Carolina Barre & Core

I can’t stop talking to hubs about this place. A second Barre studio will now be in my rotation thanks to Class Paas.
Madison …I can’t thank you enough for your welcoming encouragement. You and the other instructor (that opened the doors for me because I was a whole hour early) were super nice. Even the girls taking the class were extremely nice.
I love Carolina Barre and Core because a) they’re approachable, helpful, encouraging and so much fun and b) because I got modified options for some of the moves. I figured there were modifications but No one explained them… EXCEPT Carolina Core and Barre. Madison helped me get into some of the hard positions and paid attention to me every step of the way… and verbally gave modification options!!! Awesome. To felt the burn and I hated and loved every minute of it. Every class I attend I feel like the better I get.
It’s convenient to home and Ina great location. Parking is tricky but there are additional spots on colony road. Bring your own water or there is water for sale for $ 1. (No water fountain) loved loved loved it! Soooooo looking forward to my next class!!!

I’ve been attending classes at Carolina Barre & Core through ClassPass — and I really enjoy them. Its a great barre-​inspired workout that gets you sore in all the right places.
The studio is small and welcoming. My first time there, they gave me a tour and definitely made sure that I felt welcome & at ease. I’ve been in classes from anywhere from 2 — 10 people. The instructors make sure you know what you’re doing and will help you make modifications where necessary. The class times are great and parking is easy — they even sent me a coupon for a free class for my birthday.

Cannot say enough great things about CBC! Not only do they offer a variety of classes and times, but the staff genuinely cares about each and every person that walks through the door. Whether you are seasoned at barre or have never stepped foot into any type of yoga/​Pilates studio (like myself) there is no intimidation factor. I highly recommend Carolina Barre & Core to anyone who is looking for a challenging and rewarding experience that will make you want to come back day after day!

Carolina Barre and Core is awesome. I was never one for «working out» until my friend asked me to try a class with her at CBC. I was hooked from day one! The instructors are amazing, welcoming, helpful, and fun. The classes are hard but full of encouragement and laughter. I am grateful for the amazing instructors who push me everyday, the friendly faces who greet me and work out beside me at every class, and for the changes I have seen physically and mentally. I have been attending classes for a year now and I am looking forward to many more.

Love this studio! I started going 1 week ago and I’m hooked! The introductory special is great. You can go to any of the classes unlimited for 2 weeks. This gives you a good length of time to really determine if it works for you and fits your schedule. The workout itself… no pain, no gain! I highly recommend Carolina Barre & Core!

Great find, incredible, friendly staff and very challenging work outs.
I have attended classes taught by Amity, Susie and Jordan and really enjoy each one. Each follows a similar sequencing during class but has her own individual spin which is great. You won’t get the same class each time you attend. Love the variety, clean space and challenging work outs!
I always enjoy classes at Carolina Barre & Core. I’m hooked!

I have attended 8 classes so far and I can definitely assure you all classes I have attended so far required a «break» for me in the leg and butt blasting routines. Don’t get me wrong I love the soreness for the next day or so especially since I am in pretty good shape. I have been to pure barre as well but what I really enjoy about this studio is the variety. I don’t want to attend a class and feel like I am doing the same exercises over and over again. I love the tweak in routine. The key to changing your body is mixing it up so that it does not know what to expect. I really hope they keep this up as a motto for classes in the future I would hate to be disappointed. In addition I love how they also have a Sport Fusion class to provide a cardio blast if you so desire that route in lieu of a barre routine. They also offer a OM fusion class for you yogis out there. Words out they will offer an advanced and hot barre classes for those of you that desire a super butt blast! My favorite instructor so far is Jen Payne. I have been going to the 5:30 AM classes and it is worth the early arrive time. I still hear «Squeeze that Ball blaring my brain» even when I am not in class. There is not pussyfooting around in the hour long class so be prepared to sweat and make your legs shake. The studio is clean and the class limit is 20 so sign up ahead of time to reserve a spot. Side note: No showers :(but the classes are worth the run home to shower!

I’ve trained at Pure Barre since it opened and at Liz Hilliard Studio Method but Carolina Barre & Core is by far my favorite. The instructors know what they are doing and spend a lot of time with each student making sure we’re all doing things properly. The vibe of the studio is very low-​key, come as you are. No matter what your size, flexibiity or strength is, the instructors work overtime to make sure you are comfortable. Carolina Barre & Core is come as you are.
The space itself is bright and airy… and CLEAN, which is important to me considering all the sweating I do during the workout.
I’m hooked!

Five star classes! I have tried Pure Barre and FlyBarre, but this is my favorite.
The classes are CHALLENGING, and you definitely feel it the next day. I really like Susie as an instructor because she’s very upbeat and motivating.
The classes are small, so you get a lot of individualized instruction. I appreciate that because I want to feel the burn and make sure I am doing the exercises correctly.
Classes are smaller than other area studios. I’m rarely self conscious about bumping someone on the barre or during stretches which allows me to fully concentrate on the work I’m doing.
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because there aren’t showers, and this is a challenging workout. For that reason, I can’t work out before work because I would need to go home to shower and get ready.
Give it a try! It is a A-​mazing.
