Local Barre

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Local Barre classes and staff! I’ve been a long time athlete and runner and these classes really get the job done (and you actually look forward to them)! They are a mix of ballet, yoga, strength training and some cardio. You build so much muscle during the class that you literally feel your metabolism burning for the entire rest of the day — it’s amazing. After attending classes at both uptown and downtown, I just visited this new location and it is GORGEOUS! Oh and all the instructors are wonderful, especially Amber and Amanda. They really encourage you to customize each move, time in between reps, and stretch to your ability which I just love. It reminds you to push yourself when you can but not to overextend yourself if it will result in injury. Thanks Local Barre!

Went here (to the Wheelhaus!) for a couple of good cycling classes. Amazingly beautiful facility and studios, nice instructors and staff.
Unfortunately I won’t be back since they removed their limited ClassPass offerings. When I last looked, monthly membership was $ 200 for one activity (either cycling or barre) and $ 300 for both. That is just not in the cards for me and even if it was in my budget, I still find it hard to justify. But that’s just me.
I totally get that when you offer a premium product at premium prices, it’s hard to offer ClassPass access and provide the same product at such drastically different price points. But I thought the approach of very limited offerings (off-​peak times) was a nice compromise. I mean, I went to one Fri AM class and one Sat AM class recently, and neither had more than 10 people. In a cycling studio with a capacity of probably 30? Maybe eventually they will fill the studio for the less desirable times but at this point they’re just refusing business for otherwise empty bikes. As well as losing potential revenue from the really cute little workout «boutique»…last time I bought a sweatshirt just because I was there for class and saw it. And apparently have no self control?
So anyways, can’t help but think that pulling from ClassPass is silly at this point in the game, but maybe I’m being greedy :) Still must say I had a great experience the times I went. Just wish it was more accessible, at least some of the time! But oh well, at the end of the day I still like FlyWheel classes better.

I’ve been a gym head for a while and was reluctant about group classes. Boy was I wrong about them! They kicked my butt and I’ve been able to get all I need from both Local Barre and Wheelhaus. The best part is the accountability. I can procrastinate like crazy when I’m left to my own devices. The fact there are set times really pushes me to go.
The instructors are the best in town.
