barre3

Barre3 at Oakway Center blends ballet-barre, yoga, and Pilates into a low-impact yet high-energy full-body workout that tones, lengthens, and elevates cardio endurance. Led by expert instructors, each class guides participants through mindful, isometric movements, cardio bursts, and breath-focused techniques—designed to challenge every fitness level while nurturing mind–body balance. The studio fosters a welcoming environment with small class sizes, thoughtful modifications, and a supportive community atmosphere.
