Wow what a class!! Found this studio on MINDBODY app and had no idea I was walking by this studio on 3rd floor while living in JC and missing out!! First class took with a friend Train Jane and wow what a workout. Loved the vibe dance and resistance training in between. Then went back following weekend for Tramp Stamp and that was even more challenging workout on a trampoline. I wish more class times during week. But definitely will be adding this workout and studio to my workout routine. Also love the sense of community with the women and staff. Feel a sense of belonging from Day 1. Also love that founders are Rockettes & Jersey Girls hidden gem and glad I found them. read more

One of the best fitness studio on classpass. Love working out here, awesome positive energy.

They should really change the name of this spot to Booty Blast Barre, because I mean srrrsiouly, it's a blast to the boot-ay. I've been twice -- once to the 'sports barre' class and once to a regular 'barre' class, both with Danielle, and I gotta say: "two thumbs up." Danielle is one of the owners and she's super passionate about the studio, Jersey City and her clients. She's also super pretty and fit (she was a Rockette, ya heard?!) which always helps for motivation. They ask your name and they remember your name. Sports barre was a combo: cardio & barre. Get that heart rate pumping and then tone it up in between. Barre was less cardio and your more traditional barre class, but so much sportier with weights, bands and Beyonce. Friends rave about the trampoline and dance classes, but I have yet to dabble. Both classes definitely left me energized, a little sore and happy with my efforts for the day. The studio is small, but fierce. The locker/changing area is a bit cramped, but I've never seen an issue as the class sizes aren't large. First class was about 12 people and second class was about 6. There is a shower for those who may be needing to clean it up before headed to work or out for the day, but it seems most people grab their jackets/bags/stuff from a locker and pop in and out. These days boutique workouts are about $22 a pop (the price of a Sports Barre workout), and I think it's right up there with the best of them! Enjoy! read more

I have been coming here for over 2 years now. This is the longest I've ever stayed with a workout studio and I have tried a lot of places over the years. I can't say enough great things about Jane Do, from the two founders who are kind and make sure to learn everyone's names, to the fantastic studio manager Taylor who is always super patient and supportive, as well as all of the enthusiastic trainers. I miss some of my old favorite instructors who are busy acting or dancing, but I have grown to love the new crop of instructors. I love how Jane Do tries to introduce new classes in order to keep challenging us and make sure we are not bored. I personally love the Dance Your Ass Off classes, they are always fun and you don't feel like you are working out. Katie has always been my favorite instructor for this class, I hope she comes back soon. If you are lucky enough to take it with Jacey or Dani (the two founders), you would be in for a treat. The other three classes (tramp, floor play or train Jane) are intense, I personally dread Floor Play because I am always crazy sore after, but that means it's working right?! Come try a class here, you will love supportive trainers, the beautiful light filled studio and the wonderful atmosphere of this place. read more

I went for my first workout here last night and took the "Train Jane" class. I've been a loyal OrangeTheory member for about 5 years but have been feeling burned out by it, so I've been looking for something to supplement/replace OTF and tried Janedo finally after hearing rave reviews. The Train Jane class was fun and fast paced, but for someone with bad knees/hips all of the jumping was very difficult on my body. I was able to modify many of the moves, but felt like I wasn't getting the full value of the workout (and I've a very competitive person so personally I didn't love being one of the only people in the class modifying at times, but that's on me not the class/studio/instructor). I think this may just not have been the class for me and I'm going to try all of their class formats during my $40 intro week (unlimited classes for this week!!) and see if there are others that fit my personal style more. I just signed up for dance your a** off and as a dancer/former Zumba instructor I am very excited for this class. Also looking forward to trying Tramp Stamp (the trampoline class) later this week as I hope the trampoline will ease the impact/pain on my knees/hips while jumping. The studio itself is super cute inside (though beware, you have to walk up a few flights to get there...and walk DOWN them after class which is worse...I was already in pain from my workout going back down!) with lots of motivational sayings and decorations around. At the end of class, the cooldown stretch was so rewarding and you're spritzed with (optional) rose water which leaves you feeling refreshed and not stinky! I'll definitely be back (like in a few hours) read more

I LOVE Jane Do! It's the only work out that I can stay committed to after many years. My favorite classes are: - Train Jane (cardio & muscle toning) - Floor Play or now called Get Lifted (muscle toning) - Tramp Stamp (trampoline cardio & muscle toning) The only downside is that these classes are usually offered very early on the weekends (9am/10am) and if I have plans the night before, I will be too tired to attend the class. I wish they had more of the above classes on weekends at 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm. That way, I can still go to class even if I go out the night before! Also, weekday classes are usually 6pm or 7pm which is an awkward time if you get off work in the city at 5:30-6:00pm like many of us. One of my favorite things about Jane Do is how they spritz rose water on your face at the end of every work out! Some of the instructors help you stretch too which is very nice. read more

