Ella Proietti , founder of Barella.co.uk, shares her journey from marketing executive to Barre fitness specialist and movement expert, explaining how this ballet-inspired workout can transform runners' performance and prevent injuries.

• Transitioning to fitness at age 40 after a decade-long marketing career
• Starting with Zumba classes where other participants mistook her for a professional dancer
• Building a fitness business gradually from zero attendees at her first class
• The history of Barre fitness, developed by ex-ballerina Lottie Burke in the 1930s
• How Barre combines ballet positions with Pilates precision and strength conditioning
• The structure of a Barre class: warm-up, bar work, floor exercises and stretching
• Why Barre specifically helps runners: strengthening glutes, improving posture and core stability
• Common issues in runners: tight hamstrings, weak glutes, poor core engagement
• How the class accommodates all fitness levels with modifications and options
• The community aspect of group fitness: "People who bar together, stay together"
