Barre Bohemian

I’ve taken about 8 classes at Bohemian Barre so far, and I am very happy with it. I found them through classpass, and may even buy a class card from the studio, because the classpass limit of 3/​month isn’t enough for me at Bohemian Barre.
Everytime, it’s been a nice group of people. It’s a tight fit but once class is going, it doesn’t seem to be a problem. You can take one of the end mats if you want a little more space.
I’ve taken class with Elle and Helen. Both are positive and helpful, and give a very difficult class. Some experience with yoga, pilates, ballet, or another barre class would probably make you feel more comfortable going here for the first time, but the instructors are very welcoming about taking breaks when you need, so I think anyone could try this class. Each class has been different routines, which I really like. I’ll definitely be a regular here.
They lock the door as the class starts. I love that, since it is distracting when people come in late, especially at such a small place. But if you have a tendency to be late, definitely give yourself some extra time. They don’t make exceptions to the ‘no late guests’ rule.

I don’t write a lot of Unilocal reviews, but I always try to do it when I encounter a truly exceptional business that warrants a review. Barre Bohemian is amazing. I am SO glad they opened out in West Seattle.
The studio is small but very charming and intimate. Parking is on the street, but readily available! The space is always clean and neat, and there are plenty of weights, straps, etc. in the back of the studio. Super cool mural on the back wall, and the front has these charming upholstered chairs and boxes on the wall for storage. Adorable and practical.
I’ve only taken classes with Adrienne (the owner) so far, and she is AMAZING. Seriously. She’s incredibly talented at leading her students, giving clear direction, and pushing you just a little bit further (#tinylifts). Her classes are incredibly varied and creative. I don’t think you could ever get bored. I’ve been to four or so classes and I don’t think I’ve repeated a sequence, which is amazing. Barre is a tough workout! Don’t be intimidated… Some basic yoga knowledge would be a plus (but definitely is not required). Most importantly, you can tell this is a body-​positive space, and I have never felt out of place or not *right* for these classes. All the other students are friendly (especially at 5:45 AM!). Adrienne’s energy and enthusiasm is infectious (again, even at 5:45 AM!), plus she has great music. I am excited to take classes with all of the instructors at BB!
Pricing is very reasonable (especially if you purchase the class packs), and classes are a full hour.
I think it’s only a matter of time until Barre Bohemian is so popular that it moves into a larger space, though I’ll miss the cozy little studio :)

Absolutely in love with this studio, from the concept and design to the workout!
I am new to barre but have been practicing yoga for a few years now. The workouts are tough, tiresome, but achievable! I usually catch Elle and Adrienne’s evening classes but have taken classes with all 4 of the instructors. All are so sweet, welcoming, and helpful.
Not to mention the studio and decorations are gorgeous! Definitely making barre bohemian a part of my weekly routine :)

The quality of instruction at Barre Bohemian is truly impressive and the instructors’ energy is infectious. If you’re having a no-​good day, one class will leave you with a smile on your face feeling like a total badass. The music is perfectly timed with the moves. Hard core and precise, yet welcoming — my fave barre studio in Seattle!

This is a phenomenal workout! It’s unlike many barre classes I’ve been to because of the expert mix of different styles — interval training, yoga, pilates, and barre! I swear that each time I was at my breaking point the style would change so that I wouldn’t die. The music was perfectly connected to the intensity of each thing we did, so that it would motivate you when you needed that extra push and would calm you when the intensity declined. Amazing!
And the instructors are freaking fabulous! Wow, I can’t imagine better people to be leading these classes. They are so energizing and somehow make these difficult workouts fun!
Be prepared to be sore the next day. I feel like I can already see a difference in my abs! While it is definitely a hard workout, they provide the necessary support for beginners. Because it is such a great mix of styles, there are no experts in the room, so everyone is learning with each other!

This is a very cute little studio and a great addition to West Seattle. I just took my first class and it was a good experience. The room was packed full and everyone who attended was friendly. The instructor was body-​positive and energized and that is what made this class truly worth doing. The music was a nice mix of fun and relaxing, at the right moments. I will say to anyone considering this class, it would be extremely tough for a complete novice. I’ve taken quite a few yoga and pilates classes, and although I am by no means advanced, I am in decent shape and this was a super-​tough workout.
Some existing yoga knowledge before entering the class would be helpful to make you feel more comfortable with the pace (in my opinion). This isn’t a criticism by any means– Each studio is different and that’s awesome! I just think it’d be super intimidating for a total newbie and am sharing it as more of an «FYI». I did like that there seemed to be a varying level of experience in the room, although most were quite experienced… Some of us stopped to take breaks when necessary and adjusted moves to better suit where we are at. I admit to feeling a little intimidated by the pace, myself, but I rolled with it and took it as a challenge. In this particular class we didn’t use the barre aspect– it was mostly weights and floor work, so I’m excited to try that in the future at this studio. I think Barre Bohemian will be extremely successful and continue to grow!

Adrienne is the absolute best! She’s so positive that even though she works you hard you still feel great. I haven’t had a chance to try the other teachers yet but I’m sure they’re great as well. This place is a gem.

Love it. Definitely the best barre experience I’ve ever had.
