I went to barre.d last summer as a way to gain strength. I had a shoulder injury and my shoulder/neck muscles were deconditioned (so said my very tactful physical therapist) after years of back pain.After a strict aversion to group fitness classes, I needed something low-impact on my joints that would build muscle but allow for lots of modifications as I recovered from my injury. barre.d was perfect.I really appreciate the studios body neutrality. In their messaging, social media, and instructors language, I have never once heard someone focus on weight loss or cosmetic reasons for being there. Its always about strength and form. The instructors also have different approaches and personalities, which keeps things interesting and fun. Finally, there are so many morning classes, and I need to work out in the morning--so this has made consistency possible for me.I highly, highly recommend barre.d (even if you hate group fitness like me). Give it a week and see how your body feels--if you have the same experience I did, youll already have more strength and energy by the end of your trial run.

You know those ballet classes you remember as a girl where you may have gained confidence in your body and grown into your own? Or perhaps you were like me and forgot all the steps and moves come performance time and were always just the slightest bit off from the beat? Either way, barred studio is where I come to continue to grow into who I am as a woman. I feel supported through the laughter and the shakes. May you be fortunate enough to attend a class with Hannas mom as my face has never hurt so much from laughing in an exercise class. EVER. This is the best place to start your day or end your day or just go to break away. Love you ladies!

Barre.[d] is amazing. Each class is a total body workout with an instructor that is pushing you to constantly aim higher and try harder. The studio focuses on low impact, low weight, and high repetition movements to build toned, lean muscles. Highly recommend.

You will not regret starting barre at barre.[d]. By week three I was already seeing muscle tone in my arms and abs. I feel stronger and happier, having done barre 2-3 times a week for the past three months.

Ive had to most amazing workout ever. All the instructors are awesome. Theyre caring and easy to follow. I recommend anyone to please come and try it.

Barre[d] is my favorite workout ever! The studio is warm and welcoming! The instructors are the best! They work to push you to your best workout!
