Class Descriptions
Open to all levels
If you are new to Inspire East Cobb or barre in general, we suggest starting with SIGNATURE BARRE classes to learn the fundamentals of our form, posture, and terminology.
If you are an experienced barre devotee you, too, will also benefit from SIGNATURE BARRE classes because they are a great opportunity to reinforce your attention to alignment and movement patterns while developing a meaningful connection with your instructor and our community. You may also love BARRE STRENGTH & BARRE BURST as they are our more advanced barre classes and move at a faster pace with less instruction and more choreography.
Signature Barre - 45 & 60 min
All SIGNATURE BARRE classes are founded in our roots: total body, low impact, and form-focused, using elements of ballet and pilates strength building and yoga stretches to create a highly efficient workout.
SIGNATURE BARRE classes target your major muscle groups through functional movement contractions allowing for a balance of strength and flexibility work. In SIGNATURE BARRE classes you will perform dynamic movements with just a few props (free weights, ball, sliders) and your own body weight to build long lean muscles. Core work is strategically threaded throughout each section of class to help keep your abs and alignment in primary focus. The SIGNATURE BARRE classes are designed with you in mind: they are barre classes that you can do for life.
Barre Strength - 45 & 60 min
Our BARRE STRENGTH classes are geared to build muscular endurance by concentrating on engaging your major muscle groups under a sustained time of tension. You will focus on the same muscle group (legs, glutes, abs, shoulders, etc…) multiple times through a variety of motions and movements to keep both your mind and your body guessing! This class is more advanced due to flow of pace and amount of time under muscular tension. Beyond free weights, we will also use resistance bands and sliders to help challenge your muscles and efficiently reshape your body.
If you are a runner, cyclist, or yogi this class can be especially essential to help you build even more power and muscular explosiveness.
Barre Burst - 45 & 60 min
If you are looking to improve your cardiovascular endurance through low impact, yet explosive moments this class is for you! BARRE BURST is our fastest paced class. It transitions quickly between upper and lower body exercises to elevate your heart rate and increase your metabolic capacity. BARRE BURST encompasses the moves you love from SIGNATURE BARRE and amplifies them with a bigger range of motion and speed to make them even more impactful for your cardio workout.
HABITS
In this interval-based training class you’ll use free weights, resistance bands, sliders, and/or TRX to challenge and build your muscles.

You will perform a mix of stations, METCONS, EMOMS, AMRAPS, and chipper style workouts.
There is a strong emphasis on intention, form, repetition and - of course - fun.