*cues up Avicii "A Sky Full of Stars* Epic dance workouts in 3 2 1. . . I've been coming to Jane DO for a few months now. Usually 2/3 a week. The results I am seeing are incredible. I'm a little late to the Jane DO party but I'm *finally* here. This boutique fitness studio specializes in dance workouts. All classes are choreographed to special play lists enhancing the workout. Several different class types to get your endorphins pumping. Breakdown of classes I've been to: Tramp Stamp - my go to. Combo of cardio and HIIT. Everyone works out and jumps around on a mini trampoline. Time flies and imagine having fun while getting stronger and leaner. Yep. Step it Up - A plastic and rubber step are the basis for this class. Hard. I promise you will leave thinking how the hecc did my body just do all of this!? More challenging because you are doing a lot of stepping up and down and actual dancing. Floor Play - HIIT style class. Most instructors use the resistance bands and/or weights. Some use rubber balls. These are heavy on the reps and repeating sets. Jane Do feels like she belongs in LA. Very positive vibes always, towels provided and rose water spritz at the end. Lighting in here is specially tinted so we all look extra good in selfies and boomerangs. All the instructors have different styles. They can teach to all levels but some go harder and push you to do more and other cut a bit of slack. For beginners go to Issac's Tramp Stamp. It's a feel good workout at moderate pace. His voice is soothing and encouraging. Good first class if you are new to the studio. Instructors I love for those days when I need to light that fire under my butt are Katie and Danielle. Jacey's classes are tough and when she is teaching I am forever rearranging my schedule in hopes some of what she has rubs off of me. Maria's Sunday 4 PM is a mainstay for me. But it's like dating. . . Find which instructor you connect to. Give the staff at Jane Do a call! Team here is super friendly and helped steer me in the right direction. Admittedly I was hesitant about starting up. The first few workouts were painful and I struggled to finish but now I'm in the swing of it and plan to stay that way. For the money (I do monthly for $225) I am happy with the 16 classes. Let's do this ;) read more

I came in for a Yelp Fit Club event and completely fell for this place and its high energy Sports Barre class. Upon arriving I found myself in the hot seat (read: front of the room) but didn't let it deter me. I went in with an open mind and decided to do my best and get in a good workout. Let me tell you, it's been almost 2 days and I'm still feeling lingering soreness. Always the sign of a good sweat session. Parking is a nightmare so head to the garage over on Christopher Columbus. It's $10 for up to 2 hours. Although a small studio, there's still enough space to work without bumping into your neighbors. The music an energy are high and the instructor was incredibly high vibe. She kept me going even when I wanted to take a break. They also have a location in Edgewater and it's making me a little disappointed I didn't know about it earlier. I'd definitely have gone for classes. A single class is $22, which I think is a bit high, but I also think it's a good workout so six of one half a dozen of another...? They also offer class packs. This is definitely a class I'd take again if I were int he area. read more

Jane DO - Jersey City Studio - Class packs - Barre Classes Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The best boutique workout in Jersey City. Sports Barre offers 4 classes and personal training. Sports Barre, Naked Barre, Trampoline and a Cardio Dance Class. I've tried all the classes and recommend all of them because of the cool instructors and the lovely people who go to the classes. It's mostly women and just a judge free environment where you can workout and have fun at the same time. There is a small locker room, but no showers. read more

