Danielle Smith and Jennifer Travelsted founded Barre Co. to share their passion for barre workouts, which combine ballet techniques with intense cardio drills to forge stronger, more flexible, and more elongated bodies. The method borrows elements of the Lotte Berk method, Pilates, ballet, and controlled breathing to help lift glutes, carve lean thighs, and tone abs, backs, and arms. Together with their team of fitness-savvy instructors, Jennifer and Danielle lead intense 55-minute group classes that reward sweat-misted groups with bodies firm enough to support tutus of steel.
