2. Barrecore Classes
With quick results (in as little as three weeks) it’s easy to see why Barrecore has become such a popular destination for fitness fans. Merging low impact moves with strength training, each muscle in your body is targeted for an efficient but safe reshaping. Classes are 45 minutes and in that time you can expect the incredible experts to work your core and legs while taking you through some simple stretches and ballet moves. Tight for time? Opt for the express class for a speedy session.

3. FLY LDN - Barre
A new addition to London’s yoga scene, FLY LDN has a whole range of classes on offer, with Barre being our firm favourite. Drawing on moves from both yoga and pilates, the sessions use light weights, balls and resistance bands for extra intensity. Despite it being quite a challenging class, all levels can get involved – just be warned, you’ll leave feeling a little sweaty and sore, but in the best possible way. Make sure you book in advance too; Barre is one of their main sell-out classes.
4. Heartcore - Barre 55
Fans of slightly more energetic workouts should make a beeline for Heartcore’s Barre 55 classes. While it’s mat-based, you’ll still pack in unique moves at a continuous flow which will boost your metabolism for hours after, helping to develop leaner, stronger muscles in the process. You’ll leave feeling fully stretched with a calmer mood to boot.

5. Discobarre Studio - Disco Barre
For a full-body workout and a core of steel, book into Discobarre Studio for one of their sculpting barre classes. A 60-minute session incorporates sweat-breaking ballet exercises set to a seriously fun playlist that may even distract you from just how hard you’re working. Your bum, thighs and arms will reap the benefits fast. And don’t worry – the moves have been designed to be easy and enjoyable, so you don’t have to be a seasoned ballet pro.
