Sea Barre Fitness brings barre workout sensation to the beach

Sea Barre Fitness opened Oct. 1 in Lewes. Barre is a workout like no other. It combines elements of ballet, yoga and Pilates, using isometrics to produce a long, lean dancer's body with minimal impact on joints and bones. It very quickly shapes and tones the body. Ellen Spell, Sea Barre owner, says, “It shrink-wraps your body!”

The class is designed for all fitness levels. It is not a dance class; it is a challenging fitness routine. Spell says barre fitness actually gets more challenging the longer people take the classes because they learn to access more of their muscles at the same time. The motto of Sea Barre Fitness is “Love the burn, embrace the shake.”

The first class is always free, so everyone can try barre fitness. Sea Barre Fitness is at the Dave Marshall Tennis and Fitness Club at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in the Plantations East community.
