What is a Barre BodySM class?
Barre Body SM is an exercise class using the ballet barre as a prop. The barre, in addition to other props such as light hand weights, balls, and exercise bands, are incorporated into exercises to help support the body in dynamic movement. This promotes the development of long, lean muscles like those associated with a dancer’s body, giving you that “barre body” SM look. Barre Body SM involves the same principles as Pilates wherein you create stability in your body, strengthen and stretch your muscles, and increase your stamina through an invigorating workout targeting your upper body, abdominals, seat, and thighs. Classes are set to a mix of upbeat and soothing music to match the flow of the class. Top.
Is it safe for me?
Barre Body SM is open to everyone, but may not be recommended for clients with current neck or back injuries. Please call the studio if you currently have neck or back injuries to insure a safer workout or if you have any questions. The class format includes strength sections followed by stretch sections and does not typically involve high impact exercises like jumping that may be hard on the joints. Top.
How many students are in a Barre Body class?
All Studio Body Logic classes have a maximum enrollment of 12 students. Keeping class sizes small allows instructors to provide individualized attention to each student during their workout. Top.
Who teaches Barre Body?
Barre Body SM is taught by well-trained, experienced instructors, many of whom have a dance background. Studio Body Logic instructors are fun and encouraging and focus on teaching the work rather than doing the class. Keeping demonstration to a minimum allows instructors to move around the room helping students find correct placement for a safe and enjoyable workout. Top.
Is dance or ballet experience required?
No dance or ballet experience is required! All are welcome to take the class. Instructors will guide you through the workout, breaking down the positions and movements so that you can perfect them and work even deeper – that’s where the real work is! Top.
Is a barre class a good supplement to my Pilates workouts?
Yes. Barre Body SM is complimentary to Pilates and uses the same principles and techniques, focusing on core strength, flexibility, and building a long and lean physique. There are definitely cross-training opportunities between Pilates and this barre workout! If you are a current Pilates student or fitness enthusiast looking to expand your conditioning repertoire, this class may be for you. Top.
What is the difference between an express Barre Body class and a regular Barre Body class?
It’s just the length. We offer some 45-minute classes at certain points of the day for those that want a more “express” workout. These classes follow the same format as their full length, 55-minute counterparts just in a slightly condensed timeframe to help fit into your busy schedule. Top.

What should I wear to Barre Body class?
Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in (like yoga or Pilates clothing), but try not to wear anything too loose–fitting; it is important that instructors are able to check your form and alignment throughout class. Also please wear regular or “sticky” socks (socks with grips). Sticky socks can be purchased at the studio. All props, including mats, are provided. Top.
What is the make-up policy?
There are unlimited make-ups for missed Barre Body SM classes. You do not need to call the office or make prior arrangements to come to another class to make up. Missed Barre Body SM classes should be made up in another Barre Body SM class or a Stretch, Sculpt, or Yoga class. If you are a current Pilates student you may also make up in a Pilates class at your level.
Make ups DO NOT carry over to the next session – all make ups must be completed by the end of the current session. If you are experiencing problems with our make-up policy, please call the office to let us know. Top.
