barre3

This is a long overdue review for Barre3! I was a member in Portland at the SE location, and spent my first few months in Bend getting my workout on at this awesome studio.
Today I returned, and was reminded of a few things…
1. 2015 presented some challenges that caused me to get out of my normal workout-​aholic state — I am out of shape!
2. Everyone at Barre3 from the instructors to the participants are an awesome group of people.
3. Holy crap — it seems like an easy workout as your not doing large movements, but wow, those little contractions equal a whole lot of «shakes and quakes» and make significant changes in your body.
Classes are an hour, and start out with a warmup floor segment, then move on to a lower body segment at the barre, then back to the floor for more legwork incorporating upper body weight training, and finally, an ab and glute section on the mats.
The classes go by quickly, generate a ton of sweat and soreness, and the music keeps you going when you think you can’t do one more rep. I’m going to be one sore and happy gal tomorrow after this awesome workout.
Sidenote: They offer childcare during classes and have a small play area, and I’ve noticed over my time at the various studios that this is a workout that expectant mama’s love, as it’s easy to modify and still get results while creating a tiny beautiful human.

AMAZING!!! Blown away at how incredible of a workout and overall experience this was! I took Kate’s Wednesday evening class (who I heard was one of the best and was!) and felt like I had been going to Barre 3 Bend for years.
Kate was extremely welcoming and took the time and care to make my first barre class in years comfortable yet challenging enough to get the full Barre outwork and FEEL the BURN! As a busy mom, I was looking for a safe place to bring my kids if there are times I need to, and Kate discussed how safe, clean and well staffed their daycare area is.
I previously came from working out at a high end celebrity filled Equinox Gym in California and I have to say Barre 3 Bend blew them out of the water! Thank you for making me feel welcomed and refreshed — awesome job having Kate as an instructor too A+++++

Super easy to pay for and make class reservations online.
Very very nice and helpful staff.
Not intimidating to newcomers.
My favorite workout class!

I have always, ALWAYS been the chubby girl.
Unable to find a workout I could stick with long enough to see results, I was totally over working out. Then I found barre3. Gamechanger!
There are so many things I love about this place. The beautiful greeting I receive when I walk through the door. The calming, safe space available for the entire 60 minute workout. The hands on attention I get despite being in a room with 20 other barre3-​ers. The results! OH MY WORD. My bootie.
barre3 has encouraged me to live a lifestyle of total health. I feel stronger than ever. I cannot say enough amazing things about this place, I am forever grateful. This community has changed me. You MUST check this place out. And, yes, it’s super hard — stick with it, you won’t be sorry.

I have never been so satisfied with a workout facility. Everyone is so nice and welcoming here along with working with each client as an individual to help them get to their edge.

Good body-​shaping, painful but rhythmic. If you want to push yourself, go here! ALso, childcare is super convenient and sweet. Love it.

I’m so addictive to this barre classes so amazing people all the instructor rock friendly place. They care so much for every single lady.

I have never taken any sort of fitness class and was very skeptical and nervous when my sister in law talked me in to going. I was quite pleased she did though after my first class! This work out class is AMAZING! It’s always extreme and super fun! I recently got engaged and we are planning on having the wedding in Maui so I really needed to get in shape and this class is kicking my butt! I love all the instructors I’ve had thus far, but Maggie is my favorite! She is a super hands on instructor who will help you out if you’re in need of it, which I often am. Also the studio is very nice. Always clean and well stocked, they even have a daycare for those who need it! I love this place and will definitely keep coming back!

I am sooo not a traditional gym kinda girl. I have never been able to stick with a workout for more than 2 weeks until I was introduced to barre3…
The workout is fun and effective. The instructors are amazing. The studio is designed in the most fabulous kind of way– simple modern with a small childcare area at the front… a life saver for the working mom. I have no excuse not to make it in for an hour a day even with the kids in tow!
I have been going to barre3 for almost 2 years now and can’t imagine working out anywhere else. I am in the best shape of my life. Sounds cheesy, but yes, it’s true. The packages aren’t exactly cheap, but in all reality, you can’t really put a pricetag on your health. Especially if you find something that you enjoy and can actually stick with for more than a day. Highly recommended!

Fantastic workout! I was visiting Bend for a week and wanted to get my barre workout, so searched online and found barre3. Firstly, I own a different kind of barre studio in CA so my standards are pretty high. I took 3 classes during my week there and was so impressed with every instructor and class. Not only was the class instruction phenomenal but the customer service was top notch too. If you live nearby and haven’t tried this workout, you are missing out!

I’ve been dying to find a Barre studio and recently heard about Barre3 in Bend. I live in Eugene and was so excited to have an excuse to go to Bend this weekend so that I could get a class in while I was in town.
The studio is super clean and modern and the owner Darcy really takes the time to show you around and set you up for class (make sure you arrive early so she has time to show you around). I was able to purchase the 3 for $ 30 package as a new client.
The class was fabulous! I workout regularly and felt pushed but also saw that women of all levels felt comfortable. I would recommend this class to women who are looking for something new to break out of their regular exercise routine in a welcoming environment. Oh and not to mention if you are looking to tone, tighten, and look like a million bucks!

If you are looking for a workout class where you are truly cared about and not just another face, this is the place for you. The classes are amazing and I felt and saw results after one class. The studio itself is light and airy, clean and modern.
Owner Darcy and her staff are workout gurus who no matter how full a class may be always take time to give personal attention and help to newbies and veterans alike. They are super approachable, and they encourage working at your own pace, and remind you of that constantly, which is very welcome since there are others in the class that are more advanced and look like they work out daily, but don’t let that intimidate you.
Try the 3 for $ 30 classes to get started, you’ll soon be hooked on this amazing hybrid of ballet barre, yoga and pilates. They also offer day care at select classes.
