CLASSES AT GROOVE BARRE
All of our classes at Groove Barre Markham are designed to be safe, effective and to help you build your functional fitness. Soon you’ll be noticing you’re standing taller, moving better, and everyday tasks become a little easier.
BARRE CLASSES
Our barre classes incorporate easy to follow and fun ballet inspired choreography weight lifting with pilates and yoga. High repetitions with light weights help you sculpt long, lean muscles while protecting the joints. We are fitness form focused and breath aware. No dance experience required.
Signature Barre
This barre class is a fusion of ballet inspired dance, yoga and Pilates designed to define and lengthen your muscles. We use light weights and bands with high repetition to build long lean muscles. This 60 minute low impact high energy total body workout will leave you feeling strong and energized.
The inside scoop: We really mean it when we say NO DANCE EXPERIENCE required! Groove Barre is ballet inspired — it is NOT ballet. It is fitness form focused, helping you to move better in your body and to feel improvements quickly.
Cardio Metre: Moderate 
Burn Barre
Think of this class just like Signature, but with more props. We add in extra equipment to help you feel the burn even faster!
The inside scoop: Any Burn class can be a Signature class by electing to not use the prop! We encourage everyone to work at their own pace!
Cardio Metre: Moderate
Off the Barre
This class follows the high energy pace and tempo of our Signature and Burn classes, but without the barre. A greater emphasis is put on balance, core, and mat Pilates work.
The inside scoop: Kind of a mash-up between Signature with our On the Mat class.

Signature Express Barre
Everything thing you love about Signature, but without the time! We have you in and out in 45 minutes, leaving no part of your body untouched.
The inside scoop: If you’re short on time, this is the class for you. Also, a great option to get you going in the morning and on with your day.
Cardio Metre: Moderate
Barre Yoga
Everything you love about Signature, but with an increased emphasis on vinyasa yoga, incorporating isometric holds and greater breath awareness, bringing strength and stretch to your barre practice. No dance or yoga experience necessary. This 60 minute low impact total body workout will leave you feeling balanced and grounded.
The inside scoop: If you love Signature, but want even more yoga, this class is for you. Playlists are also a departure from our usual dance mixes. In this class you’ll hear it all – classic rock, indie alternative and maybe even some country!
Cardio Metre: Moderate
PILATES CLASSES
Our mat based Pilates classes slow down the tempo and are Pilates form-focused, allowing you to develop a deeper understanding of your powerhouse. You’ll bring this into your barre work for even greater results!
On the Mat Pilates
Define, lengthen and tone with this yoga and Pilates fusion, incorporating traditional Pilates exercises, band work, and yoga, done mostly on the mat. A greater emphasis will be placed on core work in this class. This 60-minute low impact workout will leave you feeling renewed and powerful.
The inside scoop: A slower tempo than most Groove Barre classes, this a great class to come to when you’re feeling a little lower energy. The entire class is on the mat. And while it’s a quieter vibe, make no mistake, you’ll still get a killer workout. Basically we trick you with calm music, and then you forget that you were ever feeling low energy!
Cardio Metre: Low
REBOUNDING HIIT CLASSES
Did you know rebouding is almost zero impact? You can get an amazing high intensity cardio workout without stressing out your joints. And it’s seriously FUN! It’s hard not to smile when you’re bouncing up and down. And you won’t pee yourself. This actually strengthens your pelvic floor.
Bounce and Sculpt HIIT
This rebounder class is a cardio and muscle sculpting full-body workout. Groove Barre Bounce classes deliver heart pumping cardio with High Intensity Interval Training. Our HIIT embraces Choose Your Challenge, just like our barre classes – there is an option for everyone.
