Barre Effect

This Dubai-based studio is extending a special invitation to its female clientele, encouraging them to introduce their male counterparts to a unique barre class experience. While traditionally popular among women, Barre offers substantial benefits for men, contributing to enhanced fitness, core strength, and flexibility—areas that some men may overlook in their workout routines.

This Saturday at 12:15 pm, bring your husband, boyfriend or male friend to participate in Barre Effect’s signature 50-minute class. The class is designed for all fitness levels and abilities, aiming to promote greater awareness of the Barre discipline among males and providing an opportunity for women to engage in a workout session alongside their male companions.
