What is BarreConcept?

It's the latest fitness trend in America that has a celebrity following including Madonna and Kelly Osborne. Get the celebrity body look with BarreConcept workout that defines, lengthens and tones the body.

This increasingly popular exercise regime incorporates the precision of Pilates with the positions, moves, grace and technique of ballet.  Add to this the alignment of yoga and the strength from sports conditioning and you will have all the typical elements of a Barre workout.  The combined elements of the different methods fuse to form a challenging and exciting workout, which stretches and sculpts the muscles, whilst burning fat.  Balance, strength, stamina, power, flexibility and motor control all improve. This workout produces dramatic results that sculpt and redefine the entire body, without even being a dancer.  

This low impact, total body workout lifts the butt, tones the thighs, flattens the abs and sculpts the arms, whilst protecting the joints.  Small isometric contractions are performed and integrated with an interval training approach that burns fat and improves cardiovascular fitness. Watch your body change in just ten sessions as this workout quickly reshapes the entire body in a way that is fast and effective. Posture, flexibility, stamina and core strength improves.  The result is a body that is realigned, rebalanced and works harmoniously and efficiently.

Stretches are performed after each strength section of the class to ensure the muscles are re-lengthened to create a body that is strong without the added bulk of other regimes.  This workout is suitable for everybody as various adaptations are given throughout the class to suit the abilities of all students. 

Class Structure

Classes last one hour and are set to upbeat music with a typical session involving bands, weights and toning balls as well as utilising the ballet barre.  This low impact workout delivers profound results.  Sessions begin with a warm up followed by ten minutes of upper body exercises, 20 minutes core conditioning and then 20 minutes of butt and thigh work, finishing off with a 5 minute cool down and stretch sequence. The pace is vigorous and is sure to make you sweat.  The principles of Pilates are incorporated into the workout with most exercises being performed with a neutral spine and a firm emphasis on breathing and alignment and correct posture. Individual muscle groups are targeted using small but intense movements that result in an entire body workout, leading to a toned, lengthened and sculpted body.
