LEARN ABOUT BARRE

New to Barre?

First week free!

You’re in the right place! If you’ve never tried barre before get ready to be pleasantly surprised by a low impact, high intensity workout that strengthens, shapes and tones in an environment fit for any fitness level and all ages. Barre is an athletic blend of Pilates and resistance training with a ballet base. Every class is exciting and combines athletic movements with ballet barre positions to provide a class that is challenging but not overwhelming. You’ll be surprised by the way these tiny movements bring big change. Focusing on proper alignment, a strong core, increasing flexibility and feeling stronger with each class, we believe your workouts should provide an overall great quality of life!

All of our instructors are trained to offer a wide variety of modifications so that you can truly come as you are! Our passion is to bring you a top notch workout that is challenging but not overwhelming. We recommend you try one of our traditional barre classes as your first class. They are 1 hour in length and provide a great experience of what our full body barre workouts offer.

Explore our class formats below:

Barre and Barre Express:

In these low impact, open level barre classes you will be challenged but not overwhelmed. Barre uses isometric movements, light weights, and your own body to tone and strengthen each muscle group in the body. Traditional ballet barre classes are 1 hour in length and modifications are offered for all fitness levels. In our 45 minute express barre classes, you will find a shorter warmup and many combination movements so that you can still get the full body workout that you need in a shorter time frame. Pop in before work or end your day with 45 minutes of the barre you love.

Barre Sculpt:

If you’ve been to a barre class, you know how those little two pound weights bring the burn. In Sculpt we pick up our heavier weights (always optional) as we do slower movements and less repetitions while holding various empowering poses. This 45 minute class incorporates large body movements in a flow style, breath work, and stretches with barre muscle toning. We warm the room to get your muscles prepared to move and work and then cool it down as class progresses. It’s truly a treat! Join us under the light of the chandeliers on Wednesday mornings!

Cardio Barre:

Get your heart rate up while we max out our muscles in our Cardio Barre classes. These classes use interval training and are set to a faster paced beat to bring the heat, shake and sweat while keeping a barre and Pilates base. Even with a dynamic pace our cardio classes are still low impact. Expect fewer stretches throughout class but a long restorative stretch at the end of every class. Cardio classes are offered in a 1 hour and a 45 minute format.

Barre Restore:

Barre Restore is designed to balance out the strength work of barre with deep, purposeful stretching. We incorporate a foam roller to focus on longer holds and releasing tight or sore muscles for a full physical and mental restoration. Barre Restore is just what your body needs for optimal training and health. Enjoy a mid week refreshment on Wednesday evenings, 45 minutes of restorative stretch under the light of the chandeliers.

Glutes:

In this 50 minute class we dive deep into lower body work, recruit our core for support and, of course, shape our glutes! Focusing on our lower body, we will work to strengthen our glutes and in doing so, increase the efficacy of our classic barre workout. Class will include standing glute work, floor glute work, a core series and a deep stretch (we might even grab the foam rollers)! Come give your glutes some extra love! This class is offered every Thursday evening at 6:30pm and once a month on Saturdays at 9:30am. Book it early!

Faith Barre:

Need to feel encouraged? Empowered in your Christian faith? This is the class for you. This barre class will be taught in our regular barre format but as we workout, your instructor will speak life giving words from Scripture over you. You will be reminded of who you are and Whose you are in each class. Every class is finished with a deep stretch and time of meditation and prayer. Get your hopes up! This class is that good!

*Faith Barre is a specialty class and is offered on average once a month. Check the schedule and sign up early*

WHY BARRE NATION?

What sets Barre Nation apart?

Let me count the ways! First off, we are a come as you are studio. We believe that multiple generations working out together in the same space is a GREAT thing and we love seeing all ages, shapes and sizes working out together and gaining strength. Our instructors are trained to offer a wide variety of modifications during our workouts so any fitness level can get a great workout.

At Barre Nation we take a lot of pride in the execution of our barre method. Every single workout will be different! We do not repeat the same warm up and our choreography changes every class. Our muscles have memory and we want to keep them guessing while we are at the barre.

Tired of forgetting your socks and having to pay when you arrive to barre? We are NOT sock required because we workout on wood floors (no carpet). Socks are welcome but not required.

Because we are not a franchise we can offer competitive and affordable pricing so that barre workouts can be accessible to ALL! Have you noticed that it’s hard to find pricing on studio’s websites? Not at Barre Nation! We offer up front, competitive pricing plans and we offer scholarships if you meet financial need criteria. Also, we do NOT charge cancellation penalties. We have reasonable requirements on all of our memberships (listed on our Pricing page) which you can freeze or cancel with 30 days notice. Last little bit of good news? All of our memberships include a free online membership in addition to your unlimited access to our in-studio classes. Traveling or can’t make it into the studio? Hop online and workout from home at no charge.

What do I wear and what can I expect?

Wear whatever you feel comfortable working out in that allows your body to move freely. We suggest that you workout barefoot or in sticky socks (which help your feet keep a grip on the hardwood floors). When you arrive, your instructor will show you around the studio and help you get settled and set up. Our studio is 1,500 square feet and totally open so there is a lot of room to spread out and feel comfortable. You will be working out with a wide variety of age groups and fitness levels and that’s intentional. We love having a combination of generations that represent a diverse range of fitness levels at the barre. Your instructor will show you how to take each position up to the next level or down for less intensity. As you gain strength, you will find yourself letting go of the barre for longer periods of time as you gain balance and coordination. You will begin sitting lower in your pliés, holding your plank without dropping to your knees, and taking your workout to the next level in a variety of other ways. Your instructor will always be cheering you on and showing you how to get more from your workout. We believe we have a lot to learn from each other and that bringing a wide variety of fitness levels, ages and stages into one room is a beautiful way to encourage each other, accept each other and push each other on as we strengthen our bodies.

Wonderful class! The space is amazing, very open and airy! Definitely a tough workout but you feel great after. The instructor did an amazing job of walking you through the exercises so even if you aren’t familiar with the workout, you can pick it up fast.

Nicole did an excellent job of welcoming me to the studio for my first visit. The workout was intense-but that is why I went!! She offered modifications which is very helpful since I am a little older than the average student.

Laurie A.

Loved this Class, very challenging, the instruction was very well and easy to understand. The Monday and Tuesday, 9 am and 9:15 classes are different, because of two different instructors, but both were great. Going to grab my membership

I just finished my first workout at Barre Nation and I couldn’t recommend it more!! It is so beautiful and clean inside, the instructor (Nicole!) and music was very motivating and I had an amazing workout. Barre is so fun because you can really adjust your workout to best suit your body and fitness level and you will see results! I can’t wait to go back!

So in love with the look and feel of this studio! Took a class with Ashley this morning who was very sweet! As a Physical Therapist also certified in Barre technique, I really appreciated her cues for positioning and posture. Great workout in a great location and can’t wait to go back!
