It takes stamina to participate in elections: On big turnout days, you may well have to wait in line for hours. Carmel Barre is the place to prepare your body, with low-impact workouts designed to focus on defined muscle groups and make you stronger and fitter than ever before. Classes include ballet-inspired barre (lots of standing on your toes), high-intensity interval training and cardio workouts. It’s all designed to help you transform or maintain your body, just like elections can do for democracy.
