Welcome!
Hi! I'm Amber, welcome to BarrePop! I've taught barre fitness since 2014 and was a lead teacher for two Pure Barre studios before starting BarrePop! in the Spring of 2021 (a gift from God🙏🏾). I believe in teaching with encouragement, kindness & a lil push :)
While I've been in the fitness industry on and off for over two decades (I taught group fitness classes at my university rec center, a big box gym, the two barre studios, and a virtual fitness platform before starting BarrePop!) I've learned the importance of language and how it can affect people. You won't find any shaming body talk here, no insults. Instead, the focus is on strength & encouragement. You'll hear plenty of "Y'all are doing so good!", "You are fearfully & wonderfully made" and "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."
I also know the importance of representation. During my time in fitness I have often been the only Black instructor or one of two. You can read more about my experience here. I want to welcome anyone who wants to BarrePop! You don’t have to look a certain way (or have a lot of money). Remember, “You are fearfully & wonderfully made” and there is space for you. Just come with an Open Heart, Ready to Sweat & Pull out your Inner Strength.

About BarrePop!
What is BarrePop!
BarrePop! is a pop-up barre fitness class & community that Gives Back! A portion of the proceeds goes towards providing FREE pop-ups to mamas who've miscarried. We also donate non-perishable food to local food pantries. Learn more in Give Back .
About the Method
BarrePop! is my own low impact barre method & technique that's rooted in traditional barre movement (think pulses, moving the size of an inch, isometric holds & constant core connection) with energizing cardio boosts all while moving to the flow of upbeat hip hop & r&b music (the playlists are everything!) This method helps to build strength, encourage proper alignment, break a lil sweat & have FUN!
Where do you BarrePop!
BarrePop! has been in Washington DC, Virginia (my home state), Live Zoom classes & now anywhere through BarrePop! Studio! Check out IRL Pop-Ups for updates on upcoming IRL BarrePop!

♡ Friendly Note on Yoga Inspired Moves in BarrePop!
Hi! I wanted to acknowledge that we do use a few yoga inspired moves in BarrePop!, specifically in our Flow Series. While we do not incorporate yoga's traditional spiritual practice in BarrePop! I wanted to recognize it's origin and the beautiful people & Eastern cultures it originates from.
