PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility benefits of yoga. It’s a true fat-burning, low-impact workout, and you’ll get incredibly defined. PIYO was launched by the Beachbody company who also developed the infamous Insanity workout.
Barrefloor is a body conditioning workout combining ballet movements with the alignment of yoga and the precision of Pilates. A dynamic, brisk and challenging workout that sculpts the body from head to toe.
PIYO Pilates Combined Classes are one hour long and are typically made up of 30 mins of PIYO and 30 mins of Pilates.
