You're finally joining us for your first barre class, and we know that it can be an exciting and invigorating experience.

As you prepare to step into The Barre Fitness Studio, it's important to dress appropriately and come prepared for a fulfilling workout. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the essentials of what to wear, what to bring, and how to address any specific considerations such as injuries or pre/postnatal conditions.

What to Wear:
When choosing your attire for a barre class, opt for light and comfortable activewear that allows freedom of movement. Consider wearing breathable fabrics that wick away sweat and keep you cool throughout the session. Layering is key, as you can peel away clothing as your body heats up during the workout. Additionally, make sure to wear gripper socks, which are required to prevent slipping and provide stability during the various barre exercises. If you don't already have a pair, you can conveniently purchase them at the studio.
Changing and Storage:
At The Barre Fitness Studio, you'll find a calm and welcoming space to change into your workout attire. Hang your coat, store your belongings, and remove your shoes before entering the studios. This helps maintain cleanliness and create a tranquil environment for everyone. We also recommend using the restroom before the class begins to ensure you have an uninterrupted workout experience.
What to Bring:
One of the advantages of attending classes at The Barre Fitness Studio is that all mats, props, and towels are provided for your convenience. You don't need to worry about lugging around heavy equipment. However, it's a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session. ( PS. We have some stunning Frank Green water bottles for purchase in our shop! ) Keeping yourself properly hydrated will help you perform at your best and prevent fatigue.
Injuries, Pre & Post Natal Considerations:
Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance to us. Prior to each class, our instructors will ask if anyone has any injuries or pre/postnatal indications. It is essential that you communicate any such concerns before the class begins. By doing so, our experienced instructors can provide modifications tailored to your specific needs. In some cases, we may even recommend booking a personalized 1:1 session to better understand your requirements and ensure a safe and effective workout.
