Barre at maeve brings the best bits of Pilates, Ballet and Sculpt together in one class. Add in our signature boutique experience and you've got your new favourite workout in Edinburgh.
Barre is a low-impact, full-body workout that blends elements of ballet, Pilates, yoga, and strength training. It gets its name from the ballet barre, which is used for balance during many of the exercises. Barre is all about small, controlled movements that create muscle endurance, isometric holds, high reps and a focus on posture, alignment, balance, and flexibility. Plus, like Pilates, Barre is low impact meaning it's not hard on your joints and it's perfect for lots of fitness levels. Barre is great for toning your muscles and body, building strength and endurance AND enhancing flexibility. Take all of that, add a killer soundtrack, and you won't even realise you're in an exercise class because you're having so much fun.
