Awesome studio. I came here as part of South Block's free fitness classes and signed up for unlimited right after. They provide a great variety of classes that are hard but interesting. No two class has been alike for me which I appreciate. My favorite class is circuit 7 where I typically burn ~500 calories based on my Apple Watch. read more

I walked by Xtend Barre and decided to check out a class. I was recovering from surgery and extremely out of shape. I wasn't sure what would be appropriate for my (lack of) fitness level but they helped me choose a couple of less intense classes and it was really fun! The instructors are really fun and positive. I've been going for a few weeks now and I can feel myself getting more fit. read more

Fantastic classes and a welcoming environment! Instructors push you while still making their classes accessible for people of all skill levels. read more

Recently moved to the area and signed up for the 2 week trial!! I love this studio! They have a wide variety of classes and so many great time slots throughout the day. You can also join a class on zoom. The barre classes are very classical based but you still feel that burn and get your heart rate up!! I also like the sweat and Pilates and circuit classes! All of the instructors are so nice and make a point to learn your name and ask you how your class went. It seems like a great community with a very positive environment! Do keep in mind you need grippy socks for barre but you can purchase them at the studio! I can't wait for my next class and to try bounce and stick! read more

I recently joined Xtend Barre and I really like it. The stuff and instructors are very friendly and nice. Dana, Michelle and Colleen are the best! Exercises are challenging but fun. I would recommend Xtend Barre to everyone! read more

I decided to give barre a try after so many of my favorite yoga studios closed and I was pretty nervous since I had gotten a bit out of shape in the meantime, but I am SO glad I tried it! The studio itself is immaculate, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (love not having to lug my mat around!). And everyone has been so nice and welcoming, making sure to get my name & ask about my experience/injuries. Group classes can be intimidating when you're new but not here, the instructors are so supportive & attentive regardless of your level. They offer modifications/amplifications, correct alignment, and sometimes just throw you compliments to keep you going. They keep the vibes really light and fun too which is sooo helpful to get through challenging classes. Particularly Stephanie, you want to hate her for burning your glutes beyond recognition but you just can't because she keeps you smiling at the same time! I also really appreciate the wide range of class times and variety of classes they offer, there's so much more beyond traditional barre. I planned to attend mostly yoga & pilates but I've pushed myself to do more cardio heavy classes too. Even when I feel I'm really struggling to keep up, I work up a good sweat and genuinely have fun. read more

I went to a class here and I had a very average experience. This is the second location I've been to. When I walked in, no one greeted me, but I figured out how to sign into the class using the iPad. Overall, the staff were nice enough. Throughout the class, the instructor didn't provide much guidance, any modification options, or corrections. The one time she did, she kept her mic on. She didn't ask if anyone was new or my name at the end. The whole vibe seemed very cliquey but hey, I guess it's the neighborhood's vibe? In contrast, at the other location (Old Town), the instructor (Melinda) was much better. Melinda made sure that each student's form was correct -- she would mute her mic and come help you. She came over at the end of class and asked me (the newbie) my name, how I liked the class, etc. I think I'll stick to the other location. read more

Super fun, efficient, and effective classes! The instructors are engaging and enthusiastic, keeping a sharp eye on both the remote and in-studio clients, guiding everyone quickly into proper form and providing smooth transitions to the next exercise. Every class I've taken has been unique and creative. I'd have given five stars, except they changed the schedule right after I signed up for a membership and now I'm having to rearrange my own schedule to try to fit my fave class (Fitball) in. read more

