The holidays are just weeks away and it’s time to update the annual barre gift guide. If you have every intention of getting your shopping done early, now is the time to take care of the barre fans in your life, or cough, cough, yourself.
Use this curated list below to get a head start on your shopping. Below you’ll find some of my favourite brands and some items that would make any barre fan pleased to receive this year.
Access to a video library or subscription to online classes
There are so many options to choose from that we thought it would be better to just let you see the options yourself. Check out the post on different virtual classes and subscriptions to find one that works for you.

Bring the studio to your home with at-home barre options
If you’re interested in investing in an at-home barre solution, there are lots of options on the market, from portable and freestanding barres to wall-mounted options.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. For that, I don’t want to play favourites and would rather have you find a solution that works best for your budget and the amount of space you have in your home. Here’s a link to a recent article I posted that compares different options.

Brush up on your knowledge of barre
Maybe you love barre class so much that you want to know more about the mechanics behind what you’re doing in class. There are not too many public-facing manuals on the market that allow you to take a deep dive into the barre exercises. At least in my experience, if I ever wanted to get my hands on a Pure Barre or Bar Method training manual I would need to go through their proprietary training.
The good news is that Barre Variations offers a downloadable manual that anyone can access. This is not meant to replace teacher training but will help give you a better understanding of different exercises and modifications among other things. If you want to take your love of barre to the next level but are not ready or interested in becoming an instructor, this manual might be for you.
