Tempo Barre | Pulse | SE17
Tempo Barre Pulse is a high-energy, rhythm-driven Barre format designed to challenge both strength and stamina.

Dynamic, powerful and sweat-driven, Pulse delivers a more athletic take on Barre without losing precision.
Who is it for?
Ideal for students who enjoy intensity, structured challenge and working with props. Perfect if you like longer sequences, minimal breaks, and leaving class feeling seriously worked.

Up-tempo playlists, resistance and prop work, extended barre sets, pulsing holds and sustained combinations that build muscular endurance and cardiovascular demand alongside coordination and control.
Why join?
- Build strength and stamina
- Increase workout intensity
- Experience a faster-paced Barre class that keeps both body and mind fully engaged.
What to Wear to Tempo Barre Classes?
Wear comfortable, form-fitting activewear that lets you move freely — such as leggings or stretch shorts and a t-shirt or vest. You will warm up quickly, so breathable clothing is recommended. Grip socks are advised for hygiene and safety. If you don’t have a pair, they’re available to purchase at the studio. Water and towels are also available to buy or hire on-site.
