Xtend Barre Encinitas

I highly recommend this barre studio! I absolutely love the classes taught by Emma Radwick.
Her enthusiasm and bubbly, happy, positive energy make such a difference in helping me stay encouraged during class.
The woman at the front desk has been so welcoming and helpful on each of my visits, too. I think the energy of every fitness studio is different, and it’s so important to find studios where you feel right at home and among friends.
This place stands out to me because I’ve been to several other barre studios using ClassPass in the last couple of weeks — and Xtend Barre Encinitas has hands down been the most friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and fun for me!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The classes are an awesome workout… not to mention great music, lots of fun, and fantastic instructors. We do a class every Tuesday with my FitMama Mingle meetup group. The Mamas and Babies absolutely love it. It’s a great way to get a workout, meet some other moms, and allow the babies to socialize. Robyn’s classes rock, btw :)

Teachers here are friendly and have awesome energy and skills! Great workout for those who are looking for slightly more intensive training focusing on cardio and stretching. I have been to 3 different barre studios and this gives me the best variety of exercises that I can feel a difference afterward. I’d drive all the way from la Jolla to Encinitas every week for the class! Hilary and Stephanie are among my favourites. Ps. They also carry super cute and stylish yoga/​barre outfit too.

I’ve taken a handful of barre classes at various studios over the past five years or so and I’ve never really liked them. I’m still not in love with it, but that’s not the studio’s fault.
I’m totally uncoordinated and not a dancer. I am mostly a yogini and every barre is very much the opposite of what I’ve been training my body to do. It’s a mental trial for me to point my toes, turn my hips and knees out etc.
So anyway, the five star review is this: The studio is super clean, all equipment other than grippy socks (who wants to share those anyway) is provided to you, the teachers are EXCEPTIONAL. On my first visit I received a few hands on adjustments and tips. The teacher knew my name and checked in with me before, during and after class.
I didn’t know any of the ballet lingo but the workouts are very easy to follow. Sure I was a few counts behind but no one seems to mind.
I am still not in love with barre but this place is so welcoming (and a block from my house), I will definitely return.
Parking is easy.
I am not sure of their membership prices, but they are part of the Fitn network.

Ther best studio bar classes in town. Super clean and classes are so dynamic and different. Love :)

Xtend barre was the best groupon purchase yet! Took classes throughout my pregnancy, and now after! The instructors are educated, watch you to make sure your form is correct, and super fun! I highly recommended!

Love this studio ! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The studio space is clean and bright. The workout is fantastic. It is scalable to work with your body and it really is for all levels of fitness. Every class I’ve taken has been a full body workout and never the same class twice. Plenty of parking too :)

Love Extend Barre. I was visiting Encinitas recently and found this little gem conveniently located just off the 5 and Encinitas Blvd. Alyssa is a fantastic teacher: she is positive, upbeat, attentive and an overall delight. Sarah is a lovely teacher as well. Her cues are spot-​on and she is very thorough as well. I am so happy to have found a studio away from home! Thank you Xtend Barre! I will be back!

Best studio and best work out Ive ever had period.

