Barre3

Every since I hosted a Unilocal event here back in early 2015, I’ve been dying to give it a try but I wanted to get back in shape after baby before I did. Not that it’s a requirement, but just for myself I did (I wish I had done Barre while pregnant!)
After attending my first class at the PV location, I gave my second class a try at this location. I loved it! Like the other location, I was able to bring my 9 month old and have her play in a cute little play area with sitters during my class. I enjoyed a butt kicking working from Jenn and felt like all my muscles got worked! I really love Barre and I especially love Barre3 because it feels very «Spa-​like» here. The instructors are super friendly and welcoming and the class allows you to go at your own pace. Weights, balls, robes and mats are provided and everything is incredibly clean. I can’t wait to return! PS — they have a Groupon right now, so snatch it up!

This is not just a workout, this is a community of positive thinkers and amazing attitudes. They give you hope and encouragement and it is truly incredible.
In my history, I have done yoga, pilates, spin, and kickboxing, so I was excited to finally try out barre when they moved in here. Barre3 gives a deep, lasting workout that I’m always excited to come back to. The beautiful instructors lead you in poses with minuscule movements to focus on the muscles that you never even knew you had. And as you hold that final pose for 8…7…6… your body might start what they call the «barre3 shakes and quakes», which they encourage and celebrate! It’s something I’d never been congratulated on and, frankly, I love it dearly.
The décor is beautiful, very modern minimalist, and makes me feel pretty chic walking in the door at 6 in the morning. They have adorable local jewelry and clothing available for purchase at the front desk. The constantly rotating styles of brightly patterned yoga pants are to die for. And be sure to watch their facebook for the occasional free class when they break in a new instructor.

Jess is the best! She has the best attitude and energy! Shes upbeat without being annoying! Definitely attend her classes! My butt hurt for days after hitting just one of her sessions.

There is so much to love about this place.
I’ve taken barre classes at this Barre3, Pure Barre, and the complimentary classes at my gym (the Village DC ranch)… and this Scottsdale Barre3 is hands — down — the — best. No contest.
Instructors, receptionists, owner and the people actually taking the classes the friendliest humans.
Also I’m a germaphobe and this place is squeaky clean. Heck, the exercise rooms actually smell better than my house. My daily gym could take some cleaning pointers from this Barre3.
Oh and they have a killer Instagram feed. Sold.

I’m not sure what else I can say about barre3 other than it is amazing! The moment you walk in the door you feel so welcome, whether it’s your first time or your 100^th. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The instructors are very knowledgeable and make sure the check in with you and how your body is feeling before every class. There is also a wonderful childcare area with so many fun things for kiddos! Everytime I’ve seen children in there they are happy and engaged, and it’s children of all ages too which is great. The whole staff is amazing, the instructors, front desk and childcare, you can tell they are all happy to be there and committed to being part of a healthy community.
The lobby is big and bright with a fabulous retail section featuring the latest and trendiest barre/​yoga apparel and accessories as well as items from local vendors. It’s hard to resist buying something every time I come in, especially because there’s always something new!
The other amazing thing about this workout is the fact that even though the classes are all one level you are offered different variations of the workout during class. The instructors always offer modifications which can help you either take it turbo or take it easy depending on you and your body. I love how I feel at the end of each class: balanced, centered, rejuvenated. I never regret coming to class, as hard as it can be to motivate after a long day at work sometimes, I know it is worth it to go. Every class is structured the same but always different. You can take class multiple days in a row and have a totally different workout each time. That’s what I love most about barre3, you get a full body workout in a 60 minute class and feel like you are doing something new each time. The more you come the more you are hooked.
The feeling of community at barre3 is something that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. The clients who come to barre3 are the nicest and friendliest, and so supportive of each other. During the 30 day summer challenge last month the community that came together to support and encourage and share healthy recipes was astounding. So many people completed the challenge and showed that the #barre3tribe is a force to be reckoned with!
I cannot recommend barre3 enough! Do yourself a favor and go take a class, you will not regret it.

This Barre3 location is spacious, clean and inviting. They offer daycare for anyone with kiddos and the instructors are super duper friendly. I was definitely not prepared for how difficult it actually would be.
Barre classes are described as a combination of ballet, pilates and yoga with your size choice of weights and a balance ball add-​in. I took some ballet when I was younger. This is not really like that. There is no speak of positions or turn out. I would say the class I experienced was way more focused shaping and molding a body through isometric exercises as opposed to dance movement.
It’s nice that they combine the workout with mediation-​like cool down at the end of the class to help you unwind from a long day. You can feel the your stress release throughout the class. After the class my body ached all over and it was pretty hard on my knees so not really my thing. Maybe some day I can aspire to it the greatness of flexible fit person but for now I’ll pass.

Took advantage of a complimentary community class while in town-​a good way to be introduced to the studio. I’ve been to other «bar» style classes; but not a Barre 3 so I was curious. The facility is very nice, spacious & well maintained. The young lady at reception very welcoming and quite pleasant. Kerri, the instructor, was high energy and encouraging. The workout itself did target some of the principal & core areas; but in my opinion moves were bigger than I’ve been used to and not sure there was enough control to do it right.
Then again, I may have been overthinking about the fact that the studio allows & encourages bare feet. I wore socks but I really tried not to think about where people’s feet had been or when was the floor, mat, sticky pad, or stretch band cleaned last? And the «towel» that is provided was a washcloth… maybe sweat is more petite here than other.
I’d try it again now that I know what it’s about; but I’m not sure it’s 100% my style.

