Barrefigure is an addictive and challenging workout and the results are worth it; you can expect to feel stronger and leaner in as few as eight classes.
Don’t be put off by the name – no prior ballet experience is required! Indeed, barre is a low impact workout and suitable for all body types and skill levels. Plus the classes are suitable for pre and post-natal clients, those with injuries and men and women.
Classes are set to upbeat music and follow a 60-minute format beginning with a warm-up including upper body exercises with dumbbells, planks and push-ups, ab work and a brief stretch. You then move to the barre to perform leg and quadricep work with plies and pulses to fatigue them.
Your legs will shake and quiver which is just a sign you are working hard and making lasting change in your body! Glute work is performed at the barre or in the centre, utilising balls and bands and follows with 15 minutes of core conditioning. Class finishes with a well-deserved, five minute relaxation and stretch. A complete body and mind workout in one hour!
Choreography and intensity will vary each class to keep it interesting and prevent you from plateauing and expert instructors are on hand to guide and motivate you through every step.
The words ‘Find your inner strength’ adorn the studio wall and you’ll certainly live and die by those four words during class. Don’t be shy - try a class for yourself! New client offers: 2-for-1 classes for $28 and/or Into 30 Days Unlimited for $150.
