Two weeks ago, on our one year anniversary of launching the blog (yay!), we hosted a class at the newly opened Burn60 Studios!
Let me start by saying, this is no ordinary workout class – it is 60 minutes of pure sweat and intensity [in a really good way].
We had such a great time! Here are most of the ladies {note: this is pre-sweat fest, a.k.a. pre-class – the after photos would be too scary!

Alright, disclaimer time – we´ve taken our fair share of workout classes, but this one definitelytops the charts. We left completely and utterly exhausted, yet somehow planning our next return simultaneously. Seriously, I think it´s the adrenaline rush that consumes you after class ends. It´s like an addiction – it leaves you wanting more. But at least it´s a healthy one! 
To that point, Burn60 has everything we love and seek in a workout class: a fast, efficient, and fun full-body workout. With ever-changing intervals, pump-you-up music, and expert trainers – this class has it all, and then some. [Side note: if you don´t like to sweat, you might want to stay home.]
As much as we may have been nearly hating it at times, it was so worth it. We had such a blast. Don´t get me wrong – we were in pain and drenched in sweat after the first interval – but somehow we were still able to laugh and have fun. Misery loves company, right? Maybe. Or perhaps the endorphins were working overtime. It´s hard to explain, but if you try Burn60 out, you will totally understand.
Since we had a full class of over 25 people (who were all kickin´ some serious a**), we split up into two ‘teams´ – half starting on the treadmills, and half starting on the floor, which switched about every 10-15 minutes. Keith, our fun and fearless drill sergeant instructor, kept the energy going the entire time. No breaks, no slacking off. I´ll admit, there were a few times I wanted to give up, but that just wasn´t an option in this class – the energy was unstoppable.
I mean call it peer-pressure, but it´s hard to not go full-out when the music is pumping and everyone around you´s giving 110% [plus, Keith is yelling at the treadmill runners, “go 12.5!!” ;)] Haha, but really, the peer motivation is key (we wouldn´t have made it through otherwise) – and it´s the key reason why we absolutely love group classes.
Look at how lovely and sweet the staff is! Dont´ be fooled though, they mean some serious business.
Burn60 is conveniently located at The Lakes in Thousand Oaks, right next door to one of our favorite local spots to grab a quick and healthy meal or snack, SunLife Organics. After our workout class we enjoyed some delicious (and beautiful) Dragon Bowls that were graciously donated by Carly and her SunLife team – thanks again SunLife!!
