Barre3 is the most inclusive and welcoming workout space I've found in KC!…read more I was nervous to try Barre3 because I don't have a dance background or much flexibility, but after taking a few classes through ClassPass, I ended up signing up for a membership. The workouts are genuinely fun while still being challenging. Over the last three months, I've taken Strength, Signature, and Mindful Flow classes, and every instructor has done an excellent job programming workouts, offering modifications to make movements either more accessible or more challenging, and giving helpful form cues throughout class. I also appreciate that the class routines change monthly. It gives you enough time to become familiar with the movements, build confidence, and progressively increase weights before transitioning into something new. The studio itself is extremely clean, and they provide everything you need, including mats, weights, blocks, and bands. I especially appreciate that it's not a heated studio and that instructors are intentional about the room environment by adjusting fans, temperature, and lighting so classes stay comfortable and focused. Another thing I've appreciated is how responsive the studio has been to member demand and that they genuinely care about their members. In the few months I've been attending, they've continued adding class times and formats, including convenient 5:45 AM and 5:45 PM options that fit well into a work schedule.

This is one of my favorite workout studios in the city!! I found this studio on ClassPass but ended…read moreup loving it so much that I bought a membership. They offer a student discount which is also a nice benefit! I've been consistently taking barre3 classes for about 6 months and I know I have gotten stronger. It's rare to have a strength class that is focused on lifting weights where the whole class is in sync with the instructor. I also love the signature classes which are more traditional barre. Other barre studios rely on traditional ballet position names, but barre3 is much more accessible in my opinion. The instructors are all wonderful, but I especially love taking classes with Meghan! The studio provides all of the equipment you need, including sweat towels and mats. In a world where the heated studio is taking over, it's nice to have a traditional studio format. The main reason I attend this studio is because they offer a 5:45 am class four days a week. The only thing I would change is that it would be nice to have a mindful flow (yoga focused) class offered later on a week day. Your first class is free, so you have nothing to lose by checking it out!!

This women's only gym focuses on a boot camp style program that's great for women of all ages and fitness levels. The trainers do an amazing job pre-planning out the daily exercise routine. They lead the class and explain how to do each workout with modifications as needed for various levels of skill. It was easy to join the group day one and not feel too out of place. The workouts are legit though, and definitely allow you to really push yourself to the next level. Their program includes a heart monitor so you can see in real time on a monitor how you are doing throughout the class. It motivates me to kick it up a notch to target those higher fat burning levels. Great, clean facility with so much attention to details. There is a large bathroom with changing areas and two showers. Soaps/shampoos available. Best part by far is free childcare, let me repeat, FREE childcare during your workout. They even offer balance meetings where ypu meet with a trainer to discuss the right nutrition plan for you and set up specialized goals. Amazing!

So far, I have had such a great experience at Paradiso Pilates!…read more I'm a newbie but it was easy to find contact information through Yelp. Someone texted me soon after I reached out for information and she was clear and helpful--which made me feel comfortable before I even stepped through the door. They offered a free 30-minute introductory session, which was the perfect way to get familiar with the space, the reformer, and one of the instructor's teaching style. Signing up for classes is super convenient through the Achieve app, where you can check availability and manage your schedule easily. There are a variety of reformer levels, mat, athletic and tower classes held early morning, afternoon, and early evening. The studio itself is a boutique style--small, clean, and well-organized, with five reformers that allow for focused, personalized instruction. After I signed up, they sent a detailed email outlining class etiquette and pricing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for offering a special package for teachers--such a thoughtful touch! I'm looking forward to experiencing the other classes offered!

I have a long history in martial arts and boxing, and as I get older, I turn a lot towards cardio…read moreboxing and kickboxing classes to keep up my core health and endurance. Of course nothing can replace Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in my life, but I already train regularly where both advanced kickboxing and BJJ are taught. Title is not that gym. However, recently my grown kids have shown an interest in the cardio and training from a boxing class like Title, and honestly there are few places in the Kansas City area that can provide a consistent training experience with plenty of space and bags to handle a mixed class of beginners to advanced boxers. The location is also very convenient to at least half of us. Two of my adult children asked me to take them, so I passed out gear, showed them how to wrap up and stand and hit, and dragged them in for a few intro classes. It was not a disappointing experience! I'm not in the shape I was when I was younger, and I've been down with injuries and unable to train hard at my regular gyms, so the classes we took at Title kicked my butt nicely. My girls both enjoyed the experience as well, and it turned out there was no need for me to help them (they don't want to listen to me anyway) because the friendly staff was prepped with everything from teaching basic stances and foot movement to proper strikes and technique. They even could have provided loaner equipment and they showed them how to wrap their hands. Now... I don't wrap because I'm old and calloused and set in my ways - and in my day we used to punch bare fisted until we bled out our weakness. I don't like that they don't throw out combinations by number (naming the strikes throws me off), and I don't like that there are no kicks. I'm thinking, in my grumpy old man way, that I'm the wrong student to have in class. However, I'll tell you that treating the class like a 45 or 60 minute boot camp (time depends on which class), you can push yourself pretty hard. For me it takes getting past calling out the strike names instead of numbers, overcoming my old deaf ears trying to follow the instructions over the music, and then I got a great sweat on! Lots of ab work! Burpees rock! Lots of time to focus on basic technique! And I got to do something fun with my grown kids! I'm just gonna give this place 5 stars, because *yes*, I signed up for the unlimited plan so I can keep dropping in with my oldest two kids for some bonding, and a hard workout tailored to where my body is. If I was going to take away a star it would be because the Title membership does not transfer between locations. That's disappointing. One of my girls lives right next to another location, and she decided not to make it a regular thing because she couldn't go to the closer place without asking me to add a second membership.

