What is Barre Fitness?

Barre Fitness is a low-impact training method that combines ballet-inspired movements with elements of Pilates, functional fitness and group exercise.

Exercises can be performed using a traditional ballet barre, another stable form of support or without equipment. The method is versatile and can be adapted to participants of different ages and fitness levels.

Barre Fitness combines full-range movements with small pulses and isometric holds to develop muscular strength, endurance, stability and control. Stretching exercises incorporated throughout the session can also support flexibility, mobility and recovery.

Regular Barre Fitness training can help participants:

strengthen and tone the glutes, legs, calves and core muscles,
improve posture, balance and body alignment,
develop muscular endurance and stability,
support pelvic floor function,
increase flexibility and mobility,
improve coordination and body awareness.

Barre Fitness provides an engaging alternative to traditional fitness, aerobics and mind-body classes. Exercises can be modified for beginners and progressed for more experienced participants.

Classes can be delivered using accessories such as Pilates balls, light weights, resistance bands, tubes and gliding discs, or without any additional equipment. The programme can be used in fitness studios, gyms, personal training sessions and home-based training.
