Our class styles
Mat PILATES
Full-body strength and flexibility
Curated based on classical Pilates with a contemporary vibe. Our mat-based Pilates classes work the entire body through a series of repetitive exercises, refining muscle tone and definition. Our mat Pilates sequence is made up of classical, floor-based exercises that improve full body strength, flexibility and postural alignment. Pilates can also help prevent injuries and improve recovery and performance.
Suitable for all levels, this class promotes mind-body awareness, improves mental clarity and is designed to fit perfectly complement your weekly Barrecore class routine. Not suitable for pre-natal clients.
Beginner
BarreSIGNATURE
The original and most popular class
BarreSIGNATURE caters to all abilities and is always challenging. In this class, we use a combination of bodyweight resistance, light props, and high repetitions to exhaust all your major muscle groups. The constant change of choreography keeps your mind and muscles guessing.
Pre-natal clients are welcome to attend this class however we highly recommend first completing our pre-natal modification session.
Intermediate
BarreSCULPT
Enhanced burn with resistance bands
BarreSCULPT offers the same low-impact, high-intensity workout as our signature class, but with added challenge! In this class we use resistance bands, which triggers the isometric connection in your muscles more easily. This generates a quicker burn out and accelerates the change you will see and feel in your body!
Prenatal clients are welcome to attend this class however we highly recommend first completing our pre-natal modification session.
Intermediate
BarreSWEAT
Cardio with strength and definition
Building on our BarreSIGNATURE class, BarreSWEAT is a fun-filled, endorphin HIIT, that adds low-impact, cardio exercises. It’s a small step up from our BarreSIGNATURE, so we recommend having done 3-4 classes before challenging yourself to something new, fun and dynamic.
This class is not suitable for pre-natal clients.
Intermediate
BarreFORM
Technique refinement and slower pace
BarreFORM builds on our famous BarreSIGNATURE class, but goes even deeper into our technique, helping you refine your positioning to get the most out of every single barre move in all your Barrecore classes.
With more repetitions and slower transitions, this is a great class if you’re new to barre fitness, recovering from injury or are pregnant – but it’s also attended by our hardcore clients as it’s still a very challenging class!
Prenatal clients are welcome to attend this class however we highly recommend first completing our pre-natal modification session.
Intermediate
BarreRESTORE
Stretching, mobility, and recovery
BarreRESTORE uses a unique combination of breathing techniques, joint mobilisation, and lengthening stretches. Regular stretching will help you improve your positioning in class, allowing you to hold your poses longer, and feel yourself get stronger! We recommend a weekly BarreRESTORE class to really see the benefits!
Prenatal clients are welcome to attend this class however we highly recommend first completing our pre-natal modification session.
Intermediate
BarreGLIDE
Core strength through instability
Offering the same controlled movement, alignment, and focus on a body-brain connection as our SIGNATURE format, BarreGLIDE is our newest class format. BarreGLIDE provides a deeper burn in your core with a more pronounced range of motion using gliders to challenge the body with instability, whilst working through super-slow 4-count movement.
Not suitable for pre or post-natal but please get in touch to discuss our pre-natal modification session.

Frequently asked questions
Can I access all class styles with a pack or membership?
Yes! All our class styles are available to book with any intro offer, class pack or membership option.
How is Barrecore different from other exercises?
We believe Barrecore is more than just a fitness class – we are here to educate you so that you understand more about how your body works, functions and how to get the best out of your workouts. A lot of exercise many people are used to will involve some sort of impact, at some stage. We are strictly low impact, which makes our classes accessible to everyone – not something all forms of exercises offer.
Which class style is best for beginners?
We recommend that you start with our BarreFORM classes, which is taught at a slightly slower pace, or BarreSIGNATURE classes to learn the basics. You can read more about these on our classes page. Private Sessions (either live-streamed or in-studio) are another great way to get started.
Can I attend a class with you if I’m pregnant?
Many of our classes can still be attended whilst pregnant. It’s best to chat with our Front of House team before booking so we can help you select the most suitable classes to support your journey.
What do I need to wear or bring for class?
We recommend wearing fitted clothing to properly see and feel your technique. Leggings and a vest or t-shirt are perfect. Leggings with zips might prove uncomfortable during floor work, so we recommend leggings without them. A low-impact sports bra should provide adequate support as all our classes are low-impact.
Do I need grippy socks?
Socks are compulsory in class and we highly recommend that you wear grippy socks rather than standard socks. Grippy socks help you hold each position that bit longer without slipping and needing to reset your position. Barrecore grippy socks can be purchased from all of our studios. Grippy socks also help you hold each position that bit longer without slipping. As soon as you slip, you have to reset and you lose that crucial burn that Barrecore is all about.
