After several conversations with people in Barre classes at Studio Velo this week looking for a way to chart their progress and find a new lease of life with regards to their fitness I've decided to put this group together to help you all stay motivated and focussed through the colder months (and to keep me on track too!) It is is a closed group and is exclusive to the Barre customers at Studio Velo so join up and post away!!!

The Centre Barre ladies looking pretty amazing today at Studio Velo!!
Join us next Saturday at 1pm for an hour of non stop ballet inspired movement, you’ll sweat wobble and shake but feel fabulous as you leave the studio walking that little bit taller than you when you came in 😁 #lovetomoveyourbody #stretcheveryday #balletfitness #whatsonnewcastle #barre #barreworkout #centrebarre #movetofeelgood @studio_velo_fitness @ Studio Velo

What a fantastic summer, now it’s all over I’m ready for a huge health kick and it’s so welcomed plus I can’t wait to get back to ‘Stages School of Dance’ and ‘Nicola Guald’ to get my ‘proper’ dancing shoes on. We’ve got loads of exciting things to come this autumn as the collaboration between ‘Black’s Barre’ and ‘Studio Velo,’ continues so keep an eye out for, ‘Breakfast Barre.’ ‘Boys at the Barre.’ ‘Barre Stretch’ and a suite of movement classes including Ballet for the ove...r 55’s. In the meantime you can join me for a Barre class at Studio Velo or Dance City as we’re back to normal as of tomorrow!!! (Please note that the 7pm Thursday class now begins at 7.15pm.)

After years of dipping in and out of Yoga using Asana’s in my teaching and conditioning classes and drawing inspiration from Yoga postures and it’s history to develop a new class for next year called, Asana Dance I’ve decided to actually study it properly so as my Barre accreditation is pretty much complete I thought to myself what’s the point of doing all of this research to not get a qualification out of it???As impulsive as ever 😂 I enrolled myself onto a teaching qualification in Ashtanga Yoga alongside a Yoga teaching qualification that allows me to specialise in pre and post natal yoga and children’s Yoga too and I actually can’t wait to start my first assignment, let’s bring even more to the Barre!!!

StructlyVELO tonight at 7pm, can’t wait!!

Just a reminder that there is no Beginners Barre at Studio Velo this evening, see you all at the Barre tomorrow morning at 10.30am 😁💃🤸🏼‍♂️

I absolutely love it when I have a man at the Barre and they leave the studio wanting more. My class was described this week by my latest male Barre convert as ‘Beautifully Brutal’ which is a perfect strapline for Black’s Barre and summarises my class wonderfully.
Men, we need more of you....I’m revisiting my original plan to launch ‘Boy’s at the Barre’ in the autumn but you don’t need to wait for a male only class to attend Barre, just come along to any of the classes at St...udio Velo and give it a go!!
• Barre improves your entire fitness level • Barre exercises help to keep the body youthful since the focus is on muscle density, bone density and muscle elasticity • At the barre, you’re using your body weight as resistance (instead of always using heavy weights) which challenges your core stabilization, posture and alignment. Building flexibility is the number one way men can prevent injury – and for most of us, it’s missing from our training. • Core conditioning — it’ll improve everything from your weight-lifting to your coordination and balance. • Barre classes are proven to improve overall sports performance — whether you’re playing tennis, golf, running or cycling.

I’ve been doing Barre for nearly 4 months now and I cannot say enough how much I love these classes. At first I felt nervous about taking a dance based class on my own but Melissa makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. The environment and the music are so relaxing but you work hard! I don’t posses any natural dancing ability but it’s always a lot of fun and there’s a real chilled atmosphere. I always leave feeling uplifted even though I’ve challenged my body by doing something different and that’s what I’m loving.

I've been to barre classes three times now and each time had a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging workout. Great music, lots of fun and highly recommended.

I loved my first class at Black's Barre. Melissa is a friendly, welcoming teacher. Looking forward to more. ��

I love Melissa’s contemporary dance class, love the choreography and she’s really boosting my confidence after many years of not dancing! Recommend totally!

I can't recommend Black's Barre highly enough. I really love the classes, and regularly leave with aches in muscles I didn't even know I had! It's the best toning and energising workout, and Melissa regularly tailors the class to target requested areas - abs, arms, thighs etc. I love seeing how my strength has improved and my limbs have toned, and lengthened, since starting with Melissa.
