This deserves an updated review and because it is under new management. Natalie has been the new manager of Studio Barre for years! We just celebrated 9 years since their opening!! I'm excited and thrilled to be part of the Studio Barre Society. I also just received the most classes taken in a year! How crazy is that? Goes to show how much I love it here. Woot woot! I've taken my fair share of barre classes at other studios and 'Studio Barre CV' has been by far the most challenging and most rewarding. I just keep coming back. It really is the best workout to tone and lean out your bod. This isn't a walk in the park type of workout either. You will sweat. You will shake. You will quiver. You may even cry. It's a love and hate relationship and I'm always up for the challenge!! Even the guys that come find it challenging. The pain is manageable and there's always room for improvement. You just get better and stronger overtime. It's for all fitness levels and you work out at your own pace and challenge yourself both mentally and physically. The staff and members are amazing people. It's like a second home for me. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Even with all the chaos of the pandemic, they had made modifications to classes to help us stay fit and feel safe during those crazy times. They have a useful and user-friendly app to reserve classes and purchase class packages. They also have the most affordable memberships too! There's tons of parking available at the shopping center and conveniently located off the 56 freeway. It's literally 8 minutes away from me which is a huge plus ! Overall, 5 stars !! There's nothing to complain about. It's really one of my favorite workouts and I always look forward to coming to class and seeing all the friendly faces. Highly recommend this kick-butt feel good workout ! read more

I had a great workout and the instructor Janelle was amazing. She does a great job demonstrating and/or instructing what to do...very encouraging along the way. I took the barre strength class, I liked the pace that allowed me to focus on muscle groups and I couldn't believe how much it made me sweat! Highly recommend, especially Janelle's class. read more

I am obsessed! I recommend this studio to everyone, I can't get enough - plus the staff is so welcoming!

I love this place, instructors are great and everyone is so nice. They have cardio classes and strength classes. read more

Barre3-Carmel Valley - Barre Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

My workout routine used to consist of heavy weight lifting at a traditional gym until I suffered an injury. I was advised to switch my workouts to Pilates/Barre which I'm thankful I did. I've been going to this barre studio for over a year and I really enjoy it. The classes are super energetic & the instructors are top notch. They really focus on proper alignment, spinal lengthening, flexibility, strength and balance, all of which my body loves. My absolute favorite thing and what I most look forward to is the "mindful breath work" we do at the end of class. It helps to reduce stress and promote calmness. Lastly I must say Barre 3 really promote a sense of community. They host many events inside and outside of the studio which keeps people engaged & motivated. Thank you Barre 3 I'm well on my way to recovery! read more

Barre 3 is an amazing place because you can dress it up and push yourself to the absolute maximum. But I also find that if you are not feeling your best, you can shed layers of difficulty (weights, bands, etc) to finish. It's 10/10 read more

Wonderful studio with caring instructors who are always giving many options during class. Great community. Love how there are always activities to encourage involvement. read more

I was on business in the area and lucky to find this incredible barre studio with super challenging classes for a full hour. The owner and teachers were very kind and welcoming. They have fun challenges and events including a puppy adoption event that was great. They're being acquired by Barre3 so the evolution should be interesting. Highly recommended‼ read more

Great class First class in many years My muscles were woken up in a good way and Im feeling great. Looking forward to my next class read more

I totally fell in love with barre because of Studio Barre. The instructors here are so fun and professional. The space is clean. The class is right good for my level. It's 1 hour but you feel time goes pretty fast. I think Barre is the exercise perfect for me to train small muscles. I can't wait to go back after recovering from my surgery. read more

It was such a positive environment and the instructor was fun and empowering to follow!

