As a runner for over 20 years, Ashley always knew that “cross training” was “good for you.” But, she was NOTE not finterested if it involved group exercise in a mirrored room. When you run, you don’t need anything but a good pair of shoes. Winter happened in Indiana so she gave barre a chance.

The morning after her first class, she was sore in muscles she DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED. She took a class every single day for the rest of the month and then was eventually asked to teach! She began teaching in 2016.

“The amazing workout continues to keep me coming back (turns out, barre is a fantastic complement to running), but it’s the people that make Barre Ripple Movement an equally amazing community. From the first instructor I met, to the badass instructors I co-teach with now, to the special, caring, and strong clients we have the honor of guiding through class, Barre Ripple Movement makes Indianapolis home.”