Xtend Barre Arlington is phenomenal. I am pretty picky with where I work out. A studio has to have the correct vibe, instructors with personality, and flexibility with the workouts. After injuries to my knees, wrists, and loosing full motion in my elbow I can't go anywhere with a 1 size fits all approach. Xtend Barre not only has all those qualities I look for but, far exceeded my expectations. After taking 1 class I actually signed up for a membership because I was convinced I found something that fit. Not only is the staff incredible and the owner a gem but, the other clients are really awesome. Everyone I have encountered is friendly. Instructor wise I haven't taken everyones classes.... Yet...Dana will leave you laughing (seriously 1 class with her and I am a member), Lara will leave you feeling muscles you didn't know were there, Sara left my yoga instructor friend wishing he was in better shape, Maria pulls off 545 am classes with the appropriate level of "lets go" (I am seriously not a morning person at all but, I get up for this), Melinda may seem quiet but, she will leave you feeling a burn with a giant smile, and Arina encourages you to push for that few extra seconds without being in your face like some standard gym classes. The instructors introduce themselves when they see a new face and you are always greeted with a nice hello. Honestly, I give them props because I don't know how they keep faces and names straight. I can't stop this review without raving about the owner, Kelly. She has created an incredible studio (even the bathroom is nicer then the dorms/apts. I had in college... very spa like) and filled it with amazing people. She isn't scared to get into a class and sweat with the rest of us. The best part is she lets her instructors instruct and just blends in. It's refreshing to see her constantly interacting with clients and joining us in the class. She also has a super sweet furry one she brings along to the studio some days to "work" as a greeter. Really you can tell she believes in the work outs and had a vision she's striving to continually expand without sacrificing the service. Props to the lovely ladies at Xtend Barre. read more

I originally tried XBA through ClassPass. At the time, I was using ClassPass to try all the different Barre studios in the DC area to see if I could find one I liked enough to take the plunge and become a member -- after my first Xtend class I knew I had found it! I took advantage of the Black Friday promotion they were offering and became an Elite member. I've tried Xtend Suspend (TRX) as well as their classic Xtend Barre. I haven't been able to try all the other offerings but I'm looking forward to that! What I like about the barre classes is that they're all similarly structured so you know generally what you're in for (start with arms, move into planks/pushups, then legs, ending with core), but the workouts themselves are always different, so that keeps me more mentally engaged and keeps the body guessing. While it's not high impact (better for your joints!), I'm always sweating after 15 minutes so I know I'm getting a good workout in. The studio is very well maintained and filled with friendly faces. There are lockers, showers, and changing rooms. All the instructors I've had so far have been great! They always offer modifications. For example, I have weak wrists, and they're always encouraging me to take planks on my forearms or pushups at the barre if that feels better for me. Overall, it's been a great experience so far at XBA and I'm looking forward to spending more time there in 2019!! read more

I've enjoyed going to classes at the Alexandria location and am thrilled that there's a new location. The space here is really lovely. If you have tried barre at other places in the area you know that many can get CRAMMED if there's a full class. This space is large and open, and you won't feel like you're crammed in with your neighbor. There are also lockers with built in locks. It was a tough class, but plenty of modifications were offered (for making it easier or harder). I probably could do with a few more adjustments, but I think those kinds of things are instructor-specific. Also, the music - I love that instructors at Xtend get to pick interesting selections. It's tough to keep going when your music is always the same or repetitive in nature. Yay, welcome to Arlington, Xtend! read more

Great atmosphere and instructors! An excellent low impact burn. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely love Xtend. I would go every day if I could but I end up at Barre3 (not as fun or as good of a workout) because they provide a play lounge for kids during their mid morning class every day. Will Xtend ever offer this option? read more

I have taken Xtend Dance, Circuit 7, Stick, and Barre at this location. The facility is always spotless and every class I've taken is great! I've probably had four different instructors and I like all of them. They have fantastic energy and are very good at correcting form. I love that I can get strength and cardio at the same studio, and often even in the same class. My favorite of all the classes is Circuit 7, which is an absolutely incredible workout - honestly one of the hardest classes I've taken in the DC area. read more

Xtend has a really great covid policy, and they go above and beyond to make you feel safe. After each class, you wipe down the equipment and they will double clean everything afterwards. You register for classes ahead of time to make sure you get your own box and personal area. Each class indicates whether masks are required, and all the instructors have been amazing! read more

Beautiful studio convenient to Rossyln and Courthouse. The staff are incredibly welcoming and there are a variety of classes, from moderate to challenging, to keep variety in your workouts. Xtend's app is really great for scheduling classes and keeping track of your progress. Can't say enough good things about Xtend Barre! Highly recommend! read more

