Building more lean muscle mass and raise the resting metabolic rate, can help to produce more energy and expend calories. 

• Core conditioning exercises are done throughout the workout. Increased core strength helps to provide a firm base of support for virtually all movement. Strength and coordination of the core muscles is important when working out and also in the activities of daily life. 

• Barre Bootcamp creates body awareness. The ballet-based training techniques help to build body awareness with constant dialogue or messaging between the aspect of the mind and body.
