Giorla's constant ability to land work took a physical toll on his body and Giorla suffered an injury that would force him to put his dance career on hold. He entered an intense physical therapy program that was based on the philosophies of Pilates and Yoga; the strengthening and toning of muscles without impact. Now needing to find work outside of the dancing arena, Giorla began teaching a ballet barre class at a facility in Studio City.
While he liked the structure, stretching and muscle toning attributes of ballet, he found he wasn’t getting the cardio workout he needed. Giorla used his dance background to design a workout that combined the two, and created what is today, CARDIO BARRE®. This barre based cardio workout is unlike any other exercise class offered in other gyms and studios.
Giorla has filled his classes with enthusiastic students, athletes, models, dancers and has become the darling of celebrities looking for the long lean look his workout delivers. After opening his first studio in 2001, Richard has franchised his concept with plans to take his unique program worldwide. There are presently six studios in California and the number is growing rapidly! |
