The long, strong, elegant, (cellulite free) bodies of dancers are often coveted as ideal, and who doesn’t want the high perky bum that goes with it. But slogging away on a treadmill isn’t always the most exciting way to work on your derriere. Barre Body Studio is your kick-ass fun answer.
Barre classes are becoming incredibly trendy these days, and Barre Body is Calgary’s very first studio to offer them. But don’t let the name fool you; this is not a dance class.
Focusing on body weight resistance, the classes use a combination of pilates, yoga, and dance to tighten and tone. The goal is to counteract the working girl (and guy’s) hunched over-office-job-riddled body with a killer workout based off of the classic ballet barre.
The instructors, called Barre Tenders, are there to stretch and guide you through each class. The studio offers several options including Barre Body Fit (the staple), Barre with Bands (aka theraband) and Barre Press (compressed 50 min class). Every one regardless of fitness level, body type, and coordination is welcome.
Equipped with two open studio spaces, gorgeous change rooms, complete with private showers, Barre Body offers a calm and sleek space to enjoy all the toning and tightening.
Your cute new bum will thank you.
