The Barbell Ballerina

Build a body and career that lasts.

The Barbell Ballerina is a progressive strength training app built specifically for ballet dancers — designed to train with intention, improve performance, and build long-term resilience.

Traditional cross-training focuses on preserving the ballet body. The Barbell Ballerina is designed to build the body ballet actually demands.

Created by professional ballet dancer and certified strength coach Lili Pfeifer, The Barbell Ballerina bridges the gap between traditional ballet training and athletic performance through structured, progressive programming tailored to the biomechanics and demands of dance.

Inside the app: • Progressive strength training programs • Performance-focused workouts • Personalized onboarding • Workout, strength, and performance tracking • Guided video demonstrations and coaching cues • Training built specifically for ballet dancers

Train to: • Improve jumps, turns, and extensions • Build strength, flexibility, power, and control • Reduce injury risk and build resilience • Step onto every stage at your best • Sustain a longer, healthier career

Whether you train in the gym or at home, The Barbell Ballerina gives dancers the athletic foundation to perform at their highest level — without having to figure it out alone.

This is performance training for ballet — built the way it always should have been.
