B Fit

I absolutely love this studio. Adorable space that is bright and energizing. Terrific instructors. Lots of great deals on classes. Super convenient location. Well done!

I’ve tried many different barre studios throughout DC and this one is by far my favorite. First of all, I really like the studio itself. It makes me feel very posh. Also, the instructors have all been very attentive and modify based on what the class participants want.
I literally have zero complaints. I wish they had showers so I could go before work, but that’s just a frill.

I love this place because it is so close to my house! The studio is in a quaint location — kind of hard to find if you don’t know the area. Buzz up the call box next to the liquor store (I know sounds weird, but someone will answer).
Cute waiting room when you walk in. Actually super homey, makes me want to hangout here with a warm cup of tea after class in the snow. There is a little bathroom and kitchen too.
Other side of the studio is where the barre classes are. There are plenty of cubbies for your stuff.
The class is challenging, but pretty mediocre compared to larger barre corporates, as I would expect. Surprisingly they can get pretty full, but I never feel as challenged here as I do at some other places, by no ways a bad way.
Super cute and convenient to all of us that live in and around Logan circle. Love that they are on classpass.

B. fit is a barre and Pilates studio. You need to ring a buzzer to gain entry to the building. The studio is at the top of a few flights of steps. Lobby and check in are in the door to the right, the studio space is to the left.
The lobby has a check in desk staffed by friendly staff members. Water is available in the kitchen.
The studio space is well laid out. All items needed for the workout (weights, balls, etc are provided). The instructors are skilled and motivating. They can be a bit hard to hear int he absence of a microphone. Other clients are also very friendly.
The workout is a full body workout including arm and shoulder workouts, push ups, planks, leg work, seat work, and core. Both classes I took her left me nicely sore throughout my body.
I would recommend bringing water; the studio runs a bit hot and you will likely sweat.

Chrissi’s class is amazing. Absolutely the best barre class in DC. She is an expert instructor.

Love this barre studio!!! First of all, the studio itself is absolutely adorable. Second of all, the instructors are absolutely awesome. The classes are crazy hard… I always leave in massive amounts of pain (in the best way ever).
Only complaint — their mats are really really squishy. If you have wrist problems, be forewarned.

Great Barre studio! The studio, lounge and bathrooms are clean. The instructors, «Barre-​tenders» are really nice and are well trained. I usually go to the 10:30 class on Saturday which is either Gina or Jena’s class. The classes are a really intense workout, which I enjoy. The studio often has class packages, which makes it easy to afford the classes. I love this studio!

I’m giving it 3 stars as my first experience was ok, not great. I was in NYC for a month and was taking Exhale Core Fusion Barre classes. Each one I took regardless of the instructor was extremely challenging and I left with a great sweat — they even have Core Cardio classes that were amazing. Now that I’m back in DC I decided to look for a studio. Pure Barre has carpeting so I won’t go there as it’s difficult to get a solid grip on carpeting. B. Fit is literally minutes from my home so I decided to give it a try.
My recommendation is that while I only had one instructor (she was subbing for the regular instructor who was on her honeymoon), I found the class to be well below a beginner’s class and it wasn’t supposed to be a beginners class. We didn’t use the ball or resistant bands and we certainly did not spend enough time on the barre. The weight section was also very basic. I have a free pass as I’ve paid a 2 for one for new clients. I’m going to give it another shot with another instructor. I think the space could use serious renovation by making it much bigger –there is a lot of wasted space in the entrance area that is not necessary. There should also be a climbing rack to hang down from after the class.
Also, the instructors should be fitted with microphones as the instructor’s voice often gets lost when she’s doing the instruction or trying to advise by what the instructor sees us doing. The studio is small so some may not see it as necessary but as the class is organized vertically, the instructor is at the front where the stereo is so her voice is lost at times (let alone it is hard to see — this is another reason why the studio needs to be larger). The space should also be outfitted with a speaker system as the music is blasted from a small set of ipod-​speakers placed at the front.
My recommendation is that the studio would benefit from going to a place like Exhale and check out the Gansevoort studio, Flatiron or Central Park South (that location has carpeting which wasn’t good but the instruction was great). Diversifying the types of classes available and improving the quality of instruction would make this a stellar place.
Like I said, I’ve only been once, but after visiting Exhale for the first time (they had a all you can visit for $ 40 for a week), I couldn’t get enough and went every day. I really want to feel that way about B.Fit.
I’m giving this another try — but there are other structural issues which could greatly improve the experience.