This studio is amazing! So welcoming. I was a first timer and it's always intimidating going to a new studio, but the instructors I had were incredible and helped out with form in a friendly and motivational way! I've loved the Circuit 7 and Xtend Suspend classes SO MUCH! :D read more

Xtend Barre is everything I have been longing for. Let me explain. I don't want to sound like an obnoxious, pretentious New Yorker, but I will own it for the sake of this review. I have had the privilege of working out at some of the most notable and results-driven boutique fitness studios in the world while living in NYC for 15 years and Xtend can absolutely hang with the best of them! Moving to the DMV area gave me severe anxiety regarding my workouts. For nearly two years I have gone from studio to studio doing HIIT, Barre, Pilates, Mega-Reformers....the list goes on and on. My body was never challenged or displayed the results I pushed so hard for working out with the likes of trainers like internationally renowned Anna Kaiser. Three classes in at Xtend and I am HOOKED and a already see a difference in my body. Xtend offers functional training and diverse movements that will keep your muscles guessing using several tools/apparatus for resistance and stabilization. The teachers seem to be seasoned performers/trainers who have a clear understanding of form and safety. The studio itself is gorgeous and the retail is exciting and fashion forward. I can't speak highly enough about my experience thus far. Xtend Barre is hardly your run of the mill barre class. You will (and should) sweat and get a full body workout that can satisfy resistance, strength and cardio in one hour. Additionally, prices are extremely reasonable for membership. TRY IT and I will all but guarantee you will see results in 5 classes. You've got nothing to lose but inches and stubborn fat :). read more

Great place to take a barre class, especially if you have danced prior, it is a really great feeling to be in a studio, and the movements in the workouts mostly stem from dance so I have enjoyed it a lot! Also, I love the circuit classes that Xtend barre offers! Such a good workout and always leaves me a bit sore (which I like). Definitely try it out! read more

Love taking classes here! So many different classes are available at a wide variety. All the instructors are friendly and willing to help!

Xtend Barre Arlington is such a phenomenal studio! The classic barre workout is more aerobic than your "normal" barre class so you have the opportunity to burn more calories while you tone. Additionally, Xtend barre offers multiple other class types ranging from yoga or core centric to HIIT or TRX classes. read more

Xtend Barre provides a great environment for excellent workouts! There's a wonderful range of classes and everyone at the studio is supportive and friendly. read more

I am absolutely in LOVE with Xtend Barre! I have tried a few classes at the other location in Alexandria (which is awesome as well, but too far to go everyday given I live in Clarendon). After transitioning from the more Olympic type workouts I had to do throughout high school and college as a volleyball player, I have really become a huge fan of barre workouts in general. I have tried many barre studios (both in this area and in NYC), and I have to say that Xtend is my favorite due to the added Cardio element. It gives you a GREAT workout - and you honestly have so much fun doing it. On to this studio specifically, the owner Kelly is so great & passionate about her studio! She truly goes out of her way to ensure her customers are happy - and is open to all feedback. Everyone who works there is super welcoming and sweet, and it really feels like a community! Not to mention the space is GORGEOUS...it could seriously double as a spa! (and they sell really cute workout clothes). If you are at all into taking barre classes / boutique fitness, you MUST try this place out:) read more

In general, I hate workouts, gym, and all other activities for the sake of fitness. I only like to sit and read and write. Unfortunately, as we grow older the muscles tend to stiffen if we don't use them. I started getting these weird cramps out of nowhere. So, I decided to try xtend only because it's close to my work, it is meticulously clean and there is a lot of stretching. I also don't like working out in sneakers and here they require grip socks. Well, I love it! I want to go every day. People are nice, each instructor has a different approach and they are all valuable. I think I will stick with it for as long as I can. read more

This is a great Studio - the classes have been fun and the Instructors engaging. I like the the studio is like a boutique and there are plenty of extras. The only issues I have seen is that the classes book up fast so you have to plan at least a week in advance, also memberships are costly! I tried the 2 weeks unlimited - i will have to see what package works the best with my schedule as well as what is cost effective. read more

