"High intensity" and "low impact" aren't phrases that apply to many workouts—in fact, they seem like totally opposite ends of the fitness spectrum—but Barre3 Frisco offers both in its signature exercise class. The mash-up of Pilates, yoga, and ballet barre helps to tone muscles and torch calories without taking a toll on your body.

That's because instructors focus on minute, functional movements that target specific muscle groups. Using different props, including the ballet barre, they provide the support you need to safely move through the strengthening moves. But that doesn't mean the workout is any less intense. Visit Barre3 Frisco's website to sign up for one of the upcoming, trendy classes not far from Orion McCord Park.