Having taken each of their classes at least once I feel that I can now provide an accurate review of the Sports Barre. Let's just say I am absolutely hooked! I have walked past their studio countless times and let's be real have been too chicken to try them out, mostly because I have no rhythm to speak of and have the coordination of a crumbled piece of newspaper - ha! With the wedding around the corner I went for it and it may have been the best decision of my life. If you are a first timer I highly recommend that you start online first and sign up for a profile and pick your classes there, reason being that they are extremely popular and classes are almost always booked to capacity so if you walk in your chances of actually getting into a class are probably low. The online site is simple to navigate, you can read the description of all the classes and also manage your class schedule there and modify and edit as needed. Do keep in mind that if you do cancel 12 hours before your class is slated to start you will be charged a fee. Their studio is a bit small but they make it work. There is a small unisex dressing area with a coat rack, shower and lockers. They even have shampoos, blowdryers, lady things, deodorant, razors, hair ties and a tips if you need! Towel service is also included. Ok so onto the classes - they have 4 different Barre classes to choose from: Barre Naked, Sports Barre, Tramp Stamp and Dance Your A$$ Off. Barre Naked is bit more traditional, emphasizing more on stretching and toning with bar work and light weights. Sports Barre is broken up with spurts of cardio and strength training. Dance Your A$$ Off is similar to a Zumba class, lots of movement and music and dance. Tramp Stamp takes place mostly on a mini trampoline, a mixture of jumping and movements. These classes are no joke, who woulda known just a little pulsing could cause so main pain (in a good way). Again I want to emphasize that I have no rhythm and no coordination but had no problem at all keeping up with any of these classes - yes dance class included. The instructors do a great job of making each class fun and there is never any pressure to go outside of your comfort zone. The music is great and did I mention how fun each of these classes are? Midway through my very first class I was thinking to myself, "This is so fun!" Needless to say as soon as class ended I signed up for the unlimited classes. Enough said. read more

I LOVE everything about The Sports Barre. The owners Danielle and Jacey are lovely, welcoming, talented and fierce instructors. Their class methodology is on par with any of the NYC boutique studios. I have taken all their classes and all of them are invigorating, smartly constructed and the teachers always offer modifications and offer amazing adjustments. If you want a kick ass HIIT-like class check out Sports Barre. The trampoline class is ridiculously fun and challenging and the classic Naked Barre class is really creative. The dance class is perfect for anyone! I cancelled my gym membership to come here exclusively. I'm so happy it's across the street from me and I truly look forward to working out now it's been so fun and the results physically and emotionally are amazing! read more

Jane DO - Jersey City Studio - Opening ceremony with the Mayor! - Barre Classes Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I started taking classes here this past summer after moving to Jersey City. I was excited to take classes at a female-run studio and although they weren't super cheap, I loved the intensity of the Dance HIIT classes and really felt they were worth it. After attending for several months, I finally stopped in late Jan. I did not feel it was a welcoming environment if you're not a certain body type. I have done two half marathons and a triathlon and I have a size 12-14 body. I am athletic, but have a very curvy body and (dare I say) thighs and a butt that jiggles. Say what you will about whether you think my opinion is valid, but as they saying goes: you don't remember what people do or say -- you remember how they make you feel. I felt as if the instructors looked at me with pity every time I walked into class and during the workout as if I needed extra help and attention. After MONTHS of attending classes, I finally walked up to an instructor and asked for help with some pain I was experiencing in my lower shin. It had been snowing hard for much of January and I knew that my heavy snow boots had caused the strain there. I sought out help because the pain and tightness was impacting my ability to move around in class so I wanted some pointers on how to work the muscle. The instructor cut me off during my question and said "Oh, you're just not used to jumping around so much." I tried to explain that it was not pain I got from class but rather from my boots but the instructor was so dismissive and so quickly assumed I must be simply out of shape. Again, I have gone to this class at least a few dozen times since the summer! And I worked my tail off in there, just as hard as anyone else. I completed my second half marathon in November. Out of shape I am not. I won't be going back. I've found far more inclusive dance and workout classes in other parts of the city. read more

Awesome classes, really lovely staff. Super friendly and not intimidating. Sculpt class is very joint friendly and even the walk up to the studio is a bit of a warm up! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Just did my first class here... and WTF was I doing with my fitness life all these years in Jersey City?! So I've only done Tramp Stamp, but it was literally my ideal workout. I enjoy frequenting Brooklyn clubs to hear happy house DJs. I often find, at the peak of my happiness on the dance floor, I'm hop-dancing around, hair and arms flailing wildly to the beat. Imagine that...but in kick-your-ass workout form. They've got the beats. They've got the energetic instructor. They've got THE DISCO BALL. I've been trying a few classes with ClassPass, and most are okay but I finished at Jane Do and had to walk very slowly home on my jellyfish legs. But so much fun you won't know you're working out. read more

It's been two years since I posted this review and I'm happy to report that Jane DO is still AWESOME! They've made lots of changes to the class structures which is great because it keeps clients on their toes (i.e., not letting your body get comfortable with a specific type of workout = better results!). The owners, trainers, and staff are all amazing and empowering. Also I think I spend all of my money on their amazing swag (their workout pants are fabulous). read more

