What is Barre?`
Barre is a dynamic blend of ballet-inspired moves, Pilates, Yoga and strength training that strengthens and works your entire body. Using small, isometric movements, Barre focuses on strengthening and stretching, improving your posture and increasing flexibility. All without the need for heavy equipment. You’ll use your own body weight along with light hand weights in some classes.
We want to make sure you know that you do not need to be graceful, coordinated or have a ‘ballet body’ to do barre. The classes we teach are fitness classes and wow do these classes work!

Low-Impact, High-Intensity
Barre is low impact but still delivers a serious burn. The controlled movements allow you to work deeply into your muscles and you’ll feel your heart rate pumping with the repetition.
Full-Body Strengthening and Toning
Each class targets every major muscle group. You’ll feel your arms, legs, core and glutes working hard, helping you to build strength.
Improved Flexibility
With a focus on moving with precision and control, you’ll increase your strength, flexibility and range of motion. This balance between strength and flexibility work will help you feel more comfortable within your body during everyday tasks.
Better Posture
Many Barre exercises focus on core strength and balance, which can significantly improve your posture over time. You’ll walk taller, with your shoulders back, exuding more confidence. Also, better balance and core strength reduce the risk of falls and increase back stability… so imporatnt as we age!
Mind-Body Connection
Like Yoga, Barre encourages mindfulness and body awareness. Each movement is connected to the breath, therefore Barre Workouts are not only great for your physical health but also your mind health.

I hated exercise before MerryBody. It was boring and I always counted down the minutes. I don’t do MerryBody to get the exercise in – I do MerryBody to make me feel good! There is so much goodness in the App – the new weekly classes, the challenges, the masterclasses. Words are not enough to explain. I’ve never stuck to a program this long in my whole life. I cannot reccomend it enough.”
