From the reviews

How have I not reviewed Barre Groove yet, it's one of my favorite places in the city and the most fun/supportive/amazing community around! I've been going to barre groove since 2019 and STILL love the workouts, the instructors, and the energy brought to each class.

★★★★★ — Laura, Mar 2025

Barre Groove has been the only type of exercise that has helped me become more consistent. It is the perfect balance of fun while also feeling challenging. I always feel refreshed after a class, and the Newbury Street location is my favorite because of how much there is to do in the area plus they have lovely showers…

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Jun 2025

Such a fun way to get some cardio in! I'm really not a cardio person at all but all of the instructors here are great and it feels more like dancing than a workout.

★★★★★ — Allison, May 2025

Barre Groove’s classes are a highlight of my week! They’re always so much fun and a great workout. I love that each instructor is different, the classes always change things up and I always come out feeling strong (and that I’m getting stronger!). I love barre workouts but the trampoline addition is really awesome.

Your first barre class at Barre Groove

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel — there are showers on site if you need one after. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
