Virtual Barre That Celebrates Your Body
We were made to move
Imagine a joy-filled + healthy relationship with movement—one that enhances your body image and self-esteem, decreases stress and anxiety, and improves your overall health. What would it look like to have a deeper mind-body connection? How would it feel to truly love and accept your body, instead of trying to 'fix' it?
Diet culture can hijack movement and make it all about controlling or manipulating our bodies, but it doesn't have to be about that. It can be about SO much more. Movement is one of many great ways we can practice taking care of ourselves, especially if it’s done in a body-neutral, non-obsessive, judgment-free way.

“UNMEASURED has helped me finally understand that moving my body is not about making it suffer or hurt in order to achieve a certain ‘body shape’, but rather moving it in a way that I know we both will enjoy no matter the degree of difficulty.”

Hi, I'm Simi!
But, you can call me Sim from here on out; it makes me feel like we’re old friends.
I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Intuitive Eating Counselor, author of Letting Go of Leo: How I Broke Up With Perfection, and a barre instructor. Through this work, I help women all over the world ditch perfection and heal their relationships with food and body image so they can begin to embrace their beautifully imperfect lives.
But a decade ago, my life looked drastically different. I was a food-obsessing, schedule-filling, to-do-list checking, corporate attorney. And, I was majorly struggling with exercise...
The Four C's
At the core of our Unmeasured Membership, you will find:
Connection
connecting to your body, your needs, your strength, your energy, and the present moment
Challenge
challenging yourself to honor what your body needs through movement and acknowledging that ‘challenge’ means different things on different days. Some days, the biggest challenge might be modifying or taking a rest. Other days, holding a pose a few seconds longer or going deeper might be where you want to go!
Compassion
strengthening that kind, gentle, encouraging inner voice of self-compassion (and learning to come back to it over and over again)
Celebration
celebrating where, who, and how you are today through movement

Frequently Asked Questions
Barre is a low-impact full body movement practice inspired by ballet, Pilates, and yoga.
Each class incorporates combinations of high repetitions of small controlled movements (sometimes using light weights or resistance) and stretching.
Form is cued extensively and plenty of modifications (or as we like to call them in UNMEASURED, opportunities to honor your body) are offered throughout class so you can feel safe and supported.
We even have a tutorial section in the virtual library for Form & Modifications. You can request a specific tutorial be added to this at anytime!
You have 24/7 access to the membership and workouts can be streamed on movementunmeasured.com after logging in to your account.
Since you’ll likely be doing the classes outside of a traditional barre studio, we do our best to keep equipment to a minimum. For each class, we encourage you to have a floor mat, a chair, and access to a wall. You can also see a list of recommended equipment here — these are optional and not required. While the list is minimal, we still recommend trying out a few of the workouts to make sure you enjoy it before purchasing the optional equipment.
Simi is an attorney turned Certified Holistic Health Coach, Intuitive Eating Counselor, and barre instructor.
After completing law school and practicing law for a number of years, she became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). Shortly thereafter, she received her Transformational Coaching Method Certification through Health Coach MBA (now known as ‘Health Coaching Institute’). Simi is also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor (trained and certified by the original intuitive eating pros) and has completed additional private and group mentorships + supervision with experts in the fields of intuitive eating, HAES, and self care.
For her barre training, Simi was trained personally by Nancy Cushman Brown (master instructor and founder of Studio B Wellness) and went on to teach at Studio B Wellness in German Village, Ohio for years before it closed its doors in 2018. She's so grateful for ongoing mentorship by Nancy Cushman Brown.
Simi is passionate about merging her love of barre with her intuitive eating / HAES training. To hear more about her personal movement journey, click here and / or pick up a copy of Letting Go of Leo: How I Broke Up With Perfection, a memoir about overcoming a decades-long struggle with feeling like she wasn’t enough.
There are two class options: 20-25 minute classes and 40-45 minute classes.
You have access to 10 classes at any time: five 20-25 minute classes and five 40-45 minute classes. As two new classes are added each week, the oldest two will be removed, so your class library is always being updated with fresh content.
If you're new to barre, you can absolutely join us. The classes are created for all levels. Each class will be full of form cues so you know what you're doing and when. Plus, modifications are offered throughout the classes for you to take as needed and / or desired. Modifications are not just for people with injuries or who are pregnant, they are for EVERY body! We'd love you to give Umeasured a try and see if you like it.
Every body is different. First and foremost, always consult with your physician before doing any workout during pregnancy or postpartum. Many women enjoy barre throughout pregnancy and once cleared for physical activity postpartum. Modifications are suggested within the membership to make the workouts as accessible and supportive as possible. We always encourage you to listen to how your body feels during workouts, as well. If something feels painful or off, please stop and check in with a healthcare professional.
Every body is different. First and foremost, always consult with your physician and / or physical therapist before performing any workout with an injury. Modifications and alternatives are suggested within the membership to make the workouts as accessible and supportive as possible. We always encourage you to listen to how your body feels during workouts, as well. If something feels painful or off, please stop and check in with a healthcare professional.
First and foremost, always consult with your recovery team. For any and everyone: eating enough and resting enough are vital to having a healthy relationship with movement. If this is a season in your life where you need to take extended rest from formal movement, I want to fully encourage you to do that. I know it can be so challenging to do, but it's 100% worth it and so are you! Once you and your team decide that you're ready to introduce formal movement back into your life, I'd love for you to see if Unmeasured is the right fit for you.
No way! We know what it's like to sign up for a monthly membership and then forget you ever joined. But, that won't happen with Unmeasured. You'll get an email from Simi each + every week when your two new barre classes are added to your library.
The membership is a month-to-month commitment. You can cancel anytime up to 24 hours before auto-renew for the following month billing cycle.

