★★★★★ — My, May 2023

I was visiting Grand Rapids from Chicago and needed a place to work out—so glad I found Barre3! I joined the waitlist for a strength-focused barre class and called the studio to ask how it worked. To my surprise, one of the staff members gave up their own spot so I could attend.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Mar 2025

I did my first ever barre class at barre3 and loved it- I appreciated the careful orientation I got to the space and the class. The environment is lovely with nice touches- the vibe is friendly and not at all intimidating for a beginner.

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.
