It was even the studio I would use when I would come up and visit. Nola is attentive, communicative, and a very capable instructor. The classes are well paced and challenging!

Do not recommend. The instructor is very unprofessional -- she was late to every session (without…read moreapology or acknowledgement), and through our Duo classes she was eating, working on the computer, doing her hair, changing her clothes...) rather than attending to the class. The classes are very boring and repetitive (I've practiced Pilates for years, and rarely do the same thing twice with other instructors), and although there is constant correction and criticism, there is very little instruction. Finally too frustrated to continue, but she refused to refund for the last classes.

I really needed a lot of help at first and she was very patient and really worked hard with me to achieve the goals we had set. She really knows her stuff. Her studio is meticulously clean and has so much equipment. I am now fitting in clothing I never thought I would again. I can't believe all we have achieved! I highly recommend her studio and services. I'm now adding Pilates to my workout at Mary Lou's suggestion. She hasn't steered me wrong yet. I look and feel great!

So I would like to update this review because there have been significant changes over at…read moreBarsculpt. I was a long-term customer there, with a regular weekly schedule and LOVED the class itself and my usual instructor. The owner very recently downsized to a small studio which made for some really inconvenient changes that are really hard to ignore. The first is parking, the old location had a decent amount available, but the new space in the State Theatre building does make it challenging if you're commuting. The second is the price hike. I used to get my 5 class pass for barre only for $55, which was a steal. Totally would have been okay with a reasonable update to align with competitors but it was hiked to $100 for a 5 class pass, which is really unreasonable in my opinion. Granted this price includes reformer and barre, but for someone who doesn't do reformer classes it's definitely not worth it. The last piece is the class times. They used to have a wide variety and I always had at least 4-6 people in my 5:30p classes. The new space only has classes until 12-12:30 which is truly not helpful for people with jobs! Overall, still a huge fan of barsculpt as a class but not a fan of the new space or business practices.

I like this place so much I bought a gift certificate for a friend so she could join me. She now goes as much as I do. She LOVES it. Confession: for a long time, I did not exercise (other than walking everywhere) because I found it boring. The workouts at Barsculpt always change. It is truly never the same thing twice. It's always a challenge. Going to Barscuplt not only help me get in the best shape of my life, it has help me calm down, feel centered, and more connected to the community of Portland.
