. She got a ‘donk.

I love my job because…
I love helping people achieve their goals for a healthier life. I love the feeling when work and socializing blends as one and it’s not work anymore. I believe that a good beat can always make you happier. I love to sweat.

The best advice I’ve ever received is…
Relationship advice: A serious relationship is good as long as you keep a sense of humor about it. - ER Nurse (that’s a whole other story)
Life advice: If you take care of the little things the big things will take care of themselves. - My Dad

For every extra slice of pizza and extra bowl of pasta we had this winter

For every time we slept in because it was snowing outside… and we “couldn’t find” our snowboots

For that one time (okay, twice) we spiked your coffee with rum… because it was cold outside

For every chunky sweater that allowed us to neglect our abs

For each workout we skipped because it felt like spring was never coming

For every day we said, “tomorrow I’ll get serious”

Let’s PEEL.

6 Weeks.

To a stronger body

To elevating our minds and seizing the challenge

To lifting our spirits… and our butts

To lunging low and bouncing high

To cranking the volume up higher

To sweating with a goal in mind

To getting to know your body better than ever before

To having the support of your PEEL partners-in-crime

To loving the skin you’re in

To ditching your shirt on Memorial Day weekend

To peeling away the winter blues

… and living to brag tell about it.

LET’S GO, PEELERS!

Would you think that we’re total fitness geeks if we told you that these Nike gloves are our new favorite workout accessory? (It’s fine, we are.) And we’re not above saying that these fitness gloves are the best thing to happen to our workout lives… this week.

Why we’re in love:

- Slip-proof for all of your scorpion and vesper series
- Most hygienic way to move around the props without leaving your sweat trail behind
- Avoid developing calluses on your hands from our heavier weights and U-bars
- They make you look really badass. (See: Lindsey, above.)

You can find them at Bari Tribeca, Bari SoHo and Bari Murray Hill for $15 per pair. We searched high and low for our favorite pair, but if you prefer to pick a pair up from your local sporting goods store, look for a thin and flexible material with a good amount of grip.

New York winters have their way of dragging out while simultaneously passing you by. We think the pattern goes something like: it’s cold, Halloween Hurricane Sandy, it’s cold, Thanksgiving, it’s snowing, Christmas, it’s snowing but let’s open two studios anyway, why is it snowing in March? And then, out of nowhere, it’s spring.

But, whether we were mentally prepared for it or not, spring is here. And we all know that spring really just translates to almost-summer, which means we better start mentally and physically preparing ourselves now.

Enter: BariPEEL.

What it is:

1. A 6-week workout challenge that leads up to Memorial Day Weekend
2. A pre-emptive strike against the anxiety attack you will have the weekend before Memorial Day Weekend if you don’t start shedding those winter layers now

(Curious about last year’s PEEL adventure? Check out our first ever PEEL announcement here!)

The PEEL Challenge:

• First two weeks: 4 workouts per week
• Second two weeks: 5 workouts per week
• Last two weeks: 6 workouts per week
• Complete Bari’s 5 Day Detox… twice! (Bari Food Society is preparing all detox meals for pick-up at Bari!)
• Get an UP band (optional, but highly recommended) to track and achieve daily movement goals outside of the classroom.
• Healthy, unprocessed eating for the full six weeks (don’t worry, we’ll give you a cheat sheet)
• More sweat than you knew your body could produce, helped along by outdoor workouts!
• No complaining. It’s go time every single day.

How it works:

• We’ll kick BariPEEL off with Bari’s 5 Day Detox on April 15th, and it will wrap on May 25th.
• The 6-week program is designed to be completed in full; this is the only way we can guarantee you results. We know committing to being healthy for six weeks isn’t easy; but it is completely necessary if you want to see changes in your body.
• That said, we know that life exists outside of Bari. Because of this, if you can’t commit to all six weekend events, you can opt-out of the ones that don’t work for you.
• BariPEEL Participation cost: $60; all events (detox, ordering food, master classes, nutrition sessions and cooking lesson) are priced a la carte

What you get:

1. Results. If you can give us your commitment and dedication for six weeks, we give you our word that we can deliver results.
2. Unparalleled motivation from your fellow PEEL participants; you will quickly become each other’s support systems, accountability, inspiration, sweat partners in crime and new best friends
3. Virtual communication with and support from your PEEL team via the UP band; this has been known to foster a little friendly competition, too!
4. Weekly workout prescriptions
5. We’ll start and end PEEL with the 5 Day Detox, and you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to order your detox meals from Bari Food Society
6. 90-minute master classes
7. Group nutritional counseling
8. Healthy grilling lesson with Bari Food Society’s chef
9. Weigh in and measurements every two weeks to track progress
10. When all is said and done, a #BariBODY

A fitness studio and wellness start-up, Bari opened its doors in TriBeCa in 2011. We not only know movement, we are a movement. Our fitness formula and lifestyle brand have been born and are now ready to grow and expand.

OUR TRIBE
Family as a value has infiltrated who we are as a company and community. We thrive when we are surrounded by people who challenge mediocrity and celebrate life beyond exercise: overall health and diet, art and music. The Tribe is our family, and we take pride not only in one another, but in the greater close-knit community we’ve created.

We recognize that an art-inspired, multifaceted work environment is a privilege; one that is only possible because we work passionately and strategically every single day. Our team is hard-working and dedicated to the growth of the company, from the creation of ideas to the labor of seeing it through to reality. We’re tough but compassionate, client-focused and genuine in our approach. We are leaders: people who live and breathe the philosophy that we so passionately embody. We are here to motivate, empower and instill a high level of commitment in our clients.

We consume all that Bari has to offer. Our team IS Bari, and we love it.

TRAINERS
At Bari we aren’t simply looking for instructors to memorize and teach a series of workouts. Our goal is not just to shape our client’s body (although we do) but also their mind (how they think about and approach working out). In this way, by reaching their fitness goals our clients are also improving their overall quality of life.

A Bari trainer is a role model to every person who walks through the front door of our studio.

WHO ARE YOU?
You’re athletic
You’re healthy- physically, emotionally and mentally
You’re driven, committed and passionate
You love the arts
You are obsessed with music
You’re a people person
You’re not perfect… but you love when things are
You’ll go through the extensive Bari Method training… and live to talk about it
