Walk-ins are also welcome-you can sign in on one of the three iPads stationed by the front entrance. Sign up for a Revolve class through the studio’s Web site. “I hope the studio can be a place for people to make friends and build up that community.” “There are just so many young people here who are into fitness. Until then, Garfunkel is happy with the possibilities of the Arlington location. But there are still some improvements planned for the Clarendon outpost, including the addition of audio panels to the walls to prevent the instructors’ voices from echoing and getting lost in the music. Once Revolve finds its groove, Garfunkel hopes to expand to more locations in DC and New York. After those first 30 minutes in this class, your muscles are loose and ready for the next session.” “With barre-method classes, you don’t get that cardio warmup beforehand. “As a former dancer and someone who enjoys getting a hard workout, I wanted to include both cardio and toning mixed into one class,” Phillips said afterward. The class ended with a short stretch, focusing on the triceps, quadriceps, and hip muscles. It wasn’t far into the session before there were audible groans of pain from all areas of the room (my pathetic whimpers included). Using the bike’s handlebars as the barre, we pliéd into a 90-degree-angle squat position using small plastic balls and holding lightweight dumbbells, repeating the movements until my legs wouldn’t stop shaking. Immediately after the cycling session (don’t expect much rest time), we stepped off the bikes and removed our clip-in shoes to begin the grueling barre-method section. “Right, left, right, left, right, left!” she shouted, like a drill sergeant stuck in a petite dancer’s body. Just like with most cycling instructors, Phillips pushed us to pedal hard to the beat of every song. blaring from the speakers, Phillips took us through a 35-minute cycling session. With dim lighting and artists like the Gorillaz, Mika, and M.I.A. “It’s my first time teaching this class, too.” “If this is your first time, don’t worry,” Phillips told the 15 or so participants Monday morning. The creator of all three classes is instructor Christianne Phillips, who is also a deejay and a former dancer. “You’ve got triathletes, long-distance riders, or dancers in every class, so we designed each class with that in mind.” “We know that each cyclist is different,” says the company’s president, Sylvan Garfunkel. It’s a mystery.Testing a Ballet-Inspired Workout at Go Figure in Potomac Perhaps the sale items are on sale because no one wanted to keep them, but I still don’t understand how they cost so much. They can’t actually be worth more than 5% of what you’re paying. These garments are cheap quality and the prices are clearly being marked up exorbitant amounts. Perhaps the higher end brand names are OK but don’t trust if buying the lesser known name brands. Everything looks beautiful, photographed on the models, the website looks high end and the high price points to match, which is why it feels deceiving. This is comparable to Shein but with designer price tags. I can’t understand how a costumer would pay full price and not feel like they were robbed! I would say Zara quality would have been better. The sale price was $500, which is still substantial, however the quality is APPALLING - I would not have paid more than $200 for all of it, regular price. Regular price for all would have been $1068. I’m shocked! I bought a number of items on sale, 3 skirts, 1 blouse and 2 tank tops.
