Cardio Barre – Beverly Hills

I’ve taken over 20 classes at this location and it’s fantastic. For 6:30 PM weeknight classes, meters are free! Metered parking ends at 6 PM. Parking is usually not hard on Robertson. However, when there are special events at the Kabbalah center across the street, you might as well not go if you have to drive there.
They have 2 restrooms and a changing room. A large towel is required as in all other Cardio Barre locations. They don’t have a water fountain but sell bottled water for $ 1.
Instructors are generally good here. If you have some dance background, you may really like Hannah Feldner-​Shaw and Richard Bradley. I really like their advanced classes. Sophia Hernandez is also great. Her beginner classes are just as fast paced as advanced classes and she does a lot of reps… a lot. I’m not a huge fan of Kamilah Barrett’s classes because I feel like she talks too much, but this is solely a personal preference and not a big deal. I still go to her classes.

I picked up another GroupOn 10 class pass here and it looks like they changed ownership from the last time I was here. And it’s for the better! I agree with the other Unilocalers that there is a family vibe here that I really love. The owner Richard is really nice and friendly — no Beverly Hills attitude here.
I noticed a couple cosmetic minor changes since the last time I visited the studio. It looks like they put in a new rug and touched up the paint in the interior of the studio. They also put in a cubbies to store personal belongings in the room. For mommies, they do offer free child care during the day which is nice.
The class structure is pretty much the same — an hour consisting of bar work, light weights and abs. It would be nice if they offered more variety of classes. The music selection has been updated. During my most recent visit, they were giving out FREE cold pressed watermelon juice!
I only wish that they provide filtered water and Sunday early evening classes.

Great place, great studio, great classes and awesome workout. One star off because it’s always crowded and the parking in front is 1 hour meters so you can’t arrive too early and get a good spot in the class unless you go on Sundays.

I was taking Cardio Barre classes in Hollywood and decided to try this location out since it was closer to my house. I was rather disappointed by my experience here compared to location in Hollywood. Parking at this location can be rather stressful. They have street parking outside, but sometime for late classes, I was not able to find parking in front of the studio. Luckily, I came late enough where there was parking on Wilshire. Another thing that I didn’t like was I came here for morning classes at 7 AM. Since, it is all street parking, the meters start at 8 AM, so I had to leave class early before I got all my stretching done. I wish they started the class maybe 10 minutes earlier so that I can enjoy the entire class without worrying about parking.
Another thing that I noticed was the weird smell from the room. I think that this studio is older than the Hollywood location. When I first came in here, I thought that the odor was really bad in the class. It got very bad when the did not have the fans on during class, so I noticed that some of the students will start turning on the fan during class.
However, I thought that the instructors were pretty nice and good. I was super excited to learn that my favorite instructor (Nicole) from the Hollywood location taught there also. However, she only teaches the morning class (which was interrupted by the parking situation above). I would definitely try to catch Nicole’s class if you can.
Overall, based upon the parking and studio, I think I might go back to the Hollywood location even though it is a little further away from my house.

I’ve been coming to CardioBarreBH for 2yrs and I cannot imagine working out anywhere else! I was faithful to the previous family who owned this location as they became part of my daily routine… and initially was reluctant to accept the new owners, Richard and Lucy… but when I met their amazing dog Luke it sealed the deal for me. I whole-​heartedly believe this is the best workout, something that never gets easy… but I can do everyday and still move the next morning. The instructors are all so amazing in their own unique way. You can go at your own pace or push it to the next level and they encourage you along the way. The Groupon deal is amazing and that’s how I got started, but I also am a fan of the unlimited deal for $ 169/​month. If you haven’t tried this workout, please take my word for it… you won’t be sorry!

I love Cardio Barre. I love the instructors, particularly Sophia and Aqua. They are so kind and will challenge you. The studio is super clean! I am very pleased with the introductory deals that they have as a first time guest, and I cannot wait to go back!

