From the reviews

If you're looking to improve your flexibility, strength, and posture, I highly recommend incorporating a ballet barre workout into your daily routine. Alexander walks around the class for 60 minutes and does hand on guidance to every student!

★★★★★ — Hilary, Mar 2026

I have worked with personal trainers for over two decades and this is by far the best workout experience I've had. Three key things set this apart: * Variety. While the basic elements in each class are the same, Alexander mixes them up for every class and introduces new routines.

★★★★★ — Lynn, May 2025

I started taking Alexander’s class a few weeks ago because I teach down the street and kept passing their sign! As an instructor myself, I have been craving this type of full body workout. It is one of the hardest barre classes I have ever taken, and truly targets every muscle fiber!

★★★★★ — Stephanie, May 2025

Alexander is the best barre/anything instructor working in NYC right now! I can say it because I've been doing barre classes for the last 20 years, and I've tried (and loved) them all, but Alexander is the best.

Your first barre class at Best Workout Barre None

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.
