We offer Xtend Barre classes which combine Pilates and dance to lengthen, strengthen and stretch you from the top to bottom and from the inside out.
The Xtend Barre workout is the premier ballet barre workout... Dance and Pilates amplified.
Andrea Rogers is the creator and owner of the Xtend Barre Workout and has been a professional dancer and choreographer since the age of 18. She's performed with various celebrities and recording artists such as Enrique Iglesias and Aaron Carter. She's also traveled the States with several professional dance companies and performed as a principal dancer for Walt Disney World Co.
In the early 2000s, Andrea was certified to become a classical Pilates instructor. She believed in the Pilates principles (stabilisation, concentration, control, flow, breath, and precision) and observed the long-term results in her Pilates clients. In an effort to provide cross training and seek better results for her clients, she began to incorporate dance elements and music into her Pilates sessions in order to offer challenges in coordination, rhythm, and cardiovascular fitness. By raising her Pilates clients to a vertical position and diversifying their range of motion, Andrea found greater results by offering Xtend Barre than by maintaining a routine of Pilates alone. Most importantly, her clients were gaining energy, enjoying elements of dance, and having fun!
The Xtend Barre philosophy is simple. We teach a multi-level class geared to challenge bodies of any age, gender or fitness background. We offer exercises that can be modified for beginners, prenatal clients or clients with injuries, but that can also be amplified for advanced clients that are looking for an extreme challenge.
The Xtend Barre system sculpts the body proportionally so that all body parts are equally challenged. This total body workout serves to strengthen, lengthen and stretch the body from top to bottom, from the inside out. The end result is a long and lean physique, wihtout the added bulk. Developed from a dance/Pilates background, the Xtend Barre Workout combines the amazing results of dance with the principles of strength and safety of Pilates.
The Xtend Barre Workout has been sought after by national spa and fitness centres and Pilates devotees from the US, Brazil, Canada and now Australia. Clients range from the new enthusiasts to seasoned fitness pros and include men, women, teens, Pilates practitioners, professional athletes, celebrities, and dancers. The Xtend Barre metod is best summarised by a long-time client: "If Pilates sculpts your body, Xtend Barre chisels it."
New clients are free to book into any of our Xtend Barre classes on our scheduling website https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/home.asp?studioid=32660.

Our Xtend Barre Adagio classes are run at a bit more deliberate pace than our "regular" Xtend Barre classes and thus might be more suitable for clients with injuries, pregnant women, and new clients who would like an introduction to Xtend Barre.
All classes must be pre-booked an paid for via our webpage prior to attending as there are limited spaces.
