What is a barre workout?

Barreworks WorkOut class

Using the ballet barre as a basis for a complete body workout, the exercises involve dynamic and static movements, isometric holds, core strengthening and luxurious orthopaedic stretching. A fun, fast-paced and deceptively challenging work-out improves cardiovascular stamina and tones and sculpts each muscle group. All the exercises are performed to music.

Barreworks RunOut class

With strong bio-mechanics, good alignment and long, lean muscle tone, you can run effortlessly, without injury and enjoy every minute. Running is the perfect compliment to the Barreworks Methodology, so it made sense for us to develop a bespoke technique-based running class applying the principles of a Barreworks workout to help you discover the 'skill' of running. Whatever your level or injury history - and no matter how much you think you hate running, we promise you can learn to love it. We take you from a warm up at the barre to the park or along the river in Richmond and then back to the Studio to stretch and cool down. Classes are held on Mondays at 9.30am and 6.30pm and Thursday 9.30am and 7pm.

Our Thursday 7pm class starts and finishes at Wholefoods Market in Richmond. This class is completely FREE and you will get a complimetary juice or smoothie to refuel afterwards! Booking essential!
