Here’s everything you need to know.
Barre incorporates elements of strength training, dance, Pilates, and yoga, to promote strength, flexibility, balance, and total body transformation. Barre exercises tone and target specific muscle groups, such as the core, arms, legs, and glutes. Due to the low-impact, alignment and form-focused nature of barre, it’s appropriate and effective for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Physique 57 is an ultra-effective exercise method that is accessible for everyBODY.
Benefits include:
Barre workouts can be effective for weight loss and toning the body. The combination of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and stretching can help increase lean muscle tone, improve flexibility, and burn calories. Individual results may vary. A consistent exercise routine plus a balanced diet are important factors for achieving weight loss goals.
Barre and Pilates share common principles of proper body alignment and posture, controlled movements, and mental focus. There is also crossover in exercises done on the floor.
While Pilates exercises are traditionally done lying on a mat or using specific resistance equipment such as a reformer, Barre exercises bring it to the vertical. Most often, barre incorporates the use of a wall-mounted ballet barre for participants to use for support and stability while standing, along with exercise balls, resistance bands, and hand weights.
Barre classes rely less on resistance equipment and instead use your own body weight. Barre also includes more vigorous intervals and higher repetitions to get the heart pumping and challenge muscles to their point of fatigue, making barre more cardiovascular.
No, previous dance experience is not required for barre classes. Barre workouts are designed to be accessible to people of all fitness levels and backgrounds. The exercises can be modified based on individual abilities, so beginners can participate and progress at their own pace.
While barre is inspired by ballet and dance, barre is a workout, not a dance class. Your instructor will cue the positions and movements in the moment to keep you moving. You will not be required to memorize any choreography so you can focus on refining your form, moving to the invigorating music, and relishing the results that await. Barre is less about how you look and more about how amazing you feel.
Barre workouts are appropriate for people of all fitness levels, just be sure to pace yourself as you build up your strength.
The beauty of barre workouts is that you can feel them working – you may notice muscles you never felt before and you’ll feel the burn in your muscles which is a sign of your body changing. Most importantly, find a well-trained, knowledgeable instructor, start with a beginner level class when available, and listen to your body and shake it out as needed. You’ll be amazed with how you get stronger with each session and how quickly you see results.
It’s always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program if you have health concerns or injuries. They can provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and can advise about any movements or positions that should be avoided.
In general, barre is a low-impact workout, and modifications can be made to accommodate various conditions or injuries. Informing your instructor about specific limitations or injuries before class is essential, as they can provide appropriate alternatives to ensure a safe and effective workout.
Core strength and balance are top benefits of barre. With a full-body, 360 approach, barre has a unique way of creating balanced strength. Life and daily habits cause muscle imbalances, and barre helps restore balance as you work meticulously through your body. This will make you more stable on your feet, as will having a stronger mid-section. The abdominal, back, and hip muscles are recruited and challenged throughout every section of a barre class, which means you get a serious, centering workout.
While you’re perfecting your alignment in your barre classes, you’re building habits that will carry on throughout your day. Elegant, powerful posture never goes out of style!
While stretches are incorporated throughout most barre classes and are part of the cooldown, the flexibility factor doesn’t stop there. The elongated positions and full range movements during every section of class will leave you feeling supple and will sculpt your muscles. And because barre builds flexibility and strength simultaneously, it means that you’ll have strong muscles to support your lithe physique.
Barre is a form of strength training that builds lean muscle mass. In addition to developing functional strength and having a sculpted physique, having more lean muscle will also rev up your metabolic rate. 1 pound of muscle burns 3 times as many calories as 1 pound of fat. And you won’t bulk up! Barre uses your own body weight and small hand weights for resistance, which makes it easy on your joints and a super effective way to build muscle.
In class, we’re always reminding our clients to breathe! The more oxygen you can take in, the more energy you will have for the workout. Generally, we inhale as we lengthen the muscle and exhale as we contract the muscle (exertion). For example in our ab work, you want to exhale on the curl-up and inhale on the way down. Being attentive to your breath is a powerful way to focus your mind, deepen your movements, alleviate unnecessary tension, and increase your results.
Women should wear comfortable workout attire that allows for a full range of motion. Typically, this includes leggings or fitted exercise pants, a supportive sports bra, and a comfortable top. Men can wear what they would wear to a yoga or other group exercise class.
Grip socks are worn during all Physique 57 classes for added stability and support. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and a small towel if you like. Forgot your socks? Grip socks are available for purchase at the studio.
At Physique 57, all your senses are working FOR YOU. Our encouraging studio teams welcome you into our friendly community. Our modern, clean and custom-scented (lemon, mandarin and jasmine!) facilities create calm and comfort. Once in class, the upbeat music elicits drive and motivation which elevates your mood, increases endurance, and promotes metabolic efficiency. It’s not just the method that has brought us worldwide fame, it’s the entire studio experience.
Physique 57’s signature class combines cardio and strength for a fierce, high-intensity, low impact workout. You will be guided through sprints, recovery, and flexibility sets designed by Physique 57’s expert trainers to maximize full-body sculpting and toning. Clients from all fitness levels rave about the results they’ve achieved, safely and efficiently, with Physique 57’s unique, fresh, and innovative approach to barre fitness.
The class begins with a series of dynamic movements, upper-body strengthening exercises with hand weights, and push-ups and planks to warm the body up and raise your heart rate. Participants then use the ballet barre for thigh and glute-focused sets, which are a main focus as your major calorie burning muscle groups. The class culminates with comprehensive abdominal sets, a cool down, and final stretch. Lively, fun music helps participants stay focused and work even harder.
Results. Efficiency. Innovation.

