BARRE

ALL LEVELS: Barre is our foundational practice - we recommend every CarmelBarre student take it regularly! In this energizing, all-levels class, you’ll experience low impact precision movements inspired by ballet, coupled with familiar exercises (squats, push-ups, planks) that work your legs, thighs, glutes and arms. Using light props like hand weights and stretchy bands, this class will challenge and build your stabilizer and accessory muscles while working those core muscles in a way that delivers quick results to students at every level. Bring water, a mat and grip socks!

BARRE + CARDIO TRAMPOLINE

IT'S THE MOST FUN WORKOUT YOU'VE NEVER DONE!

Enjoy some Barre strength moves + a little bit of happy bounce on the mini-trampoline = one perfect combination!

We'll work on and off the trampolines in this class, hitting every muscle in the body with modifiable, strengthening, focused Barre moves mixed with low-impact, smile-inducing Bounce! Accompanied by motivating playlists and lots of energy, we guarantee you will be a Barre Bounce fanatic!

BENEFITS OF THE TRAMP:

- Bounce is a high-intensity, low-impact cardio workout that gets your heart pumping—without putting extra stress on your joints

- Helps you increase your stamina, endurance, and cardiovascular output

- Helps with coordination and balance

- Aids the lymphatic system - bouncing on a trampoline may help flush the fluid out of your lymphatic system, thanks to good old gravity. This, in turn, may improve circulation and your body’s natural detoxification process

All levels welcome! Bring a mat, water and a sweat towel. CLEAN indoor shoes are optional.

PILATES + WEIGHTS

Pilates + Weights is a powerful fusion of Pilates precision, heart pumping cardio, and strength training. Expect dynamic blocks that alternate between core-focused Pilates flows, energizing cardio bursts, and weight intervals designed to build strength, endurance and control. This class hits every muscle group while keeping things grounded, challenging, and fun.
