I've been going to barre3 since 2018 and I absolutely love the consistency across the various studio locations. I've gone to studios throughout California and Oregon (the mothership!!) and I've always left class with everything I need and more. The folks at Willow Glen are kind, accommodating, and energetic. I've gone to various studios through different chapters in my life and I fully intend on sticking around! This workout and studio has done wonders for my mental and physical health and I'm always yapping to whoever will listen about how beneficial their workouts have been. Love the variety, pricing is as expected for a clean and instructor-led group class. I give one of my highest recommendations to try a barre class at a barre3 studio like Willow Glen! read more

I found barre3 while looking for new studios to try out using my ClassPass trial. It was my first experience trying out barre, and they def made a fan out of me! I booked my session with the owner, Diana, unknowingly haha. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. The woman who helped me at the front get oriented was very kind and welcoming, and Diana gave a thorough breakdown of what to expect during the class. The class was super challenging, and I appreciated how Diana actually made good effort to help myself and others with form and technique. I walked away feeling sore even days later, which is always a good sign that you had a good workout haha The facility was also very clean in general! There's a large parking lot at the back of the studio so that wasn't much of a concern either. I'd definitely recommend trying them out, and getting a class with Diana! read more

I'm a powerlifting girly who just entered her fitness class era. And I'm glad my first class was at barre3! I found them through class pass and it was so easy to sign up. I signed up for the signature 45. Checking in was so easy, I let them know it was my first time and they were super welcoming and gave me a quick tour. The place is calming and immaculately clean. I saw there was a little play area for little ones who want to tag along. There's cubbies to keep your things in and peppermint wipes for your feet after class which is such a thoughtful detail. The class itself was great. The instructor made her rounds to help everyone, I was brand new and I like he she connected with me when she saw I was struggling with something to offer some modifications. I got in a really great sweat and challenged myself. Lots more cardio than I usually do! After class the staff to her base with me to see how I liked it which was nice. They explained to me a signature class is a combo of cardio, strength and mobility. They also offer classes the focus on each. I'd love to check out a strength class one day! read more

Love this studio and the instructors! I appreciate the variety of classes offered and they change every so often too. Overall a wonderful and welcoming community! read more

Barre3 Willow Glen is amazing! Staff is super friendly, instructors are helpful and patient, and they host many fun events too! I started from not working out for months, to coming in weekly, and now I come 3x per week! The classes are great for people who want to ease into working out again. read more

Such a special place! Been a member for over a decade, and the classes continue to offer me the challenge, variety, and flexibility that I need to make movement a regular part of my life. Even through pregnancies and postpartums! The community at this studio is so friendly and supportive and I love the availability and quality of their childcare. It's a gorgeous space too, which always helps keep me coming! Looking forward to many decades more :) read more

Willow Glen Barre is truly one of the best places to work out. I love the community--everyone is so welcoming and focused on their own goals. There's no judgment, just encouragement. The instructors are incredibly patient and attentive; they always check in to make sure we're doing the movements correctly, and they constantly challenge us to improve. I especially love the strength classes--they're some of my favorites. I've tried other studios, but honestly, nothing compares to how challenging and rewarding the classes are here. I feel stronger, healthier, and genuinely part of a community. I'm really looking forward to being part of Willow Glen Barre for a long time. read more

I just completed my 50th session here, and I finally feel ready to write a proper review. To be honest, I've never looked forward to a workout class in my entire life--until I started coming here. When I was searching for a gym, I couldn't decide between weight training, Pilates, yoga, or aerobics. But this place? It somehow combines all of them into a single, efficient, energizing session. Here's what makes it special: Spa-like atmosphere: From the moment you walk in, it feels like a clean and refreshing spa. It instantly puts you in a self-care mindset. Incredible staff: The team is sweet, welcoming, and completely non-judgmental. It's a safe space for all fitness levels. Diana: The owner/manager, Diana, is a beam of positivity. She genuinely cares, remembers everyone's name, and creates a warm, encouraging environment. Efficient and effective classes: Every session starts on time and flows seamlessly--no long talks or wasted minutes. You feel like every second is used to your benefit. I am enjoying it a lot and appreciate all their efforts. read more

