Was so excited to try something new, woke up at 5:30 for the 6 am class & unfortunately, I ran a few minutes late because I had to wait for a train! I reached out as soon as I realized I would be late via phone call but received no answer. I texted as recommended & was unfortunately welcomed with a simple "nothing they can do", I missed the class. read more

Happy 1600th Review!! I have been saving Barre Element for this milestone review since they have been my latest love as the fitness industry is allowed to slowly reopen with strong restrictions. My heart aches for the fitness industry as I began my early career for a fitness company's corporate office for 5 and a half years. Many of my former coworkers and close friends experienced hardships due to the pandemic. On top of that, my former go-to Barre studio in Irvine, Cardio Barre/Ever Barre did not survive the economic downfalls of the pandemic... Thankfully I was able to find Barre Element through the Mind Body app, and I absolutely love it!! Prior to signing up, I called the business to make sure they were for-reals ready to open. Liz answered my call and she was extremely sweet and professional. She informed me of all of the safety precautions and what I needed to bring to the class. After my conversation with Liz, I was so reassured and positive about the studio that I committed to the Intro 1st Month Unlimited ($99). Covid Safety - Everyone takes their temperature at the door. Clearly marked 6 ft distance in the studio. Limit capacity to 8 students. Extra efforts into sanitizing, air filter and uv light disinfecting. Covid liability waiver. Virtual classes also available on Zoom if you are not personally comfortable with going back to the studios yet. For any first timers, you will need grip socks. Available for purchase if you do not already have your own pair. Definitely bring water!! Mats are available, but I like to bring my own. Be ready to experience soreness after your work out!! There is a board on the far end of the studio indicating which fitness props you need for the day, such as weights, resistance bands, weight ball, etc. Don't be late!! And let your instructor know if you have any injuries/issues prior to class. I have been to so many classes and I love all of the instructors and the other ladies who take class. Everyone is absolutely lovely and we all send out positive vibes, encourage and love to each other. Shout out to my Barre BFF Fran!!! We met in barre class quite recently but if you see us interacting, you would think we have been BFFs for everrrsssss. Here are a few of the classes and instructors I have encountered. In chronological order to be fair :) Barre with Ci'Monique - My first first first class here and first real work out after months of being lockdown in the pandemic was with Ci'Monique! I love her energy. This class is designed to help tone and lengthen lean muscles. The combination of movements help strength your core with added elements of cardio and sculpting exercises. Her energy and music selection really helps keep me motivated and pushing to do my best. Classic Barre with Mary - Less cardio and more traditional dance movements. This class aims to lean and lengthen. Mary is super sweet, but her work outs will still kick your butt! Barre Intensity with Christina - I loooove Christinaaaa!! Her classes are tough, but she always reminds you to listen to your body and provide alternatives for more or less intensity. This class combines pilates, dance and functional fitness. It is a full body work out and you definitely leave feeling mentally and physically stronger. Barre Intensity with Vanessa - Similar style as class mentioned above. When I got to Vanessa's classes I can expect a good toning work out because she is preparing for her wedding and I am preparing for my friend's wedding so I really appreciate the arm leaning movements despite how much I melt in class. She sticks it out with us the entire time to reach her own goals. Yoga Sculpt/Yoga Sculpt EXTREME with Celia - I love Celia so much but her work out definitely made my fat cry. I sign up for classes based on my personal schedule and availability so I didn't read when I signed up for. When I came to the Yoga Sculpt I already died, and apparently I signed up for the EXTREME version the following day. This class is a combination of Barre and PiYo, so there is a lot of isometric exercises with added vinyasa flow. It may seem like simple movements, but your body will definitely feel the burn. In addition to loving all the classes, the instructors and fellow barre ladies, Element Barre has an amazing merchandise section. I have purchased cute cute shirts that Liz has designed, a decent amount of grip socks and even cute fashionable hot pink weights that I use outside of class too. I just love everything about this place. I am so grateful to have discovered this hidden gem to help me pursue my personal goals and just be the best version of myself I can be. I always catch feelings for physically super fit guys, so I better stay in somewhat decent shape to keep up :) read more

This studio and all the instructors are fabulous. So happy to become a member. They have a large variety of classes. Zumba is so much fun.

