Aerial Fitness

Take your workout to the next level with Aerial Fitness. This exciting class is taught on suspended Aerial hammocks by Instructor Kristen Samson. For more information, please see our Aerial Fitness page.


Gentle Flow Yoga

Gentle Flow Yoga with Sue Ebbeson is a Hatha Yoga class with modifications for all. It is an all levels class, welcome to those who have always wanted to try Yoga, and those who have been practicing Yoga for years. We will flow gently, breathe into each move, reduce stress, and enjoy being with others.

If you have never practiced yoga because you thought you needed to "be a pretzel," then this is the class for you. Together, we will work to cultivate awareness of our bodies through yoga. This class will teach you how to move safely, effectively, and comfortably, while receiving a maximum internal benefit. Gentle Yoga illustrates what muscles you are using, what you should relax, how to breathe properly, and how you can transfer these practices into your active life.

Please bring a yoga mat and a water bottle. Optional: a blanket that can be folded up for sitting poses. Blocks and straps are available at the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Barre? –  Barre is a low impact, high intensity workout.  Small isometric movements target and tone certain areas of your body.  Barre lifts your seat, tones your thighs, abs, and arms, and burns fat.  You can see results in as little as ten classes. 

What do I wear to class? – You can wear anything that you would normally workout in.  Please try to avoid loose shorts or shirts.  You can take class in sticky socks or sneakers.  Please wear indoor sneakers only to class to keep the studio clean.  Sneakers will be taken off during the mat and floor portion of the class. 

Why do I shake? – You are shaking because your muscles in your body have reached the point of fatigue.  We say, “Embrace the shake.”  During class, we fatigue a certain muscle group and then stretch to elongate the muscles while they are warm.  This leads to long, lean muscles. 

Are there different levels of Barre Classes? – At Body Barre Fitness we offer Barre classes designed to work for all students, at all levels.  The positions and movements in Barre class are basic.  The depth that each student works will vary.  Students will be able to experience a full body workout each and every Barre class that they take.   

Do I need equipment to take Barre Class? – The studio will have everything that you need to take class.  All you need is your workout clothing, socks or sneakers, and a water bottle.

When should I arrive? – You should arrive about five minutes prior to the beginning of class. 

How do I get started? – All liability waivers, registration and payment is done when you sign up through our online class schedule

"Patience and persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor. " - Joseph Pilates  (1883 – 1967)   


I have studied pilates mat, theraband and fitness circle classes with Kristen since she started teaching Pilates in 1996.  I was one of her first students.  Kristen is an inspiring teacher.  She has motivated me to continue training in pilates.  She has also inspired me to learn more about my body, care about my flexibility and to care more about my overall well-being.  Kristen is more than my pilates instructor.  She has become one of my favorite people to listen to and be around.  I enjoy her classes and our chats about health and fitness.  Kristen is inspiring!
