The ballet barre fitness trend is a fast growing phenomenon all across America. We are not talking about ballet dancers and performers but anyone who wants to get in shape. When I first started Custom Barres, my vision was to create the finest studio quality ballet barre. My ultimate goal was to develop customized ballet equipment that was elegant, stylish, and inspired by the beauty and creativity of this beloved art form. But now the ballet barre has come to mean so much more! Everywhere I look people are buzzing with the latest fitness craze, the barre fitness experience. I love ballet and performance art and I am so excited to see that the ballet barre has found its way into gyms and barre studios for more than just ballet dancers!

The ballet barre fitness craze is a low-impact workout that leans, tones, and strengthens making it a fantastic workout for any body type. Classes focus on isometric holds combined with small range of motion movements targeting each and every muscle group. Barre fitness has been inspired by dance conditioning, yoga, pilates, meditation and many other fitness areas. The overall goal is to break mental barriers, and get strong, toned and lean while having a great time doing it. Barre fitness is said to burn fat, carve muscle, and reshape your body. What could be better than that?

Today, I am so thankful and fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful new fitness craze. My custom ballet barres can be found in gyms and studios nationwide from Equinox Gym, Facebook Fitness Center, Gold’s Gym, and other fantastic organizations. Today, our line of barres includes the largest variety of wall mounted, floor mounted and freestanding barres that are available in many colors and can be personalized with name, logo or custom decal. We are committed to continuous development and innovation. The ballet barre is revolutionizing fitness for so many people and it is so exciting to see.
