★★★★★ — Colatown, Jan 2025

I’ve been a BEATS member for over a year now, and I can honestly say it’s the best workout studio in Columbia! Meredith’s BEATS method is truly incredible! The classes at BEATS are always challenging yet fun. All of the instructors are fantastic, and have an energy that always keep you motivated.

★★★★★ — Mary, Jan 2025

From the minute you meet Meredith and her team, you feel like you belong- the community is so welcoming and genuine. The music is fun and upbeat. I especially like the mood lighting and ability to just focus individually on my work, while simultaneously enjoying the workout as a group.

★★★★★ — Julia, Jan 2025

I have been doing Beats for a year and love it! The workouts are effective, fun and make you want to come back for another. Meredith is also so welcoming, knowledgeable and upbeat. I highly recommend giving any of the classes a try! I started with a HITT class and then tried others from there.

Your first barre class at Beats Barre Studio

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.