Unilocalers complaining about the smell– I found the culprit! Knock off your shoes and make way for… A Great Dane? That’s right, dog on the loose right where your bare feet are!
The instructor was enthusiastic and happy but frankly the guy at the front was unfitting for a barre studio, the students were unwelcoming, the class was too fast, the music was like a middle schooler is getting into dub step, and then, a loose dog???
Also, I have never seen such horrible posture in a barre class– girls swinging their arms, uncontrolled hips, floppy movements. I didn’t get much from this class besides rave practice and bad attitudes.

First things first I want to start off by saying I have an abnormal work schedule, if you are able to work out on a regular basis you will most likely love this place.
Ok now that is out of the way I’m super bummed about this place. I bought 10 classes and didn’t read the fine print about them expiring and so I lost 8 out of 10. Was it my fault? Most likely. Could they have been a little more lenient or given me a heads up? Yes and that is what separates good businesses from those that are subpar.

Feel the burn with cardio barre! This is great exercise in only one hour. My favorite teachers are Aqua and Stacey! The owners are really wonderful as well. You can get a great deal on your first 10 classes through groupon. However they also give you deals when you buy a package through them. The best part is that they have babysitting for the am classes for free!
Negatives:
Street parking only.
If there are a lot of people in class, the instructor won’t correct your form unless you ask

I think it’s more of a 3.5 for me. I DO like the classes. It’s a little challenging, but not as challenging as traditional barre class I think. IT IS cardio barre, that being said, you do get your heart rate up and pumping more than other barre classes. Both kind is good, it just depends on what you want. I do both cardio barre and bar method. I like this studio is because they have 8pm classes, which is perfect for me. But as much as I like it, it takes forever to find parking spot. I looked around for so long I was about to just skip my classes although I was already there. Theres a small public parking lot closer to Pico, but a lot of time it’s packed. I think I might change a studio just because I hate parking so much.

This is my second favorite Cardio Barre studio, first would be the original studio in studio city… But that’s saying a lot since I’ve been to many other different locations… This one is fab! Clean, staff is friendly… I really like it. My favorite teachers are Aqua and Sophia they are amazing… They are both hard, however you see changes in your body because of how they teach their class…
The other teachers are great too, however the one thing lacking is they don’t correct you if you do the exercise wrong, which is why it got 4 stars instead of 5. Go to this studio it’s great!

I purchased a Groupon for 10 classes at this location. First off, they have a small lot in the back with a parking but parking on Robertson is free after 6 (I believe).
The class is taken bare foot so I don’t understand why the shoe cubby hole is inside the carpeted classroom. It would be nice if people took their shoes off before coming. Also, the class I attended most recently, there was 1 girl doing the whole workout in her tennis shoes that she wore in. So God only knows how filthy the carpet is.
Also, when you first walk in, there is a weird smell… and it is not a pleasant smell. It adds to my concerns of the hygiene of the place.
I took a few classes at the Hollywood location and it is much better. No smell and the shoe cubby is outside so people take their shoes off before coming into the room.

When the man works desk the whole place smells like cigarette smoke.
The workout room smells pretty sweaty and musty.

I have been to this location 3 times now. I recently purchased a package for 10 classes and the last time my friend and I went we were told that we were not in the system but to go ahead and take the class and we would figure it out after. Then Vai who was working the front desk told us our classes had expired even tho the gentleman never mentioned there was a time limit. The worst part was that she charged us for the class we took and told us if we were really serious about our training we should purchase a package for $ 200 and that was the only way we would get our classes back. I don’t care about the fact that she charged us but it’s about the principle and her attitude towards us. I will tell all of my friends not to come here and personally never be back to this location.

The best workout for toning. 3 years ago i was going to Bev Hills location. Had great workout and great experience. I was going only weekends so i never had parking issues. Instructors are really nice and knowledgeable. U have been different locations Bev Hills my favorite one.

