The Frame Fitzrovia studio is the brand\u2019s biggest studio to date and we were lucky* enough to go to the preview before it opened to the public. <\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Frame

The fabulous (and torturous – in a good way!) Gede Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n

Barre is misleadingly tough. If you sign up for a \u00a0HIIT class you can predict your fate (sweaty, exhausted, thirsty, red-faced), but with barre your brain tricks you into thinking \u201cyou\u2019ll be fine…you have something to lean on\u2026just remember to point your toes…\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

One of our favourite Frame instructors, dancing queen Gede Foster (pronounced \u2018Geddy\u2019 and definitely not \u2018Jeedee\u2019) effortlessly took us through our paces in a 45 minute Frame Barre class, where resistance bands, ankle weights and squishy balls aided us in one of the most gruelling workouts I\u2019ve experienced. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never incorporated resistance bands into a workout, you need to start! They look harmless and like they wouldn\u2019t do more than give you a bit of a stretch, but Gede took us through some exercises that really tested our triceps, chests and shoulders and I\u2019ve taken these exercises away to do them at home in my lounge! No other equipment is needed, other than a device to blast some music to muffle your whimpers. <\/span><\/p>\n

We then took the bands to the barres, and here\u2019s where things got gnarly. With the use of the bands, the barre and one ankle weight, our legs, arms and bums were on fire, and even with a barre to lean on, all you have is your reflection in the studio mirrors to critique how low your pain threshold is and temporarily take the edge off what felt like the slowest countdowns…\u201c..3…2…1\u2026 and now the other side\u2026.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The mat workout required the use of the squishy balls to be held between your thighs (your legs really do get the brunt of these classes) and the continued use of the ankle weights. Just when your legs have had enough, it\u2019s time to wake up your ab muscles, (or lack of) to give them their fair share of of annihilation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n

Overall, despite the comedy walking that occurred the next few days after the class, Frame Barre is one of the best classes to really wake up those micro-muscles that you never knew you had (or in my case, still haven\u2019t got\u2026), and even though there\u2019s no exertive jumping around, you will feel that your body has been through an effective workout which will help with your posture, balance, stamina and strength – everything you need to be a ballerina, (or to get through daily life\u2026). <\/span><\/p>\n

More Information<\/span><\/h4>\n

What is it?<\/b> A barefoot, low intensity* class which works your entire body by targeting the micro-muscles. These classes increase strength and flexibility and get you a few more demi-pointes closer to getting a dancer\u2019s physique.<\/span>
\nWho is it for? <\/b>Anyone looking for a decent strength and stamina workout without the jumping around or the use of heavy weights. These classes can be adapted for pregnant attendees. <\/span>
\nWhere and when? <\/b>Frame Barre takes place at various times of the week depending on the studio locations\u00a0<\/span>
\nHow much:<\/b> Drop in rate is \u00a314\u00a0<\/span>
