    Grand opening party! Yay! Cupcakes!

    Want to work out muscles you never thought you had?! Sweat + Soul will bring those muscles to light. How will you know? You'll feel it the next day and especially two days later. I love it! Located in Keahou Place, next to The Ultimate Foot Store and across of the new Down to Earth. The studio is brand spanking new, clean, and super nice! Water, towels, mats, all equipment needed for class are all available. Parking is located in the Keahou Place building and one hour validations are given on your way out of class. All instructors are awesome. I've taken classes from Melissa, Leanne, Rebecca, Mark, and Nicole. Although they all have very different personalities, the structure of the barre classes are very similar. By structure, I mean you will always be focusing on arms, legs, butt, and core. Each class I've experienced had different moves with different routines, so I can never get bored for sure. They offer Barre (60 min), Barre Basic (60 min), Cardio Barre (60 min), Cardio (45 min), and Barre Express (45 min). No matter how many times you go to barre classes, I feel like you will hurt. A good hurt of course! The kind where you know you worked your butt off.

    I recently moved to Kakaako and sometimes driving to Kahala to go to F45 takes me 45 min in rush hour so again decided to cheat on them and this is how i found this place! Reviews: -Ambience: super clean and nice. No showers though. Place is located in Keahou Lane -Service: everyone has been super nice and friendly! I've tried 2 teachers so far and they were both amazing! -Parking: 1 hour free with validation and $1 after -Class: i have been working 6 days a week for over 2 years now and this class killed me! Its so different than all the classes i do (salsa dancing, twerking yoga, F45, Core Power, yoga and cycling, swimming and running) Its a slower pace but it burns my whole body! Specially my booty and abs! So i am definitely coming back!!! Tip: you will need socks with grip and check Mind Body for your first 2 classes for $26 only! #bodyapproved

    HAPPY HOUR at the BARRE! Are you bored with your current workout routine? I was. Do you want to increase your core strength and improve your posture? I do. Do you want a flatter stomach and longer leaner muscles? Who wouldn't? Try a Barre class at Sweat and Soul. Sweat + Soul is a boutique studio specializing in Barre and yoga. I never took a yoga class here, so this review is only for the Barre classes. I bought the $40 for 2 weeks unlimited deal just to try it out. After my first class I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. After my second class I was still on the fence. Somewhere after the third class it kicked in and I ended up going to six barre classes in 12 days, to feel the full benefit of going to Barre classes regularly. 2015 is the year of the BARRE I would describe a Barre class as a mixture of yoga, Pilates, core strength isometric exercises, and ballet *inspired* leg and arm exercises (note the *inspired* part..because this is nothing like ballet). I've belonged to various gyms for over 20 years and have tried it all. I started my exercise fascination with the "20 minute workout" on TV (now how many of you remember THAT show??), hi impact, lo impact, step, kickboxing, cycle, Zumba, yoga, Pilates, strength training, boot camp...you name it, I've done it all. But I had never taken a Barre class before. I go to the gym a few times a week, which includes weight training, yoga, and some cardio. How hard could it be, right? WELL. Let me tell you. Apparently I was not training my core. My core was weak. I thought my legs were strong but they were SHAKING after some of the Barre leg raises. By eliminating the glute involvement, the quadriceps do all the work and I was dying during the fold over section. The elevated plie death squats (my official name for them, not theirs) causes tremendous amount of shaking each time. I love balls but when I have to squeeze the ball in-between my thigh while squatting on tip toe...it's KILLER. There is even one move where I felt like I was learning to TWERK! I am still a work in progress but now I'm more aware of where my hips, shoulders and ears are. I have to tell myself to pull my shoulders back and down, square my hips and tuck my tailbone in to stand in the correct position. It is easy to fall out of the correct posture/position and not work the muscle you're supposed to be working. This is where having a great instructor/trainer like Melissa comes in. She is the sweetest person but don't let that fool you. She kicks my ass. Every. Single. Time. She makes sure that I don't "cheat". Just when I think "omg I can't do another one", she says "okay just a little bit higher Lori! Squeeze it past my hand. Just 4 more!" and sometimes I look at her and think "uh no way". Today Melissa decided to make me into a "pretzel". No problem there until she said "ok now lift the back knee, and pulse". (ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?) I didn't even think it was possible to lift that back leg! With proper alignment and a strong core lock, it happened. Even though I don't sweat as much in a Barre class as I do in hot yoga, or classes like kickboxing, I definitely feel it the next day. I am sitting here typing because I can't really do much else since the rest of my body is sore. It's not all torture, though. The deep stretches are awesome, with the strap or bar assist. I feel longer, stronger, leaner, meaner(!), and my legs and butt have gotten a huge wake up call. This has helped me lift more weight at the gym, and has increased my flexibility in yoga, so these Barre classes are a great addition to my current workout routine. The price for monthly membership is a little bit much for me, and my schedule is erratic, so pay-per-class works better for me. I found a deal on Amazon Local this week: $45 for 5 classes or $80 for 10 classes, which is a HUGE STEAL. Go get it now. Now who wants to meet me at the BARRE? LOGISTICS Parking: Daytime--Street METER parking ($0.75/hr)--Pohukaina is 2hrs, Cooke St is 1hr only (so you can not park on Cooke, as you will be gone longer than an hour!). Free after 6pm. Do not leave your car over the time limit and put more quarters. I got a ticket on Pohukaina when I left my car there for 2.5hrs (I had put more quarters in the meter, but they marked my tires). There are some free spaces on the surrounding streets but I've never been able to find an open spot. Location: Across from UFC gym, in the same building as Tropical Blends and Hang Out (the aerial yoga place). Go to the second floor of this building, it will be at the top of the stairwell. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sweat-soul-honolulu#ZcF3ITPp6zKeAbfho__9KQ Must wear grippy socks. 2 bathrooms are outside the studio. No showers. No childcare.

