Meet one of our new teachers who joined us in 2020! Amberlynn is now teaching Matt and Barre in-studio and online. I'm not a dancer. I'm not an athlete. I almost literally have two left feet. But what I am is determined to do my best. I've been taking barre at various studios and in wildly different styles nationwide since 2017. What attracted me to it was that I was being given instruction rather than left to my own devices and that I felt safe and could build my confidence.... I was never much of a "gym rat" or someone that worked out regularly. I would exercise consistently for a couple weeks and then gradually have "things come up" and I would stop. Barre, especially here at the Absolute Pilates studios, creates an environment of friendship, energy, and motivation. You're not alone in shaking through that plank - I'm here with you! How did I get started: After a million years, I finally finished my undergrad in 2019 while working fulltime and I was looking for something to fill the gap when I'm not at work. I tried going to yoga, but I wasn't very flexible and felt weird among all these human rubber bands around me. Tried to get into cross-stitch....uh, let's just say pointy things aren't my forte. Got bored of baking within a week. Then in the winter time, I was Googling barre in Harrisburg and landed on Absolute Pilates. I was confused at first - because what is a "pie-lates"? But I showed up anyway to one of Donna's barre classes in Harrisburg and it was an immedate click. Barre is low impact, and while you will get your heart rate up and sweating, it doesn't feel like you're about to hurt yourself, so whether you're a beginner or seasoned, barre can be a great addition to your calendar. What's my teaching style: As Dori said in Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming". In my classes, you'll find that we're always moving. If something isn't working for you, we'll just do something else. I strive to keep my classes fresh and interesting, while still challenging you to grow. Form will always take precedent over volume, so if you can only do one or two reps, then that's what we're doing. I'm here to help you, so never feel shy about asking questions or seeking more. The first step to success is simple: just show up. We'll fill in the rest from there.

Working out with a friend beats working out alone any day! From setting goals together to motivating each other and even having a little friendly competition, a workout buddy can be a great companion for your fitness journey. Why not bring a friend over to the studio next time you’re here and start a fitness routine with a friend? You know your friendship’s the real deal when you’ve literally sweated it out together! We have a big discount on our 6 - week transformation if you choose to do it with a friend! https://absolutepilates.co/6weektransformation/

The festive season’s just a huge food overload, isn’t it? Now that the celebrations are over, it might be a good idea to cleanse your body of all that rich heavy food by giving intermittent fasting a try. Try making a 7-day meal plan and focus on consuming your meals in 8 hours a day. It doesn’t have to be anything drastic, just try to cut the excess snacks and sugar out of your day. It’ll boost your immune system, flush out toxins, and make you feel lighter and more refreshed! Learn more about our 6 - week transformation program: https://absolutepilates.co/6weektransformation/
