Intense interaction
By Jason Holland
Designed to be adaptable and expandable, the Parallel Stability Barre from Merrithew Health & Fitness can be configured to suit any studio or class size.
Featuring two connectors on each side for stability, the barre allows for intense exercises without fear of tipping.
The nature of the product means instructors can clearly see all their class at once, and with exercisers facing each other there’s the potential for improved class interaction.
