Don’t miss Orlando’s newest social fitness event - Barre & Brews at Ivanhoe Park Lager House!

“Thank you for being so positive! I was smiling the whole time!”  That’s the kind of energy Melyssa Allen brings to her newest event collaboration: Barre and Brews at Ivanhoe Park Lager House! This new social fitness experience is equal parts movement and meaningful connections where you can enjoy a high energy barre class, post-workout brews, and plenty of chances to make new friendships!

Led by size inclusive fitness specialist, Melyssa Allen - founder of Melyssa with a WHY, LLC | Lifestyle Medicine Coaching - the event welcomes participants of all fitness levels to experience a 45-minute barre class that requires no equipment or previous experience, making it accessible and easy to follow for everyone. The barre class focuses on low-impact, full-body movements that build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance balance in a supportive and encouraging environment. After the workout, attendees can unwind with a complimentary craft beer, seltzer, or mocktail courtesy of Ivanhoe Park Lager House. Get ready to meet other like-minded individuals in a fun, laid-back atmosphere!

“It was such a great time! I had so much fun and loved the class! Can’t wait for the next one!” -Kira, event participant

With the support of the brewery founder, Glenn Closson, Melyssa hosted her first paid fitness series at the flagship Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company location back in 2019 that kicked off her entrepreneurial journey. After taking a hiatus from teaching fitness classes, she was excited to bring a new fitness format and event to the Ivanhoe Park Lager House location. Melyssa says, “Not only do we get to enjoy the spacious indoor (and air conditioned!) area of the brewery before it opens, but we get to build a community of people who appreciate balance - enjoying movement and a good beer, together!” This event embodies that mission by blending fitness, fun, and community in a way that makes wellness a good time for everyone!