This lukewarm review is for the service at WG, not for the actual Barre3 workouts (which I love and do every day). I've been going to this studio since 2016 as you can see from my initial review. When covid hit in 2020, this studio had the option to downgrade membership to an online membership and access the online workouts only. Now that I have a kid, I've been paying monthly for the online subscription only since it's a lot more convenient vs going to the studio, but I didn't rule out going back since I've gone back to the studio last year and like the in-person environment as well. The WG studio changed their online platform last month and I suddenly couldn't access online workouts anymore since it said my membership was inactive. I've been getting billed every month on the 24th and when I reached out to the studio, they said they would fix it for me and that I'm still an active member. However, I got charged that same day (the 19th) for a higher monthly price than what I've been paying for the past ~4.5 years at an earlier date. I should have been charged on the 24th for a lower price. I've called and emailed the WG studio numerous times since this happened, to no response, so I finally called again and asked to cancel my membership. They canceled my membership effective immediately! So I got charged a higher price last month at an earlier time, and the monthly price didn't even last the whole month. The amount in dispute is not that much money, but it's not about the money but the lack of service that disappoints me. Really disappointed with WG's service and won't be coming back to this studio. I'm just going to buy the annual online subscription from the main website since I do barre3 workouts every day. read more

Absolute wonderful studio with the best instructors! This studio is what introduced me to group fitness classes and I'm oh so grateful. The amenities are beautiful and so convenient, the instructors are all wonderful and pay attention to everyone (I've taken Cassandra, Tina, and Abrielle and they've all been amazing), and the classes make me feel strong but also valid whenever I need adjustments or modifications. I love it here and can't wait to be back! read more

I absolutely love this studio. I used to dread going to workout at other places. Here the workouts are super fun and effective. The instructors and staff care about you and make you feel welcome. So I enjoy going to work out five times a week. read more

It's a beautiful studio where extenuating exercise feels relaxing. Each step has options to increase or decrease resistance and participants are encouraged to make the class work for them according to the needs of their body. The studio offers childcare, book clubs, games, competitions, rewards, discounts on merchandise and access to an online library of lessons. It's wonderful, give it a try! read more

barre3 - Willow Glen - Barre3 Willow Glen - Barre Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

Barre3 Willow Glen is fantastic! The classes are addictive - I keep coming back even though my legs shake like a washing machine with an unbalanced load. Joy, Rachel, Cassandra, and Mikenna are all amazing instructors who somehow make you smile while your muscles are screaming. They're encouraging, fun, and masters at convincing you that "just one more set" is totally doable. Clean studio, great music, and a welcoming vibe. I'm definitely stronger than when I started, plus I've mastered the art of gracefully wobbling. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Fantastic barre studio! Great instructors. All different, but they each have their own energy and it's a nice balance. Really good workouts. Love that they have strength classes! read more

I am new to barre and this studio is exceptional! Their instructors and staff are friendly, personable and great with customer service, attentive with newbies like me to make sure I was comfortable. The classes are a great mix of what I need right now -strength, mind body coordination and connection, cardio and breath-work. So glad I gave this a try! read more

This was my first time attending a barre studio and I enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean, and my instructor Corinna was awesome! I love how energetic she was and she was very good about walking around the room to assess each person to not only make sure they're getting the best workout but also to see if they're doing okay. Definitely recommend if this is your first time or if you're looking for a low stress workout. read more

My husband and I visited barre3 through class pass last week. It was our first barre class ever and was a nice workout! Upon entering, you are checked in at the front desk. The front area is a small area for children to play in, which shows how child friendly this location is! The bathrooms also have everything that you could need - hair ties, dry shampoo, q-tips, diapers and a changing table, etc. The class itself was really nice! It was definitely warm in the studio and I wouldn't have minded some AC, but at least I got a good sweat in! I wouldn't say that the workout was incredibly difficult, but if you're new to barre like I was, you might struggle to keep up, as they move quickly and I certainly wasn't familiar with a lot of the moves. Thankfully, you do the same move over and over again, so you pick up on what to do! If you're looking for a barre class, I'd highly recommend barre3! read more

What a great workout for a Thursday evening! Good energy and studio is very clean. 45 min was the perfect amount and your legs will really be tested. Light arm and core workout too. Two days later my legs are still sore - very rewarding! No shoes in the studio and after there are free peppermint feet cleaning wipes There is parking along the street or behind the building. read more

Took my first class here and had a really fun time. A little nervous because I went alone (+ I'm not very fit lol) but the front desk and instructor were very helpful (: I will be returning read more

