Fitness Comments Off on Woman bonds with family over fitness instead of food at The Barre Code – Omaha World-Herald

Taylor Giroux used to meet up with her family at restaurants to catch up. But now, they meet at the gym and catch up while working out.

Thats been a great alternative to sitting around and snacking, Giroux said.

Working out has been good for socializing, but it also got Giroux back on track toward a healthy lifestyle.

Q: When did you start working out and why?

A: I came to a couple free classes when (The Barre Code) first opened and again at the end of April. Ive been here ever since. It hooked me. Its a welcoming environment and they motivate you in what works best for you. It just makes you feel good and I wanted to get into a healthy lifestyle.

Q: Describe your workouts. How many days per week do you exercise?

A: The one thing I really love about the Barre is theres so many different opportunities and classes to take. I try to come to six or seven classes a week. Tonight we did two 50-minute classes back-to-back. Classes range from cardio and high intensity interval training to strength and stretching. The original Barre includes strength training and those little movements that really get you shaking.

Q: What has been your biggest accomplishment?

A: Being stronger. Im not as nervous coming here because Im like, OK. I can do this. The motivating staff and the friendly faces when you walk in the door have been awesome. Everyone in the gym is motivating you.

Q: What has been the toughest hurdle and how did you overcome it?

A: Staying consistent. What I like about this is, you sign up for (classes), and that holds you accountable. Im so thankful I have my family, too. That keeps me motivated to come. I have that accountability that Ive already signed up for the class.

Q: What helps you stay on track?

A: I got married last summer so I was really into fitness to get ready for the wedding. After the wedding, I got into married life and got off the fitness track. The Barre Code has motivated me to pick that fitness routine back up. I love how you feel better and your mood is changed.

Q: What is your gym pet peeve?

A: People who think theyre really, really good. I dont like when theyre too serious, because I like to have fun.

Q: What do you do when you arent in the gym?

A: I spend time with my husband, walk our new puppy, go shopping and all the girly things. I like being with family and friends.

Q: What is the piece of equipment, supplement, clothing, etc., that you cant live without?

A: I like the bright workout clothes and the fun socks that The Barre Code has. If you have something fun to wear, its motivating to get into the gym.

Q: What advice would you give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?

A: Stick with it. Have fun. Try your best. Try all the different classes because theres one youll like.
