| - I discovered Barre Body a few months ago and have been going regularly ever since. Elements of my favourite forms of exercise (ballet, yoga, pilates) are all rolled into one class - which is so efficient. I mean, who wants to exercise more than they need to? I'm not super fit, but I can see how these classes are making me stronger already.
The classes take place in a dance studio with mirrors and ballet barres. There's barre work, floor work, cardio, some weights and bands are used in almost all the classes. I think the variety makes the classes go by fast.
- everyone is encouraged to work towards their own personal fitness goal
- there's a variety of age groups, sizes and shapes, that attend the classes (even some guys)
- there's a variety of days/times available for booking
- there's a variety of instructors, although the fundamental elements are incorporated into each class
- there are usually adaptations offered for different fitness levels
- it is an all over workout, which makes it a worthwhile exercise in my books
- I work muscles I've never worked before
- I always work up a sweat
- AND you get to wear cool toe sox (socks with grippers on the bottom so no runners here!)
- the change rooms are kept nice
Warning: The nature of many of the exercises are aimed at giving you a toned tush.