I've taken a lot of fitness classes recently and I still continue to go back to Studio Barre again and again. This isn't just a fitness class that you will dread going to, it's incredibly fun, challenging in the best way, and is so addicting! Before this, I hated working out of any form, this led to my whole body feeling stiff, weak, and just general fatigue. Ever since going to barre regularly and taking classes from my favorite instructor, Eva, I've been feeling great everyday and full of energy even on my rest days. Everyone here is so nice, friendly, and genuinely wants you to have a good time while feeling your best. I've never felt not welcomed or out of place. My only complaint is the class times. The 6AM classes have been cancelled twice on me due to not having enough people. This really disrupts my whole flow of the day when I get a text at 5:15AM that the 6AM class is cancelled (can't fall back asleep, can't pick another class elsewhere at the last minute, etc.). If Studio Barre could offer classes whether there's enough people or not, this would be the best ever! There's also no late evening classes. I believe the last ones start at 6PM, so it's difficult to come everyday when you have little ones who don't go to bed until 7PM. read more

Wow, what a work out! And all the staff was super friendly and helpful I really appreciated the instructor helping with form

Natalie the owner, all the instructors and front office staff are all amazing! They are always so welcoming and positive! Best hour of my day is spent at Studio Barre:) read more

I got a Groupon for one unlimited month of classes for about $50, and it's been a great experience to try out a new barre studio! This location is right off the freeway, and there's plenty of parking in this plaza. The studio is clean, and the instructors are lovely. My favorite instructors are Jessica and Tish. The weekend classes can be a little tight, but the energy of the class is fun. Going on the weekdays is more chill. This is a great low impact yet intense workout, so if you're new to barre, I really recommend getting the Groupon. I definitely want to continue coming even after my Groupon expires. read more

The studio barre staff are all so welcoming and kind! They go above and beyond to make me feel like a part of the SBCV community. I look forward to working out here every day! read more

I've been doing classes here for about 5 months and love the variety of class times, the size of the class, and the teachers. I feel like it has changed my body as well. read more

Studio Barre offers challenging classes that are fun. I mean my abs and thighs are burning, but the instructors are fun and energetic, and I am in a room full of women trying to achieve similar goals. I always feel good after coming out of the classes. Janelle and Maddie are fast paced and tough, but I really like their workouts. I have not had any bad workouts. There are A lot of different options for class times also. read more

I recently took my first class here with Chelsea - I've only been to barre one other time before this, and this class blew my previous experience with barre out of the water. My previous barre experience was slow-paced, and while I did feel a burn, I didn't emerge feeling stronger in any way. This barre class with Chelsea incorporated a lot of fun choreography and fast-paced, but micro moves to really engage every part of our body. My legs were literally trembling midway through the class, but these are the things we thank our instructors for later! During class, she would periodically adjust everyone's posture to make sure we were getting the maximum/optimal workout. The music soundtrack was reasonably paced for our movements. After the class, I felt rejuvenated and stronger, despite my thighs and calves feeling stretched and sore. The customer service / front-desk staff is incredibly warm and friendly. As it was our first time, she showed us around the studio and helped us to pick out our mats/weights/band/ball and to set up in front of the mirror. Do not be intimidated if it is your first time here, but be sure to arrive ~10 minutes early. The studio is nicely lit and modern-feeling, with a couple of ceiling fans to ventilate the room. As other reviewers have mentioned, be sure to come here equipped with your grippy socks. I bought mine for $17 at Nordstrom, but they offer Studio Barre-branded grippy socks for only $12 - what a steal! I look forward to coming back in the future :) read more

Barre3-Carmel Valley - Studio Barre exterior! Sandwiched between Great Clips and a BBQ place. The interior is modern and welcoming :) - Barre Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

Because I love the experience and the warmth of the studio. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The instructors are very helpful. It just feels right! read more

Funnest barre classes ever! The instructors are great and super helpful. You won't regret it!

Friendly staff. This is a challenging workout but you can modify the exercises depending on your level. They vary the exercises and you use different props like: stretchy bands, a ball, weighted balls and sliders. You never know what props or exercises you will do but you know you will always work every muscle in this whole body workout. read more

Very friendly staff and service, productive class, fast pace, I was able to follow along for most exercises at my first visit