Barre Non! Probably one of the best experiences your mind body and soul will have through sixty minutes of your day. Bare yourself in the element of Pilates, yoga and PiYo just to name a few and a few new surprises coming soon. It may look easy on video platforms but once your in it, the magic and the difficulty comes to life as your body goes through a journey of strengthening and sculpting with cardio and low impact movements thrown in the mix! A boutique studio that pays personal and caring attention to your needs and what your and our goals are. Once you step in your greeted with positive vibes and caring professionals. Different classes are available for different fitness journeys and the instructors are awesome! Amanda was a true motivator and went over basic lingo to follow along through the class. My classmates were also encouraging and made me stretch and push it to the limit! Behind the scenes and running things was Liz and she handled the rest. She went over the ways they keep this place as safe and inviting for regulars and new comers. Class is limited and social distancing is in effect. They sanitize all of their equipment after each class so you'll know it's safe. That's my take on this positive journey,Peace read more

Barre Element - Barre Classes Near Me - La Verne, California

I was a founding member here from 2013 when they opened as Xtend Barre. It's changed hands twice now, with the second owner (Michelle, who was fantastic) moving away from the franchise and creating her own brand with the help of her wonderful staff. New ownership has changed the studio beyond recognition. COVID made the studio go virtual and then reopened on a limited basis when the state relaxed closure orders briefly in June. Despite current orders to stay closed they continued to offer in studio classes while only mentioning virtual classes on their social media and covering the front window with a heavy drape. I requested to freeze my account and the owner, while honoring my request also chastised me for having to pay processing fees. I canceled my membership immediately after that. A month later she messaged me again, rather incoherently, telling me not to come back after seeing an Instagram post where I'd referenced the "studio that doesn't really exist anymore." No worries. I have no desire to patronize a business that demonstrates this level of unprofessionalism and chooses to operate as normal during a pandemic. read more

I have been at BE for about a year now, this place is AMAZING. I started attending when I was going through some personal challenges and this place helped me so much, emotionally and physically. The classes are challenging, fun, and cleansing. The front t staff is so helpful, friendly, and comforting. The instructors are intentional, focused, and attentive; they get to know the clients and provide assistance throughout the classes and provide modifications when needed. The owner, Liz, is absolutely amazing. She's supportive, authentic, and simply wants the best for the clients. I could not ask for a better place. BE is empowering, centering, and the place to be when one is serious about body, mind, and spirit growth. read more

I have been coming to barre element for almost a year and I love the variety of classes, the cleanliness of the studio, and the professionalism and attentiveness of the instructors. The schedule has time slots that work for every schedule including my own which is tough to find because I'm a bartender. It feels like a community which is different than some other studios I have been a member at. The classes are challenging and fun, which is what I always look for at a workout studio. They have barre, barralates, trx, yoga and Pilates fusion classes! Truly a wonderful studio, if you haven't checked it out you need to! It's a hidden gem. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Liz and the staff at Barre Element!!! The instructors bring amazing energy into the studio and they offer such a wide variety of classes! This has become my home away from home and I would highly recommend joining this amazing community!! read more

Had a terrible experience at Barre today. Never and I mean NEVER have I had a trainer that is not present to her members needs. My class was a regular TRX with Celia. first and last time with her. Long story short I left after 22 minutes in class. I love this place it is amazing and do recommend it. What happened today will not discourage me from being a long-term member as I was before. I do understand that we can have off days but not when your lack of being present to your job affects the member. read more

So happy I have found this boutique barre studio. After trying all the diff classes I bought a 1 yr membership. My home away from home. The owner Liz is very hands on and deeply passionate about her business! A life saver for me allowing me to keep my sanity thru these hard times. After a month I have already noticed I am stronger and have more defined muscles!! THANK U LIZ read more

