For anyone who has never heard of Barry’s before, they’re a company providing intense bootcamp sessions that make a difference. Based around the world, they a wide variety of celebrity clients and the very best trainers.
All Barry’s classes are held in dim lit, red studios to motivating playlists of music, and this will be recreated on the night. The feel of the room is said to add an element of excitement to the workout, allowing you to dig deeper and lose yourselves.
155m above the city of London, the class and after party hosted in the Sky Garden will offer the most amazing views of London. And who doesn’t love a workout with a twist?!
A number of expert trainers will be taking part and leading the HIIT workout. Jemma McKenzie Brown has already been named as the trainer who will lead the cool-down sequence.
The after party will have a DJ providing entertainment and there will be a variety of post-workout treats available (including Ahi Poke and Get A Drip).
Dementia is a cause which is particularly close to the hearts of the Barry’s team and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, particularly as the charity moves into its “Dementia Revolution” campaign
