Grand Junction is a hot location to be for summer time activities. From Festivals , Farmers Markets to Concerts and outdoor activities. Grand Junction Summers are full of fun various ways to cool off during those hot summer days. Here are a few of our favorite things to do during the summer months.

Barrelosphy : Barre studio

I love to start my morning with a good workout and Barrelosophy downtown Gj delivers. Barre is a combination of yoga, ballet and pilates moves, located in a boutique studio. Isolation is key to this work out , you feel the burn and accomplished after your work out. They provide a great class and the environment is welcoming and comfortable. Offering different times during the day to get a class in and they also have a quick cardi barre class if a 30 min workout is more your speed.

One of the best parts is its located centrally downtown and you can just walk downtown to kiln coffee bar after class to get a little pick me up.

Stay updated on their social media for different events they offer as well every fall/winter they do a Barre Flowers , Crepes and Tiny Tattoos event. A recent one was Badass Barre Event were they had barre class at a local Ordinary Fellow Winery ,your ticket included a class, and a wine tasting paired with food from the food truck on site, Le Snack. Also a fun hat to decorate with ribbon, feathers & leather. An iced latte from Foci Coffee and a mini facial, massage or brow tint from Naked Asthetics. With some fun add ons from feathers in your hair , Pinque boutique to shop and Henna tattoos. All of these amazing pictures below were taken by Above Alpine Photography.