I took a class here with Ji Hae Lee with my first free class pass, and it was great! I was skeptical that 45 minutes would be enough for a class, but I arrived late and still found out that my body was sore the next day. I'm more of a "hit the machines" at the gym kind of girl, so getting to stretch and do yoga poses while exercising was great. There's a large variety of women here of all ages, and it's a great environment where you won't feel self conscious of your expertise at barre. The studio as mentioned by others is a bit small, but I'm glad that they don't overbook their classes because we all had enough room to move around for our activities! There were pregnant women who opted to sit out of certain activities and instead continued at the previous activity/did their own thing, which I respect. There's also a children's play section, which is great! I love that after the class you can fill your water bottle and wipe the soles of your feet with the provided peppermint wipes. There's cubbies where you can put your belongings safely as well. read more

Beautiful exercise studio in Downtown Willow Glen with super friendly instructors and staff! I think it's great they also have a play lounge available, especially for busy moms that need an hour of self care. Bathrooms are clean and they have peppermint wipes for your feet should you decide to take classes bare foot (I use grip socks). Studio is very light and airy - well ventilated too when it starts to heat up from the workout. I've been coming here for a few classes now and this place changed my opinion on barre classes in general. I don't have any dance backgrounds. Barre classes were a challenge for me at other studios - often times I couldn't keep up with the movements and felt horrible whenever the instructors would pick on me / call me out in front of the class. This happens at 2 other brands of barre studios that I won't call out. It made it hard to improve to the point where I could keep up or get a proper workout because my body was in too much pain. barre3 has a great pace for barre. It's a full body workout with light weights but a lot of small-impact movements. There are some cardio portions as well. The class formats are great at building up, pushing yourself to work, then slowing down / stretching the body. After class, I feel refreshed despite having gone through a sweaty workout. The instructors are clear and will WALK OVER to you to make a correction rather than call you out on the mike. The biggest pro is that they offer a lot of different options depending on your fitness level. Can't hold a plank? Use the bar! Too much tension on your arms? Go on your fore arms. Are you unable to bend your knees while keeping your feet together? Go into horse pose to still get the benefits. I really hate that other studios don't offer or invite these options because you feel left behind when the rest of the class doesn't use them. I've grown more confident in my physical abilities and it's been great observing how my body changes in terms of strength and flexibility. read more

I absolutely adore Barre3 Willow Glen! This review is long overdue...I've been a member for almost 2 years and have loved every moment of it! Everyone who works at Barre3 is such a joy, from the front desk to the instructors to management. Incredibly welcoming from the moment you step in. The classes themselves are fantastic, they fit a full workout in in 45 minutes to an hour that leaves you feeling stronger after each one. I love that the instructors are so knowledgeable and provide modifications for moves, and encourage you to feel empowered to take it at your own pace and listen to your body (which I don't see a lot of other workout classes doing). Plus the instructors are so thoughtful with how well each movement is choreographed with the music (great playlists too!). There are a variety of classes available now. Just in the time I've been a member which when I first started they had the signature 45 minute and hour classes, now they've introduced a strength class, cardio class and mindful flow class as well! Each one you can get a different benefit from, which makes my workouts feel that much more well rounded. Everybody, and every body is welcomed and celebrated, which is truly so awesome! I couldn't recommend barre3 Willow Glen more. If you're thinking of trying it - do it! And your first class is free, so there's no excuse not to at least try it and see if it's for you! read more

Was really surprised how much this mix of barre/pilates really helped with my back pain! I love this location and all of the instructors!

I've been coming to Barre3 for a few years now, I finally just upgraded to a membership because the owner text me saying I'd save money by moving from individual class packs to a membership. So amazing to have an owner that cares like that. The classes are also amazing. The teachers are motivating and kind, and also know moves that can push you to shake. read more

I've been coming here for over a year and have loved my membership. Each instructor brings her own unique touch and the sense of community keeps me coming back. The exercises are very wholistic and have a good mix of strength, cardio, flexibility and balance. I've felt stronger and better by making barre 3 a regular part of my routine. read more

I am so fortunate to have found this incredible community to strengthen and nourish not only my body but also my mind. Barre 3 WG offers a variety of incredible experiences, such as book clubs, after class gatherings, outdoor classes, and Halloween dress up classes for families with littles to name a few, to get to know yourself and others. read more

