Core Harmony is one of Bangkok’s newest boutique studios. Their philosophy? Come as you are, we’ll glow together. The studio offers barre classes in three levels of intensity: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. First up: My First Barre with instructor Yuyee. She was upbeat, supportive, and genuinely present throughout the class. No fancy equipment needed, just a bottle of water and a decent amount of willpower. The moves were small, the reps were high, and my legs were absolutely shaking – but it never once left you out of place. Then came Build and Burn with instructor Pupak. When they say ‘burn,’ believe them. Halfway through class, I was seriously questioning my life choices, not because I didn’t enjoy it, but because of the sheer intensity. My abs hurt for two days afterward, and I mean that in the best way possible. It was ballet-meets-mat-pilates, with just enough rhythm to flow, and just enough repetition to make you sweat. It’s not high-impact, but the struggle is very, very real.
The space itself is warm, sunlit and impossibly clean – with that rare ‘neighbourhood studio’ vibe that feels more like a community than a gym. The equipment is pristine and thoughtfully chosen, supporting the studio’s belief that the right tools help build the right practice. Whether you’re trying barre for the very first time or looking to push yourself with HIIT-style formats, Core Harmony offers the full spectrum.
