Would not recommend this Pilates studio to my worst enemy! Attended classes for over a year and…read morewas very happy and willing to pay high prices for good instructors. My husband purchased a gift certificate for a year of unlimited classes as a gift to be redeemed starting end of March 2019-2020. Beginning of March all of the instructors that I have used were fired or mysteriously left abruptly and now the studio is left with new people without the level of expertise or training I previously paid for. The owner won't let me out of the gift certificate or even make it right in any way even though the services they offer now is no longer comparable and she knew I was only getting a year of lessons with one instructor we even spoke about this. People who paid credit card were able to get out of contracts but those of us who paid cash she won't let out of it. Action reflects leaderships and the owner of this studio handled my business dealing as well as a hand full of other clients very dishonest. So I do not trust anyone there. Stay away at all costs. Club Pilates seems much better and safer use of your money. Many people from align are there now that were also treated poorly!

When my friend shared The Barre Code was hosting a free week of classes for their 4th anniversary,…read moreI was interested to try out the studio. My only experience with a barre class was at the Northeast YMCA and based on the website clips, these classes looked much different. It was easy to create an account and I signed up for 3 classes throughout the week. For all classes you will need toe socks. The studio sells these but you can also find them at retail stores or Amazon. Toe socks come with toes, without toes or halftime toes. It's really personal preference. My check in on the first day was super friendly. The ladies at the counter greeted me, found my name on the list and had me sign a waiver. Heather is the owner of the studio and I seen her every day I visited for classes. She made each visit personal and checked in on me before and after class. I seen her do this for several people and my friend also expressed how much she enjoyed her (as a regular at the studio). Two of my classes were barre, taught be two different instructors so I got a unique experience. I love that! One class involved 2 or 3 lb weights and a small exercise ball while the other used a band to wrap around your calves or thighs. Other tools like stretch bands and weighted bars are there for other classes. My third class was called brawl and I had no idea when I walked in that's what I signed up for. It was a kickboxing class. It was intense and the class learned a routine that left us drenched. The studio is a rectangular room with padded floors, mirrors and a ballet bar. Music and temperature is controlled (and one class called burn turns up the temp to 85!). The instructors wear a headset and you can see them as the walk around or in the mirrors. The music is kept upbeat and loud, the lights are dimmed. It's a great atmosphere for you to concentrate on the class and your well being. Free lockers are offered and bathrooms in case you need to change clothes. Set up is limited so there's no need to get to a class super early, although it's nice to relax and get a few stretches in. Packages offer a variety of options. You can do an unlimited monthly or 4-pk monthly. You can also buy a group of classes that don't require a membership and can be used over 45 days. You do not have to commit long term because a 30-day cancellation is offered. Very nice. I highly recommend this studio. Try something new and be good to yourself!

With a combo of elements such as cardio, yoga, conditioning, and weights, I always leave feeling sore but in a good way. I started this year in January 2023 and try to go at least once a week.

Now, I'm not someone who sticks with a particular workout regimen, gyms are not my style. However, Barre3 is different. It is a combination of yoga, Pilates and barre founded by Sadie Lincoln. (Also a great listen on "How I Built This" on the origins of the company.) I've been coming here for 7 years. I've done community classes, I've bought class packages, I've done live steam and been in the studio. What I'm most thankful for is that this is a welcome, opening community. You are welcomed every time you come to the studio. Anyone is welcome to join. I've had friends join me who felt the body positivity during the class and felt welcomed. They frequently do community classes in locations like Paristown or at Work the Metal. I've enjoyed these classes too as an opportunity to share Barre3 with friends. In the spring/fall, they typically do class pack sales where I purchases classes so I can come and go as I can. I haven't done the monthly membership only because it is hard for me to go on workdays. The instructors (Abby, Mel, Kelly, Emily, Becca) have all been amazing. They have different styles and I workout something new every time. This community makes me happy and makes me feel like I belong. It has taken me so long to find a fitness community that does that for me. I'm so glad Barre3 has been here for 7 years, and cheers and gratitude to more.
