Xtend Barre, a fitness approach that uses a traditional ballet barre as the foundation for a full-body workout, is opening a 3,200-square-foot flagship facility in Boca Raton on Friday, May 1. The state-of-the-art facility (21200 St. Andrews Blvd, Suite 11) will feature two studio spaces and the brand’s new design and look. Andrea Rogers, Xtend Barre’s founder and creator (and a Boca resident), will be among the instructors teaching classes at the new facility.

The classic 55-minute Xtend Barre class blends elements of dance, ballet and Pilates, for a full-body and high-energy workout that strengthens, lengthens and chisels the body, according to the company’s website.

Xtend Barre’s Boca Raton facility will offer more than 70 classes each week. Classes include the classic Xtend Barre and variations, such as: Circuit 7, which has a boot-camp, high-intensity feel; Xtend Suspend, incorporating suspension training; Xtend Yoga Fusion, integrating yoga for a touch of Zen; and Roll & Release, featuring self-massage and circulation-boosting with a roller.

Xtend Barre has become an international workout sensation, with more than 170 studios worldwide. Among the fitness brand’s celebrity fans: Diane Kruger, Jessica Hart and Drew Barrymore. This year, the fast-growing company, with a network of 50 franchisees, is expanding in London and Los Angeles, according to a media release.
