MORE FAQ’S ABOUT MetroBarre

What is MetroBarre Fitness?

Metro-Barre is a one hour full body workout that fuses the elements of Ballet and Pilates inspired movement, Sports Conditioning exercises and Yoga for a truly unique and fun fitness experience. The exercises are low impact in nature but high intensity intervals of strength training followed by deep recovery stretching. Metro-Barre will evenly sculpt and transform the entire body, resulting in a beautifully toned body. The best part? No dance, Pilates or yoga experience required!!

What do you do in a MetroBarre class?

Every Metro-Barre class begins a warm-up, followed by series of upper body exercises using light hand-held weights. The ballet barre is used to sculpt the lower body, strengthen core muscles and for flexibility training. Then it is down to the yoga mat utilizing a fitball for more core work and then finally some yoga inspired stretches ending with a final relaxation.

What do you wear in a MetroBarre class?

Please wear comfortable workout wear. We suggest tight fitting “yoga type” clothing so that the instructor can easily see form and alignment. The workout is done barefooted but can also be done in ballet or jazz shoes.

What do I bring to a MetroBarre class?

We have everything you will need for your MetroBarre class including yoga mats, hand held weights, fitballs, yoga blocks and blankets. You are always welcome to use our yoga mats but suggest bringing your own if you have one simply for hygiene reasons. Please bring your own water bottle and remember to stay hydrated throughout the class!