They have moved locations, just around the corner (431 Encinitas Blvd) right next to the In-​N-​Out. I love this studio, the people in the classes, the teachers, the workout, everything. I was hesitant to try it out because I am in no way a «dancer», nor did I posses ANY coordination. It was easy for me to pick up on, though the first few classes I probably looked like a hot mess. :) I have been going consistently for about a year now and can say that I don’t get bored and continue to see improvements and changes in my body. I am stronger and more fit than I have ever been, with lots of lean muscle. I have always been slightly self-​conscious about my legs and this workout has sculpted them so that I can now wear shorts proudly. I recently became pregnant and have fallen even deeper in love with Xtend Barre. The workout is absolutely ideal for a pregnant body. I only need to modify on ab work and can continue the regular workout. It is the right amount of intensity and I feel great after class. Other workouts while pregnant, have just not felt «right» to my body. I plan to go to classes up until the day I give birth and jump back in as soon as the doctor clears me to exercise again. A few things I especially love about this studio: your first class is always free, so you have nothing to lose and they have an app that allows you to buy classes and sign up for classes too. It’s nice to check the app and see how many people are enrolled in the class and to plan out your week of classes!
Update! My labor and delivery were so super easy. My 5’2″ frame birthed a healthy 9lb 3oz baby with ease. I know that I was able to birth so easily because of the consistent workouts I did at the barre. I pretty much grand plied that baby right out in the hospital room. I kept my body strong and engaged throughout pregnancy and it really paid off. My Dr. even commented on how strong I was during labor and helped me channel that strength into pushing properly. I also lost all of my pregnancy weight (except for 5 lbs) within the first week. So, yes… I really really reccomed Xtend Barre! I just took my first postpartum class and it felt so great to be back and shaking at the barre. Can’t wait to tone my body up and it’s so nice seeing all my favorite instructors and friends at the barre again!

I bought a two week living social for Xtend Barre and was able to use it at least 6 times during the 2 weeks. The classes were so entertaining and fun that I immediately bought a package at the end of my trial. This location is excellent and there is tons of easy parking too. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking to change of up their routine and try this fantastic work out. You’ll feel totally comfortable from the minute you walk in because of the friendly teachers, staff, and owner. I highly recommend this place and will be back often!

In town for kids soccer tournament and had an extra hour in my schedule to stop in for a class. Enjoyed the Saturday morning class with Robyn. She is one of their newer instructors, but don’t let that fool you… she kicked my butt! Just wish I lived closer to attend more often.

Great studio! Loved the Saturday morning workout with Robyn. Can’t wait to try all the instructors.

I first tried Xtend Barre thanks to a Groupon Deal and I will never forget the first day I walked into the studio. I was nervous as all get up but thanks to both Sherryl and Emma for giving me the low down on what to expect I began to feel at ease. After the first class, I was hooked! I immediately created an account online and signed up for classes ahead of time which kept me committed to going — no excuses! Some classes get full so I recommend always reserving a spot. I was in decent shape when I started taking classes at Xtend Barre and had been used to taking Zumba classes but nothing will quite prepare you for the burning, shaking, and sweating you feel at the barre. The Encinitas studio is very nice with plenty of fans to keep the air blowing on you — you will love the fans being that the studio is warm. They have individual cubbies that you can store your things in so you don’t need to worry about leaving anything in your car or brining a lock for a locker. You are provided a mat, weights (1,2 or 3lb), stretchy bands, balls, and straps — no need to bring anything but yourself and your socks. The classes are the perfect mix of just about everything needed for a solid workout. The warm up gets you moving and ready followed by a solid arm workout with your weights. Don’t go straightaway for the 3lb weights thinking you got this because chances are you will need to drop to the 1 or 2lb weights — yes, the arm workout burns but feels so good! Don’t think that you won’t get your cardio fix in because you will. What I love so much about these classes is that you focus on isolated movements. While some of the moves look basic and easy, trust me, your booty will be burning, legs will be shaking, and sweat will be dripping! The classes end with a great abs section that is more than just a few crunches. The instructors continue to push you throughout the last remaining minutes of the class and you will for sure get your monies worth.
I have been going three times a week but as of late stepped up to 4x per week. I have lost weight and several inches just within the 2 months of attending classes. Barre is more expensive than a basic gym membership but I no more expensive than a personal trainer and while you are in a class — these instructors are like your very own trainer. They are all amazing ladies and incredibly knowledgeable in what they teach. They will walk around and correct your position, help you stretch, and continue to encourage you to get lower in your ballet plié squat and to raise your heels. So you can continue to pay for the gym membership and run on the treadmill for 30 minutes followed by a weight routine where you probably get half the workout you do with a barre class. By attending these classes, you will tone in all areas, become more flexible, lose inches, get stronger, and have better posture than you could have imagined.

