Barre3 Tulsa

Barre3 Tulsa is a great way to begin your morning, jump start a fatigued afternoon, or wrap up your evening. Brenda and her team of incredible instructors will take you on an hour long body and mind challenging workout that will kick your tail right into gear. The workout is a combination of yoga, light weight, and stretching exercises, but don’t let that fool you. This routine will leave you energized and feeling great as it not only gives your body the workout it needs, itch alleges your thinking to push your body further when you don’t think you can, and that’s where the instructors’ encourage me really makes it worth coming here.
Classes are available at various times of the day with a truncated schedule on the weekends.

Let me start out by saying I did not know what I was getting myself into when I signed up for this, but it was an awesome workout, Brenda helped us all step it up to the next level in our exercise routine and it was awesome!
Barre3 Tulsa is nestled between many of the favorite locally owned businesses in the heart of Brookside. They opened up last July in this nice little clean space and have been helping people achieve their fitness goals ever since.
The workout starts with some simple stretching but quickly gets to a more intense level, implementing (optional) usage of light weights to increase resistance. The instructors work with people at the level they can attain and encourages them to push just a little more. Barre3 is a workout that nearly anyone at any level can participate in. But don’t just take my word for it, I recommend people of all ages, shapes and genders come in and see what it’s all about for themselves. So bring a friend and head on over to Barre3 on Brookside right next to R Bar and tell Brenda Josh sent you!

Barre3 is the best workout I’ve had in my life. But it’s not just a workout, it’s a lifestyle. It reminds me to move through my day with strength, elegance, and grace. Because of Barre3 I have the strength and tone like that of a ballet dancer that I’ve always wanted to achieve. The classes are high-​energy and push you to the limit while also being restful and relaxing, reminding you to breathe… sounds ironic, but you have to take a class to see what I mean! The instructors are also warm, encouraging and will help you get the postures and positioning right for your body’s individual needs by checking in with you throughout the class, and are additionally always available to answer questions you have after class, which has made a major difference in my results! And overall, the entire team and group of people are warm and inviting and always make a difference for the better in my day! Worth the time and investment for mind, body, and spirit!

I have a two month unlimited membership for barre3 and I am loving it! Barre is becoming very popular, and I can see why. It is a WAY harder and more effective workout than I was expecting. Through small movements and body weight training, barre3 is a great way to gain lean muscle. I have already noticed a difference in my body from my first month of barre3! They say it is a 60 minute core workout and that is totally true. My core feels stronger and stronger after each class.
If you are trying this for the first time, I would recommend going to a class with Brenda. She is the studio owner, and has been amazing at making sure that I have good form in class. It is crazy how just a slight adjustment in your body can work you so much harder.
I was worried that all classes were going to be full of super ripped and skinny ladies, and that I would be intimidated because I’m still working towards that. But there are people of all skill levels in each barre3 class. The instructors are all so encouraging and helpful. I leave each class feeling stronger and accomplished. This is an amazing studio!
Tip: Though it says one month of barre3 unlimited classes is $ 170 (which is way out of my price range) they have discounted specials for 3 and 6 month packages as low as $ 130 a month, or a flextime package with only certain class times available at $ 99 a month. Barre3 is totally worth it! Also they have childcare available. Which I don’t need, but many people utilize!

Barre3 = ballet bar + yoga + pilates. Such a cool/​fun concept. I always leave feeling decently worked out/​sweaty. Workout routines have always been different each time I come, which I really appreciate.
I love the cork floors. They aren’t as hard as other types of floor. You can really feel the difference. The last few times I’ve gone, I’ve noticed the ballet barre is starting to get sticky. Maybe the finish is coming off?
Friend Barre3 on Facebook — you can see when they have new instructors in training which means FREE Barre classes!!!