Just started two weeks ago and lost 7lbs already! I've met about 4 different instructors and everyone is so different but super fun and nice. They keep it interesting and makes the class session go by real quick! I'm a beginner at barre and they made me feel welcome, comfortable, gave me tips on how to improve my postures and also how to prevent injuries too. Michelle the owner is so kind and helpful as well. She's not snooty like some other places I've called for information, I could tell that she really wants to share her enthusiasm and love for barre. I'm not the athletic type, or coordinated much but I am totally addicted to barre now! So glad I found this place :) Hope it doesn't get overcrowded after everyone reads my review lol. read more

I love this studio! The instructors and owner are super kind. Very challenging workout. I also love how there are different kinds of classes offered now. read more

This studio is amazing!!$ the owner, the teachers and the clients! They have so much to offer and such great energy!!

When I began at Barre Element, I was really a novice to the group workout. So, I had all the typical fears. But, the "yes you can" attitude, and competence of the instructors, and the welcoming and encouraging culture that embodies Barre Element, just blew those fears out of the water. The workouts are hard - but the instructors keep the modifications coming. Every class and teacher are challenging and unique - as unique as the clientele. I love exercising with people of all different fitness levels, body types, and ages. Thanks to Barre Element, I'm stronger and healthier than I've ever been, and am inspired to keep growing and challenging myself. Go to Barre Element knowing and believing that with each class you'll learn more, increase your strength and flexibility, and exceed what you knew you were capable of. Stay to be part of a community of people that inspires one another toward their personal best. read more

A down to earth boutique studio that's welcoming to everyone. The classes are challenging and bring effective results. I've tried Pilates and this takes you to the next level; builds length, strength as well as stamina. Specially now the virtual classes during COVID have been empowering for body and soul Women Empowering Women read more

THANK GOD for Barre Element. I know it has a new owner since 2019 and since then the vibe has been amazing. During the off and on again quarantines I was able to continue working out and staying healthy at home with their virtual classes. Thank you so much Liz (owner) for providing an opportunity for me to still exercise and stay connected with you all. Love you ladies!! read more

Love this place! Liz has to be the sweetest person in the world! She goes above and beyond to help you. Not a lot of business owners are like her. Work got complicated and I wasn't able to go to my classes as much as i wanted, so I had to cancel. Liz helped me, and didn't give me issues or problems. She was sweet, caring, and understanding. I will be back! If you never tried barre or need to get back in shape, you have to try this place out! They have a lot of classes and great instructors. read more

This studio is truly an amazing place. The community it builds is essential to my fitness journey. I feel that I'm heard and provided encouragement. I'm a beginner yet I find that learning barre is exciting and an excellent way to get a great workout. The staff is very welcoming and I can tell they love their job. The owner Liz is so sweet and encouraging, she treats me with so much kindness. All the classes can be modified and in all honesty they are so much fun. The location is great, drinks are available for purchase, and the studio offers essential and quality grip socks for sale. The equipment is clean and well organized. Classes are so easy to sign up for. Just call them or go online. I highly recommend becoming a member. read more

This place is a must if your trying to lose weight or tone up. I like the structure they have going on here not only that but the ladies there are HOTT read more

I love barre element and all the instructors! I had never done a barre class before joining barre element and every instructor was super helpful and very kind! I've noticed a difference in my body and also feel great! It's a stress reliever but also a great total body workout. Everyone in the studio is welcoming and I enjoy every class! Also they have so many different classes to choose from and every barre class is different so you never get bored. Michelle, the owner is super sweet and always willing to help! I highly recommend barre element to anyone considering joining. read more

