Barre and Fitness at Firefly
BARRE
What is Barre?
Barre is a full-body workout that fuses strength training, cardio, flexibility, balance, and core conditioning into one fiery package. It’s inspired by ballet, but forget the pink tights—this is barre, Firefly-style: heat, heart, and plenty of sass.
​
You’ll pulse, squeeze, shake, and sweat through small but mighty movements that light up muscles you didn’t know you had. Then we layer in bigger, functional moves to crank up the intensity (and the heat—we keep it around 90°F so your muscles stay warm and your sweat flows).
​
Barre is low-impact but high-intensity, making it perfect whether you’re brand-new or a fitness junkie. Expect your muscles to shake, your posture to improve, and your confidence to rise.
Why We Love It
-
Low-Impact, High-Intensity: Kind on joints, tough on muscles.
-
Full-Body Burn: Glutes, core, arms, stabilizers—nothing gets left out.
-
Better Posture: Core strength + alignment = standing taller, feeling stronger.
-
Fun AF: Pumping playlists, electric energy, and a few laughs between grimaces.
-
Mobility + Flexibility: Move better, not just stronger.
-
Stress Relief: Mind on the movement, endorphins on high.
The Firefly Spin
Barre was born in the 1950s as a dancer’s way to heal. At Firefly, we honor those roots with less perfection, more sweat, and a whole lot of self-love. Our barre blends Pilates, yoga, strength training, and functional fitness for something fierce yet forgiving.
​
Whether you’re a dancer, desk-sitter, or curious first-timer, you belong here. Every class meets you where you are and nudges you just enough to grow.
Our Barre Ethos
We believe fitness should feel good in your soul—not just look good on your feed.
-
We celebrate the shake and ditch the diet talk.
-
We flex for joy, not judgment.
-
Every body, every level, every time—you’re welcome here.
Our classes emphasize movement as joy, inclusivity as a given, and strength as something you already carry inside.
Principles of Barre
-
Isometric holds: Strength without joint stress.
-
Small range of motion: Targeting tiny, powerful muscles.
-
High repetition: Volume over load for endurance and strength.
-
Alignment first: Prevent injury, improve results.
-
Core engagement: Stability + balance in every move.
-
Stretching included: To lengthen and recover.
Come Shake With Us
At Firefly, barre isn’t about perfection—it’s about power, joy, and community. We rebel against toxic fitness culture and celebrate every win, big or small.
Come for the burn. Stay for the vibe. Leave stronger, taller, and just a little more badass.
SCULPT
Think: gym workout energy - without having to think.
Sculpt is our full-body strength class built around intervals and circuits that change by day and instructor. You’ll use heavier weights (5–20 lbs), resistance bands, sliders, and bodyweight to build strength reminders you’ll carry off the mat and into real life.
​
Classes are typically 60 minutes, but life happens—if you need to leave early, just let your instructor know, cool down properly, and slip out quietly. We’ve got you.
