What if I am pregnant, have not taken a barre class before, or out-of shape? Could this work for me? +
For our online classes if you are new you will need to do a one on one assessment with an expert either on zoom or in a park and you will need doctors clearance in writing. @theBarre Studio releases all liablity on online workouts.
If we are in the studio the answer is YES! @theBarre welcomes and encourages everyone – All ages, genders, and fitness levels. If you're pregnant, we ask that you have been active prior to your pregnancy and that you consult with and have consent by your physician that you are clear to exercise. Because moderate exercise during pregnancy and postpartum can help you feel healthy, happy, and fit, we are here to offer support during this exciting time in your life! If you are taking class for the first time, focus on the muscle contractions and smaller movements. Do not be afraid to let your muscles shake. Shaking is a good thing! It means muscle fatigue which will improve with your advancement in the technique and classes. Our instructors are here to help you through class, offer modifications, and answer any questions you may have.

Are there different levels of @theBarre classes? +
Online classes have differnt levels
All our studio and live streamed classes are created on the same level and include technical cues and options given that work for people at all levels of fitness. Therefore, you can choose the class that suits your schedule, rather than being forced to work out at a specific time based on the level of class. The positions and movements are very do-able, no co-ordination needed - it's how deep you work in certain movements that makes the difference to the intensity and as you gain fitness we challenge you more .
Why do I shake and get muscle tremors in class? +
When your muscles are reaching the point of fatigue you often experience shaking. never fear this is the 'happy shake' and you have reached a goal of taking your body to the next level of fitness! We always include a good Yoga/Ballet stretch, to rid the muscles of lactic acid while they are warm and malleable so you don't walk around in pain for days after. This also gives you those long, lean limbs you want!
Can I bring the kids or my dog? +
Yay definitely online we cant wait to meet them!!!
Unfortunately in the studios we do not have facilities for kids or dogs. Due to weights and equipment children under 15 may not attend class or wait in the waiting room area. We don't recommend leaving your dog tied up outside for an hour. Dogs may not be left in the waiting room or bathroom area.
