Brian Patterson continues his enlightening conversation with Ella Proietti, founder of Barrella.co.uk and barre fitness specialist with over 10 years of experience teaching this transformative workout.

• Barre fitness combines ballet techniques with strength training and flexibility work
• Equipment like weights, resistance bands and Pilates balls intensify the workout
• Many people attend barre classes for rehabilitation from injuries
• Particularly effective for strengthening glutes, loosening tight hips, and addressing IT band issues
• Barre classes create quick results through challenging isometric holds and pulsing movements
• Class structure includes warm-up, bar work with equipment, stretching, and floor exercises
• The workout targets muscles most runners don't normally engage
• Clients often experience immediate benefits including feeling "taller" after class
• Common misconception that barre is just graceful ballet movements when it's actually intense strength work
• Many celebrities including Madonna and professional athletes incorporate barre into their fitness routines
• Barre instructors develop their own teaching style and adapt exercises to client needs
