From the reviews
I’ve never liked working out, especially going to group classes, before Body. I started going weekly in 2021, and now that I’m able to attend more classes, take up to 8 classes a week. I look forward to going yo the studio. I love the instructors, the atmosphere, the other people in the classes.
Amazing! Just had my first experience at Body of Bloomington. Took an intro to pole class, and it was awesome. I had so much fun and already feel like my confidence is boosted. The instructor was great and super friendly.
Body of Bloomington is the best studio I have found in the area! Tara and all of the other instructors are fantastic and somehow always hit the best blend of exercises for each class. It's never exactly the same class and is never boring.
I've been working out at Body since 2013, and it is my favorite studio! The owner and instructors are kind and professional, and the workouts are effective. I didn't think barre would be that hard, but squatting while on your toes is tough! Ky always keeps the workouts interesting and fun! Highly recommend this place.
Your first barre class at Body of Bloomington
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.
