Barre is one of the few classes where a new mum, a retiree and a teenager can take the same class and all get a good workout. It's low-impact, every move can be made easier or harder, and you never need to keep up with anyone else.
Barre is a popular way back to exercise after pregnancy. It rebuilds core and pelvic strength gently, without jumping. Our founder Joanna started barre a year after her first child, while living with post-partum arthritis. Check with your doctor or physio first, and tell your instructor so moves can be adapted.
Strength and balance get harder to keep as we age, and both help prevent falls. Barre trains them with slow, supported moves, and you can hold a chair or barre for support whenever you need to. There's no getting up and down off the floor at speed.
Never done a class? Coming back after years off, an injury or a busy patch? Barre starts where you are. The instructor shows an easier option for each move, so the first class is about learning, not keeping pace.
Runners, cyclists, walkers and GAA players use barre to build the small stabilising muscles that other training misses. Expect it to be harder than it looks.
Classes are coming to Kilmacthomas, Kilmeaden and Ballyduff and Portlaw. Pick the locations that suit you when you join the waitlist.
No. If you can stand with something to hold on to, there's a version of the class for you.
Many people with joint pain find low-impact barre helps. Check with your doctor first and tell your instructor about any conditions.
Classes, nights and prices are being finalised now. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you first.