Jane DO - Jersey City Studio - They even have cool challenges every so often to win some fun gear...like this sweet beach bag! - Barre Classes Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Love the Jane DO JC location. I've gone to a few PM workouts as well as a few early morning ones (5:30am start) on weekdays. Have loved all of the instructors and appreciate how they will adjust you if you aren't doing an exercise correctly or if you aren't in the right position. I've tried out floor play and train jane. Both were full body workouts with low impact and high resistance. Recommend the studio and excited to try some of the other classes they offer. read more

I love Jane DO. The quality of classes is far above the quality of other local studios, and the instructors are so knowledgeable, kind, and full of personality. It's clear the staff here puts time, effort, and energy into their craft, which I appreciate as a client. It's a very professional, yet laid-back and fun environment. I love the Tramp Stamp Class when I feel like bouncing my stress away, and Dance Your A** Off is a ton of fun and satisfies the former dancer in me. Classes are challenging, which I enjoy (if I'm going to a dance or work out class, I'm going there because I want a good sweat or strengthening session, etc). I always leave feeling happy and empowered. And I like supporting strong local female business owners. Bravo, Jane DO! read more

Jane Do is the only workout that can consistently motivate me to get out of bed before dawn. The instructors are energetic and positive without being overly peppy. The classes are consistent enough that I never feel lost, yet variable enough to keep things interesting, challenging and effective--even when I'm there almost every day. In class I feel inspired to push myself without any sense of competition or judgment. read more

I don't know why I haven't gotten around to reviewing my favorite place in Jersey City yet, but better late than never. If I could give Jane Do 10 stars, I would. I have always been an athlete, but had literally never taken a fitness class in my life until I came here. I have a joint condition and was always hesitant that I wouldn't be able to make it through any classes and would end up wasting money. One day last winter I felt inspired and signed up for the Barre Naked class with Jacey, one of the owners. I explained my joint issue and she helped me figure out which classes I should take and any modifications I could do during class if I needed it. Above it all, she was so welcoming and encouraging that I wanted to come back before I even entered class. That first class made me realize how out of shape I was - and I became addicted. I wanted more of these classes that pushed me to my limit and made me feel the good kind of pain the next day because I knew I worked hard. I started to begin a regular rotation of Barre Naked, Sports Barre, and Tramp Stamp with all of the instructors. All of the amazing, talented, vivacious trainers couldn't be more inspiring, encouraging, and understanding. As the months have gone by, Jacey and Dani, the owners find new ways to motivate all of us empowered women at Jane Do through challenges, promotions, and sick apparel. Whether you are an athlete or just someone who wants to get in shape/be able to eat what you want and not feel guilty, I couldn't recommend Jane Do more. The trainers will make you feel comfortable in your own skin and work with you to achieve your personal goals. A YEAR LATER, and I can still honestly say this is my favorite place in Jersey City. I have never been happier sweating my a$$ off in my entire life. I've actually even tried several other class-based gyms around Jersey City and Hoboken in the past few months, and still find that Jane Do is the hardest & best workout, the most fun, and the place where the trainers actually give you the most individual attention. Nothing will kick your butt like Taylor's Train Jane or Margaret's Floor Play classes. If you're lucky, you can get a spot in one of owner Jacey's classes. read more

Before Jane DO, I didn't workout. I did not consider myself to be "athletic" at all and had a hard time getting to the gym. I couldn't commit to a workout that worked for me. I couldn't find a workout and a gym truly made me happy. Jane DO has not only changed the way I workout, (now sweating with fellow "Janes" nearly 6 days a week), the entire team at this studio has helped to change the way I live my life, the way I see myself in the mirror and the way that I feel, both physically and mentally. Jane DO is more than just another gym, it's an empowering community, a judgement-free zone. It's a place to be welcomed, lifted up, challenged, pushed to your limits, encouraged by your neighbor and driven by the trainers to go further than you did the day before. I joke around and say I go to Jane DO just as much for the sense of community as much as I go for the butt kicking workout. It's true, some of my closest friendships were made while working out at this studio. Get ready to sweat. Get ready for change to happen. I can feel it, I can see it and I keep going back for more. I have built the strength, stamina and motivation to make me a better person. The variety of classes in Barre Naked, Tramp Stamp, The Sports Barre and Dance Your A$$ Off allows me to mix up my schedule to change up my workouts every day. I am forever grateful for the impact that the owners Danielle and Jacey, the phenomenal trainers and the entire Jane DO community has made on my life. read more

