Benefits of Barre Fitness

By: Nicole Prisco - NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Experienced Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher, Barre Certified Teacher, and Pilates Certified Teacher

There are many benefits to Barre Fitness.  As an experienced teacher of various classes, I work with a diverse group of people of all fitness levels.  Barre Fitness is a combination of Yoga, Pilates and Dance, engaging the core, using balance, and combining stretching with strength.

Yoga focuses on poses that include balance and breathwork for both the mind and body.  Pilates focuses on core strength and control with precise movements.  Dance incorporates choreographed movements with expression.  When combining all three of these fitness forms, you get a Barre Fitness class.

Barre Fitness classes help with balance and coordination, improve flexibility, and can be considered a low-impact core and leg strengthening exercise.  This form of exercise can help improve cardiovascular health by elevating the heart rate through exercise movements.  Any age or experience level can try out a Barre Fitness class and benefit from it.  

Group classes are a good way to interact and socialize with people in the community.  Fitness has many benefits and is always a positive experience.  Some of these benefits are: improving mental health, reducing stress, increasing energy, enhancing the quality of sleep, and boosting confidence.  If you get a chance, try a Barre Fitness class.
