This was the best workout I’ve had in a long time. It was powerful, energizing, challenging and peaceful all at the same time. I am a stay at home mom, and I hold so much stress within myself. Not enough people tell each other that they are great, and when Marnie said those thoughtful words at the end of the yoga part I literally burst into tears. I probably sound totally dramatic, but this workout really helped me feel good physically and mentally!

[sabinescholle]

Never one to comment. But I've done this workout about 20 times now and it still burns like crazy. One of my all time favourites. Please bring this instructor back with more barre!

[margaretanteros]

This Marnie person is a fantastic instructor. I usually don't pay much attention to the instructor and what they have to say beyond the workout exercises but she just completely jumped out of the screen and into my living room. What an incredible presence you have, I highly appreciate the heart and soul you put into this, it made it just that much greater! Coming back to this one for sure.

CORONA VIRUS MAY BE TEARING UP MY NEIGHBORHOOD BUT I'M TEARING UP MY ABS. LET'S GET IT, LADIES!!! 👏🏽

[staceyjackson]

I’m STILL enjoying this workout 1 million watches later!! ❤❤❤
Can I adopt Marnie pleeeeaase?? She’s so inspiring…. even helped me achieve a hidden 6 pack 😅
Best lower ab workout I’ve ever done and no sore lower back.
Marnie, you are a legend, thank you personally for introducing me to home workouts, it’s been a life changer ever since that rememberable 2020 ❤

This work out truly is the BEST all round body sculpting, challenging yet SAFE to do work out where you are not at a risk of injuring yourself. I have been doing this work out consistently 2 times a week since November 2022 and I am noticing that my body feels and looks great and I feel good in my skin!! This 30 minute work out is more challenging than a full hour barre work out that I do at my local gym and yet what I love most about it is that it does not fail to incorporate the right amount of stretching the body needs after such an intense work out. I am a physical therapist and so I truly appreciate the amount of body awareness and postural awareness we need to do some of these exercises. If I were to describe this work out in one word I would say it's a "smart burn". Very effective!!!! Thank you for this Marnie Alton and Hannah!

[intrepiddwarf]

I've done this no less than 10 times and I'm going to keep going back for more. This is one of my happy places where I feel powerful, peaceful, harmonised and full of intention. Thank you Marnie and thank you Anna! Please bring back Marnie for more Barre Belle workouts!

[SandyMassone]

With my Barre gym closed due to the coronovirus, I was a little stressed about getting my workout in. I'm grateful to have found this video and was pleasantly surprised at how challenging it is. Thanks to Marnie and POPSugar, I still have a way to keep my body strong and my mind in the right mindset. With grace, gratitude and greatness, I will continue keep coming back to this video as a way to start my day.

[boardgamefangirl]

WOW! What a workout. Didn't expect it to be as heart pumping as it was. MORE from Marnie please!

[anaavila]

After 10 months without exercising because I was depressed AF and people who truly understand what does it feels like will know that is not easy during those times taking care of yourself. Today I decided to do this workout and I’m feeling happy and accomplished. Thanks PopSugar for sharing this free exercises with us!

Danke Danke Danke
Für dieses wunderbare Workout.
Es hat mich nach langer Trainingspause von Nackenschmerzen, Rückenschmerzen und Unbeweglichkeit befreit.
Ich werde es noch öfter machen. Es tut einfach sooo gut.
Tausend Dank
Marnie ist eine grandiose Trainerin.

[hoavo]

It has been 3 years but still loving this workout <3 especially the calming and soothing posture, attitude and message at the end ! Big thanks to Marnie and the Popsugar family <3 <3 <3

[nicolagothard]

I never comment on videos but this was the best 30 min workout ever! Please do more barre no equipment(never heard of it before today)

[aliburch]

I love the way Marnie acknowledges the burning oh god please top pain and tells us it will be over soon, but to keep pushing through. She's the perfect blend of pushing and being gentle. Loved this!

[midnightoiltube]

"Going forward in grace and gratitude. Show everyone your greatness." What a line

[sofialily]

One of the best workouts I have ever done. I have been feeling very tense in the last few weeks and this has fully allowed my body to stretch and do the exact exercise my body needed. As the workout finished I noticed myself feeling emotional and burst into tears. It is exactly what I needed today. Thank you very much, will recommend.

[fatxasian]

More of Marnie please!! This was so tough but somehow relaxing at the same time, loved her commentary throughout and the element of relaxation/yoga (music was paired well too!) at the end

[franceseconLaura]

This woman is AMAZING! This workout is so engaging and that's what I like! It's just 30 minutes but so intense that you don't need to do more!! Plus, Marnie is so powerful and beautiful and professional!!!! Sh's GREAT! I absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you!

[YaddaYaddaYana]

Marnie is absolutely amazing and I still keep up with her more recent workouts, but this one will always be my favorite. I love everything about it. The intensity, her cool vibe, the beautiful cool down. I would love for her to go back to this style.

[ladybugu]

Love how you show a less stressful version for bad knees.
