Ballet Body Fit in Edinburgh
Our Ballet Body Fit classes are a nice alternative (or addition!) to Barre classes and offer a dynamic workout inspired by ballet movements, blending cardio and toning for a full-body challenge. Perfect for anyone looking for a graceful yet effective fitness session, these classes strengthen, sculpt, and energise in equal measure. Ideal for all levels, they bring the elegance of ballet into a fun, accessible workout.
What is Barre Fitness?
Barre Fitness is a low-impact, high-intensity workout that uses the ballet barre for support and balance. It combines ballet-inspired movements, Pilates techniques, and targeted strength training to sculpt and energise your body. This full-body approach helps improve posture, flexibility, and overall muscle tone while keeping your workout fun and dynamic.
Barre classes at Marpole are very upbeat, sweaty occasions with lots of laughter… especially our Barre, Bites & Bubbles class.