I used to go to CardioBarre in Valley Village (when I lived there) but now this is the closest studio to me.
Based on the reviews I read here, I was totally paranoid about going here. I found street parking, no problem (for a 6:30pm class). The man at the front desk who helped me sign-​up (using a Groupon) was really great. The studio is clean and there’s a very clean bathroom and changing room.
I was concerned about what people were saying about the dirty floors in the studio space so I wore white socks. Guess what, by the end of the class, my white socks were still white.
So, for the uncoordinated, your first class is hard. The teachers move through the poses quickly, but after a few classes, you’ll totally get it. Do not let the first class discourage you.
Sumner was a great teacher, she was attentive and gave me personal corrections as we went along. I look forward to attending her classes in the future.
I love this type of workout. Guided, great music, no boredom.

read through my reviews and two things are clear. I love cardio barre, and I hate rubbery chicken… with that said…
I first got hooked on Cardio Barre almost five years ago when I lived walking distance from the Studio City location. The very first class I was in awe, looking around I saw women from teens to over 60 gliding through the class, sweating without lots of jarring moments. In the coming months I was a regular in Dana’s M W F class, and my body showed the results. While Ive always been slim, I’d only dreamt of being leggy… not only did this 5’4 gal acquire the appearance of legs, strangers began to comment on my changing figure… and that sealed my loyalty…
Since then I’ve experienced Cardio Barre in Hollywood, Santa Monica and Redondo Beach. all EXCELLENT.and now Beverly Hills no different. the instructors here are some of the best I’ve had, and they offer free childcare which is a bonus perk for us moms… What makes this workout different you ask? EVERYTHING… the instructors must be trained dancers BEFORE even applying to be instructors and ALL are trained the same way in the Studio City location… while there are slight deviations in the classes, the basics will be the same no matter where you are.
I’ve done Billy Blanks Tae Bo, Pilates, Barry’s Bootcamp, Cross Fit, and have had a plethora of personal trainers… nothing and i repeat NOTHING gets my body in shape as quickly and as seamlessly as Cardio Barre… it’s more than a class, it’s about pushing yourself to be your best, and don’t let anyone tell you everyone is in shape or knows all the moves,.after all the years I’ve been going, I still struggle through parts of the workout and Im probably in the running for most uncoordinated woman of color ever…
it’s amazing, and you will see definition in places you didn’t know muscle lived…:) try it and thank me later:) new clients get $ 30 unlimited classes for a week or $ 89 unlimited for a month. with an offer like that.:)

Amazing results & fun workout that only takes an hour of your day!
I was super inspired by the 31-​day workout challenge for December. Gonna try to keep it rolling in the new year.
I feel great!!!

I really have enjoyed the classes I’ve taken at this studio. Granted at first I was on the fence about the cardio barre workout, now that I’ve gone a few times I really do have positive things to say about the workout.
The instructors and staff are incredibly friendly and encouraging. If I didn’t have dance background and I was afraid of being «that girl who doesn’t know how to do anything in class», I would still feel comfortable coming to this studio to work out. I find that some of my ballet technique has slightly improved since I started to come here which is a major plus. If you want a guaranteed, «I’m sweating my figurative b-​lls off» kind of workout, cardio barre is for you.

–Parking: They do have a lot, but it’s quite small. It’s either street parking, or taking the bus.

I’ve only been here at the 7am classes. Parking can be a pain if you come after that. Robertson can be quite busy and hard to find meter, and the side streets require permit.
I can see why some people think it’s dirty on the carpet, even though they vacuum it very often. Still I don’t like it, I’d rather have some wooden floor.
Class wise, Nicole is great! I love so much! she is always very friendly, very energetic, and very helpful! Highly recommend going to her class! Staff here are very friendly too, and I think they can take care of your baby while you are taking your cardio class. The advanced class can be hard since the songs are all very fast and your heart rate can really be elevated.
If you like dancing, you should try out this place. You don’t feel like workout, but really you are.