After a brutally cold winter of me saying "my building has a gym" and never actually GOING, I joined ClassPass. As a Hoboken resident I started taking classes there, and little by little venturing out to NYC and Jersey City. About a month ago The Sports Barre became one of the available studios on class pass. And I am so happy they did! I have found my new studio addiction and it is The Sports Barre. The owners - Jacey & Danielle are present most of the time when I attend class, and a lot of the time are actually teaching them! Because of my routine/schedule I take a lot of Danielle's classes and I haven't had the pleasure of working with all the instructors, but I can only imagine they are just as great! From what I have observed so far all of them instill a great sense of positivity into your workout, making it not about how you look but how you feel. They seem to get that not everyone is a former Rockette or NBA dancer and that sometimes just getting through a class is an accomplishment. I end up using up all my ClassPass classes in less than a week, and have started purchasing classes here on top of my class pass cause I am that addicted to the sweat! read more

Where do I even start?! Last year I was diagnosed with patella femoral syndrome which requires me to maintain strong leg muscles for kneecap stabilization. After undergoing physical therapy I transitioned to taking barre classes at Jane Do (formerly the Sports Barre) for low impact, muscle targeting. I'll admit that I had preconceived notions (including the misconception that I was much too awkward and outdoorsy for a place that seemed to pride itself on all things pink and ballet.) I was 100% wrong. The classes, and instructors, are the shit. Without Jane Do, I wouldn't have been able to do the Salkantay Trek in Peru. I wouldn't have been able to start running again. I would have been stuck in my all-or-nothing mentality to working out, and stuck in the mindset that I am not "feminine" or "poised" enough for ballet. This is truly a no-judgment zone. The instructors go out of their way to learn your name and cheer you on during class. There are plenty of opportunities to push yourself further or take a modified version if you are recovering from injury, and the instructors help align your body to ensure you aren't hurting yourself. This is different than other workout studios I've attended in the past where I did more harm to my body than good. Lastly, every single class playlist is different thanks to Jacey's excellent DJ skills. The music at Jane Do is ALWAYS on point. Bottom line: I love this place. I walk out every time standing a little taller than I was the time before. If you're looking for a way to switch up your workout and want the encouragement of a crew of badass, inspiring women (and men!) look no further. Thank you Jane Do crew, for all that you do! read more

I've been taking classes here for about 9 months, and have tried all of their classes, including private training. I work out here almost exclusively, with a sprinkle of yoga classes or kickboxing classes elsewhere when there's a promotional deal. I keep coming back to Jane DO day after day because 1) I've noticed a huge difference in my body, 2) it continues to kick my a$$ every single class, and 3) the trainers are so warm and friendly and they just make me happy. I joined Jane DO (previously The Sports Barre, "Jane Doe" is any woman, and Jane DO empowers every woman to do what they want by building physical and mental strength) primarily for the Barre Naked classes, because I used to take barre classes in Hoboken and the isometric movements were great for shaping my arms and core. I had also just finished 5 months of private training at another studio with heavy, heavy weights, so I was looking for an equally tough workout. I started at Jane DO with the Barre Naked, Sports Barre, and Dance Your A$$ Off (DYAO) classes, and even though I'm terribly uncoordinated, I left each class completely spent but feeling great. The trainers always give options to make certain moves harder / easier, and they challenge you to go for the harder options. Also I love their signature workout tanks and have a whole collection of them :) At this point, I've taken all the classes, and I really can't pick a favorite because they each serve a different purpose: -DYAO: cardio / weight loss, dance party to fun music, totally ok if you can't dance -Tramp Stamp: cardio / weight loss, high intensity but low impact because the trampoline absorbs the shock of jumping, good for those who think you're uncoordinated because there's a limited range of moves -Barre Naked: low impact but super hard because you work the tiny muscles in your body that you didn't know existed and it huuuuuurrrrrrts so much / so good, great for toning muscles -Sports Barre: all-in-one class if you only have limited days each week to work out. You get spurts of high-intensity cardio (e.g. squat jumps, burpees) in between muscle toning sets -Step It Up: kind of like DYAO or Tramp Stamp but with the added challenge of a step. I found this one to be the hardest class of all because of the step and because I think it requires more coordination to turn around on the step while doing moves. This probably gets easier once you learn the range of moves over several classes -Private Training: yes it's expensive, but your trainer (thanks Taylor!) will really get to know you and your strengths / weaknesses. I get pushed to do harder moves, plus I learned a lot more about my body and how to take care of it. Every workout is new and completely different and incorporates a range of equipment (e.g., TRX straps, bosu, swiss ball, heavier weights - 10 lb max, step, trampoline, ankle weights, jump rope, agility ladder, stairs, barre, mat, pilates ring, etc.). If your session is scheduled when class is going on, your session will be in the small private training room on the 2nd floor. Otherwise, you will be in the main studio, which means you might have to do laps around the room :) As for the instructors, I love them all. I've taken class with every one of them, and they're all equally charming / tough. I like that they do the workouts with the class (except when they walk around to adjust people's form) - it is inspiring because they prove it's not impossible to keep going, and it shows that these trainers seriously have buns/arms/abs of steel. Some classes can get cozy because the studio is small and the classes are often completely booked. I hope they have continued success so they can expand the Jersey City location! read more