The Physique 57 method combines small, pulsing movements (customary to barre techniques) with full-body dynamic exercises to create a standout fitness experience and cover all your fitness needs – cardio, strength, and stretch. Leveraging the experience of teaching clients across the globe since 2006, our trainers offer personalized instruction to improve posture and body alignment and encourage you to work at your optimal level to achieve your best results.

We offer 5 class formats in-studio to provide a variety of levels and options to fulfill your fitness goals:
Physique Barre is the perfect place to start at Physique 57. Our iconic workout blends strength training, dance, Pilates, and yoga using your own body weight as resistance for high intensity low impact intervals.
Physique Mat Pilates is our open level, ab focused workout and a great place to start if you’re looking to strengthen your core without the barre. Improve posture, build deep core strength, and leave feeling longer, stronger, and more balanced.
Physique Strength combines our signature barre workout with heavier weights to build strength, sculpt lean muscle, and support bone density. It’s the perfect next step for clients ready to take their strength to the next level.
Physique Barre & Band enhances our signature barre workout with Bala Bands to create more resistance and deeper muscle engagement. Sculpt long, lean muscles while improving strength, stability, and endurance.
Physique Ignite is our ultimate calorie-burning challenge. This non-stop, fast-paced format pairs heart-pumping barre sprints with light-weight sculpting to accelerate results.
We maintain the structure of the class formats so that you know what to expect, but the variations, choreography, and playlists change every class. This allows the instructors to teach a high quality class and gives clients a consistent experience no matter what time of the day you come to class.
For best results, we recommend taking class at least 3x a week. The good news is that Physique 57 provides total body sculpting and conditioning, so you don’t need to cross train once you begin a consistent Physique 57 program.
Some fitness studios offer only cardio workouts, others offer only strength training. But when you can combine the two in one class, it’s magical. That’s why we created a one stop fitness shop that offers all the elements of a well-rounded fitness regimen.
Studio classes offer the full barre experience. Leave your to-do list at the door and immerse yourself in an inspiring, dynamic environment. With access to all the equipment, get energized by moving to the beat at the barre with tailored instruction, a fierce community, and max motivation. Find a studio.
Virtual classes allow you to access Studio classes from anywhere. Tune in at the time of class and turn on your camera if you’d like to receive personalized feedback. Close your eyes and you could practically imagine you’re at the barre. Stream Live classes.

We have the perfect formula: a combination of strength training and interval training which includes cardio and stretching.
You can see & feel results in just 8 classes. Learn more about the science behind our brand guarantee in our blog. For optimal results, classes should be taken three or more times per week.
Stretching muscles in between intense muscle-building sets is an important part of a Physique 57 workout. In our classes, your muscles are targeted and overloaded to the point of fatigue, then stretched for relief. This allows your muscles to extend to full length and elongate to create that long lean beautiful physique.
But don’t worry, you don’t need to be flexible to find success at Physique 57, though many of our clients see increased flexibility after just a few classes. Flexibility can help increase your range of motion, and the deeper you get in the exercises, the more effective they will be. At Physique 57, the very nature of our strength training exercises allows the muscles to lengthen and strengthen at the same time.
Physique 57 keeps equipment to a minimum: we use hand weights (we love heavy weights for max efficiency!), playground balls, resistance bands, and the ballet barre for support.
Our workouts fire up your body’s own natural strengthening and weight-loss mechanisms, kick them into high gear, and ultimately supercharge them so they become more powerful and efficient than ever before.
Yes! The increased flexibility, core strength, and low-impact strengthening movements of Physique 57 help prevent injury and improve endurance for all other forms of exercise. You will feel stronger and healthier wherever you need to take on a challenge.
Of course! The Physique 57 technique was designed for women, but it is effective for everyone. We have a wonderful mix of Trainers, demonstrating how our method works for all.
Named the “Best Prenatal workout” by New York Magazine, Physique 57 is a safe and effective option for prenatal and postnatal women. Due to the low-impact, form and control-focused nature of our method, Physique 57 is a gentle way for pregnant women to stay healthy and strong and prepare for labor and delivery. For the same reasons, our exercises help postnatal women rehabilitate their bodies after childbirth.
Always consult with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
