Corissa is my go to instructor but you can't go wrong with any of these amazing people.

I take a picture of my mindfulness card at every Bend and Chill class to help me continue to grow and focus on healing!

It was my first time and I wasn't sure what to expect but the instructor was great and I felt supported through out the workout.

I would definitely come back again as the studio was clean, welcoming, and supportive.

I have not been this sore in ages, and I didn't know muscle groups could hurt like this. The workout itself would garner at least 4 stars, but the friendly environment gives this place the 5th. I was really intimidated to try this out, but I was impressed with the instructor and other people working out. Everyone was so kind and did not make me feel bad for needing to take a break from time to time. I'm excited to try it out again!

Beware-The majority of the positive reviews are for barre district, not Barre Collective…read more I am so disappointed with the the new owner of this studio (Barre collective MKE). I had been a client there for 5 years when it was Barre District. Around July of 2022 a new owner took over, classes were being canceled, allot of the instructors were leaving and the name eventually changed to Barre collective MKE. On 8/13/2022 I asked an instructor to guide me on how to cancel my monthly membership because I was unable to do it through the app. She reached out to the new owner to ask her how to cancel, the owner text back that she would take care of canceling my monthly membership and asked if there was a reason, I said I wanted to buy class packs, so I wouldn't be charged $110/ month until they could get the schedule figured out. The only thing that was explained to me was that there was a 30 day notice, so my membership would officially expire 9/13/2022, this was fine. Then in 9/2022 I bought a 5 pack class pack so I could check out the new studio/ classes & instructors. Again the classes were being cancelled and the new class times were not working for my schedule. Fast forward to December 2022, I was looking at my bank account and noticed I was still being charged the monthly fee of $110. I know I should've been looking a my account closer, but I trusted her word and didn't think she would take advantage of me. I then contacted the her asking for a refund or class credits so I could go to the new place. She said no, she said she had no recollection of this conversation and asked how I didn't notice $110/ month was being taken form my account. I reached out to the instructor who then provided me with proof of the text message between her and the owner this message states she would cancel my monthly membership. (see attached) She still will not refund me. I reached out to the BBB, they contacted her with my concerns and after multiple messages she offered to reimburse me for 1 month, she owes me for 4 months, $440.00 Do not waste your time with this studio, there are other great studios in the area that treat there clients with respect.

For a variety of reasons, I would not recommend getting any sort of membership through this studio…read more I had purchased a year membership on a Black Friday promotion when it was still Barre District and the week after, it came under ownership of Amanda (Shame on the owners for running such promotion, knowing it was going to become Barre Collective the very next week). Because the loss of majority of the instructors, Amanda started instructing classes; although she had never gone through the proper training (which is VERY evident, might I add). I powered through even with the loss of my favorite instructors and class times. I didn't think my membership experience could go any further south until Amanda decided to move to South Milwaukee, making it impossible for me to make the limited classes they had available. When I reached out to hopefully get my membership refunded, she was unprofessional and un-empathetic to the fact that I could not make this new location work and said she would only refund me a partial refund of $250. Amanda owes me $700. I would advise against going to this studio, for she may take advantage of you like she has so many other people. I am severely disappointed in the experience I have had at this studio and will NEVER recommend anyone to spend their time or money there.

I felt that the classes were a great workout to, but I didn't like the setup of the room -- due to the direction the windows face, they get blazing sunlight. As a result, the window shades were closed -- I like natural light. To compound matters, both classes I attended were done in the the dark with a blue/black light type atmosphere that just didn't do it for me. Because the studio is in an office building, the bathrooms are outside the studio and managed by the building -- they didn't have soap the time I used them... I really did like the workout, just didn't love the vibe from the setup and the class scheduled didn't meet my current schedule. I do, however, encourage you to go to the studio and give it a try -- you will get a GREAT WORKOUT!

If you have a pre-existing love for classic boxing, this cardio class with inspired moves might be infuriating. I find this similar to commercial yoga sculpt classes which are cardio with yoga-inspired moves. Total body conditioning: high intensity interval cardio.

Luckily, the instructors are insanely supportive (and won't pressure you), and the attendees are various skill levels. There are two main rooms to this facility - one with a soft floor for jujitsu or yoga and one with punching bags, ropes, a big tire, etc. for hardcore training. While I've only had the chance to participate in one class so far, I'll definitely update my review as I have a chance to explore the diverse schedule that's available. I will say, it was a bit of an ego blow trying to keep up with people who have been in the program for a while, but my teacher made sure I understood he was there to help me reach my personal goals, no comparing, no judgement... just one step at a time. Also, he taught me the PROPER way to do even simple things like squats (which I was doing totally wrong). One word to the wise... if you don't have your own boxing gloves, get some! My hands smelled like dirty feet for three days (even after washing them multiple times).
