See all the Barre Burn workout moves »

A few weeks ago we had the chance to do a Beyoncé-themed workout at Equinox Toronto, and, like any opportunity that involves Queen Bey, it was a no brainer to give it a try. The class, led by Nike athlete Eva Redpath, was a special version of Equinox’s very popular Barre Burn workout. Barre Burn is a ballet-inspired full body workout that seems easy at first, but quickly melts into a core-strengthening sweat session. So the all-Beyoncé soundtrack makes sense: You’ll definitely leave the class feeling confident enough to star in your own “Partition” video remake.

If you’re like me, sometimes the hardest part of going to the gym (besides actually going to the gym) is figuring out what to do once I get there. But now, thanks to Nike, that “what to do at the gym?” guesswork is no more. The sportswear juggernaut recently launched the Nike Training Club (NTC) app and with over 115 workouts and 120 drills available, it’s basically like having a peppy personal trainer in your pocket.

For those who like to work up a serious sweat, get thee to Eva Redpath’s Body Conditioning by Dancers class series ($169 for an 8-week series, evaredpath.com).