I’ve been coming to B. Fit for nearly three years and it has become an important part of my DC community. The instructors are great, Linda, the owner, is warm and wonderful and the space is bright and airy. Your fellow classmates make for a positive and upbeat experience. I appreciate that the work-​out is always challenging — but you can also work at your own pace. I have attended barre classes at all the area studios and I love the feeling and work-​out I get from this independent studio. They frequently offer special packages which consistently make it the most competitively priced barre studio in the district. I have introduced many friends to B. Fit over the years and am very grateful it’s part of the local fitness scene!

I love B Fit! Everyone who works there is so warm and welcoming, and it’s just a positive environment overall. Not to mention, it’s a great workout with fantastic instructors.

I’ve been coming to B. Fit off-​and-​on for 2 years now, and this studio has remained both amazing and consistent! The owner is wonderful, and the instructors are so talented.
The atmosphere is positive and refreshing, and I always get a great workout at B. Fit! Highly recommend to all!

B. Fit, while very expensive, is a great workout in a fun and small atmosphere.
I came here on a whim wanting to try barre classes, and I was not disappointed. They had a deal at the time that was around $ 20 for two classes for your initial sessions. The workout was so tough, but I loved every minute! Instructors were great, the place was very clean, I really have no gripes about it other than the cost. Two classes here is the cost of my monthly gym membership! But then again they don’t offer these types of classes at the gym with such high quality instructors. If you have the money to spend, this place is worth it.
Once I get my next raise maybe I’ll committ to a specific schedule here.

After I initially lowered my review to three stars, the owner, Linda, personally contacted me via e-​mail rather than Unilocal (still not sure how she knew it was me!) to genuinely apologize. She offered me to try another class for free, so I gladly accepted. I thought that was definitely great customer service and showed that she really cares.
I took a regular (as in, not beginner) class with Gina and it was great. Definitely challenging but it didn’t leave me never wanting to come back because it was too hard. She made us feel comfortable and offered an appropriate ratio of praise and corrections. The studio is beautiful – the hardwood floors are much easier on the feet, rather than what I’ve been used to (carpet at Pure Barre). Wish I could afford to come back on a regular basis.

I wasn’t sure if writing is a review for this studio is the right thing to do! I don’t want yuppies from the neighborhood filling up the classes. I have been going here for the past 3 months and absolutely LOVE this place.
Linda, the owner of the studio who also sits at the front desk, is just the sweetest. She always wants to make sure that the teachers and students are doing well and are happy. All the teachers give you a killer work out. They provide modifications in case of injuries and focus on form.
Try it once… I promise, you won’t regret it :)

If I’m going to do a barre work out in DC, I’m coming to B Fit. The owner and staff are always very warm — not something typically found in barre studios. They do a great job of cultivating the community without it being cultish.
All of the instructors are supportive and put together very challenging routines. They encourage you to push past your limit but are also great at offering modifications if they recognize that you truly need it. I also enjoy that every class is different — the routines aren’t designed by corporate so every work out is enjoyable but doesn’t become too mechanical.
They also play great music (so key to a good work out).

I’ve been looking for a new workout to get into and I’ve noticed that barre workouts seem to be the craze these days. Lucky for me, there’s B Fit just right around the corner from my apartment so I decided to see what all the rage is.
After your first class, the second one is free, but the deal ends there. After that, it’s $ 22 per class or $ 18 – 20 per class depending on which class pass you buy. That means if I want to keep this up as a steady workout routine, attending 3 classes per week, that would add up to $ 54 – 66 per week. That’s about the same price as a monthly gym membership! I don’t think the price is justified since I can just join a gym for about the same amount but get access to more amenities and classes.
The studio is small and feels crowded very easily. There’s only a small section of barre for short/​petite ladies like myself, and that gets uncomfortable even if there is just four people on it.
The instructors all have very different personalities, teaching styles, and routines. My advice would be to try out as many of them as you can so you can pick the instructors who work best for you.

