TenPoint5 Barre Studio

I was recently visiting AZ and decided to take a class at TenPoint5 (I still have to exercise on vacation, am I right?!) and was so happy with my barre class. I have been to my fair share of barre studios, and TenPoint5 is one of my favorites, hands down. Christa was my instructor and I loved how friendly and helpful she was. The class was upbeat and challenging plus the studio was clean and beautiful. I will definitely be come back when I visit AZ again.

I was in from out of town and found this location. The work out was completely fabulous. Sarah, the owner clearly knows what she’s doing and leads a fantastic class. Can’t say enough great things about Ten Point 5!

It makes perfect sense that my 100^th review goes to TenPoint5, as it is my new obsession. I couldn’t imagine sharing this milestone with anyone else!
Okay, let’s start with a little backstory. I have been trying to get back into fighting shape for around a year now. Before TenPoint5, I tried running, Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution and other various cardio methods. I learned I was the world’s worst runner with the world’s tiniest lungs, and all Jillian Michael’s did for me was pack on a bunch of bulky muscle that was not cute. It also busted up my knees, feet and ankles with all of the jumping. Nothing actually burned the fat off my body that I was looking to do.
I had done barre classes a hundred years ago with Amber W. and we both loved them so I figured what the hell, we’ll try this one again. Barre is a zero impact exercise that centers around teeny tiny movements intended to isolate and workout your muscles. Each class begins with a weight series for your arms, then moves into a section for thighs followed by glutes and then finally abs. There is intermittent stretching between each section. As I’m sure every other review says, the instructors are fantastic. They are super helpful without making you feel like an idiot, they push you to places you didn’t know your body could go to and they encourage you to «Go Beyond» throughout class. And the loud pop music playing throughout is a welcome distraction! Full disclosure, it took me a solid 3 months before I felt like I could actually make it through an entire class respectably. This shit is HARD.
I finally get to a point where I feel comfortable with my performance, my muscles are starting to get long and lean as promised, and I’ve built up a nice juicy booty I’ve never before had in my life. And then they release Biker Barre to knock me on my ass once more. I have never both loved and hated something equally as I do with Biker Barre. Half the class is traditional barre and half the class is spin. It is brutally challenging and freaking amazing. I was pleased with the way my body was changing before and Biker Barre has seriously ramped up my results. That added kick of cardio in addition to barre is doing work on my body and I couldn’t be happier.
I feel so fortunate to have found the fabulousness that is TenPoint5. Sarah, Christa, Bebo, Priscilla, Ashley and JoAnne bring the heat every single class. If you’re looking for that long, lean, toned physique, look no further. You’ve found it at TenPoint5!

As if I couldn’t love this studio more than I do — that is until Sarah and Christa added Biker Barre to the menu!
This class blends spin and barre and is the fastest hour of my life.
It’s fun and gives you the cardio benefit AND the tush exercises I desperately need.
You must try — your booty depends on it.

The best workout I have had in all my life, I’m so excited to see the transformation, I couldn’t believe how sore I was just after one low impact workout. Truly amazing.
I highly recommend this to everyone that crosses my path.

I absolutely love this barre studio! The instructors are so personable and really make an effort to make you feel comfortable. The classes are hard but I always have a great sense of accomplishment after each class. I’ve been going for several months and have been able to see positive changes in my body. The studio is beautiful and always clean. They also have a studio in Chandler if you live in that part of town. Definitely worth checking out.

I decided to get back into barre and decided on TenPoint5 Barre Studio after careful Unilocal research. I LOVE this studio so much! I’ll break it down.
Instructors– I’m a triple threat… emphasis on threat… in that I am clumsy, ungraceful, and uncoordinated so the biggest challenge I face is finding instructors that aren’t bitchy about it. These ladies are GREAT! So supportive and make it a point to learn your name early on and tell you when you’re doing a good job or help you with your form. I’ve had some barre classes where the instructors are a bit snobby and won’t help you but that’s never the case here. They are all so nice and must truly enjoy helping women get in shape.
Design– It’s beautiful! The space is long and narrow but I like it because you can always see the instructor. Also there’s a window on the back wall giving it some awesome natural light.
Classes– HARD! But obviously in a good way. OMG I HATE the exercises with the ball! As in love hate because I’m sure they’re working great. LOL Everytime the instructor says «Now grab you’re ball» I’m like «AHHH! Not that ball please!» But I’m sure in time the torture session will pay off :-) Watch; next time I go to class the instructor’s will be like «Read your Unilocal review, ball exercises it is!» NOOOOO!!! Haha. Also, it’s worth mentioning that class sizes are small which is nice because you don’t have to cram in to find space. I think the fullest class I’ve attended so far had 6 people. Awesome! Considering I’ve gone to the Daily Method and been in classes as big as 20. YUCK! You just can’t get the individualized attention, in that size, you know?
Needless to say, I’m very happy with this place!