This is a review for 3 of the classes I've taken so far: Sports Barre - it was ok. More like a cardio barre so a decent workout, but nothing that felt like it was too hard. Dance Your A$$ off - great class! To preface, I don't dance at all, so at first I thought the dance moves were a little too easy. But after I found myself huffing and puffing and trying to keep up, I understood why they kept the dance moves simpler--so you can learn them! I loved that Jacey dances the whole thing with you so she's just as drenched as you are. Tramp Stamp - interesting name but I was curious to try a trampoline class and found that it was so much fun! Definitely challenging. You want to jump high but not fall off the trampoline. Nothing like jumping on a trampoline to really make you feel like a kid again. And it doesn't even feel like a workout but you definitely feel the results the next day. Can't wait to take this one again! Both owners Jacey and Danielle have such great energy and you can tell they take pride in their business. They also learn your name quickly so that's always a plus in a local business :) read more

The Sports Barre has honestly been a life saver for me. I have chronic back problems from a disc surgery as a teenager, and the flare-ups are completely debilitating. My doctor recommended getting in shape (ugh) and strengthening my core (double ugh) so that my spine had more support. "Find something you like!" he said enthusiastically. Hahaha! Turns out he was serious...and I really didn't think finding exercise that I actually enjoyed was possible... UNTIL, I discovered Sports Barre. If you see pigs flying around Jersey City it is because I have actually found a type of exercise that I not only enjoy, but look forward to and get really excited about attending. Jacey, Danielle, and the staff are awesome. They even gave me the confidence to try awkwardly bouncing and flailing my way around the Dance Your A$$ off class. I have no coordination...rhythm...ability to move my arms and legs at the same time...yet I still had a blast and got a killer work out and I'm pretty sure they didn't mind my lack of grace. Barre Naked is awesome and low impact and has done wonder for that core my doc wanted me to strengthen. The Tramp Stamp class is AWESOME, but space is limited...so actually...I mean it's awful. Please do not take my spot. SO if you're looking to have a workout that you actually enjoy, take it from me, you won't be disappointed with Sports Barre. I feel stronger, more toned, and as for my back? No flare-ups since I started doing classes here. THANK YOU SPORTS BARRE! You have no idea how grateful I am for that :) read more

I discovered "sports barre" on the way home from a real "sports bar" LOL. I noticed the sign and was immediatly interested based on the clever name. The following Monday I signed up for a class. I have been a regular ever since I liked the staff immediatly. They are so friendly and positive! They make you want to work hard.I've only been there a short time and they all greet me by name like a long time client. I am not very coordinated and sometimes feel self conscious. However, they reinforce to you how great you are and make you feel comfortable doing what is best for you. Not only that Purdie and Danielle always ask me how I'm feeling. They gave me positive feedback when I said I was less sore after taking a few classes. This has made me want to come back even more. I would reccomend the sports barre to anyone who wants a great new routine. You will love it!! read more

JaneDo is an amazing studio! Jacey and Danielle are champions for women to achieve their dreams inside and outside the studio. A women-owned, women-only haven for anyone looking to feel more empowered, energized, and, of course, fit. JaneDo keeps their playlists and routines fresh so it is always challenging. JaneDo will not only get you physically stronger and closer to your fitness goals, it will get you mentally strong as well. The trainers here will know you by name and push your performance to get you in the best shape of your life in a judgement-free zone. Take a class and see how incredible it is for yourself! read more

I moved to JC about a month ago and have come here about 4 times so far. So far I have only tried Tramp Stamp and Barre Naked. Barre Naked is challenging but I felt like I wasn't in shape enough to do most of the moves, and I didn't leave drenched in sweat like I do after Tramp Stamp. Personally I think Tramp Stamp is a great starter for someone who is a beginner - since you're on a trampoline, you don't "feel" the workout while you're doing it, so it's not as torturous! But it's still high energy and a great class to sweat it out and have fun. Don't worry about being uncoordinated, no one will notice haha. The class is addicting!!! Since discovering this studio I have worked out 4 more times than I have in ... years (zero) I haven't tried Sports Barre or Dance your ass off yet. My only request is that they play more hip hop as I find that keeps me going more than top 40's and pop. :) Lastly, everyone is super nice! It really makes a difference in creating a positive, encouraging vibe. read more

