Try a graceful, hip way to stay in shape, as Perrysburg’s Essence Mind Body Studio offers XTend Barre classes. “We’re one of only three studios in the entire state to offer it,” says owner Diana Spiess. “It's one of the biggest barre methods in the world right now.” What kind of “barre?” Well, think ballet, but with a dose of pilates thrown in. Exercises use a bar along a wall to do ballet-type movement with a strong fitness element. Classes are $18 each, but a package of ten drops that to $12 per session.
Plenty of dates and times are available, so see the website for details. 580 Craig Dr., Ste 12, Perrysburg. 419-873-6463. www.essencembs.com. —MD