I have been attending this studio for a little over eight months. I love this studio– the owners and all the instructors are so friendly, professional and helpful. The classes are not easy, but I always feel great after each class. The Barre Workout is great for toning and conditioning– I have seen a positive difference in my physique. After my first class last May, I received a handwritten thank you note from Sarah and Christa – I was so impressed with their thoughtfulness. I love going to a class where the instructors know my name. This Barre Workout is great for folks of all fitness levels and ages. I want my 63 year old mother to start attending the Barre studio in Charlotte, NC. I love that TenPoint5 is opening a new studio in Chandler– I have two friends that are looking forward to joining that studio. Please check out a class, it is worth the price :-)

If you’re looking for a challenging workout try Ten Point 5. Before coming here I had never done a barre class and it was way harder than I expected it to be, but in a good way. My muscles will literally shake during parts of the workout. It’s a combination of stretching and strengthening using your own body weight as resistance as well as the barre, a ball and a strap for certain exercises. Even though you’re not running or jumping or anything like that you will definitely feel like you worked out at the end.
The studio itself is very nice. It’s clean, well kept and bright and airy. And you have to wear grippy socks, which is not my preference but it does keep the funk factor of the mats down I guess.
This is good alternative if you don’t like regular gyms or are looking for a different kind of challenge.

I took a class at Ten Point 5 for the first time last night and it was fantastic! From the minute the class starts you are working every muscle but having fun while doing it. The music is loud and upbeat, the instructors are helpful, overall an awesome atmosphere to get into great shape. If you haven’t tried a Barre class at Ten Point 5 yet I would highly recommend it!

Such a great work out! Sarah the owner will kick your ass! Clean, cute place, nice people! Definitely check it out :)

I can’t say enough about tenpoint5. I discovered the studio through Living Social and am so happy I did. With different routines each day, I never get bored and my body is constantly challenged. The workouts push me out of my comfort zone, but the quick and visible results make the hard work worth it. I’ve even noticed improvement in my other sports (running, cycling & yoga) because of the new muscles I’m tapping into.
The class times are incredibly convenient, making it possible to go early morning, during my lunch break or right after work. All of the instructors are very welcoming and they work hard to make sure that everyone is encouraged, in proper alignment and getting the full benefits of the movements.
Highly recommend!

It’s been over three months since I started with TenPoint5. I’ve consistently gone at least 2x a week since and have no intention of stopping. What’s more, I’ve gone from shapeless and skinny-​fat to sculpted and strong — and in no way is that depressing.
Christa and Sarah are AMAZING and will create a virtually brand-​new experience each time you go — even if you’ve already been multiple times that week! You will always have different thigh, tush, and ab workouts, but even the warm up and stretching intervals, which are generally the same each time, have changed since I started. No matter what, NONE of the exercises are easy — all require precision, strength, and 100% attention to your body movements. For these reasons I like to lovingly tell people that TenPoint5 «my new coffee» — in other words, I’m COMPLETELY addicted to it! :-)

I love this barre studio! The reasons why I love it are: it’s clean, signing up for classes online, knowledgable instructors, the music, the awesome workout and the overall atmosphere. I hope class prices decrease but I also realize they are a brand new studio trying to get on their feet. I would definitely recommend to anyone as I go there at least once a week!

If you are looking for a barre studio in Tempe this is your place!
The Short:
–Very Clean studio and equipment
–Incredible and attentive staff
–Consistently challenging workout that will leave you shaking and waiting more!
The extended version:
I’ve been going to TenPoint5 for about 2 months now. I wasn’t exactly looking for a barre studio but wanted a different workout that would change my body. My exercise background is running, soccer, and weights. Me and my roommate saw the sign for TenPoint5 and figured we would check it out. My hope was that such a extreme change in my workout routine by switching to barre/​pilates would seriously help my figure.
Did I pick the right place! There is a discount for students and teachers and the prices are honestly very reasonable compared to other barre studios in the Valley. In addition, this location is incredibly close to ASU which is a plus for me and classes are offered about 5 times a day (twice in the morning and 3 times in the evening).
SO, why TenPoint5…
because it is honestly worth every penny. The instructors will personally make sure you are doing every move in the right form. Still don’t get it, they will stay after class and make sure you do. Each class begins with the same warm-​up that uses weights and continues with a focus on thighs, butt, and abs. Also after every focus there is a stretch to make sure you are lengthening the body.
I can honestly say in the 2 months I am more flexible, my butt looks incredible in yoga pants, and am much stronger in my upper body.
Honestly I know I’m missing a lot but the point is it is a great workout that always leaves me sweating and my muscles shaking. The class is a mix of barre, pilates, and strength training. Music is AWESOME and class is never boring. Hope this gives some insight into a great local business.
SEE YOU IN CLASS!

Awesome class with new and unique positions! The atmosphere is chic and friendly!
