What about W en s t tasks in Baltimore and Baltimore positive we were positively get it done up here. We’re Pappas. They just put the sign out front. I mean, I was here with the temporary sign. We are in the green Briar shopping center. It’s all courtesy of our friends at the Maryland lottery. And I’ve been given up so many of these tickets. That’s winners up here, up to 10,000 bucks on these puppies here. I’ll also have these later in the month on the 27th. We’re going to be captain Larry’s in Federal Hill, downtown and then on the 28th back and fade these in the morning. We sort of had to skip out on families as we conduct me day. But no skip out here at Pappas, we had an Odell Beckham Jr. Press Conference. We’ve had an Oreo game that’s still in progress here and moving into the afternoon people eating great crab cakes and a lot of friends up here but Boykin families at the bar trying to get me a lubricated the right way. But I’ve been to the Greenbrier shopping center a couple of times in my past, because I like Philadelphia pretzels. So I know the Philadelphia pretzel place is up here because a lot of other community places and everybody knows I’m into like fitness and I’m in the local and and all this stuff. That’s why I do the Maryland crab cake Tour presented by the Maryland lottery and when their nation and my dear friend Kristen Doran, who helped me with my website years ago, said there’s this couple, they have like a business there and they have this thing and they’re nice people and you should reach to them. So don’t be me reaching out to them this week. And they’re like, or they don’t like some anniversary or they’re doing

So I mean, you’ve been in the neighborhood for a while eat good neighbor is even better in his neighborhood right now at Baptist here. But when a new tenant comes in and given support, that’s your community organization. We

Natalie Conley  02:06

are so happy to have Pappas, right. Local because we definitely want to partner up with them. But we’re right at stay in line right catty corner,

Nestor Aparicio  02:14

what is staying in lunch? That’s like my kind of fitness joint. So we’re a bar studio.

Natalie Conley  02:18

So I don’t know how to say that. Yeah, big bar benefit. Never got a bar to ours. So I

8

Nestor Aparicio  02:26

was called a barrier bid bow bar. I didn’t know how to say spa. I know we get that a lot but it’s bar. My son’s name is ba RR y barre. C, ba RR e right now. So I did. Okay, so what is it?

Natalie Conley  02:37

So okay, so it’s like low impact bodyweight movements. So when you think of bar, you’re gonna think of like a ballet bar. We do have. We do have some classes that have ballet elements. But for the most part, everyone has their own take on bar. I’m a

Nestor Aparicio  02:55

hot yoga guy. But when I say that, people go Yoga, you know, whatever. I’ve done all kinds of yoga. Currently, I have a back issue. I like vinyasa. I like where and I like heat. So if it’s not a hot room, I’m probably not going to love it. Right? I like to sweat instantly. I mean, the place I go and I’m not going to shout out. They don’t keep it as hot as I want to keep it Somebody’s always yelling I want it hotter. Right. But I don’t want Vikram I don’t want 26 into I’m not looking for structure, right? I’m looking for like music, Wavy Gravy, some candles and some serious sweat.

Natalie Conley  03:32

8

We do offer yoga at the studio, but it’s not hot yoga. What

Nestor Aparicio  03:35

is fair what?

Natalie Conley  03:38

I mean, I did Zumba last

Nestor Aparicio  03:40

week. So I went home. I didn’t do it. No, I did a segment on it.

8

Natalie Conley  03:42

Oh, I saw that. I actually will.

Nestor Aparicio  03:44

So Gigi is my friend. So she I’m trying to figure out. I have shoes that are cross training shoes. And I only I only do hot yoga. I’m not anything else. So I want to try to like mix some other fonts something that might be fun. Yeah, no, I would never have known hot yoga was fun unless I did it. But it doesn’t sound it doesn’t sound appealing. You don’t I mean, we get in a room. We get on a mat and He sweat our asses off. He took a lot of water. Right and you feel good. Right? Right. You know, maybe but it’s not for everybody.

