I've been working out at Body By Barre at the Studio in Venice, Florida for two years now, and thought it was about time I give BBB and its instructors a big shout out. Simply stated, BBB offers the best workout ever! No copycats here. Every instructor has their own style, but each one makes their class fun and challenging. Reach a plateau? Not here. Get those heals higher! Up your weights, just one pound! Tighten that core! It's all about challenging yourself. Thanks to a friendly, judgment-free environment, BBB attracts an equally friendly clientele (both ladies and gents), from teens through their seventies, who are as eager to celebrate your achievements as they are their own. And did I mention results? Expect a stronger core, toned muscles, and yes, weight loss...it's all up to you. As owner, Kim professes, YOU are in charge of your workout. Many thanks to Kim and her amazing crew; Michele, Teresa, Britany, Olga and Yoga guru, Colleen. You ladies rock my world! read more

The business changed hands in March 2025. The previous owners Kim and Dave were very customer focused, easy to talk with, and hired highly skilled and friendly instructors. The new owner, Laly, does not possess a friendly style and would rather lecture a long term member and change past practices to meet the documents in place. Laly has every right to implement stricter practices; however she should let all members know of the change. As a customer who paid for classes in advance and is and told time ran out (I lost 3 paid classes) I find this to be a poor business practice. In previous years, the rules were not strictly adhered to by Kim and Dave. Customers were allowed to use all classes that were paid in advance. The lecture and attitude was unnecessary by Laly. I found another place and unfortunately I will miss the instructors at B Fitness, who are all do a wonderful job and the customer friendly atmosphere created by the former owners, Kim and Dave. read more

I discovered the Body by Barre Studio in a local newspaper advertisement. I was looking for an exercise program as the woman who lead the group I was in left the area. I went to the studio and the owner, Kim Hackett, was excited to tell me about how the program works and what it will do for the body and the mind. I was eager to try it and once I had my first class, I was hooked! Stretching, cardio moves, positions borrowed from ballet done at the barre, all done with high energy music to inspire and have fun with! Each instructor puts their own spin on each class and offers alternate moves for anyone with physical limitations. This is exactly what I was looking for, and the best exercise is the one that you'll do. Everyone who comes to class knows that they will get a full range workout, attention and tweaks, and a community of like minded women who are serious about their health. I love barre and all it has done for me! read more

Body by Barre is by far the most addictive workout ever, and the best kept secret in Venice, Florida!! The atmosphere is fun, clean, well equipped, and very supportive. All instructors are knowledgeable, and provide safe instruction while motivating each client with the attention they need to quickly see results. The owner Kim is a dedicated professional who provides excellent customer service, teaches amazing classes, and takes the time to greet everyone by name. She genuinely cares about her clients, and it shows. The workout is incredible, anyone can do it, and you see results super fast. I'm talking results in increased strength, muscle definition, and weight loss in weeks, not months, which is a huge incentive to show up for class! Body By Barre also makes you feel amazing! I have more energy, focus, and am very grateful for the part Body By Barre has played in helping me get my mojo back! Thank you! read more

I give this place a 10! It's such an amazing workout and every instructor brings something new to the the 'barre' every workout. Energy is great, instructors make it fun, and you leave feeling like you just had a great workout and ready for the day. Easy in, easy out..no waiting in lines or looking for parking and a really nice sized class..not too big and crowded like some gyms. The instruction is very thorough so anyone out there feeling timid about trying it for the first time....this is THE studio for you! Michelle keeps you laughing and sweating at the same time...double wammy 2 for 1 deal! Sort of a "kick butt comedy show"! I've been going for over a year and a half and so glad I found this place...I actually look forward to my workouts in the morning. read more

If your looking for an amazing yoga and fitness studio, you need look no further. I have taken many yoga classes, due to great personal loss it has been many years, and tough to return to yoga. Upon arriving to the studio you will find that it is welcoming, clean, and professional. There are classes for all levels, if it's your first time or your 5000th time or someone like me who has just hasn't remembered it's been so long. Probably the best class I have ever taken, Colleen O'Sullivan knows her profession, Very informative and welcoming, as well as the other staff as I observed. It appeared that most everyone who left felt centered, energized and restored. Body by barre is the best. read more