I took a barre class once at The Bar Method. It was cool, but it obviously didn't stick because it took me 5 years to try barre again. I've passed by B3WG countless times, and an opportunity came up for me to give barre another go. The studio felt very homey. I thought it was cool how they had a day care section. The practice space was so open with its high ceilings and farmhouse style. I signed up for Lauren's 6am Thursday class. Lauren was super helpful with getting me acquainted to the studio and showing me the amenities. Although I brought my ToeSox, Lauren confirmed for me that it was totally fine going barefoot. All the props were provided, including complimentary hand towel, light dumbbells, pilates ball, and mat. Class was great! It was so different than the first barre class I took, and candidly it was 100x's better. We did a whole lot of isolated movements of course, but I loved that Lauren incorporated some cardio and power exercises as well. I will be back and look forward it. read more

The staff are so wonderful and always greets you with a smile. All the instructors are super supportive. Each instructor has their own version of class so it's never the same moves class after class. There's always such a positive energy in the entire space and that's what made me keep coming back after 7 years. read more

This studio is located at the end of the charming Lincoln Blvd downtown Willow Glen. nice facilities, has classes that can be modified based on your needs, and a ton of options throughout the day. it's a great experience! read more

This is a wonderful studio- it's clean, bright, and conveniently located with plenty of parking in the back! The staff and instructors are always smiling and welcoming when I come in. Would highly recommend this place if you want to try barre! read more

Love this studio! The members, the instructors, and the front desk staff are 5 stars!

I joined Barre3 about 9 months ago and have had an awesome experience with this studio this far! The instructors are great and there is a variety of classes to take; signature barrē classes to cardio, mindfulness, and strength. What I really like about the instructions is that there is always a modification you can work with so the classes work for every level and age group. 5 stars for this spot! read more

I absolutely love this studio. Been coming here since November of 2023 after looking for a place to workout that made me feel comfortable. Not only does Barre3 do this for me, but so much more. The positive energy and encouragement to push oneself is outstanding. The instructors are all super kind and helpful. My favorite classes are the signature and strength training. But after taking all of the classes offered, I must say they are all great! Highly recommended this studio, as they encourage consistency and acknowledge that everyone is different and that is acceptable. The belief of the only competition is oneself is what sold me and keeps me coming back. read more

barre3 - Willow Glen - Barre Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

The instructors, staff and community at Barre 3 in Willow Glen are PHENOMENAL. The studio is pristine, and there are ample class opportunities every day. They are so welcoming to new comers that are trying barre for the first time, the front desk staff make a point to remember your name, you really feel like you're a part of their team. I highly recommend this studio - take a class, you'll be hooked! read more

Pros: Polite staff. Clean and cute studio and good instruction. Fun. Nice light workout that is not super challenging. Teacher suggests mods for people who may not be able to do all of the moves full out. Seems like they are trying to minimize pushing people to the point of injury. I respect that. Minor con: No personal corrections (although some might view this as a pro) although the teacher does invite you to ask questions after class. Major con: Your sweaty self is on video the whole time. The teacher has a laptop set up at the front of the room that shows it is either video-recording or live-streaming everyone in the class. It feels kind of uncomfortable going to an exercise class that you are paying for and then knowing that it is being video-recorded/streamed and broadcast somewhere (I assume an app or a website). It would be a 5 except for the whole video-recording/live-streaming everyone thing. It is distracting and it just makes it seem like less of a safe space. read more

This is a great Barre studio. I have been coming here since summer 2023, first just 1-2x per month and more recently as an unlimited member. I've tried Barre3 in other locations and this space is definitely my favorite. The staff and instructors are friendly and helpful, and it's a great low-impact workout. I have never had a bad class experience and they have a lot of community activities like outdoor classes and featured deals with local vendors. The 60 minute or 45 minute Signature classes are ideal if you're new to Berre3, and I've really enjoyed some of the newer class formats like Barre3 Strength (heavier weights, no cardio segment) and Barre3 Mindful Flow (stretching). I've tried other Barre studios and I've found that this method works best for me in terms of a balance between strength and 'ballet' type exercises (I am NOT a dancer in any way). The instructors offer a lot of modifications and there are always folks of all abilities and ages in the classes. If you have kiddos, Play Lounge is really excellent too. My toddler loves doing activities while I'm in class - play lounge staff are super caring and fun and good at keeping her entertained. I highly recommend this studio! read more
