From the reviews

For a girl who never liked to work out. Never liked the gym and always felt awkward. Open Barre is the best! I love the variety of classes offered from classic to hiit to hot barre. Open Barre offers a welcoming, friendly environment.

★★★★★ — Diana, Nov 2025

Amazing space for a great workout! I started taking Ashley’s class when I was 3 months postpartum with my youngest and her class has helped improve my overall wellbeing, mental health and has given my children a great example of prioritizing taking care of our bodies.

Your first barre class at Open Barre

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.
