Viena didžiausių privalumų dirbant fitneso redaktoriumi Niujorke – neskaitant visų baltymų miltelių ir mažai angliavandenių turinčių užkandžių – yra galimybė išbandyti naujus kūno rengybos užsiėmimus, kol jie tampa įprasti. Šiuo atveju turėjau išbandyti naują iššokantįjį langą iš Baris vadinamas „Barry's Ride“, kuris šiuo metu pasiekiamas tik Los Andžele ir Niujorke.
A traditional Barry's class mixes HIIT-style cardio on a treadmill in the form of jogging, running, and sprinting intervals with strength training on the floor, and usually includes four 15-minute blocks. For Barry's Ride, the cardio portion is performed on a stationary indoor cycling bike, not a treadmill, and each block is about 30 minutes. I already enjoy doing mixed-format treadmill classes, such as Orangetheory fitnesas ir tradicinės Barry's pamokos, bet važinėjimas dviračiu yra mano mėgstamiausia kardio treniruotės forma. Taigi, kai „Barry's“ paskelbė, kad paleidžia „Barry's Ride“, nekantravau jį patikrinti. Tarkime, aš eisiu taip dažnai, kaip galėsiu, kol dar būsiu Niujorke.
Kas yra Barry's Ride?
The 50- to 60-minute workout class is a mix of high-intensity indoor cycling and traditional floor work that Barry's is known for (heavy weights, resistance bands, bodyweight work, etc.). Essentially, Barry's replaced the treadmills with indoor cycling bikes. Barry's Ride is for people who like the HIIT-style cardio traditional Barry's classes offer, but want to do something more low-impact than running.
Unlike traditional Barry's classes, in which the two different groups (the floor group and the treadmill group) are working out simultaneously while the instructor goes back and forth between the two, everyone is working in the same section in unison during Barry's Ride. You start out on the bikes for about 25-30 minutes, then move to the floor for the remaining 25-30 minutes. Since there's only one transition in the class, you can keep all your stuff in one place, like under your bench (no one will be there in the meantime!); the number you've been assigned on the bike corresponds with the bench you will move to to do floor work. You also get two minutes during the transition, which gives you time to swap your cycling shoes for your training sneakers.
Kaip atrodo Barry's Ride klasė?
I was already excited to take this class because it pairs my two favorite workouts: indoor cycling and strength training with weights. When Barry's invited me to try it out, I immediately signed up for Piadabo verksmai class. Keoni is not only my favorite Barry's instructor at my home studio on the UES — I love his motivating, yet no-nonsense approach — he also has experience as a SoulCycle instructor years ago, so I knew the cycling portion would be legit.
Since you don't share benches with other members at Barry's Ride, we were instructed to grab the weights for the workout and leave them on our benches for when we move to the floor portion (this ended up making the transition between the bikes and floor much smoother and quicker). The whole class started on the bikes, and as someone who regularly takes hard 45- to 60-minute indoor cycling classes, I thought 25 minutes would be a piece of cake. Wrong: it was chock-full of nonstop resistance and speed intervals, so you definitely got the most bang for your buck (and Keoni knows how to keep it challenging!). The instructor rode with us on the bikes the whole time, which I liked; it made it feel like we were all in this together. Keoni told me after class that he's better able to gauge what's physically possible for people on the bikes if he's riding with us.
Važiavimas dviračiu man labai priminė „SoulCycle“: grojaraštis įdomus, važiuoji pagal muzikos ritmą ir yra šiek tiek choreografijos (taip, įskaitant tapus). Bet man tai patiko labiau nei „Soul“, nes dviračiai turi ekraną, kuris seka jūsų apsisukimus, o jūsų instruktorius suteikia jums galimybę išlikti. Be pasipriešinimo rankenėlės, jame taip pat yra sprinto perjungiklis, todėl jūs tikrai galite gerokai padidinti pasipriešinimą. Kaip ir Barry's bėgimo takelių klasėse, yra įvairių įgūdžių lygių pasirinkimų: du pasukimai ant pasipriešinimo rankenėlės pradedantiesiems, trys vidutinio lygio, keturi pažengusiems ir t.
So yes, I was sweaty and exhausted after the first 25 minutes, but I was still energized to take on the floor portion. I took a Chest, Back, and Abs class, and we did a lot of nonstop reps with one heavy weight: single-arm hanteliu krūtinės spaudimas , overhead triceps extensions , and renegade rows , to name a few. I was dripping sweat the entire time, and with so many planks and plank variations (and holds!), Keoni definitely tested my patience. But like he said in class, he wants to make sure people don't waste their money.
Since I fell off a treadmill at Barry's nearly two years ago and haven't fully emotionally recovered (I'm still scared to run above a 7.5 on any treadmill), the Barry's Ride class format is perfect for me. I am counting down the days until I can come back.
Ką turėčiau dėvėti Barry's Ride?
You should definitely wear something you can comfortably sweat in for an hour, and like you would wear to any indoor cycling class . Think: supportive sports bra, sweat-wicking tops, and fitted leggings; if you wear long, flowy pants or capris, it might interfere with the mechanics of the bike. This outfit will also work for the floor, but you might want to make sure your sports bra is supportive enough to handle plyos — burpees aren't out of the question.
Jei turite savo dviratininko batus, galite atsivežti; Barry's dviračiai palaiko tik SPD klipus (ne Delta). Tiesiog būtinai atsineškite ant grindų treniruočių sportbačius, kurie palaikys jus treniruotės metu. Perėjimo metu turite maždaug dvi minutes pakeisti batus. „Barry's Ride“ siūlo išsinuomoti „Shimano“ batus, kurie turi įdubą ir guminį padą, todėl juos galima naudoti ir važiuojant dviračiu, ir ant grindų. Batų nuoma kainuoja 3 USD.
Bring a water bottle (trust me, you'll need it), and Barry's has free towels to mop up all the sweat you'll inevitably collect on your face and arms. We got a nice little surprise at the end with cold eucalyptus towels after class.
Kur galiu važiuoti Barry's?
Šiuo metu „Barry's Ride“ yra tik iššokantis langas dviejose vietose: vienoje Los Andžele ir kitoje Niujorke. Niujorke jis yra greta Chelsea Barry vietos (135 W. 20th St.); tiesiog eikite pro pagrindinį įėjimą ir jie nukreips jus į studiją apačioje. Los Andžele jis yra šalia esamos Venecijos studijos (1440 Lincoln Blvd., Venecija). Užsiėmimai vyksta dabar iki kovo 20 d.; patikrinkite Venecijos tvarkaraštis čia ir „Chelsea“ tvarkaraštis čia . Kalbant apie tai, ar tai tęsis po kovo mėn., Barry's atstovas man pasakė: „Džiaugiamės galėdami išgirsti, kaip bendruomenė reaguos, ir mes įvertinsime tolesnius veiksmus“. Laikydami kumščius, kad važiuotumėte visus metus!
Each class has 24 bikes and corresponding floor spots. But since the whole class does the same workout at the same time, there are only 24 spots in each class. With so few slots, Barry's Ride will book up a lot quicker than the traditional Barry's classes, which have up to 50 (or more) spots.
Kiek kainuoja „Barry's Ride“?
Baris Ride costs the same amount as a traditional Barry's class : $30 a class in LA and $38 a class in NY with packages available. If you previously bought a Barry's class package, those classes are still good for booking a Ride class. Yes, a Barry's Ride class is an investment, but if you like high-intensity cardio with challenging strength training, this is the class for you. And if you really want to test your limits, take Keoni's class: he'll make sure you get every penny's worth.
