Named for its founder, Carole-Anne Barr, Raise The Barr Fitness, Teignmouth, opened in September 2018 with a pun-tastic name and a fabulous female-friendly range of dance and fitness classes.

In this accessible central Teignmouth location, you can do everything from dance fitness to step aerobics, along with yoga classes, each concentrating on a different aspect of yoga, including vinyasa, flow and hatha plus Pilates, from intro to intermediate level.

If you fancy a high energy class, go and try Fitsteps dance fitness, or step aerobics with body conditioning. Or go get yourself black-belt ready at their karate club.

We love the sound of the monthly candlelight yoga session, ideal for a defrazzle, and an opportunity to immerse yourself in slow vinyasa yoga followed by a fully guided meditation.

We also like the competitive prices and the fact  you won’t have to sign up to a lengthy, expensive membership. You can even rent the studio yourself, and if you have an idea for a new class, Carol-Anne is all ears. Strictly brilliant, darling!
