It's about time I left a review for The Barre Code- I have been raving about this place to my…read morefriends and family ever since I discovered it through ClassPass in August! For the longest time I had told myself I would start some sort of fitness routine but I had never found anything that I enjoyed enough to stick with. I've tried a few barre classes at other studios before finding The Barre Code, which is truly unlike any other studio I've been to, and has motivated me to actually want to work out. My favorite part about The Barre Code is that the classes are held in studios with dim, blue/pink lighting. It makes me feel more comfortable because 1.) it's dark enough to not feel every physical insecurity being perceived by others, 2.) bright enough to still see and focus on yourself, and 3.) it feels almost like a bar/club with the upbeat music and fun lighting, which puts me in a good mood to feel MOTIVATED to move around and do the workout. I have loved every single instructor I have taken here so far, they've all been extremely welcoming and helpful with correcting my form and offering modifications to make the workouts more or less challenging. Bridget, the owner, is also really sweet and I can tell she is passionate about her studio. I also like the variety of classes they offer (I recently tried Brawl for the first time and that was such a drastic change from the Barre classes I'm used to; I look forward to eventually trying Lift+HIIT and Sculpt+Flow as well)! I know this is a super long review but I just wanted to share my experience and encourage others to try a class out at this studio (if a standard Barre class is intimidating, try Barrestore!). I've been returning for 2 months now and could see improvements in my body's physique and stamina during the workouts. 1000/10 would recommend a million times over

I love this place! I've almost hit 25 classes and see myself going for years to come…read more I am not a huge fan of all group fitness classes, but this one takes the cake as my absolute favorite. I love the HIIT style with intervals of running (speed, incline) and strength training (body area targeted differs depending on day of the week). I always leave feeling confident, energized, and like I got a GREAT workout in. The instructors are so motivating and energetic that it's genuinely contagious. I also like how every single class I've been to is different-- they switch it up constantly and are really creative. To top it off, they made me feel like a queen on my birthday with this sign at check in. They also left a birthday card on my treadmill. Love Barry's :)

New comer with an excellent class experience, however, I regretfully report that this location fell…read moreshort on their hospitality. I came in with 3 of my girl friends, we were all new to this location and class. Let's just say, this 50 min run + lower body focused class was an absolute caloric BURNER!!! Our instructor, Jen D., was so motivating and truly pushed all of us to our pinnacle -- absolute kick as* of a coach and I personally recommend trying out her class, even if it's just one. We took a 6:40pm, 50 min class, and wanted to shower afterwards. On 2/27/24 there was a rain storm we didn't realize was projected to happen after our class. We went in for a shower, and as soon as I stepped out, a kind member of Barry's let us know about this storm and that she would appreciate if we could try to get ready as fast as possible so that we, along with the staff won't be stranded there. She mentioned she along with the rest of her coworkers would like to leave early for this purpose but, that they will stay until we leave. I didn't get her name, but she was forth coming about making us aware of a storm and that we should head out as soon as we can. I was drying off and changed into my clothes and dried the roots of my hair (unknowing of a *rain* storm, ugh!) I would not have tried drying the roots of my hair if I knew it was going to be pouring outside! After briefly doing that, she came back in and let me know the closed at 8pm and that we needed to leave so, I understood but was still waiting for my friend to get out of the shower. It's 7:55pm, and a different member named Tina came in and in a very rude tone told us that we were given warnings to leave, yet we were not leaving. I reminded her that I was fully dressed waiting on my friend who just got out of the shower and that once she gets clothes on that we will leave. I asked for her name and she mentioned I was being inappropriate for asking. As I was trying to de-escalate the way her approach came off, she stormed out of the ladies locker room. I was shocked! We got our stuff and walked out but before leaving, I mentioned this was my first time and I didn't know they closed at 8pm, nor was I aware of how severe the storm was, truly! I mentioned to Tina I don't want bad blood but, this experience she gave me made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. There was no true apology for how she spoke to my friend and I, but now I just don't feel welcome which is hard to say after a great workout. My friends and I would like to keep going to this location and we wished we knew more about closing times ahead of our workout to plan accordingly and ultimately avoid this unnecessarily uncomfortable experience that was truly brought on by how we were talked to. I'm sure if we were trusted to leave after being communicated to kindly, we would have shed a few minutes from our time there. We left at 8:23pm. Again, I would love to keep coming here, but now I'm questioning keeping my package and currently on the fence about recommending this location to athletes in my network. It is so valid to feel frustrated and almost irritable at guests that aren't moving fast enough; I feel that! It is not okay to talk to people in the way we were talked to. It's not hospitality, it's hostility, and it's truly not something I'm sure was intentional. At the end of the day, we're paying for the class and the experience at Barry's. We left disheartened by the way we were talked to. I'm a very easy going gal and deeply understand that everyone is going through something. Everyone. But again, we were complying and there is a way to talk with people - this was certainly not one of them.

I got in touch with Kosta and he offered me a chance to visit the facility with my friend. Unfortunately I hurt my foot and couldn't attend the class for a few months. Luckily Kosta reached out to me before their 4 week Thanksgiving program started at the end of 2016. I admit that I was nervous about starting such an intense program but I'm so happy that I did! It was an absolute great experience! The skills that I learned through those short four weeks have absolutely changed my mindset about living a healthier lifestyle. In the beginning of any fitness journey you tend to focus on the number on the scale but Kosta taught us to look beyond that so we can make small weekly changes. I genuinely rarely like training with a trainer but at CFP they don't consider themselves trainer but as coaches. I love the comradery that you end up having with the individuals in your class. The workouts are extremely tough but they teach you that you can do so much more then you could imagine. I would highly recommend checking out CFP at least once!

I go to their small group classes and it feels like a personal training session with their 1:1 corrections.

They are highly educated in both general population clients and professional athletes. If your looking for a great space to workout after coming back from a workout hiatus look no further. I highly recommend.

They have amazing workout regime and definitely impactful strength training classes. I've attended Sean's Run X Lift classes for upper and lower body and loved both of them! Sean is my favorite trainer!! He is super motivating and I love his sassy comments throughout the class. I usually opt for Double Floor(DF) where you can skip the treadmill and just use weights all class! What I don't like about Barry's is that they're a bit unfair to ClassPassers lol. The credits required to signup for Barry's through ClassPass is usually on the higher side and even after using those credits, you are not guaranteed a spot for DF as they are limited. Also, their only Lift classes are almost blocked for ClassPass and one can never sign up for them! I am hoping they increase more slots for ClassPassers as I definitely would like to try more of their workout regimes! P.S. They also have free massage gun stations outside the studio from Theragun which you can use pre/post workout, which is really good and I don't think I've ever seen that before!

Now as an adult I took a solo trip to Chicago and saw the fitness studio. Nostalgia came running towards me and I booked it. My first class was on my 34th birthday and I went every day since on my trip. I love everything about it. From the friendly staff to the facility. Staff was friendly, inviting, and motivational. Shot out to Holly, Katie, and Spencer they know how to push you and make you feel so proud of yourself and rewarding. Personally I had been feeling extremely depressed for about 6 months about my body and my capabilities. Let me tell you this was the best thing I could have done for myself to gain back my confidence and abilities in physical fitness. I felt and feel more capable and the self worth and low self esteem about my body has stopped. They made me feel capable and strong of so much more than I gave myself credit for. Thank you to everyone at Barry's you truly touched my life and I am forever grateful. I'm sad and dark times you inspired me and made me feel worthy again. Thank you!
