A great way to get fit and stay in shape, Barre is based on the strength and conditioning component of ballet dancers\u2019 training.<\/p>\n<p>The workout also\u00a0helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk all while improving posture.<\/p>\n<p>However, be warned, while Barre is described as &#8216;low impact&#8217; it does not mean it\u2019s &#8216;easy&#8217;. Each element of the workout is carefully choreographed to target and isolate specific muscle groups and will have you feeling the burn in no time &#8211; in a good way!<\/p>\n<p>Clare Fisher, owner of Surrey-based Ballero, believes the 40 plus age group are consistently underserved and under prioritised in terms of the health and wellness industry and that Barre can considerably help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we get older, we need to listen to what our bodies need in terms of exercise,\u201d Clare explains. \u201cEspecially as we approach the peri-menopause and menopause, activity that protects our joints, helps us maintain bone density and improve flexibility are so important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Client feedback demonstrates the efficacy of this exercise method. Regular Barre client Katy was astonished to realise that she no longer needed her regular chiropractor appointment after consistently training with Clare at the barre. Not only did she feel considerably fitter and healthier she ended up saving hundreds of pounds on expensive chiropractor appointments.<\/p>\n<p>Ballero classes also aim to encourage and motivate with fun, informal classes in a non-competitive environment.<\/p>\n<p>To quote another Barre client Kim: \u201cFridays class is my weekly treat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lover of Pilates for years, Clare discovered the joy of Barre workouts in 2019. She found the strength and conditioning benefits to be so brilliant that she trained with the fabulous Barreworks studio on their accredited instructor training programme. Then just as she became qualified, Covid struck.<\/p>\n<p>Undeterred, Clare continued to push ahead learning significant new IT skills along the way and delivering regular classes online. A phased approached has seen Studio classes return safely and successfully as Covid measures have been relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>After working so hard to launch and maintain Ballero in 2020 and early 2021, Clare was delighted to receive the honour of making the finals in the 2021 Spelthorne Business Awards, receiving first runner-up prize in the \u2018Best New Start Up\u2019 category.<\/p>\n<p>Clare currently teaches both Studio and Zoom classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from her home studio in Lower Sunbury and evening classes at the Riverside Arts Centre in Sunbury-on-Thames.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: Sarah Tooby Photography<\/p>\n<p>CONTACT<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"tel:07970039105\">tel: 07970 039105<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@ballero.co.uk\">info@ballero.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>www.ballero.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>Insta: ballero_ballroomandbarre<\/p>\n<p>FB: Ballero: Ballroom and Barre<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barre is the new buzzword in fitness.
