BARRE3 IS REDEFINING WHAT SUCCESS IN FITNESS MEANS. HERE’S HOW.
“What is barre3?”
Such a simple question on the surface—and yet strangely hard to answer. There’s the just-the-facts definition: Barre3 is a full-body, balanced workout that combines strength-conditioning, cardio, and mindfulness. It’s a solid start—but it doesn’t capture that extra something we all feel in a barre3 class. How do you describe a workout that has the power to transform you just as much on the inside as it does on the outside? And how, exactly, can one class do all of that?
Here’s how: Barre3 is on a mission to redefine what success in fitness looks like, and every minute of the class is designed to realize that vision.
For too long, success in fitness has been about measuring up to unrealistic ideals of what society deems as attractive, beautiful, and worthy. The message is that we aren’t good enough as we are, and that we need fitness to be better. Success is measured by the scale, the measuring tape, the pair of skinny jeans we bought as motivation. And when we don’t hit those measures of success? We’ve failed.
This approach to exercise rarely leads to meaningful changes—but it does lead to low self-esteem, injury, and a negative association with fitness.
The barre3 class takes a refreshingly different approach. Instead of exercising to radically change your body, the barre3 class is designed to help you radically love your body, just as it is.
How do we do that? With a class that teaches you to strive not to attain someone else’s idea of the “perfect” body, but to be balanced in body and empowered from within.
It starts with the physical workout—sustained holds, micro-movements, and heart-pumping cardio bursts strengthen and balance your body—but that’s just the beginning. Throughout class, we ask you to listen to your body to understand what it needs in that moment. For every move you do in class, we offer modifications for that move.
When you ask your body what it needs and adjust your workout accordingly, you learn that you are your own best teacher. Suddenly, working out isn’t a chore, it’s a joy. Instead of feeling mired in an ongoing battle with your body, you feel at home in your body.
And here’s the wild thing: The more you learn to look within and stand up for what you need in your barre3 class, the more likely you’ll be to do the same in other aspects of your life. Instead of looking to the external world for answers and validation, you’ll look inside yourself.
Balanced in body. Empowered from within. At home in your body, just as it is in this moment. That’s what success in fitness looks like, and we invite you to join us in bringing this revolutionary notion to life.