    I have been waiting and waiting for this adorable studio to open up in Kaka'ako and the day has finally come! I spied Sweat + Soul when I took at class at the Hang Out next door and three months later the doors opened for barre and yoga classes. I had signed up for their email list and got an invite for their free weekend of Grand Opening classes. Yes, oh yes! I wanted to try their barre class but was only able to fit in their candlelight Yin yoga. I always believe that the Universe always delivers exactly what you need and a relaxing hour of yoga was just what my body was yearning for. Located across from the BJ Penn UFC gym, Sweat & Soul is hidden on the second floor. When you walk in there's an assortment of yoga gear for sale and a check-in area. The studio itself is tiny but it was a great place for our candlelit yoga session. I'm not a candle person but the Yin yoga class has totally changed my mind! I practice hot yoga about 3-4 times a week but the addition of candles created the most relaxing environment. The class was interesting because I've never taken a Yin yoga class and we held each pose for much longer than regular yoga. I'm consider myself to be very flexible but found certain poses very intense because of the length of the hold. At the end of class our instructor talked to each guest to get feedback which I thought was great! I was lucky enough to meet Melissa (the owner) afterwards and she was such a lovely person. Can't wait to try out their barre classes and I look forward to another Yin yoga session!

    "Release any frustrations, any judgments, any comparisons and replace them with gratitude for your hard work and dedication in class today." This place is not about getting lost into the motion, but being more aware of your body and putting as much focus and energy into every single part of your body to maintain the correct positions. I've been coming here every morning for the past 4-5 months, and I've seen my body change so much! I've always been an active person, and besides my typical activities, such as soccer and running, I've never been able to keep interest in anything else. I've tried the gym, but never found the motivation to go, so I ended up canceling my membership. I've tried zumba, and as much as it was fun, I didn't feel I was making any progress in my weight and body, so I quit going. I've tried workout videos, but lost interest quickly. But when I attended my first barre class here, even though it was super challenging and I felt the burn afterwards, I got addicted to it and found myself going everyday! The great part about this place is their New Client Special. Where most places make you buy their membership right away without even testing it out if you'll even like it first, Sweat + Soul has a deal for 2 weeks of unlimited classes for $40. And if you want to purchase their membership, even though it says $128/month, if you purchased their New Client Special, you get an additional discount off their membership fees: $99/month! But you have to purchase it within a week after your 2 weeks deal expires in order to get that special. The instructors here are amazing! I've never raved so much about working out until I got here. The instructors are really what make this place stand-out from anywhere else. They're super friendly, they care about their students as they're always constantly asking ways they could improve, and not only do they motivate us to push our boundaries, but they are always making sure to compliment us when we're improving in our positions. Their encouragement and assistance in making me better is one of the reasons why I find myself committed to attending class everyday! It's one thing to feel you're improving, but when you hear someone else acknowledge your progress, you can't imagine how much of a booster that is towards your self-confidence! From my first day in class to where I am now, I've improved so much in my flexibility and in my strength. And it's always so amazing to hear the instructors point out your accomplishments over the past months and how they feel so touched to be apart of my journey on making health and fitness a main priority. Thank you Sweat + Soul for helping me grow confidence in myself and in my body.

    Class today!

I originally discovered The Bar Method back in 2017. Barre is deceptively challenging, and I was quickly humbled by the workout. I remember grabbing heavy hand weights when I first walked into the barre studio, since I was accustomed to throwing around a lot of weight in CrossFit...and then wasn't even able to make it through warm up! Since that day, I religiously attended barre four times per week, and it became my sanity amidst the chaos of being a business owner, mom, boss, wife, etc. When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, the instructors were supportive, initially maintaining confidence while privately demonstrating modifications. I was blessed with an easy pregnancy, and I attribute a large part of that to barre keeping me disciplined and strong. I continued taking classes throughout my entire pregnancy until my daughter decided to make a quick entrance into the world...and I gave birth in the car on our way to the hospital!