This is by far my favorite workout ever and after four years of KC living, I keep coming back for…read moremore! Bar Method is a high intensity, low impact class that makes you sweat and shake during class and makes you so sore the next day. The whole concept revolves around contracting your muscle to the point of exhaustion (hello shakes!) and then stretching and lengthening your warm muscles immediately after. Bar method was designed and vetted by physical therapists - and the studio floor is the same as a gymnast floor - so it is awesome for folks with joint issues of any age! The structure of the class is always the same - warm up includes an upper body workout with weights, followed by push ups and tricep dips. Do not let the light weights fool you- the exercises and reps make 2 and 3 lb weights feel like 20's! Next comes the meat and potatoes of Bar - LEGS AND BOOTY! Calf raises, 3 grueling sets of Thigh and a next-day-waddle-worthy booty workout. Stretches at the bar and in the floor are incorporated throughout. Finally, Abs and a little back dancing (channel your inner Call On Me music video)... Oh the instructors are ALL amazing, encouraging and each have their own way of empowering you to push through your sets even though you want to stop. The classes are personalized since the instructors know your name and call out corrections and encouragements throughout the class. They are also hands on to ensure you are in the best form possible! Music sets are also awesome and are constantly changing for fun varieties! Overall, in case you can't tell, I am a fan of Bar Method and encourage everyone to at least try it out once! It might look like you are barely moving but I promise it is a HARD workout! The method strengthens your posture, creates longer leaner muscles and improves flexibility! No dance experience required by the way - I am not a graceful or flexible person but I love how strong I feel when I leave class (and how sore my body feels too)! Come on in and shake it out!!!

Going into this studio for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. I don't keep up with the…read moreseemingly endless workout styles out there, and having never been graceful, like ballet dancers, this wouldn't have even made it on my list. Over the years, I've tried pilates, Insanity, yoga, and random YouTube dance videos; and only yoga seems to stick, although the results I get with yoga are more mental than anything. With Bar Method, I started seeing quick results. Basically you are doing small movements that fine-tune specific muscles, followed by intense stretches to give you an overall leaner look. The exercises are safe for everyone. What have I got to lose? Plus they ran a birthday special the day I came, so I decided to commit to 1 month. Initially, it was challenging to follow the structured routine - I was doing the plank wrong, or I slouched too much, or a slew of other reasons. Fear not, the instructors take the time to learn your name and will instruct or come around to adjust you. In a 60-minute class, you get to target your arms, shoulders, thighs, legs, glutes, back, abs...so basically you will be sore the next day. No doubt about it! My jello-y triceps scream at me every time. Truth be told, halfway through, I want to give up and crawl into a ball. But I keep pushing, because everyone else is working hard. The instructors are well-rehearsed in the routines. They are exceptionally toned and charismatic. After taking 8 classes, I can honestly see some definition in my arms and legs. Here we get to the catch, because up until now, life's peachy! For someone like myself who just switched careers, starting out fresh, this is not something I have the budget to continue after my month is up. There are many positives though for people who can afford it, so I encourage you to seek this out for great results!

It was a hot yoga class, and I was sweating a lot, but I left feeling refreshed, relieved, and really glad I came. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be looking into taking more classes here. The instructor was great and brought really good energy to the class. There were a few moments where the pace felt a little fast, though, and combined with the studio layout, it made things slightly challenging at times. The pillars in the room can block your view, so there were moments where I couldn't clearly see what she was demonstrating and felt a bit flustered trying to keep up. I can see how that might be frustrating, especially for someone newer to yoga. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. It was still a really strong class, and I enjoyed myself. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a good sweat and a solid workout.

Also, the locker rooms for this gym are upstairs from the studio, and they're incredible. The facilities are clean and well kept so, if you need to take a shower after a class you can do so comfortably. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. Another plus, as a new student, you get 7 days free to really take as many of the class formats they offer to see what's the best fit for tour fitness goals.
