    Barre Fusion is a dynamic full body workout that combines ballet inspired moves with elements of Pilates and fitness/strength training with focus on functional movements. We use large, full range movements and some small controlled movements while maintaining a traditional Barre’ class focus on form, posture, control, and balance. Compound exercises, simple movement combinations and music keep class lively, interesting and challenging.

    Instructor Bio: 

    Deborah Yates, dancer and veteran fitness pro/National  Aerobic Champion, has traveled the world sharing her love for dance based fitness classes and today continues with her "Inspire Dance". Many years ago, embarking on the adventure of combining her love of ballet and fitness, discovered the genre, "Barre" and has been in love ever since.

    "I spent several years managing group fitness programs for several Bay Area sport resort clubs which were very challenging, inspiring, and a lot of fun. I also had the opportunity to train, mentor/coach new group fitness instructors interested in joining the fitness world and always found this process to be an extremely rewarding experience". "I look forward to passing on my love , experience and knowledge in fitness to Barre enthusiasts looking to join the ranks of this wonderful world of Health & Fitness"!
