Barre (pronounced ‘bar’) was introduced on our island a few years ago and since then, it has been a fave of many, us included. Why? This workout routine combines dance, yoga postures, pilates moves, resistance training, and promises a lean and sculpted physique. Named after the rail that ballet dancers hold on to for stability during practice, barre boasts a dynamic, full-body workout that incorporates cardio and feel-good stretches that also helps to improve posture and is even suitable pre and postnatal. Here are our top picks of the best barre studios right here in Singapore.

Co-Founders of Barre 2 Barre, Mylène and Karen, met in Hong Kong as fellow Pilates teachers at a local studio.

Aside from their regular classes, they also conduct monthly challenges just to keep you on your toes. There are also periodic workshops for barre mamas and mamas-t0-be.