This place is amazing! The teachers and staff are all totally encouraging and upbeat. The overall space and studio is spic and span but also just has an wonderful vibe to it. Even though the workouts are killer, I still love going and have even done two classes in a row before. The classes are really innovative and great for people of all levels. Definitely worth trying a class or two! read more

Jane DO. An ADDICTION. FIVE STARS! the Jane DO studio is one of the best things to happen for newark ave and downtown jersey city. coming back from an injury (fractured femur + a bonus tear in my hip labrum - yeah!) and having not worked out in months, my physical fitness was at an all-time-low. i turned to Jane DO initially for the convenient location. started off really slow. it was definitely a challenge just getting through a class. fast forward a few months later, having consistently taken classes three to five times a week, i feel focused, fit and more energetic than ever! onto the Jane DO trainers... the real reason you'll keep coming back. yes, the studio is great! it's bright and clean; towels, lockers and fresh flowers. but any member of that Jane DO team (all so charming, knowledgeable and motivational) could seriously get me to workout in a crooked back alley in the middle of a rainstorm, just sayin'. toward the end of class, when you're all shaky, drenched in sweat and don't think you can stomach another burpee, they'll inspire you to dig deeper, get stronger, and you'll leave class feeling EXHILARATED! not-to-mention all the energy you'll soak up from your fellow-JANEs sweating alongside you. i full-on recommend Jane DO to all women looking for solid workouts (and they offer a variety of them) that are challenging, fun and effective. THANK YOU, Jane DO. p.s. they have a fantastic mobile app! read more

Finally! A barre class of high quality in JC. Danielle and Jacey, the owners are the warmest, most professional workout related people I've ever met. It is different from other barre classes since they have their own style but they keep in mind posture and working it all. Will definitely continue going throughout my pregnancy (teachers are super kind and offer me alternatives as I get bigger) and then will go post pregnancy to shed it all off! read more

Wow LOVE this place! I have been going for about 2 months now and I can definitely see a difference in my body. Ive worked out regularly my whole life but these classes constantly challenge me. I was bored with my regular workout routine and Jane Do made it fun again! ALL of the instructors are super nice. I wish I discovered this place sooner :) read more

I love Jane DO. Never have I been with a gym/studio that I've felt even a remote sense of belonging to, but Jane DO really has my heart and has become such an important part of my life. I wouldn't have believed myself a year ago, but now I'm a loyal Jane because I always feel empowered whenever I attend classes, and that makes me want to go back again and again. The all-women environment makes me feel really comfortable, and I like that while the instructors are always challenging and pushing us to be better in class, they also remind us that our bodies are different everyday and might respond differently, so it's ok and normal if we feel like we can't push ourselves further -- I really really appreciate that so much because I've always felt those differences (possibly due to hormonal fluctuations throughout the month) and felt quite alone when dealing with it because in the past, my trainers have always borderline-taunted me about how "abnormal" that was, about how I was not getting stronger/strong enough, and shamed me for it, which made me feel really uncomfortable and insecure about my body. All of that has changed since I joined Jane DO, and I think I've gotten a lot more confident and comfortable with my body (and with myself in general) as a result. As long as Jane DO continues to be a judgement-free zone, I'm gonna keep hanging around. My favorite classes are Tramp Stamp and Barre Naked! Tramp Stamp's great for me because I hate running/jogging and being on threadmills, so going to Tramp Stamp is literally the only reason I get ANY cardio done. I love all the different choreo so it's not like we're all just bouncing on a trampoline aimlessly. Barre Naked is a low impact strengthening class that focuses on small movements, and it may not look like much when we're doing it, but I sure feel it after every class. It has been amazing at toning my muscles, and the low impact part is awesome because it's not too demanding or straining on my body, but I still get a great work out every single time. My favorite trainer is Maria Teresa, and I try my best to make it for her Barre Naked classes on Friday because she's such a positive person and she's always proactive at offering advice. I have very tight shoulders and it often causes me problems, but it has gotten better since Maria taught me how to loosen the muscles at home with something as simple as tennis balls! I'd definitely highly recommend Jane DO for ladies who looking for a nice all-women environment to feel comfortable sweating it out! read more

Best class ever my new favorite class in JC! Tramo stamp and dance your ass off are my obsessions - great instructors and facility - I don't have to travel to the city anymore read more

Love this place! I have only been a few times through class pass but I am very tempted to join! If I didn't have a full gym membership already I would join for sure read more

Dance Your A$$ of with Jacey is one of my favorite classes but all of the classes and instructors are pretty amazing!

