I enjoy Exhale Core Fusion, Xtend Barre, Barre3 and Ellen Barrett's Barre workouts.

I really like The Ballet Physique workouts for a traditional studio barre class. The Exhale Core Fusion DVD’s are really nice as well. I wish I liked Bar Method, but all the workouts are so similar that they end up having a dread factor. It’s pretty much the same push up and tricep moves in every single workout. I used to subscribe to Suzanne Bowen’s Streaming sight, but she hasn’t been updating the site. I read on IG yesterday that she will have new workouts, but they will be led by one of her Barre Amped instructors. Barre 3 offers a fusion workout, so it’s not traditional barre, but they do provide a nice cardio factor and I like their core work. I do feel like there are too many squats, which can irritate my hip flexors. It is nice that they have a variety of instructors, so you can try different people and see who you click with. I really like Christa Joy, Shannon, Meredith, and Ronni (although they removed a few of Ronni’s workouts when they redid the website).

That said, my faves are Physique 57, barre3 and Ballet Physique. For live studio classes, I would recommend Bar Method, as they are REALLY attentive to form and they're all over the country. But honestly, the workouts are quite boring and repetitive, IMO. If you have Instagram, Physique 57 are doing live classes led by instructors in their homes during the corona quarantine. The videos are available for 24 hours. All the studios I've mentioned have free trials of their streaming (along with many other brands), so as Bee noted, you can try them out and see which ones resonate with you. |

I tried Xtend Barre on Openfit. I want to like it..but it moves so fast. I like my Barre workouts to focus on the movement and technique and form. She moves so fast on some of the moves..it's impossible to keep form up.