I've been taking classes at Xtend Barre for A couple of years, and I swear I've never been to a bad class. The instructors are all amazing, energetic and friendly. The classes are also challenging, but manage to be fun at the same time. I love that the classes are more rooted in ballet than a lot of other barre studios -- it brings me back to my dancer days! read more

I am sad to be moving away from this amazing barre studio with strong and supportive women both running it and taking classes here. When I first moved to the area, I didn't know anyone and was going through a lot of personal changes. Xtend Barre helped me get back in shape and make several new friends along the way. Kelly, the owner, and all the instructors (Jen, Macey, Arina, Marty and Laura are some of my favorites) are welcoming and warm, but they aren't afraid to call you out and push you to do your best. I can only pray that the next barre studio I join will be nearly as great! read more

I am new to Xtend Barre and a absolutely love it! The instructors go out of their way to make you feel welcome from your first class. The whole studio is very up beat and have amazing energy! The classes are very challenging and each new class I learn something new. I am so happy to now be a part of this community. read more

My roommate has been going to Xtend Barre in Arlington for months now and I finally had an opportunity to attend two stick classes with her. I absolutely loved the workout as well as the other classes I have taken thus far, barre and barrecamp. Every instructor I have met or attended a class with has been so welcoming. The small studio sizes and comforting support that you get from Xtend Barre is just another reason why I have enjoyed my 2 weeks new member package so far. The workouts are amazing! You get a true full body workout and feel sore the next day in the best way possible. I would highly recommend giving Xtend Barre, Arlington a try! read more

I have been attending classes for a month or so and absolutely love them! I joined because of a special I saw on nbc 4 around the holidays and what I saw peaked my interest. Joining was the best thing I have done and it challenges me each class and they have exceeded my expectations. I had a baby girl about 10 months ago and I needed something to get back into shape to keep up with her and feel strong again. I cannot say enough positive things about the instructors, the studio, and the environment. If you want to have fun and get an amazing workout you need to try the classes at XTEND BARRE. Thank you to all the staff for starting my journey. Nicole read more

If you aren't a fan of tucking and pulsing for 3 minutes straight, XBA is for you. They do more dance choreography for their leg work - get ready to do all the plies - that makes class fly by. Don't let the fact that it's a different and more fluid approach to barre fool you. Just after taking three classes I'm feeling sore all over. One of the things I like about XBA is that every class is different and you don't get bored. The space is beautiful and I've never felt cramped even when it's a full class. The instructors are very welcoming and great motivators. I feel like XBA is one of the studios where they really go out of their way to correct form to make sure you're getting the best workout possible. read more

As my New Years resolutions I decided I was going to take Barre classes again. As a person who recently moved to the Arlington area I went to at least 3 different locations until I decided the relaxed, open and comforting atmosphere of Xtend Barre was for me. I have taken a few classes over the past month at the Arlington location and I am in love. The staff and the teachers are Amazing and actually take the time to teach/correct your moves. The times are great and work perfect for my busy schedule and I am seeing small changes in my body and great improvement in my posture. I look forward to seeing the changes in the coming months! THANK YOU XTEND BARRE! read more

I've been going to this studio for a week (5 classes now) and I LOVE it! I've fianlly found the Barre studio for me. Everyone is welcoming, every instructor is fantastic, and the studio is always clean. In the bathroom they provide you with all the toiletries you need to freshen up along with hair ties and clips. It's exactly what you want from a high end studio. Like I said though, everyone is down to earth. Before most classes start I chat up the woman next to me and found everyone to be super nice! It's a studio where you can feel the community around you (even though I'm only five classes in). I'd recommend signing up for classes in advance - most fill up, but I haven't had issues yet. Also, they post a lot on Instagram and that just keeps me super motivated! Only caveat is the classes move quickly - be sure to get your form right even if everyone is moving fast! read more

