A low-impact strength, cardio, and endurance workout inspired by ballet, yoga, and Pilates.
Barre is a low-impact, high-reward, full-body workout inspired by ballet, yoga, and Pilates. It’s a style of training that combines strength, cardio, and endurance using high repetitions and a small range of movement to develop strength and flexibility from the ankles through the calves, knees, thighs, glutes, and abdominals. Not only does it sculpt stronger, more defined muscles, but it also promotes better posture, balance, and range of motion.