Natalie Conley  04:14

And Yoga is not for everyone. But everyone that has tried bar I will say we’re gonna sweat. Yes. You’re gonna sweat. Absolute sweat. I like it. Yes. And I mean, we can always turn off the tongue for you. Is your music. Oh, yes, there’s great music. It’s kind of depends on the instructor. They each have their own style of what they like to do and I’m sure you see that in yoga.

Nestor Aparicio  04:31

8

See, I purposely did this for radio purposes. I knew you were coming. I sort of Googled you last night on Facebook and your girlfriend’s and your friend to do it. But like the I didn’t even know how to say ba RR E and I thought I’m gonna learn about it just the way I do it. I do it on the radio like this. I don’t like really want to. I could have seen a video. So what is it like in a movement way says

Natalie Conley  04:54

it a lot. I think a lot of pauses a lot of squats, a lot of repetitive moves. menstrual. Yeah, so it has. So if you look up the definition of bar, you’re going to see that it has some yoga and some mat Pilates elements in it. So have you ever seen

Nestor Aparicio  05:09

the Pilates in on me? Okay. I went to a legitimate Pilates studio like 20 years ago.

Natalie Conley  05:15

And performers with the room.

8

Nestor Aparicio  05:19

Right, right, right. Right. Right. It was a big thing. Now I do more like in yoga, we’re doing more like, head up, legs up. core work. Just core floor core work,

Natalie Conley  05:32

right. So bars a toe, it’s a total body workout. You’re not just working on your you’re not just on the mat. You’re not just on the bar, 60 minutes 90, what are we looking at? So we have we do have a 45 minute class or those who have a tight schedule, but most classes are 60 minutes. Okay. Yeah. And then we our instructors have different backgrounds. So have you ever taken a Les Mills class? I don’t want a single body Les Mills like a body pump class? No. Okay, so Body Pump is it’s more of like cardio hit training, but some of our instructors have that background. So they incorporate some of those things in the class. So every class is super stylistic to the instructor, but they all have the same certification the same. They do the same things like they’re on they’re on the mat doing the core work, they’re doing the passes on on the

Nestor Aparicio  06:15

cardio HIIT yoga class for the first time in my life. 10 days ago, 12 days ago, and it was it was okay, I just, I’m addicted to vinyasa. I’m in the movie language like and that’s why I like Gigi less because of my Zoom. She like you can move anywhere you want. I didn’t like structure of step aerobics, and I don’t like a seat on my crotch. Like, like spinning lakes. I don’t. I don’t like it. It’s not fun for me. It’s not something I want to go back and do. So I love hot yoga. I love vinyasa. I love walking. I’m a walker. I like I walk everywhere. I miss living downtown for that. But I’m looking for that next thing. Yeah, I’m looking for what is the next thing I might fall in love. Right, right. Well

Natalie Conley  06:56

And as you know, Zumba is Latin music, our fly dance classes, all hip hop music. So it’s super fun. Tina, our lead bar instructor, she is the only she has the only certification and fly dance in the state of Maryland. So it’s a brand new certification.

And they are shaking. I’m shaking your hand. I touching people, right? The dancing part of the world being shut down and coming back out. Now that we’re we’re old farts I had a friend over in Europe opening an old school disco like his own rock star. To give people that are 55 a place to go and dance to that music. Right? Not Hip Hop not in a club where everybody’s 21 and throwing up on my shoes, right? You know, I’ve done I mean, I travel I go out I go to bars. I’m not after 11 At night, nothing good happens. But like going someplace to dance. Like, I don’t. I feel like there’s a lot of places people strum the guitar. I love rock and roll. But like dancing a dance thing, that if you can incorporate that into working out, you wouldn’t feel like well, I gotta go to the club on Saturday night.

Natalie Conley  08:31

Like, and it’s very structured. And I love to dance. Yeah. So I’ll be I will be ending this. Yes. So it’s very structured. So Tina will break down the steps on an eight count. You’ll start from the top with just that eight count. And then by the end of the class, you’re putting a whole dance together, and you’re constantly moving. So you’re constantly, you know, burning calories, breaking that sweat, getting that heart rate up. So it’s definitely a great, it’s a great class.
