Ok babes, who is IN on the barre craze besides me?! You may or may not know that I am a HUGE fan of Alo Moves, and in fact, I have been practicing yoga and barre online with Alo Moves for nearly a decade. Yes, Alo Moves has been around for that long (but they were formerly known as CodyApp). I’m kind of a die-hard fan of both Alo Moves online barre classes and online yoga classes. But my Alo Moves barre reviews are all about their amazing online barre videos and body sculpting barre instructors.

Who are the Alo Moves barre instructors?
Alo’s two bosses of barre are Adrienne Rabena and Emily Sferra. These two ladies will have your booty burning and your thighs trembling, trust me! Barre is no longer just for ballerinas, it's taken the world over, and that's no surprise. I mean, who doesn't want dancers' legs?!
Adrienne Rabena, barre instructor Alo Moves
Adrienne has been with Alo longer than I have been an Alo Moves member (over 8 years)! In the past, she was also a yoga instructor on Alo Moves, but she now focuses strictly on teaching barre.
I’m obsessed with her rhythmic, creative barre sequences and…her voice. You’ll know what I mean when you check her out. The delivery of her sizzling sequences will have you so distracted that you might not even notice that you’re shaking and dripping in sweat. She always has me coming back for more.
Adrienne also recently launched her online barre teacher training certification course called Barre Eclipse and it is seriously worth checking out.
In fact, I'm pretty sure she's still offering a free sneak peek, so be sure to check that out!
Her online barre teacher training is different from the rest because it offers the opportunity to get certified by the best.
Emily Sferra, barre instructor Alo Moves
Emily is a fireball who will ignite your spirit with her intense and high-energy routines. There’s no sugarcoating or downtime during your time spent with this Doctoral student.
Emily lives to empower her students, and there’s simply no way that you won’t find yourself much more sculpted after dedicating just a matter of weeks to her awesome online barre offerings. Expect no apologies as she leads you through her killer virtual barre classes.

What you can expect in an Alo Moves online barre workout
You can expect these ladies to bring the heat using repetitive micro-movements that will tone your tush while incorporating some weights into the workouts to target those areas on your arms that could perhaps use a little tightening, too.
Barre classes are typically high-rep, low-impact, and low-weight workouts. But make no mistake about it, that does not mean they are not seriously sweat-inducing. They have me seriously shaking!
The workout gear you'll need for these barre body burns
Barre classes often incorporate many props into a workout. But guess what…you really don’t need an actual barre. A stool or chair with a high back should work just fine. So no excuses!
A set of hand weights will be pretty much essential for a barre class. Depending on your level of strength, you’ll want to have some dumbbells that are in the 3 lb to 10 lb range. Think weights that you can do overhead presses with and tricep kickbacks. And lots of them. Here's your barre bare essentials list:
- Yoga block
- Yoga mat
- Chair: A typical kitchen chair works perfectly for this purpose. You should be able to use it to put your legs on when you’re lying on the ground on your back AND use it as a stabilizer when you’re standing.
- Dumbbells: Think high rep weight for overhead presses and tricep kickbacks
Non-essentials but nice to have:
- 9” pilates ball that may be used to keep tension between your legs. You can substitute a block or even a pillow for this.
- Sliders: Socks will do
Can a beginner do barre classes online?
Yes, beginners can take barre classes online, simply select the beginner category from the drop-down menu on Alo Moves, and voila—those classes are just for you.
Alo Moves advanced online barre classes
There are also a number of advanced barre classes for those of you seeking a seriously sweaty challenge. These ladies won't leave you serious devotees high and dry!
Alo other great stuff
You may be familiar with Alo Moves and Alo Yoga because of their wildly popular online yoga videos. It's true that they've got a massive library of, dare I say, the best online yoga classes on the planet. In addition to this Alo Moves barre review, I've also thoroughly reviewed their other classes.
If you sign up for an Alo Moves membership, you can access their entire catalog of online workouts, which currently has over 3,000 and counting. If you haven't explored yoga much, it's a great way to complement your barre workouts. And with access to that many classes, you'll never be bored.
How much is Alo Moves monthly?
Alo Moves' standard membership costs $12.99/month, but I've got a special deal for you beauties—25% off the annual membership, which works out to just $96.50/year, or $8/ month.
What have you got to lose, I ask?! That's like 3 lattes (at most) per month.
They've got everything from beginner to advanced barre videos for you to press play on, so there are no excuses not to get into it.
Whether you want to blast your booty, sculpt your shoulders or work on your waistline, there’s a barre class for that on Alo Moves! And for 25% off, what are you waiting for?!
Stay tuned for more Alo Moves barre reviews, as I'm sure I will be jumping into more of their amazing classes in the future.
