NEIGHBORHOOD barre is a unique workout that combines the elements of dance conditioning, pilates, and weight training to create what is commonly referred to as a “dancer’s physique.” The technique primarily uses small isometric movements to carve and sculpt the muscles of the arms, legs, seat, and abs. Each set of exercises is followed by a series of stretches to shape the muscles, making them long and lean. The NEIGHBORHOOD barre workout is suitable for both males and females and can be performed by a wide range of ages. It can be used as either a primary fitness program or as a complement to an existing program. Body positioning is taught in each class in order to maximize the benefit of the exercises, as well as to insure safety of the lower back. All movements are low impact, easy on the joints, and help to improve posture and balance. When done consistently, muscles will become toned and lifted, and overall energy and metabolic levels will improve. Classes are approximately 55 minutes in length and and can be purchased/scheduled online or in person. New clients are asked to please arrive 10 minutes early in order to complete paperwork. see less
