If you’re looking for the next therapeutic low-impact workout, barre is where it’s at. A seamless combination of ballet, Pilates, and yoga, barre workouts focus on small, controlled movements like pulses, pliés, and squats to build strength and endurance. If you love the low-impact burn of Pilates, you might just fall for its equally elegant counterpart. While barre has yet to become a mainstream fitness staple in our homeland, a handful of studios are putting it on the map. In this article, we spotlight some of the best places to experience the barre burn, from Asia’s leading studio WeBarre to the community-driven On Good Ground.
