Q. Will barre n9ne® classes help me lose weight?

A. Yes, combined with maintaining a healthy moderate diet, you will lose weight and reshape your muscles. Our method of exercises focuses on strengthening and lengthening the muscles. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn all day. Our classes combine intervals where we speed up the heart rate during strengthening exercises and then slows down during stretching which is great for burning calories and therefore losing weight.

Q. How will barre n9ne® classes change my shape and slim down my body?

A.This method will trim down your body, especially around your thighs and glutes. Your muscles will first lift up and seem to be fuller. Because muscles are mostly composed of water, yours will absorb water as they become more active. As your muscles become denser, over a period of three-to-five months, they will also become more compact. Over time your muscles will firm up around their underlying bones, and the inter-muscular fat will burn away, revealing a trimmed down shape.

Q. How long are barre n9ne® classes?

A. Classes are 57 minutes long. Express classes are 45 minutes. Occasionally we will have a few classes that are 75-90 minutes in length.

Q. Can I take class if I have a bun in the oven?

A. Yes! We do offer prenatal classes upon request however most classes can be modified to be taken safely throughout your pregnancy. Tanya (Owner) actually taught classes up until week 38 of her pregnancy and one of our awesome instructors Stefanie taught until week 39 of her pregnancy! We require a note from your Doctor stating that the class/classes you would like to take are safe for you. Please inform the instructor prior to class to let them know you are expecting. In addition the cost of class for an expecting mom is $12/class. Important note-the barre n9ne® cardio class is not recommended for expecting women. 

Q. How often should I take class?

A. To receive maximum results you should consistently take class 3-4 (or more) times per week. It is safe to take class everyday as we only use light weights and do plenty of stretching. Taking class once or twice per week is also great if you are looking to just feel good, it is very therapeutic for your knees, joints, and is great for flexibility.

Q. Why is it so important to stretch and be flexible?

A. Flexibility offers several benefits such as decreased risk of injury, improved posture, reduced muscle soreness, and decreased risk of lower back pain. Plus a stretched, flexible muscle is considerably stronger than a tight muscle. Lastly, flexibility helps relax the mind and body and makes you look and feel better.

Q. Do clients need to be a certain age or at a certain fitness level to attend class?

A.  You must be at least 16 years old to take our signature classes. We have clients that range from 16-70 years old and are of all different fitness levels. We do have teen hip hop classes for our younger clientele.

Q. What should I bring and wear to class?

A. Bring water, a pair of socks, and a towel. We prefer you to wear long slim pants and a fitted top. Loose baggy clothes make it hard for the instructor to see your form. We do sell bottled water at the front desk for $1. For any of our cardio classes please bring clean indoor sneakers.

Q. How much is a barre luxe personal training session?

A. A single training session is $65. You may also purchase 5 for $300 or 10 for $550.
