From the reviews
I highly recommend this barre studio! I have become hooked and staff are so encouraging and friendly. The clientele are all ages and its an incredibly welcoming environment no matter what your fitness level.
I found NB Barre Durham a little less than a year ago, and I am so glad that I did! As the other reviews mention, Savannah (the owner) and the instructors are phenomenal, offering modifications, amplifications, and adjustments to meet you where you are and to support and encourage you to get where you want to be.
Joining Neighborhood Barre Durham has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, and the classes are always fun. All of the instructors are awesome, knowledgeable, inspiring, and full of great energy. I also really appreciate how much they genuinely care.
NB Durham is hands down THE BEST barre studio and group fitness place I’ve ever been to! The owner and instructors are all amazing (as people and instructors), the community is so fun and kind, there are multiple class formats that provide a wide range of movements to meet you where you’re at as well as challenge you,…
Teacher training at Neighborhood Barre Durham
Neighborhood Barre Durham comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at Neighborhood Barre Durham
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: required here, and sold on-site if you don’t have a pair; 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.
