From the reviews

This the work out and community every woman needs. I joined Barre3 back in 2019 after I had my second baby. It’s hard to explain how much it has helped me through different and difficult phases of life. You gotta try to see it for yourself!

★★★★★ — Fiore, Oct 2025

I saw a review on here described the owner, Andrea, as a “bright light” and I can’t think of a better description. The studio she’s built has taken on that same vibe. Barre3 Bannockburn is the most welcoming atmosphere with incredible classes, instructors, and studio staff.

★★★★★ — Kim, Dec 2025

Barre3 has been nothing but amazing! Prior to this studio opening I had never taken a barre class. 100+ classes later and I’m truly loving it! It feels like my home away from home and my happy place. It’s very welcoming and the community is the best.

★★★★★ — Allison, Jun 2026

Started barre3 a couple weeks ago. First class kicked my ass. But I feel stronger every time I go. I especially love how the classes meet you where you're at. Lots of modification options with no judgement. No matter your level of fitness you can get an amazing workout.

Your first barre class at barre3

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. 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.
