barre3

I totally enjoyed coming to this studio. It is really clean and has a very peaceful feel to the interior of the studio. The first time I came, the electricity was out so the instructor just played music on her iPhone. She was pretty encouraging and tried to help me gain better form. She noticed that I was new and stopped by afterwards to introduce herself and give me some words of encouragement. I felt super sore afterwards. I’m used to running and cycling but not the stuff you learn at barre. It is definitely challenging and a different kind of work out. I thoroughly enjoyed coming here. The one drawback is parking. You can risk parking at the Whole Foods but you might get ticketed.

I loathed working out until I did barre 3. Crystal is my favorite and pushes you! Love barre 3 and am a fan for life!

This is a positive farewell letter to Barre3 roosevelt. I did the groupon two months unlimited here this spring, and absolutely loved every minute of it. Wonderful instructors, killer workouts, great atmosphere. Just an excellent way to sweat. I purchased a 5-​class pass immediately and was thinking about joining on the monthly renewal as well. Unfortunately this summer I broke a vertebrae (It sucked, I’ll be fine) and was told by a spine specialist and a PT recently that I could not do Barre classes any time soon, if ever. Too much twisting, apparently, for this particular vertebrae to handle. Lame, but better by far than other outcomes of a spinal injury. So I called the Barre3 studio in hopes of a refund, expecting them to need a note from my doctor or some such… and no problem! Understanding, sympathy, and an immediate refund. Thanks so much, ladies. And I am SO going to miss Bo and Crystal in the mornings.

I love going to barre 3. The instructors are super friendly and helpful to correct poses and postures in a kind way. They also check in with each individual to ensure you’re feeling good and the exercise is effctive. Classes during certain times fill up completely, so make a reservation online (which is easy to do!)

My sister and I tried to go to this studio this morning to try our their barre class. However, when we showed up the receptionist said we needed a reservation. How would a new student know to make a reservation if you’ve never been?
The receptionist was completely unhelpful and said she thought there may only be one spot left in class but didn’t know. The instructor came out and said she thought she could fit us in, but the receptionist said they were still waiting on one more person even after the class should have already started.
It seemed so silly not to squeeze one extra person in, especially people who are looking into joining. Very poor customer service, so we’ll look around for other barre options.

While Barre3 isn’t as demanding as Pure Barre, I still prefer Barre3 for its combination of barre, yoga, and Pilates. The only instructor I’ve taken class with is Crystal, who is is funny and gives a lot of personal attention to everyone in the class – she even comes around before class to ask everyone their name and remembers them! She is outstanding at recommending ways for you to make the exercises your own whether you have physical conditions that require modifications, are just starting and need to practice the basic level, or are more experienced and want to push yourself harder. The classes I’ve taken have never been too crowded to do exercises with correct form, too.
After my first-​timer class pass (a great value at $ 13/​class), I signed up for another class pass. The one downside is the single bathroom, but there is a screen in the back that you can also change behind. Lockers, coat hooks, and cubbies are available for storing clothing, purses, shoes, etc.

Have been here a few times using ClassPass and had a great experience each time. The classes are fun and high energy and you will definitely feel challenged by the number of reps. The hour flies by and you’ll feel like you got a complete, full-​body workout.
Parking has been easy and the front desk staff is great and very welcoming. They took the time to help set me up and make me feel comfortable as a beginner.
The only downside is that there is one bathroom for the whole studio, which can make it challenging if multiple people need to change, etc.

Prefer barre3 to purebarre. Instructors seek to be a little more creative, genuine, and skilled as far as offering modifications and what not goes. They cue you to do what’s right for your body while also pushing you to test your boundaries. I felt a little more yoga-​ish inspiration in the classes here.

I thought I was in pretty decent condition… until I took Crystal’s Barre class tonight! What a great workout! I am going to be very sore tomorrow… and I love it! Crystal was super supportive, energetic and her class was fun! This was my first Barre class… and I will definitely be back. I have been wanting to try it for a long time, and finally decided to give it a shot. Thanks Crystal!

Barre3 Roosevelt has become my home away from home over the last year and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The staff and teachers are simply the best!
Each teacher brings their own little spice of life to class and I love that, no class ever seems to be the same.
I’m stronger than I have ever been and I have Barre3 to thank! Don’t be fooled by the tiny weights by the end of combo work you will swear you are holding 50lbs in each hand. The small isolated movements will have you shaking in no time! Embrace the shakes and you will see a difference in no time!

Barre3 + healthy eating has been my secret in weapon in slimming down for my wedding. I’ve been doing Barre3 pretty much every day (though you could just go several times a week and still see results). I’ve noticed more definition in my legs, chest, and upper body, and an ever-​shrinking tummy – I can even feel my abs now!
Barre3 is a warm, welcoming and fun low-​impact, one-​hour workout that will challenge you at any fitness level. I see diverse ages and body types in every class I go to (both at Roosevelt and at Capitol Hill). If you want to really be challenged, I recommend taking Bo or Belle’s class. Gabby’s classes are super fun, and I love how holistic the entire experience is – her joy and enthusiasm is totally contagious.
Although it’s expensive ($ 145 for a membership, I believe) I think this has the happiness/​restful experience of yoga, the challenge of pilates and will give you the lean body of the dancer (when combined with a healthy diet!). I definitely want to stick with Barre3 post-​wedding; it’s changed my life!

