The way everything was broken down step by step helped me gain confidence quickly and understand the fundamentals the right way. Amanda and Vanessa were incredible so supportive, patient, and always willing to help. Going from not knowing much to feeling confident and knowledgeable within just a few days is such a big transition, and I'm honestly so grateful for that growth. Thankful for the guidance, the support, and this opportunity to step into becoming a mat instructor

Happy 1600th Review!! I have been saving Barre Element for this milestone review since they have…read morebeen 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 :)

Loved this barre class! I've been doing barre for years and my very favorite studio closed a few…read moreyears ago. Since then my body has never been the same, the sculpting I had before has been almost impossible to achieve. I've been trying different barre studios and just hadn't found the one that worked my butt and legs the way my original studio had. Cassie's class finally did that. She incorporates cardio WITH the barre moves. Some studios will throw in some cardio but it's typically separate from the barre moves...the difference it makes when the cardio comes from the combination of repetitions and quick transitions is huge. My butt is so sore this morning...that's the best feeling!! She makes the class fun and the music is good, other people taking the class were super friendly. The classes are 45 minutes long and she does not waste a single minute. I love the 45 minute, go hard format. She incorporated most of the most effective moves you can do in barre. I'm in the middle of a move and only up this way a couple of day's per week right now but I'll be taking classes here every time I can. I highly recommend this studio!

I started pure barre one month ago (I was 3 month postpartum then). Due to a rough pregnancy, I…read morewas not able to work out at all during my pregnancy so I was really out of shape. The first several classes were really difficult, but I was immediately hooked!! It was exactly what I needed--- strengthening core, abs, arms, legs, and seat!!! Since the movements are low-impact, it is perfect for new moms whose bodies are still healing and recovering. The classes are still challenging, but I can definitely tell that I am getting stronger. I still have a long journey ahead of me to get back into my pre-baby shape, but I am so glad I chose pure barre to do it. All the instructors/staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming. They make sure to fix your forms. Every instructor/class has different styles so the classes are never the same, never boring. As I prepare to go back to work, I do wish there were later class times. As of now, 7pm is the latest. Finally, it is a great work out environment; it's very inspiring and motivating to be able to work out surrounded by so many strong ladies!

The instructor was nice and upbeat. Gave MANY hands on corrections which was appreciated but a bit uncomfortable at times. I did not know she would be touching places such as my chest and butt. Usually in my yoga classes we are asked if we are comfortable being touched and given corrections. However that was not communicated at this studio and the hands on nature was immediate and a bit uncomfortable for someone who was not prepared for it. Especially in more private areas such as the butt. Class was great- very hard and may be tough for beginners. Overall I do not think I will return given the price and the atmosphere.