B Fit is the absolute best Barre studio there ever was! I found B Fit through my now sister in law, who brought me to a friend sand family class. One class and I was hooked. I was getting married in 4 months and needed a little extra help getting into the best shape I could for the wedding. Rachel is the absolute best teacher ever! She will help push you to your limit and still have you laughing and happy when it is all over.
Linda is the best, she is so nice! She does her best to remember everyone’s names even if it takes a few times she’ll get it. She is like family. If you’re looking to get everything tightened up and have an amazing time while doing so, you have to go to B Fit. The prices are the best in the city and its centrally located and easy to get to

Oof, super disappointing experience. The studio was cramped and waaay too crowded. You can’t fit 18 people into the studio they use, you just can’t. Honestly, I also found it dirty: I had gobs of dusty hair on my feet from time to time. The hardwood floors HURT on knees and tailbones through the thin, squishy (and wet from the previous class, eww) mats. I don’t really get why the class was so crowded, since you have to sign up and reserve a spot in the class online in advance. If I am paying $ 22, I want to worry about the moves and exercises, and not whether I’m about to get kicked in the head. There wasn’t enough room at the barre.
Out of the 18 barre students, 9 were beginners/​new to the workout and the studio, but our instructor didn’t offer modifications, nor did she provide effective verbal descriptions of the moves. I felt like I was doing moves wrong because they were painful.
Overcrowded, under-​air-​conditioned room aside, it was… still just OK. The «arm toning» section was ineffective: there weren’t enough mid-​weight free-​weights to go around, so I was stuck with 2-​pounders, and I might as well have simply dragged my own arms through the air. The class felt disorganized; we would go from the barre to the floor back to the barre, and then it would seem like she forgot something and we’d return to standing or kneeling. There was a lot of sweaty shuffling going on, and for $ 22, it was not even remotely worth my money. They should advertise better that you should bring tons of water and your own towel if you tend to sweat (who doesn’t?) since they don’t have towels.
I was overall very disappointed, and even though my next class is free, I don’t think I’ll return to this studio.

B Fit is the s***! After catching the barre bug, I found B Fit on Unilocal,while searching for barre classes relatively close to my office. I took advantage of their 2 for $ 22 new client special. This is a darling studio in Logan Circle really close to the Lululemon/​Whole Foods/​Sweet Green for a point of reference. I thought I would be annoyed that you have to be let up from the call box, but it was an absolute breeze. The first time I had to walk up those 2 or 3 flights of stairs to get to the studio, I swore I was never coming back. Now, after 8 barre classes, walking up those stairs this past Saturday wasn’t nothing but a thang.
The owner is a true delight. She genuinely cares about each and every person that comes to her studio, and it shows. Her sweet personality is nice after a stressful day at work/​home/​fill in the blank. I also like that she went the extra mile to put my sister-​in-​law and myself into a Saturday morning class with Rachel on short notice. All I had to do was tell her our names, and she put us on the list. Easy peasy.
Let’s get to the actual classes shall we? You will grimace. You will want to cry. Hell, you may even shed a slight tear when you think no one is looking. You will curse yourself for willingly forking over pedicure money to feel a burn deep in your a**. But then Rachel will smile at you, and tell you you’re doing a great job. So, you lift those heels just a little bit higher, tuck those hips a little harder, and sink down a little bit lower. All the while you’re probably breaking a sweat, yet will never quite figure out how a ballet barre can bring out the beast from within. My sister-​in-​law is a straight zumba girl, and absolutely loved it as well. Rachel is an amazing teacher. She switches things up, which is great to make sure you get a different burn (and I mean burn in the good way. Not the icky or send you to the ER kind of burn). And if a little bit of encouragement/​desire to please doesn’t do it for you– just take a sneak peak at Rachel’s arms. Girl is toned! Isn’t that why we’re here in the first place!?! Each of the instructors I took had great music. I love when they play tunes I’ve never heard before. I think there is truly an instructor for everyone here. Rachel is energetic, challenging, yet still encouraging. Stephanie is more low key, and Charmaine is SO FREAKING TOUGH. I love this place. If they had more lunch hour and/​or 6am classes I’d be all over this place like white on rice!

Rachel is so far my fave — great instructor w a great attitude, and if you need inspiration to tuck & shake it out… you need only look at her arms! The woman gives Michelle O a run for her money!
Great workout — a little crowded though but worth it!
