What is Stroller Barre Anyway?
The official textbook answer:
Stroller Barre® is a 60-minute cardio and strength interval class designed to improve posture, stability, and mobility. The workout combines moves inspired by barre, ballet, Pilates, fitness, and yoga to help you regain your posture and alignment and strengthen your body from the inside out! Stroller Barre will help you reconnect with your body, increase flexibility and develop the core strength needed for motherhood.
But here's a better {REAL} answer:
“Stroller Barre is a wonderful addition to my fitness routine! The focus on toning via small, repetitive movements helps me work on muscle groups I didn't even realize I had! I love being able to mix-it-up between Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre to keep the routine fresh and interesting. I've had Maya, Heather, and Adrienne as instructors and they all know how to make a hard workout FUN, every time!”

What's an actual Stroller Barre class like?
A typical Stroller Barre class draws on concepts associated with barre, classical ballet, Pilates, yoga, and fitness. Each class will offer the opportunity for full-body conditioning that gets mamas on the move with strength and cardio intervals perfectly suited to the mom’s individual needs and desires. It is a stroller-based workout that incorporates exercise bands, a Core Ball, the environment and fun with baby to create a unique workout experience. We incorporate the best of Barre-inspired movements with our proven Stroller Strides format. Whether you're new to exercise or looking for a great toning session to add to your current routine, this class will be catered to your individual needs by your nationally certified instructor.
At the end of each Stroller Barre class, we want each mom to feel a deep connection to her body along with a feeling of improved posture and alignment. As in Stroller Strides, she will also feel a deep connection to her fellow mamas and her baby.
All Stroller Barre classes end with a flow-and-go stretching session. You will leave feeling motivated and inspired to take on your day!

“After my son was born, I really needed to find a fitness program that helped me strengthen and tone as well as provide an option to have him with me. I found Stroller Barre and it was a blessing! At first I didn’t think it would be as good as studio barre but I soon realized it was even better! It’s such a good focus for moms specially and really helps to achieve those “tougher to tone” areas after having a baby. I recommend it to all of my pregnant and new mama friends, it’s the best!”

"My goal was to tone and strengthen my body after baby. Barre with Maya helped me do just that. I am 17 lbs. down and feeling stronger and firmer than ever. What I did not expect was the community and support to keep me going. I am surrounded by a cadre of strong, encouraging mothers who continually motivate me. This is one of the best decisions that I have ever made."
