Arms and Abs with Keoni Hudoba @ Barry's Bootcamp

135 W. 20th St.

Holy Hudoba

Keoni is just... different. I've never seen anyone who looks quite like him. Not to mention that he's jacked out of his mind, and a sweetheart to boot. I loved this class.

My notes on Keoni

- If I were to guess, I would say Hawaiian. I can picture Keoni ripping it up on a
  wave (in a Roxy ad)

- GREAT voice. Made us hoot and holler – encouraged energy, gave back
   energy.

- Noticed when people were walking and yelled “JOG!”

- Got the sense that he was actually watching everyone –and taking care of us.

- Adjusted us - came over to make several adjustments on me, particularly to  
  make sure I was bringing my arms all the way straight in the bicep curl.

- Generally, Keoni just gets it. He has a great presence and he works it. You
  trust him. You like him. He motivates you.

Class

- Strong focus on two muscle groups – biceps and triceps. Tons of curls. I like
  this specific focus because it meant that I was actually reallyreally sore in one
  area the next day instead of kinda sore all over. Making one muscle sore is the
  best feeling – you feel like that muscle looks so sexy (you can feel every little
  movement it’s doing.. if it hurts, it MUST look good. Right?)

- This was a 4 segment class (Barry’s is always either 4 or 6 segments,
  depending on the length of the treadmill parts.) I actually like it that you never
  know whether the class will be 4 or 6 - keeps you on your toes. No pun
  intended.

Crowd

- Perfect number of people. This was my first class after the way-too-crowded 
  class, so it was a relief.

- Full of meatsticks. Like, dudes with tattoos who are ripped out of their minds
  and remind me of that gorgeous popsicle of a man in 'Step Up', on steroids.

- Lots of dude’s dudes. Barry’s is a funny mix – sometimes every guy in the
  class is gay, sometimes they’re all straight as an arrow / “made in Westchesta”.

- Lots of mid-class clothing removal (hey, that’s A-OK with me)

A nice finish

As I was walking out, I yelled, “Thanks!” to which Keoni responded, oh-so-sincerely, “NO - THANK YOU!” All I have to say is < 3.

Conclusion:

The ultimate litmus test: I would absolutely wake up early to work out with him.
