Since Barre was born in 2009, it has been growing in popularity in Houston and beyond. Classes have been popping up in every city and the fitness enthusiasts are not shying away from them. So, what attracts people to these classes so much and keeps them coming for more?

Let’s take a look at the physical benefits of Barre Classes:

• Calories burned – one of the main reasons why people work out is to torch calories and fat. During a typical, hour-long Barre class, a person can expect to burn 300-600 calories.

• Full body fitness – Barre classes work just about every muscle group, making it a great full-body workout. Planks, push-ups, arm, leg, glute, and core work can be expected.

• Effective strength training – since Barre classes do involve all of the muscle groups, it can act as a solid strength training session. Additionally, the isometric nature (short, tiny pulses) of Barre is said to be more effective than other methods of training.

In addition to providing a satisfying physical workout, there are other aspects to Barre classes that promote their popularity:

• Group setting – The group fitness setting of Barre classes is a highly effective way for some people to work out. There are social, motivational, and community aspects to a group fitness class that may make getting to the gym or fitness studio easier for some people.

• Convenience – with its growing popularity in the U.S. and other countries, Barre classes are being integrated in many fitness studios. If you’re in the Houston area, try one at 3D Fitness!

• Stress relief – with foundations of yoga integrated in Barre and the low impact nature of the workout, it is likely that you will leave class with less stress and a calmer mind.
