barre classes

At Ballard Health Club, our barre instructors come from diverse backgrounds, and teach a variety of different methods. The freedom to teach their own style of barre makes each class a fun and unique workout.

Barre classes are a fusion of ballet-inspired movements, pilates, yoga and strength training. The focus is on high repetitions of small movements to hone in on specific muscles, and then stretching those muscles in a way that promotes long, lean growth. Using light weights, exercise balls, resistance bands, and body weight exercises makes for an intense, low-impact workout. It takes students from bursts of high level, intense activity into periods of relaxing, deep stretches, to imitate interval training and offer similar benefits. No dance experience necessary, and classes are traditionally done barefoot or with socks.

The class schedule below shows the rest of classes for today, and for the next 6 days.
