Barre Definition 4+

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Barre Definition! I took interest in the program after seeing an ad for the prenatal workouts while pregnant with my 4th baby. After having 3 kids in 3 years prior to this pregnancy, my core was absolutely destroyed. I knew I needed to get strong for this pregnancy and delivery, or it would be much more difficult. I was hesitant, because I hadn’t worked out in about a year and didn’t want to overdo it. I decided to do the free trial week… and loved it! I have never had a better barre workout, even in with nice gym memberships. Plus there are yoga and Pilates based videos, or even just stretching. Each video is labeled with the intensity level and what equipment is needed. This is so helpful on days when I am not at my best and just want a simple workout. I only have managed to get in about 2 workouts per week since 17 weeks. I am now 39 weeks and feel great! My core is stronger than before this pregnancy and I can actually feel my abs engage for the first time in years. I am confident I am ready for delivery. I am also excited to start the new postnatal program soon. For a tiny fraction of what I would have spent to get back in the gym after baby, I am already in great shape and can continue after my little one arrives. All this to say, just try it! I definitely have no regrets and will recommend it to anyone I know looking for a good exercise program.

I first found this app when scrolling Instagram. I was in the beginning stages of pregnancy and was an avid weight lifter and pickleball player unsure of how my workouts would look later on in my pregnancy. The app was reasonably priced so decided to switch up my training and try it out. Honestly, I was not expecting it to be as challenging as it is! I guess I expected something minimal and low intensity because I was doing the pregnancy program but I was SO wrong. As someone who has been lifting weights for years, I thought using body weight for some these workouts would be a piece of cake but I can truly say that I have not had workouts this challenging. The program has a great mix of yoga, barre, pelvic floor exercises, and pilates. I started the pregnancy program in my first trimester and now I am halfway through my third trimester feeling more flexible and stronger than I did before I was pregnant! This app has been a huge support during my pregnancy journey and brings a huge relief that I dont have to worry about what exercises are safe during each stage of pregnancy. The app is super easy to use and Jacquelyn is so motivating and encouraging in all of her videos. I will definitely continue using this app after my pregnancy, I can only imagine how much more challenging the non-pregnancy programs will be and I'm excited for that!

I’ve always liked to try new workout programs but I usually burn out on them quickly and move on. This is NOT the case with Barre Definition! Jacquelyn makes you want to come back every day for a new video or challenge. She is so encouraging and makes working out feel fun and accessible. I love that the app allows you to download the videos so when you’re traveling and don’t have access to wifi you can still get your workout in. I have the app on my phone and laptop but use it most on my TV - it’s so nice that there is this feature for the app! Overall I like that Barre Definition gives you many options to choose from including a different monthly calendar and fun challenges too. Jacquelyn has a class for every type of season/mood you and your body are in too. Whether you are on your period and are looking for slow movement, or ready to challenge yourself with the 100 ab reps, you have some sort of class at your fingertips to match how your body is feeling. Jacquelyn helps remind me of what my body is capable of doing and doesn’t shame me if I struggle with some of the movements. I always feel encouraged to just try my best. I can’t wait to try out the recipes she has added to the app as well! The subscription to Barre Definition has definitley been worth it!
