Class Description: If you have never taken a Barre class before and not sure what it is, keep
reading! Barre is designed to be a full body muscle endurance workout. It is typically broken into
different sections that focus on major muscle groups including arm, glutes, and core. Barre class
is a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, yoga and Pilates. It is low impact, high
intensity movements designed to strengthen your body in ways that few other workouts can. In
addition to building strength, this full body workout also develops agility and flexibility In some
classes, you’ll use just the barre (or equivalent like a countertop or chair back) and your body
weight to churn out rep after rep of muscle-burning move, while incorporating tools like
resistance bands, sliders, small 2 lb free weights, exercise balls, and more. There are many perks
that come with dabbling in a Barre class to supplement your other training. Some of the benefits
are:
Increased flexibility
Increased muscle strength
Improved endurance
Gentle on your joints as it is low impact
Better posture and great for cross training.
