Barre Favs: Gym Bag Essentials

If you're anything like us, your morning haul to the car is a workout in itself. Gym bag, purse, lunch, coffee, change of clothes, kids ... then we all take that moment of panic to think ... 'what am I missing?!' (hopefully its not the kids and it better not be the coffee.) This week we asked your barretenders what is the most important thing that they pack up for their day.

Barre Favs: New Year Resolutions 2016

As we say goodbye to 2016 and the New Year rolls in, many of us begin to think of new resolutions, intentions and goals to achieve in 2017. Think about the best version of yourself, mastermind a plan to get there and then … rock it out.

Barre Favs: Summer to Winter Fitness Routine

Baby, it's cold outside! Although we are always keeping things HOT @ the barre, the same can't be said for every aspect of our health/fitness routine.

Barre Favs: Barre Arms

What is the secret to sculpted barre arms? Light weights, repetitive movements and a tiny range of motion. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to curl 50 lbs weights to build those muscles up and while those 2 lbs weights may look like a breeze at first, any barrestar will certainly advise you other wise. Here are your instructors favourite ways to work those barre arms! “My favourite barre arm exercise is a toss up between wide rows & tricep kickbacks (palms up to

Barre Favs: Cardio Workout

As you all know, barre is a kick-ass workout with a special focus on developing and toning muscles. And while this is FANTASTIC for your body, we wont deny the importance of incorporating cardio exercise to keep your fitness routine well rounded. Did you know that the majority of barre method's do not include a cardio component into their classes? We think that cardio is incredibly important, so we add it into (almost) every class - we even offer Barre Blast for those of you
