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 likes 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.
Within eight months of its opening, Giorla has filled his classes with enthusiastic students and has become the darling of celebrities looking for the long lean look his workout delivers.
Richard Giorla resides in Los Angeles and continues to teach classes at his studio, CARDIO BARRE, in Studio City, California. |