I recently had surgery on me olé colon and have been sidelined from my usual long distance running until fully healed. Being an exercise nut, I begged my surgeon for an alternative to laying around all day and got him to approve yoga and Pilates. Win! It just so happened that I went to a Unilocal event where Barre3 was a vendor, looked up their classes online, and found out there were free classes being offered that week! Win again!
I have to say, I was skeptical but after two free classes, I loved my experience at Barre3! The instructors, one of whom was brand new, did an excellent job. I never felt any pressure to over-​exert myself or try to keep up with others (unlike a certain yoga studio I ventured to last year). Each exercise could be modified for every level, much appreciated! My quads are still aching from the isometric holds!
If I could afford the high cost of a membership, I would sign up in a heart beat. However, my running club costs me a measly $ 25 every six months so I’ll stick with that. It’s just incredibly hard for me to justify a 6 month, $ 130/​month membership cost when I still have student loans that could be paid off instead. Sigh. Adulthood. Sigh. Responsibilities.

I have tried two free classes at Barre3 and LOVED both of them. The first was through a Unilocal event and the second was this morning for their one year birthday celebration. Every class includes cardio, legs, arms, abs, everything! The moves focus on your core and you really work to isolate muscles you didn’t even know you had. You do a lot of tiny movements and holds which might sound easy, but it is definitely challenging.
The studio is located on Brookside next to R Bar. The space is beautifully white, clean, and well lit. They even provide childcare for some of the classes!
You don’t bring any equipment — they provide the ball, mat, and weights (you can choose 1 – 5 lbs weights but be careful, even the lighter ones start to burn after a few moves.) The floor is cork and you don’t wear shoes or socks during the workout. The music is loud and upbeat which really adds to the energy of the class. The instructor uses a microphone which is nice so you are always able to hear her instructions. Our instructor this morning was Suzanne and she was so wonderful. We felt welcomed and encouraged the entire time.
The workout was challenging but still fun — a difficult balance to strike! I workout and do yoga 6 days a week and these classes still had so much to offer me. If you are looking for a strengthening workout that will help you gain lean muscle, this is a perfect class for you. The only reason Barre3 doesn’t get 5 stars is because of the price. They have a deal $ 99 for the first month deal, but after that an unlimited monthly membership costs $ 170. They offer other packages as well. The price is definitely the only thing keeping me from becoming a regular.

Everyone was really nice, the music in the class was fun, cool studio but just wasn’t the right work out for me, was more yoga, I was looking for something more challenging.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this studio and this workout has changed my life. The studio is beautiful and clean and in the most prime spot in Tulsa. The instructors are all warm and knowledgable, but also not afraid to kick your butt! They have CHILD CARE. It’s so rare that a studio of this caliber have child care. The staff members who work at the front desk and watch the kids are so great. They learn everyone’s names and make you feel so comfortable leaving your child or children for an hour. Also, the barre3 workout is killer. My body has never felt stronger. I love it.

The classes are really fun with multiple layers to each movement so that you can ensure you get the most out of the class. I like that there is so much emphasis on core strength. I’m going to be nice and sore!

Pros: my sister loves any type of barre workout. It’s great for lengthening and toning without getting bulky. I need this since my posture totally sucks and I have a tendency to build defined muscles. I’ve tried three other barre methods and the Barre3 style was the most intense I’ve ever experienced. However, it’s also the method that pays the most attention to back support while working on core strength. For the first time, I left a barre class without any neck or lower back strain. My friend and I came for a free workout, but we liked it so much we purchased additional classes.
Cons: parking. Not really close to home/​work, but worth the trip.

The entire team is so helpful and warm! The instructors are also very knowledgeable. This is a killer workout and studio in the best way possible!

I was a bit worried about exercising with a bunch of young people, but I thought I’d give it a shot and I’m glad I did.
I’ve never been to anything like this. It was yoga on steroids! The exercises were all low impact, which I appreciated, but they still got my heart rate up, BIG TIME! I wasn’t able to keep up with everything — not because it went fast — but because I am so out of shape. However, I did get plenty of exercise and I’m sure I am going to feel it tomorrow!
The way Barre3 works is that you pay a monthly fee. During the month, you can go as many classes as you want. There are plenty of choices of class times each week and each day. The classes last one hour.
I highly recommend Barre3 if you are looking for a low-​impact workout that will help you lose weight, shape up, and feel much better. And, I recommend it for all ages!

