We catch up with Barry’s Bootcamp trainer Anya Lahiri
Interview Elizabeth Hutton
Elizabeth Hutton: How did you get into Barry’s Bootcamp?
Anya Lahiri: I started as a client 10 years ago and completely fell in love with the workout. I started working in LA, then helped launch the first location in London three and a half years ago.
EH: What makes Barry’s “the best workout in the world”?
AL: The combination of HIIT and resistance with weights and body weight guarantee results but above and beyond all it is great fun.
EH: What exercises are best post-pregnancy?
AL: Low impact exercise such as walking and swimming are great to ease you in and protect your joints.


EH: What do you do to relax and unwind?
AL: My Barry’s classes are my ‘me’ time at the moment. I also love long walks on Hampstead Heath with my baby in the sling and my
border collie.
EH: What nutritional advice do you follow?
AL: I eat a high protein diet with lots of good carbs such as sweet potato. This way my food provides me with a lot of energy.
EH: What are your top tips for people who want to lose weight?
AL: Finding a fitness class or community, like Barry’s, is a great way to find support and keep you in check with your exercise program. Small steps will eventually get you to your goals and to feeling fit and fabulous again.
