Peloton’s anytime, anywhere library of fitness content just got even better: More barre classes to fit whatever you’re looking for that day! One of our Members’ most-requested class types, our on-demand, encore, and live barre classes have been upgraded to ensure there is something for everyone.

If you’ve never tried barre before, you’re in for a treat. Working your muscles in this new, micro-fashion is sure to have you feeling sore in the best type of way, and ensures that you’re not neglecting any one aspect of your musculature that keeps you riding or running strong. Peloton instructors Ally Love and Hannah Corbin, both former dancers, couldn’t be more excited to bring you along for Peloton’s version of barre: One that empowers our Members from all disciplines, and at all levels, to get stronger together.

What to Know About Peloton Barre Classes

Barre workouts are challenging, but not in the same way you might be familiar with from running sprints on the Bike or Tread. “In cycling classes, I talk about global muscles, which include your quads and glutes. But barre works your local muscle groups, which help with your posture, intrinsic strength, and correcting muscle imbalances,” says Ally. “By incorporating small range movements and pulses, and isometric holds,” you’ll achieve these mighty benefits designed to fatigue one muscle group at a time throughout the workout, says Hannah. Hannah also explains, “barre is an attitude workout in addition to working out your body, and we will be creating a fun and vibrant space to explore new ways to push yourself.”

We can’t forget to mention that every barre class you take with Ally and Hannah will be choreographed to the rhythm of the music you know and love from Peloton workouts. “Barre is for anyone who likes fun, dynamic workouts with attitude, set to the beat of the music,” says Hannah.

Why Barre Exercises Are So Great for Runners and Cyclists

We think that barre is about to become your new favorite cross-training activity. Both Ally and Hannah attest that runners and cyclists are so conditioned to moving in the sagittal plane—front to back—but our bodies are meant for and capable of much more. “In order to supplement [your running and cycling workouts] and get stronger, you want to make sure you’re working in all planes of motion...your body is multifaceted, so you want to treat your workouts that way as well,” Ally explains. That means moving sideways, diagonally, twisting, and turning. “The dynamism of barre challenges your body in new ways by isolating and training small muscles that are often overlooked,” explains Hannah. In turn, when you jump back on the Bike or Tread, “you'll find new levels of endurance and strength that you never would achieve by just riding or running alone,” she says.