Acknowledgment of Privilege
If you’re worried I won’t understand what you’re experiencing because I live in a different body than you, I hear you. I have thin and white privilege (among others), so there are some experiences I don’t personally have because of these privileges.
As a coach, intuitive eating counselor, author, and barre instructor, I work with people in all different bodies—including ones that are different than mine.
I’m both passionate about and committed to diversity, equity, and working toward the end of all forms of oppression. This includes, but is not limited to, being actively body-inclusive and anti-racist.
From the very beginning of my business, I’ve always said, ‘I want to help people take care of and respect their bodies—not to try and have mine.’
I fully believe that my work is about helping you connect with YOU.
I believe in respect for ALL bodies and that is a foundational value of all the work that I do—including here in our UNMEASURED Membership.
I also believe in listening to people’s lived experiences, validating their feelings, and providing compassionate care to help them navigate their lives with decisions that honor their values and uniqueness.
I’m not here to fix you – I don't think you need to be fixed.
However, I’m very passionate about working to change the narratives (internal and external) about our bodies and our worth. I also strive to help us all navigate this world with more self-trust, self-compassion, and self-care.
It's so important for you to feel fully empowered to work with someone who you feel comfortable with. If that’s me, I’d love to support you! If it’s not, I truly believe you know what’s best for you and I would never try to tell you otherwise.
You are the expert on YOU.
You can read my full statement of privilege + business values here.
I’m grateful you’re here and honored to get to meet you with compassion and celebrate you along your journey!
Love,

“For the first time, I got to move without being yelled at or told I was going to be ‘sexy for summer.’ I felt free and loved the little quirks of my body. At the end, I literally hugged myself and appreciated the body that was given to me.”
“Usually when I try something new, I feel discouraged at this point. Your refreshing and supportive voice has me convinced that I can use UNMEASURED as a way to reconnect with myself and my strength."
"I also have to say that your gentleness has brought me to tears during classes before. I struggle with needing permission a lot in my life so every time you talk about how we don’t need permission to listen to our bodies, it makes me emotional in the best way."
