Book a barre classAre your barre classes suitable for beginners and adults of all ages?
Yes. Our barre classes are for adults of every age and fitness level, including complete beginners. Every move has options to make it easier or harder, and with no more than nine people per class your instructor will help you find the right level.
Do I need any dance experience?
Not at all. Barre borrows positions from ballet, but there's no choreography to learn and no dance skills needed – just follow your instructor's cues.
What's the difference between barre and Pilates?
Barre blends Pilates with ballet-inspired moves and light strength training, mostly standing at the barre with high reps and small pulses. Mat Pilates is slower and more focused on core control, breath and alignment. They complement each other really well – and one Matwork pass covers both. See our mat Pilates classes →
Can I do barre and yoga with the same pass?
Yes. Barre, mat Pilates and yoga all use the same Matwork pass, and the Pilates, Yoga & Barre membership gives you unlimited classes across all three for £70 a month – so it's easy to mix barre with yoga or mat Pilates in the same week.
