The Benefits of Barre Classes

Barre classes are quickly growing in popularity…and with good reason! They offer TONS of amazing benefits for both your mind and your body…plus they’re a lot of fun! If you’ve been wondering why barre classes are so amazing, you’ve come to the right place!

Here are just some of the benefits of Barre classes:

• Improved posture: Ever wondered why dancers have such amazing posture outside of the studio? Well, what your practice in class normally sticks with you beyond the barre! From pliés to attitudes, barre classes involve movements that force you to exercise good posture. After several barre classes with us, you’ll find that your posture in your everyday life has improved, too. (So don’t be surprised if you get comments from friends, family and co-workers about how much longer and leaner you’re looking!)
• Weight loss: Looking for a way to reach your New Year’s weight loss goals? Barre classes hit the perfect balance of cardio and strength training exercises. As you take more of our barre classes, you’ll notice your muscles growing stronger, which will increase your body’s ability to burn fat faster.
• Muscle definition: Barre classes feature tons of repetitions of small, controlled movements that target and help to tone certain muscle groups. As an added bonus, these small movements are super light on your joints, so if you’re worried about aggravating an injury – don’t be!
• Increased flexibility: The key to increased flexibility is to do your stretches while your muscles are still warm – that’s why we go through a full-body stretch both before AND after our barre exercises. Most people who take our classes notice an increase in their flexibility after only a few sessions.
• Reduced stress: When you’re stressed, it’s so easy to fall into unhealthy habits. Barre classes give you the chance to release any stress you might have in a healthy way – by exercising! So step away from the snack cupboard and sign up for one of our classes! We guarantee you won’t regret it. 🙂
