Mindy Kaling on Pop Physique:

“If I could do one workout for the rest of my life, it would be a two to three mile run followed by a Pop Physique class…Pop makes me feel flexible and strong. It is super hard and uses many ballet moves,” Kaling told The Chalkboard Mag in 2014. “I always pretend I’m Natalie Portman in Black Swan while doing it.” So do we Mindy, so do we!

Barre3

Who loves it: Molly Simms, Madonna

You might not see either of these ladies in a Barre3 class but they are big fans of the workout. Molly Sims loves Barre3’s online classes and Madonna hired founder Sadie Lincoln for private sessions in New York.

Physique57

Who loves it: Kelly Ripa, Hilaria and Alec Baldwin, Selena Gomez

Kelly Ripa on her experience with Physique57:

I am totally hooked on this sculpting class I discovered at [New York City gym] Physique 57. It’s transformed my body in ways I never thought possible. I’m a short person, but I’m becoming longer and leaner. The class works your glutes, your abs, and your obliques. It’s all about building muscle, then stretching it out.

Is Portland the Barre Capital of the World?

By Barre Culture, Barre3, Just for Fun, Pure Barre One Comment
Hundreds turn out to Barre3 in the Park, in barre capital Portland.

Hundreds turn out to Barre3 in the Park.

Could Portland, Oregon be the barre capital of the world? Now before you say, “What about New York or LA?” Hear me out. Yes, LA alone has at least 6 Pure Barre studios in the city and immediate surrounding area. However, they also have a large enough population to support a franchise in nearly every neighbourhood. Relatively, Portland has a population of about 609,000, which is one-sixth the size of Los Angeles and yet they are home to more than a dozen barre-specific studios.

No doubt the biggest player in Portland is Barre3, one of the major barre businesses in the fitness game. Along with their flagship studio and headquarters, they have five additional studios, hosting an average 280 classes per week.

It’s not unusual to see hundreds came out to their annual Barre3 in the Park event, or wake up at the crack of dawn to attend a class before sunrise at any one of their 6 locations each week.

The city is also home to Pure Barre, The Bar Method and Xtend Barre, 3 locations from Portland barre franchise Industrial Barre and some independents like The Pilates Barre and Mod Physique. That is roughly one barre studio for every 43,000 people. No matter which neighbourhood you live in, you’re more likely than not to be a stone’s throw away from a barre business.

Whether or not you agree with Portland being the barre capital of the world, there is no denying that Portland is full of barre fanatics.

Why is barre so popular in this mid-size city?

Is a Portlander more likely to value physical activity? Are they ahead of the curve? I have a feeling that Portland might be a more fit conscious community but if someone from Portland could chime in, that would be great.

Do you think Portland is the barre capital of the world, or would you give bragging rights to another city? Let us know in the comments.

Ellie Kemper Teaches Ellen The Bar Method

By Barre Culture, Barre3 No Comments

Apparently Anna Kendrick is a fan of Pure Barre, while Natalie Portman spent 8 hours a day for 6 days a week at the barre, to prepare for her role in Black Swan.

For actress Ellie Kemper, she turns to The Bar Method to get into shape. On a recent appearance of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellie Kemper taught Ellen some valuable barre moves. Hilarity and shaking ensues! Have a watch.

Why is Ellie Kemper a Fan of The Bar Method?

What attracted the Kimmy Schmidt star to the barre? She was quoted in a SELF article saying that she used The Bar Method and SoulCycle for triathlon training. She would use these classes to complement her running.

In a 2016 interview with nymag.com, Ellie also had this to say about The Bar Method:

“For strength, I’ll do a lot of Bar Method classes, but I don’t get as much of an adrenaline rush. I’m not all jazzed up. It’s a totally different kind of exercise, and especially for toning and strengthening. I haven’t done enough yoga.”

Are there any other notable celebs who are fans of The Barre Method or barre in general, that you know of? Leave us a comment below.