Signing up for the two-week new client special at Xtend Barre was one of the best decisions I've made since moving to Arlington. I've only taken four classes so far, but I can already feel a difference in my body. As I am new to barre, I particularly appreciate the instructors' corrections to my form. They are also quick to compliment you when you've successfully corrected your form, offering positive reinforcement and motivation. Starting each day with Xtend Barre has made this week very rewarding. I will be sad when my two-week pass is over, but I will definitely sign up for more classes in the future! read more

I joined Xtend Barre a couple of weeks ago and my experience has been nothing short of AWESOME! I register for the New Year Special and I already feel like it's been such a steal. When paying for a membership I like to get the most out of what I pay for and the fact that Xtend Barre offers the variety of classes that it does, is why I'll be continuing to go to this studio. It's the most variety that I've ever seen with a Barre studio. Every instructor I have had has been positive, helpful, and a joy to take class from. The studio has a great community. It's a laid back, VERY clean, and a motivating environment which is exactly what I look for in gym/studio. I'd highly recommend Xtend Barre to all fitness backgrounds and personality types. I'm so so glad that I gave this studio a chance and suggest you do too :) read more

This is by far the best barre studio in the area. I love their variety of classes, and they're really fun! The classes here are more fast paced than I have experienced elsewhere, but I feel like I'm getting a lot better workout that way. It's definitely never boring. The instructors and front desk are very nice and welcoming as well. My only hang up is the classes get booked so quickly! That's not really the studio's fault though, it's really a testament of the quality. read more

I've never ever ever ever written a Yelp review, but I had to show some love to Xtend Barre Arlington. I chose the original Xtend Barre class at 5:45am with Dana Krell. It was my first time doing barre and it was my birthday. Kelly, the studio owner, walked me through the entire check-in process and welcomed me to the studio with open arms. She answered all of my questions with such patience and showed me around the studio so I knew exactly where everything was. When I returned from the bathroom, they had decorated a spot on the mirror with a balloon just for me! The instructor, Dana, was so kind and informative and made sure to check in with me before, during, and after class. I like her teaching style: she demonstrated a lot of the moves & provided modifications to make it easier & harder. The class itself was fun and went by so quickly! The studio itself is beautiful. I could eat off the floors if I wanted to. The bathrooms are stocked with everything a girl could need/want after a sweaty gym sesh, and the space is so open and bright. I honestly loved it there and am eager to settle down into a routine so I can go more often! TLDR; the owner/instructors are great, the studio is great, the class is great. Do yourself a favor & come here. You won't regret it! read more

Great studio! I really love their classes and always feel like I get a great workout. The facilities are gorgeous, the equipment is really nice, and all the teachers have been enthusiastic and encouraging. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about this studio! The studio itself is beautiful and well maintained and so much thought and care has been put into the amenities available for their clients. The staff is friendly and incredibly personable, always checking in to say "hi" and see how you're doing (and they even remember your name which I haven't seen in other local studios I've tried). The classes are the perfect amount of challenging, you'll sweat and ache but the teachers keep you motivated and are so upbeat and positive that the class flies by. If you're thinking of trying it out all the classes are great but my personal favorite is Lauryn's Barre classes, she's just so much fun and a great motivator. Everyone on this team is so enthusiastic though, you can't go wrong. read more

WOW. Am I working out or at a spa day?! Yesterday was my first class at Xtend Arlington. When I first walked into the beautiful and welcoming studio I was instantly greeted by Kelly, the owner, with a huge smile. She is super passionate and loves what she does and her energy just spreads throughout the studio. I was hugely impressed with the beautiful studio...the spa atmosphere, punch code lockers, fabulous apparel for purchase, friendly faces, etc. OK and onto the workout. I am a regular at Xtend Alexandria (which is closer to my home) but definitely worth the trip to see Kelly's studio. And the instructors are fantastic. The class was taught by Dana...GREAT music mix, awesome workout, worth every second. I can not rave enough about Xtend Barre in general. As a competitive triathlete it has made such huge improvements to my running so I keep it up. I have been injury free since I started almost a year ago. And I continue to go not just for the fitness but also the friends I have made :) And my body feels fitter than ever at age 37. Thanks for welcoming me into the Xtend family ladies :) read more
