We're warming up

We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.

Strength for Knees and Thighs

Isabella McGuire Mayes
Stronger legs. Safer landings. Better lines.
Strength For Knees and Thighs | Classes | Online Studio | Isabella
Class Info
About this Class

If you struggle to fully stretch your knees, feel wobbly on landings, or lack push in your jumps – it could all stem from your thighs. This class targets the muscles that support and stabilise the knees, helping you train strength where it really matters. We’ll use ankle weights, resistance bands and dumbbells to challenge your lower body and build power from the ground up. Strong thighs and stable knees don’t just improve performance – they protect you from injury and give you cleaner lines and more confidence, too.