I tried barre3 at the Capital Hill location after friends raved about it. I was curious and tried it out. It’s a good core exercise, and I noticed differences in my strength and posture.
My LivingSocial package expires in a few days and I still have 4 classes left. But parking is a pain to find in Capital Hill so I was pleased when I learned that the Roosevelt location has a lot (although I have been told it fills up for 5:45 class), and street parking is free after 6pm.

I’ve only taken a few classes here (I also take class at the Mill Creek location), one from Angie and two from Bo, but all have been awesome. Angie will totally kick your booty, and Bo’s classes are just FUN. I’m totally addicted, I wish I could go more often, but I can only make it on the weekends.

I’ve taken 4 classes at Barre3 Roosevelt, and I love them! The client service is very good, the environment is beautiful and clean. The classes are lovely and effective. The instructors are all excellent — very skilled and just lovely women. I am very impressed with Barre3 Roosevelt and their classes are now a part of my regular fitness schedule!

Highly recommend the Roosevelt Barre3 studio! The studio is kept very clean, all of the staff are friendly and helpful. Instructors have great attention to detail, are motivating, and do a great job coaching people who are new to barre.

After attending a few classes, I am a fan of barre3.
I have been consistent with my workouts the last 6 months and needed something to motivate me. I have seen friends review various barre studios, which is what interested me. The icing on the cake is that they offer a 1 month unlimited membership to all new students for $ 100.
So far, Gabriella is my favorite instructor. I love how she takes the time to get to know her students, asks everyone if they have any current injuries/​pain and encourages us to ask questions or concerns after class. I also find her classes a lot of fun and the music is good and caters to a variety of genres.
The gym itself is clean. My only real critique of the place is that there is only one bathroom available. It would be nice to have a changing room or extra bathroom since it would be nice for those who don’t have time to change before coming to class.
In terms of the exercise itself, it has definitely help with my poor postured and worked muscles I haven’t worked in awhile, especialy my hip flexors. Personally, I don’t think doing barre alone will produce dramatic results but this is definitely a great class to add to another exercise régime.

I absolutely love barre3. I started going four months postpartum and I immediately saw improvement in my strength. It helped me lose the baby weight — and I look forward to each class! The instructors are personable and knowledgeable. Staff and owners are generous and learn your name. The space is welcoming and clean, plus they offer childcare weekday mornings. Parking is super easy at Whole Foods which is nearby. I can’t say enough good things about this space!

Squeeze that ball!
A great workout in one hour. If you go about 4 times a week you will be a solid, toned body after a while. I noticed my posture improved and I felt a lot stronger. Ballet barre, pilates, and yoga all wrapped up in one workout.
I wish they built more than 1 bathroom in this small studio in Roosevelt but at least they have this new location in the north.
The receptionist is really friendly. The teachers are nice too and I like how they learn your name.

I’m usually very hesitant to sign up for classes like this because sometimes you just really don’t know what kind of experience you’re going to get (#introvertproblems). I’ve heard so many good things about barre though, that I decided to pull the trigger on a Living Social deal.
I found 2-​hour street parking easily around the corner at 9:45 AM on two different Fridays. There was plenty of parking. The nice lady at the front checked me in, and I filled out a short waiver form before the class (you really should be at least 10 mins early for the first time) on my very first visit. The facility is very clean, plenty of cubby holes for safekeeping of belongings. Bring a water bottle, but no towel is necessary.
My classes were taught by Ann and Kinsey? They were both very nice, super upbeat, and able to correct form while running the drills — attentive and supportive. Barre focuses on small, isolated movements to tone legs, arms, and core muscles — the class was segmented as such. Small exercise balls, 1 – 3 lb weights, elastic bands, and yoga mats are provided.
Online class reservations are super easy and work for me. I had a fantastic experience over all and I will purchase classes after my Living Social vouchers are out. In 1-​hour doses, barre is not too overwhelming but it definitely works muscles you may not even know you had.

My first time doing a barre workout. I have much to learn from a good barre studio and a bad one. Overall, my first impression was awesome. The owner was really friendly and helped me get situated.
Lindsey was the instructor leading the workout. She was incredibly nice and provided instruction to the small class session in the 8:45am session. It seemed to be a hybrid of ballet, pilates, and yoga all combined into one. The best of all worlds =)
I can tell you that I could feel my core, arms and legs burn… There were 1 – 3 lb weights in which I thought… was really pansy weights. Turned out 1lb weights made my arms burn!
I purchased a new client special for 3 classes for 30 dollars. If the next three classes turn out well, then I guess I will be going again in the future. It is a fairly small classroom compared to another studio I have seen. I will be returning again soon to finish up the new client special!
