I very much enjoyed my first class and signed up for a membership same day. I consistently go to studio 2x a week at least (more if there is a challenge ongoing) and even joined the bookclub at the studio. Neighborhood Barre also supports other small businesses in the area by holding pop-up classes at other establishments in Fuquay. With a variety of intensity, class formats (barre, strength, cardio and combination classes), class lengths, I definitely get what I am looking for in my membership.

When I walked in the ladies were genuinely nice and welcoming and took an interest in getting to know me. They were incredibly helpful. People often don't try new things for fear of being judged and that simply was not the case here. Unlimited classes was about $129 a month but there is also a 10 class package too- something for everyone's budget. They offer barre workout and also yoga. Happy to have gone!

This was my first time working out in a very long time and she was really good about letting me take it at my own pace and listening to my body and what it would allow me to do. The parking lot is small but street parking is available. The studio was very zen and I enjoyed being able to exercise while looking out at the beautiful weather and trees through the windows. They have everything you need to do barre. You just need to bring yourself, a water bottle and grippy socks and you're good to go. I'd definitely check this place out again.

I enjoyed their 4:30 afternoon classes and some of their Saturday classes. Many Barre studios only give you access to one location, so I loved that they gave you access to multiple.

Their Pure Barre app made it easy to sign up or cancel classes too.

When I think of barre, I think of perky, petite young women gracefully poised beside it, doing…read morepliés and point... building up their slender legs to support and sustain them with an incredible combo of strength and flexibility. The workout trend Pure Barre is designed around getting that dancer body... But through totally different means! I'm talking dubstep. Blasting as girls place kickballs between their thighs, then squat, tuck, and tooch (to borrow a term coined by Miss Tyra). It's true: I never thought I'd be booty-tooching to Scrillex... outside the privacy of my own home. The workout started with some simple stretches and upper body routine, and some floor work in the form of plank and pushups. They only have dumbells in 2, 3, and 5 pounds. The short number of reps and low weight made this section of class completely un-challenging for me. But that disappointment was eased by the next part, where we stepped to the barre and focused on hips, thighs, and --as they like to delicately call it in Pure Barre-- "seat*." [*I don't have a seat. I have a bubbalicious boo-tay. Which is why I wanted to go to this class in the first place. So for clarification purposes in this review, my seat will instead be termed butt.] The most annoying thing for me was that the instructor demonstrated very few of the positions (perhaps due to lack of space on the barre); and it was difficult for me to follow her instructions some of the time. Many of the movements are so isolated, it's hard to look at a classmate and copy from what they're doing too. So parts of it did not feel tough... which left me wondering if I was doing the movement correctly. But other parts had my entire lower body shaking like a leaf, butt and quad muscles on fire. And I absolutely felt those muscles recovering the following 48 hours, so I know I did at least some of the things right! Class finished up with some ab work, which I also felt was too easy, and some finishing stretches. One hour flies by pretty quickly. And I can definitely see the appeal in a class that's shaped like this... getting all the core muscle groups into one workout. But I would personally prefer a class that focuses exclusively on the lower body, to round out my own exercise regimen and perhaps benefit my running as well. I did a drop-in class that was specially priced at $10; reasonable. (Their regular drop-in is $23.)

It was so nice to have the opportunity to have a free trial class just for newcomers to the studio and have a chance to understand the foundations of the workout and ask questions. I decided it was right for me since I was looking for regular strength training workouts. I like that there are a variety of packages available so I could pick one that fit my schedule and budget. The workouts are challenging, but the instructors are all friendly and encouraging and the music is energizing. It's easy to book or cancel workouts on the app. I'm glad I chose to incorporate these classes into my exercise program. I would recommend this studio to others, especially if they like Pilates or yoga and want something with more intensity.

I have been loving Barre3! I read all the reviews beforehand so I had an idea what to expect. The…read morefirst class was torture for me, but it got much better after that! I did learn that sumo squats are not my friend!. If you have been to Pure Barre I would say the classes have similarities but Barre3 has more cardio/yoga and a more intense warmup. I like that they throw more cardio in, it makes it feel like a better all around workout. I hate when you go to a new studio for the first time and no one really shows you the ropes. Not the case with Barre3! The front desk had already marked down that it was my first time so after a bit of paperwork I got a quick tour and learned what to grab for each class. Tori C was an awesome instructor for my first time back at the barre in years. She was friendly, motivating, and always there to give me a helpful correction. I have also really enjoyed Suzanne's class. She is upbeat and motivating! The AC was not working at full force during the last class and she had me so much in the zone I didn't even notice. Highly recommend checking them out. They even offer child care at a super affordable rate during class. I think that is such a nice touch for moms. **Really bummed they are no longer letting Class Pass people sign up for classes, the only option now is a 7pm weekday class. I completely understand not letting Class Passers in to their busiest classes, but for example Tuesday at noon, that class is usually pretty empty. I was told they ran the Class Pass test for a year to see what they thought. Sad this will no longer be in my weekly routine.**

Every studio is so different but I have to say barre3 is definitely one of my favorites. What makes barre3 stand out? 1) more cardio then other barre studios 2) lot's of mirrors and a much bigger room then some of the others in town 3) childcare (no I don't need it but I have so many friends I want to bring to workout with me and none of these boutique studios have childcare but barre3 does!!! ) Check the times though they only offer it for certain class times. 4) easy parking I was sweating puddles in this class an really enjoyed the cardio aspect. I also enjoyed the burn in my muscles the next day which means I got a good workout. We did a crazy plank series as well that was very challenging. I'm here to workout and that's what I got at barre3, can't wait till my next class.