Best full body workout that gets to the core of your muscles! Clean and well kept studio with wonderful staff and owner! Must try!!!

I truly have found a wonderful place!
This is my first time trying any Barr work out facility, I’ve gone about 6 times and I’m hooked!
The main thing that got my attraction is they provide child care, I am a very busy mommy that runs a business so I’m lucky if I get one day a week to work out. This place has the most wonderful atmosphere, the girls are all so welcoming to the lovely owner Karie too the few lovely instructors I’ve meet Elisa and Ashley. I go Monday mornings and take Ashley’s class. She is awesome and so helpful to assist. The class kicks my butt and I truly feel and see a difference. I hope to make more time for my self and try out other classes.
Love this place recommend to those who are looking for a good work out!
And like I said they offer child care!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this studio. The instructors are amazing. They really try hard to remember everyone’s name and as they instruct they walk around the room doing the exercises in between everyone as they go. It really helps keep me motivated when the instructor starts squatting next to me. They are all sooo nice, and all the people that go here are really nice. It is a little pricy but hey its north scottsdale and it’s a type of pilates and it’s Totally WORTH it! Love this place. Thank you Barre3 ladies!

I’ve never had a better studio or exercise experience. (seriously) The instructors know their stuff, the staff is so welcoming – the barre3 philosophy is refreshing and encorporates functional butt-​kicking movements for a total mind-​body connection. Plus – the emphasis is not simply about looking good, but actually training your body to support you in your everyday life. No matter what class you take you’ll leave feeling sweaty, refreshed, challenged, and maybe having gained a new friend or two. I can’t recommend it enough.

The first time I tried a barre class a few years ago, was at another company and it was not what I expected. When we had the opportunity to try Barre3, I was really excited, because this location is close to my home. I was not disappointed. I could feel my butt lifted after the end of the class. There is a lot of leg and butt work and I loved it. I was sore for 3 days, and I work out almost everyday. I loved, loved, loved it. I went this past Saturday for the 7:15 am class and I was impressed to see so many ladies at that time. I will make sure to book the class next time I want to come to this one, although it was no problem at all. Can’t wait to go back for some more.

This was a CMYE event organized by the ever amazing Lindsey. I’m always happy to go to any fitness related Unilocal events– plus, I was curious how barre can be incorporated with yoga and pilates.
First of, the studio itself is big, spacious and beautiful with high ceiling. Even at full capacity the night of the event, the room did not feel over crowded. They actually had two rooms– so I think the overflow went to the second room.
And without saying, the instructor Carrie was beautiful. I think you cannot teach a barre class without looking gorgeous with an uplifting personality and spirit. She had the amazing body and core strength of a dancer.
The class itself was challenging and flowed nicely. It was an all body workout from legs to core to upper body, working the minute muscles with high repetition. Many of us in the studio definitely were challenged. But before you think, oh this class is only for dancers or it’s too hard for me– let me write that you have to start somewhere and I think the class is appropriate for all levels. Plus, I think if you were a beginner, the enthusiasm of the instructors would put you right at ease.
Unlike some of the other barre classes I’ve attended where the focus is so much on ballet moves that I did not consider going back, the class I attended had enough mix of dance moves, yoga, and pilates to keep me engaged that I would
return.
Juby True was there to give out fresh pressed juice samples. I tried the Little Miss Sunshine (pineapple, pear, ginger, mint), Roots Radical (red beet, carrot, pear, giner, lemon, turmeric) and Sweet Greens (apple, parsley, spinach, kale, romaine, ginger) and I liked them all.
I really liked this place and would consider adding this to my workout routine. Hmmmm, wish there was guarantee that I would look as gorgeous as the instructors after I take the classes!!!

I have become addicted to Barre3 in the best way. I’ve been going to the studio since it opened in August and have seen more results than I did going to a personal trainer. Barre3 has been the key to providing the balance in my life that I’d been seeking for years. All of the instructors are amazing with high energy and on-​point cues that help you connect deeper with your body. I am stronger and more balanced after going for three months, but there are no plateaus in Barre3; you can always work deeper. In addition, the classes are constantly changing. I definitely have my favorite segments I can power through and those that nearly kill me. I love that it’s the combination of yoga, Pilates, and barre. This allows for your heart rate to spike, connect deep with your muscles, and then stretch and lengthen them out to create a beautiful dancer’s physique.

I should preface this review with the fact that I hate exercise. I only run when chased, or if there is chocolate nearby.
That being said, I truly love Barre3. What separates this workout from some of the others is that it is Pilates, Yoga, and Ballet Barre all in one. While that might sound like a lot of stretching and breathing — there is all of that, but be prepared to SWEAT. The workout has small modifications for people at all different levels and athletic capabilities, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it will be easy. After roughly 5 weeks of classes I can tell a difference in my overall strength and energy levels. I used to have lots of shoulder and upper back pain, and many of these movements and exercises have helped me to improve my posture and lessen that discomfort.
Karie and her team are doing this right. The studio is clean and welcoming. The instructors are ALL wonderful. No matter which class you take, you will get a great workout (and the workouts are not the same). They also have a retail area that contains super cute (and local) workout gear and jewelry. And for those in need of it, they do have childcare available for certain class times.
Such a fantastic team and space. If you are looking for a Barre Studio in the Scottsdale area, this is it.