I know people typically do not update their reviews if it is still the same rating but I feel like I need to share the love for Studio Barre CV. In my last review, I took the a class and loved it and really wanted to come back. Several classes later, I am absolutely obsessed with barre. I have taken classes with different women and everyone is different! BROOKE - Brooke is the owner and she is so nice! I have heard her classes were tough so I took her 12:15pm yesterday afternoon and she kicked my butt. She was in a boot and still managed to walk around and correct our forms. Love the dedication! Let's just say Brooke came over to me many times! I promise I am getting the hang of it! All of her movements were on beat so that was great! EVA - I took Eva's class on Monday and that was different from the other ladies. She definitely moves faster. If you are not paying close attention, you will fall behind. Her transitions are fast! My best friend really like this style because she said you "feel the burn for a bit but then it does not last too long". KAYLA - I took my first class with Kayla because Brooke had to get ready for a performance and Kayla took over after the warm up. I also took one of her "training" classes before she became and instructor. Yay! However, I have not taken a class from her since she became an instructor so I cannot really say what it is like. She is really friendly though! MARAH - Sweet Marah. I have become attached to Marah! I took two of her "training" classes before she became an instructor and loved her ever since. She is so bubbly and sweet so it made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. Her classes are fun and she makes sure you are in correct form like Brooke does. She loves to dance as she always dances when she walks around so she just gives the class a really positive and happy vibe! TISH - I took her class last week and it was great as well! When I took it, it was a full class so we did not get to experience the more personal side of form correcting and all but she did tell us funny stories during class! Honestly, everyone at this location is so friendly and not to mention stunning! You cannot go wrong with whoever you take a class with. I do not think I could go to any other studio because I am so biased now considering this was my first one and everyone was super welcoming. If you choose Studio Barre, go to the Carmel Valley one. They have AMAZING staff [: read more

Alex is a great instructor! Super friendly and motivating! I love coming to Studio Barre.

Really like the muscle workout without so much pounding on my joints! And they are great people at CVSB

A+ studio and workout. Come for the exercise, stay for the community. SBCV is an inclusive, friendly, and inviting environment. The instructors are knowledgeable, accommodating, and push you to the max! The receptionists are very welcoming and helpful! read more

I stumbled across Studio Barre through Groupon. Conveniently located right by the Camino Del Sur exit, Studio Barre is in a plaza with other trendy fitness studios like Rush Cycle and 9Round Kickboxing. There's also Starbucks and Vons nearby so you can conveniently grab coffee before class or go shopping at Vons after class. Every instructor I've had has been very motivating and positive. Not to mention...gorgeous! I definitely like their hands-on approach and making adjustments when needed as I'm not the most flexible person around. The only reason for the four instead of five stars was due to their hours of operation. I wish they had extended hours as I can barely make it to their 5:30 classes and I felt that some of the other students had the same sentiments (We all agreed that a 7:15 class would be more ideal!). However, I still highly recommend Studio Barre as their classes and instructors have been very positive and kind. read more

Bought a monthly pass & will say the following. Studio is decorated super cute Very clean Cute apparel Personable staff & classes are good BUT I felt like me being new to the class and not having a dance or yoga background the teachers queues and oddly the owners were way off as if she expected everyone to know what she was talking about and what was next. They were good at correcting your form, being funny and making you laugh and positive reinforcement but if you don't know what the heck you are doing & the rest of the class has been going for months or years and then you walk in and she is rambling on about random stuff and just doing the motions without even explaining or saying what is next your workout will suck and you will be standing there looking around the room trying to figure out how to do what everyone else is and not get a good workout in. Needless to say, after my month I did not go back. Their bodies were all amazing and I can see how if you had the patience you could learn and have a rocking bootie:) read more

I have been taking Lotte Berk barre classes for 8 years and am always down to try a new barre place. Unfortunately, Studio Barre seems to fall in the category of franchises that seem to just make moves up with no real regard to form or potential for physical injury. The space is really crammed. The floor is very slippery, even my grippiest pair of grippy socks were sliding and I had issues doing the push up moves we did during warmup. The instructor made 0 effort to learn my name or give me a tour, I just figured it out talking to other students, who were very nice. While the instructor's sassy type of style seemed fun at first, the repeated use of the words like "boobies" and "hoohah" made me feel like I was in middle school after a while. I noted I have lower back pain on my new student paperwork, but no modifications were given/suggested to exercises that were definitely (and obviously) causing me a lot of pain. I caught a glimpse of someone modifying and just copied her when it got bad. The people who looked like regulars seemed to be in great shape, so obviously the workout can produce results. But unless you know what you are doing, you could really injure yourself badly/quickly here. read more