I’m a huge fitness nerd. I’ve done several Ironman Triathlons and other «extreme» sporting events. I love training and programs like P90X. I also love trying new things (as all Elite Unilocalers should), and that doesn’t stop with exotic food & drink.
Going into my first Barre3 class I had no idea what to expect. I hadn’t noticed it on brookside and when I googled it I kind of thought It was going to be like a yoga class or something and super girlie. WRONG! I assumed I would be the only guy there but I wasn’t and from what I could tell we all got our butts kicked — in a good way of course!
The class began quickly and got my heart pumping right away. I felt amazing through the entire class. Our instructor was fantastic. You can tell she really loves what she does. Brenda’s high energy and encouragement took me to the edge and really made me push myself. The ride was amazing and I enjoyed the endorphin rush from taking my muscles to failure over and over again. I was dripping wet by the end of class and am already looking forward to doing it again.
If you’re on the fence about this you can put that hesitation away right now. Just do it! You won’t regret it. To all the fellas out there, if you’re feeling weird about taking this class — I promise you will have your fitness not your manliness tested during this workout. If you’re not so fit don’t worry — this is a great place to start too. The class offers modifications for all kinds of physical needs and ability. There are different levels to each workout so you can push yourself as far or as little as your body allows. It really is great and I’m only saying that because it’s true.
My first class was eye opening and truly showcased what Barre3 is and how amazing it is for fitness (mind, body, spirit). Thanks again to Brenda for showing me what B3 all about!

Barre3 is the best workout I have ever done. The staff and instructors are so warm and welcoming. Every time I leave barre3 I feel refreshed and ready to take on my day.

Last week I had one of the best lunch breaks ever here at Barre3!
I love working out and since becoming pregnant it’s been hard to feel well enough to want to workout nonetheless still find something challenging while being safe. I had gone from working out almost daily to zilch for seven weeks… until I heard about the miracle of Barre!
I got to go to Brenda’s class. I felt so welcomed and instantly part of the community there. The space is beautiful and located on Brookside right next to R Bar (which was a perfect place to grab a salad after the workout.)
There is no need to bring any gear — they provide it all! The floors are antimicrobial and full of grip so you do the workout without shoes (it feels awesome!) They also clean down everything after ever class.
The workout is a full hour of complete body toning! Cardio is even incorporated at the beginning to get heart rates moving in the smartest way. I told Brenda I was expecting before the class began and she made sure to help me modify moves for my belly :)
I can’t wait to do barre3 classes the rest of my life! AND! There’s even childcare available for small ones while you workout.
Such. A. Happy. Place.

Barre 3 is an amazing workout and a great atmosphere! After only doing barre 3 for a short time I have noticed serious results. I’m hooked and won’t go anywhere else!

I’ve been doing Barre3 for some time now and am so happy it’s finally come to Tulsa! These workouts have given me a stronger core, toned muscles, and a better body shape than I’ve ever had with any other type of exercise. Every instructor at Tulsa Barre3 takes interest in us getting the best workout for our personal goals – I truly feel I have a personal trainer working with me at every class! One of the greatest rewards is being able to live my everyday life now without back and knee pain due to a 1-​hour core workout and knowledgeable instructors who encourage and motivate me. I love the atmosphere and feel like I’m connecting with a community of friends every time I go. Thank you Tulsa Barre3!

I had the pleasure of taking a couple of Brenda Oakes’ classes while I was visiting family in Tulsa, Ok. At first I was a little intimated, as I am a «more mature» woman and didn’t know if I could keep up. Brenda and staff were so motivating and encouraging, and showed me modifications to the routine we were doing. By the end of the class, I felt so accomplished! It was the best work out I have ever had. What really got me though, was how warm, inviting, and just genuinely nice the whole staff is. I will definitely visit Barre 3 Tulsa every time I come to Tulsa!
