Barre Class FAQs

  • Barre is a low impact, high intensity class based on Ballet and Pilates-inspired movements, designed to build muscular strength and endurance. So, there’s no jumping around but you will feel like you’ve done a workout.

    WonderBarre classes are set to music and broken into different sections focusing on major muscle groups including arms, legs, glutes and core. They follow the key Barre principles:

    Small and controlled movements (known as pulses)

    High repetitions

    Isometric exercises or holding a static position

    Good form and posture.

    Barre can also be seen as functional fitness as so many of the things we do in Barre, mimic movements we need to do in real life.

  • Yes. Anyone can do a Barre class. Due to its adaptable nature, it suits all different levels of fitness and is particularly beginner-friendly.

    WonderBarre classes offer lots of scalable options so you can work at a level that feels right for you – it’s your workout.

A Few Kind Words

"I’d been wanting to try Claire’s barre class for ages, but thought I needed to have done some ballet. I shouldn’t have worried - Claire was so welcoming and it’s honestly a class that anyone can do. It’s gentle, but very effective exercise. I love it!" Alice

"I’ve been going to Claire’s classes since the start. Claire works with you to guide you through the low impact, small movements which have strengthened my legs, arms, glutes and core. I love the classes. I am hooked. They are hard work and Claire makes them great fun.” Christine

“My first introduction to a Barre class was with Claire and it was amazing! Her introduction and instructions were so clear and simple. You are learning Ballet technique, Pilates and weight-training so they are a full body workout. Claire is a fabulous teacher and really cares about her students. I have gone to all the classes and they have definitely worked wonders on my posture and toning. Barre works wonders for your body and mind.” Holly