I've been going to JaneDo for about two years and I love it more and more every day. The workouts are fun, challenging and constantly changing so you are never bored. The instructors are all amazing, motivating and really care about their clients. Always take the time to ask whose new, who might have an injury they are dealing with, and they cater to pregnant women as well. It's such a fun atmosphere and I feel more confident and strong after I leave each class. Could go on forever with all the best things to say. Love JaneDo!! read more

Jane Do is the greatest workout in Jersey City, hands down. If you hate the treadmill or doing monotonous sit-ups at the gym, this is the place for you. I have taken about 300 classes there in the last 15 months, and I can attest to the fact that no two classes are the same. The high quality instructors keep you interested, motivated, and inspired. Jane Do's instructors have a dance and fitness background, and the co-owners are former Radio City Rockettes, so you really are sweating with the best of the best. I cannot thank Jacey and Danielle enough for bringing this innovative studio to Jersey City (and now, Edgewater!). The instructors are all contentious of anyone with any injuries and are quick to show you a modification if you have bad knees for example. Now having a great workout with a great instructor is nice, but what really sets Jane Do apart is the sense of community that flows through the third floor and keeps me coming back. I have become great friends with various clients and instructors and it is so lovely to see them in class and around Jersey City. We have celebrations after finishing a "challenge month" (which they do about every other month), we meet up for drinks after class and we even went on a big trip to see Katie, one of the instructors, perform as a Radio City Rockette in the spring spectacular. It is the raddest sisterhood around. So no, the classes are not cheap. It is an investment on yourself to have a stronger body and stronger mental grit. How many times have you joined a gym and then fallen off the wagon!? It is hard to do that at Jane Do, where the instructors and staff actually care about you, they compliment you and your progress, and where they teach such a fun class that you won't want to miss another. If you're still reading this, good luck in your first class, and I look forward to sweating alongside of you! read more

I love the classes here, the warm and friendly atmosphere and enthusiasm of the staff, the fact that they love what they do, the playful class descriptions and the feeling like the studio meets you where you are and seamlessly caters to newbies and regulars alike. The tramp stamp classes are my favorite, but also love the toning and conditioning of Train Jane, Floor Play, etc -- great addition to downtown, and really fun workout I actually look forward to doing! read more

I tried The Sports Barre through Classpass and loved the classes, studio, and instructors so much I ended up purchasing a set of classes specifically through the Sports Barre so I could go more often than the 3x per month limit through Classpass. First of all the studio is branded in an adorable way. Inspirational and fun sayings are plastered throughout the place and the feeling of the studio is so positive and warm. Every time I've come to class, the staff has been very welcoming and friendly. I've actually had some instructors come up to me specifically at the end of class to introduce themselves when they hadn't met me before. It's those little extra efforts that really make The Sports Barre stick out. It always feels genuine too. What's best though is that the classes are truly amazing. It's a great workout that is simultaneously really fun. For me the classes never feel like an hour and I always look forward to going to class. Here's my personal breakdown on the classes. Sports Barre and Barre Naked are easily my favorite!! 1. Sports Barre - This is their signature class and is a nice mix of cardio with resistance training. High energy and you will sweat! 2. Barre Naked - This is a true barre class. While it's not high impact and does not involve cardio specific routines, you will sweat. After taking this class several times, I really attribute my increased strength to this type of class. 3. Tramp Stamp - This is a trampoline class but also has some work done off the trampoline with weights which is a nice touch. Good work out and fun but for me personally, I don't feel it captures the true strengths of what Sports Barre has to offer like the first two classes above. ( i.e unique moves/routines and energy in class that can't necessarily be replaced at other studios) 4. Dance Your A$$ Off - This class is focused on dancing. You'll learn a basic and high cardio routine and repeat the roughly 8 moves throughout the length of a song. Each song is a new "routine." Fun to just let go and let the music inspire you to keep moving but my least favorite of all the classes offered. I don't leave feeling as strong. Also, the first two classes seem like I could only experience those at The Sports Barre while this class seems like a fun yet not particularly unique dance class that is specific enough to The Sports Barre. In short, if you're at all debating to try out The Sports Barre -- do it now!! read more
