barre3 Newtown

I love barre3! I live only about 6 minutes from the studio so I decided to try a barre class, never having done one before. I’d been driving 25 minutes each way to a Bikram studio, and that was getting tough to regularly keep up with. I now realize how LUCKY I am to live so close to barre3 Newtown! The barre3 workout itself is great — I like structure in my class (hence Bikram, where you do the same 26 poses twice each time) — but I like that this is a bit different. There is always the same «flow» to class, in that you target certain areas in a certain order for a set amount of time, but they mix up the actual exercises that you do each time. I thought I was in shape before I started here but I am really noticing a difference in my muscles from barre3! I will say that while a lot of women have found it helps them lose weight I’ve actually noticed the opposite, but I think it’s due to added muscle growth and the fact that I didn’t really have much «weight» in terms of fat to lose. So just don’t be discouraged if you are in shape and notice a weight increase despite the barre3 weight loss marketing! Remember: fit is the new skinny :)
As far as this studio goes specifically, I love that both rooms have a light and airy feel to them and the women’s locker room is always clean and has just the right amenities! I’ve had classes with probably half a dozen or so different instructors at this point, and I find that they are very consistent in their approaches, so I don’t have to worry about making it to class on a specific day at a specific time because I know my workout will be great no matter who is teaching!

Barre 3 is amazing! I have done yoga for years and am considering getting certified, so at first I was a bit skeptical about barre. However my mom loves the Newtown location and it’s so close to my house, so I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked and it kicked my butt the first days! I wasn’t expecting this considering I run and lift five days a week, however the instructors are awesome (Crystal is my favorite) and concentrate on small mini movements to build your quads and core. I am not exaggerating when I say I couldn’t walk after my first class.
I have come every other day since my first time, and would absolutely recommend barre if anyone is looking to build strong, lean muscles. Barre has helped me most when I run now, and I feel so great in class.

Love this studio! Extremely nice and fun instructors. Beautiful space. I always leave feeling relaxed. A wonderful experience

Loved this workout and saw results quickly. Lauren, the owner, and all of her instructors are fabulous.

Absolutely love barre3 Newtown. The workout is amazing and the facility is beautiful. I actually look forward to working out which I have never said in my life! Great job Lauren and the great instructors at barre3 Newtown!

The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The owner and staff are extremely professional and make the classes fun. I have never found an exercise routine that I enjoyed until I found Barre 3. The results come depending on how much you put into the routine. It’s my therapy and highly addictive when you start seeing the results.