This is a total body workout- I am always dripping with sweat by the end of class, BUT you move the entire time and I've never once not felt challenged. For people who are self conscious about moving or not knowing the steps, its a very welcoming environment, and for hardcore gym junkies, you can usually step it up and modify positions to give yourself the challenge. My abs, thighs and arms have never felt so fatigued, but that's a good thing! I started to see results after three classes. I'm afraid I'm becoming addicted ;) read more

Barre Element is a first a workout based on ballet, with other elements (pun intended!) added in like dance, boxing, and Pilates. But it's so much more than a workout; it's a community of encouraging, supportive, and kind women. The atmosphere is something truly to experience and hard to explain without first hand experience. I recommend it to anyone wanting to change up your workout or willing to try something new!! If you want to try it out, first class is free - on me! read more

Love love LOVE this barre studio! The instructors are amazing, and the classes produce serious results. As someone who does not enjoy traditional gym workouts or running, this has been an amazing way for me to get in shape while having fun. I love the fact that no class is ever the same, and the combination of cardio, weights, and pilates/ballet technique keeps things interesting and challenging. I come from a dance background and enjoy being able to put my old training to use, though dance experience definitely isn't needed. The studio itself adorable and clean, and the staff are very welcoming (the owner, Michelle, is a sweetheart!). I have taken many barre classes at various studios, including Purre Barre and Bar Method, and Barre Element is by far the best! read more

I've been attending this studio for over three years. It is a wonderful and empowering community. I highly recommended this studio to anyone who wants to feel empowered, strong and both physically and mentally healthy. read more

Love everything about this barre studio. Take a class and you will find out exactly why. I feel so strong every time I take class. Each of the instructors are so helpful and guide you towards getting the most out of your workout. The 60 minutes fly by, and every workout is different. Give barre a try. You'll love it! read more

I'm on my second month of classes at Barre Element and I am so happy with my decision to join! I can't say enough how friendly and welcoming everyone has been. I had never done Barre prior to coming here, but never once have I felt judged for being the new learner. And the workouts themselves are so fun and challenging (in a good way!). I like the rhythm of the classes and that they're a mix of weights, body weight, stretches and cardio. I highly recommend this studio, and definitely give a few classes a try if you're new to it! Thanks Barre Element! read more

Love this studio! They make you feel like family. The owner, Michelle is the best. I'm so glad this place exist. The instructors are awesome. You can tell they are dedicated and are excited about fitness. They are not only professional but also very personable and care about helping you meet your fitness goals. Thanks BE team! read more

very happy I decided to try this place out! All of the instructors are very encouraging and I always appreciate when they come over to me to help me fix my form. If something is too difficult, they offer modifications. The classes are a full hour, which is awesome! The management team Liz and Michelle have been so considerate and kind to me. So far I've taken almost 20 classes and no new class feels like a repeat of a previous one. I always feel so accomplished at the end of each class. It's a wonderful way for me to end my day with a full-body workout alongside some of the nicest people. read more

This barre feels like home! Everyone is so kind and I always feel so empowered every time I leave a class. They have a variety of classes that I never get bored with! I really enjoy the TRX that Toni Bushey teaches and love the encouragement that Ci'Monique Green provides throughout the workout. I never feel judged at this center and I think that's the most important thing when working out. I'd highly recommend anyone to give it a try and decide if it works for them! read more

I was recently invited by my daughter-in-law to attend a Restorative Yoga class at Barre Element in Laverne and I wanted to thank you for an amazing experience! I work at a local university in a position that at times can be very stressful, and as everyone is these days, am always busy. Rushing forward in life, I had no idea how much I needed that class! With the candlelit room, the soft music, those wonderful heavy blankets, and gentle voice of the instructor, everything on my mind, the stress and concerns I did not realize I was carrying, just rolled off my shoulders. It's hard to express what I felt other than it brought back a feeling of youth and simplicity (high school being over 50 years ago, that is quite a feat!). Thank you Barre Element for offering a renewing of my inner self, a stopping of time and life responsibilities, and allowing me to pause and just relax and enjoy the total ambiance of the class. It was amazing... read more
