You Will Work Your Entire Body "During a barre class, expect a mix of body weight and light weight exercises using high repetitions and isometric holds," says Schwefel. A warmup might consist of planks and pushups, then you might head to the barre for leg- and glute-focused exercises, and then you might end class on the mat working on your core and cooling down with some yoga poses. Every studio's barre class is different, though. Schwefel says the classes at her studio, Forme Barre, are more ballet-inspired, while Norton says Exhale's barre classes feature more strength training elements.
