Grace and Athleticism
Taking cues from ballet, yoga and Pilates, barre classes combine strength training with mindfulness for a targeted full-body workout. The magic is in the micro movements.
Core Strengthening, Muscle Lengthening
High reps of precise, isometric moves on and off the barre that engage muscles in a way that squats, lunges and sit-ups can’t.
Leave an inch taller
Get the long, lean dancer look as you strengthen your core and improve alignment, all while toning and elongating.
instructor insight
“The end of class is more important than the start. When you feel discomfort, that is your body changing in positive ways.”
Barre Class Formats
LIFE BARRE Classic
Created with ballet in mind, this invigorating class involves high reps of micro, controlled movements to ignite deep muscle burn. No dance experience necessary.
LIFE BARRE STRENGTH
The classic barre burn made deeper with light weights and resistance bands. Engage both major and small (but mighty) muscle groups with traditional barre movements that tone and strengthen.
LIFE BARRE FUSION
A blend of ballet with strength, cardio, balance and mobility exercises, you’ll begin to move with a little more poise and grace.