I found a Groupon for this spot, and I’m –thrilled– I jumped on it. I’ve only done 2 classes so far, but I already love it. First and foremost, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner really has her stuff together and is on top of things. It’s so easy to reserve a spot in class online, which also helps me stay committed to going. I recommend reserving a spot, it can get really busy.
I’m a regular exerciser, and i love that I’m challenging my body to something different. I’m no dancer, so simple choreography is really nice. It moves very quickly and I find it hard to keep up, but I’d much rather that than be waiting around.
I’m saving my pennies to continue Xtend after my Groupon is up. I’m excited to see the results! Be ready to sweat, it’s HOT in there!

unfortunately had to move out of Encinitas, but have a GC for $ 10 but worth $ 110. It expires 7÷31÷11. Check it out on CG and its yours!
If first timer, this is the cheapest way for you to get hooked on the best booty body workout ever.

This workout is insane. I’ve never been a big fitness type of girl, can’t stand the gym and have relied on my decent family genes and running with the dog to stay in shape, but this class has made me realize I need it to build lean muscle and work on my core.
I’ve been going for about 5 months now and know that the instant the class starts, I’ll get an excellent workout. The instructors are amazing and keep you motivated, I get the feeling they honestly want to help you sculpt your body (and one look at their bodies and you hope one day you can look like that).
I’m not a good dancer and was a little shy at first with the ballet aspect, but they make it easy to understand and pick up — yet don’t keep it boring or repetitive. You definitely feel the burn and will sweat (bring a towel!) but it’s good and class flies by.
Only complaint I would have are more classes during the weekend (sadly I’m a commuter and sometimes it’s tough to get there during the week). Some have said it’s pricey but if you check around, it’s actually a much better deal than most yoga or pilates classes.
Highly recommend!
*Disclaimer, I knew one of the instructors and that’s how I heard about it but it would take the mafia to keep me away now. I’m addicted!

Have you seen my bootay lately?
Nope.
Well me neither. Because it disappeared and in its place are my new buns and legs of steel compliments of xtend.
OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But, xtend barre reshaped my body more efficiently than anything else I’ve every done including hot yoga and marathon training. It’s a fast and fun (if feeling the burn is ever fun) mix of precise toning, cardio and pilates with various accessories, to fun music. The hour flies by. xtend teachers seem happy to be there and the class size is always very manageable.
Per class price is pricey. But there are some good packages and specials. And you should go 10 times to see the results you want. I did two weeks right before my wedding and my man said he’d never seen me look so toned.*
*I don’t work for these guys. I just found the studio through a living social deal and became a new fan!

This was my first bar pilates class and I am HOOKED! I have never been a dancer. I’m your typical white girl who thinks that snapping is always appropriate and you will frequently see me fist pumping on the dance floor. With that being said, I was a little nervous that I would have a hard time with the class because it’s a fusion of pilates and ballet. But my fears quickly subsided during the first class. The movements have a dance feel to them, but even if you aren’t a dancer, you can pick them up pretty quickly.
I signed up for this studio after a living social promo and I am definitely considering signing up for a longer period of time. The bar method is a different kind of work-​out than any other one I’ve experienced. The movements are really isolated and you can definitely feel each muscle group as it’s working. I am thoroughly enjoying the class and I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is interested in trying out a new type of work-​out.

Took a Sunday 8:30AM class. Don’t underestimate the small range of motion for most of the exercises, and the small weights, this workout will get your muscles to fatigue and shake (which is a good thing).
Having been a fitness instructor for 15+ years (I started REALLY young – in my teens), having had ballet training for 20+ years + dance company experience, I can say this worked my body hard.
The routines are not super challenging in terms of choreography, but you will be sore. I can’t wait for my DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) to set in so I can tell how hard I worked. :)
By the way they are running a monthly special, $ 79 for unlimited monthly classes. Also handing out free tank tops.
Oh, the instructor seemed nice. :)
Tip: 1^st class free!
