barre3

This place is my zen. The owner, Andrea Mason, is amazing. She also teaches classes and when she is there always makes a point of talking to everyone that comes in. The other instructors are wonderful too. Olya will kick your butt! Every instructor stops to help people in class, helping with postures and positiions, making sure we all get the most out of class. I love this because it not only helps keep me strong outside but inside too. Ive been going for over a year now and cant imagine not going. Currently we are doing a 7 day challenge. Im on day three and I sure can feel it!
What makes Barre3 especially great is this is exercise for people of any age, weight and for pregnant women as well. It’s low impact with many modifications for people who have joint pain or other issues. Ive seen girls bring their moms, I have classes with women in their 60s and girls in their early twenties and we all can keep pace with the instructor while maintaing our own pace as well. This has improved my posture, my muscle structure and my daily habits.
The pricing is expensive but they have recently begun to offer student memberships in addition the varying options available for people who want to participate. I recommend everyone try it once bc it will have you coming back. They also have locations in Edmond and Midtown to make it accessible for everyone with classes starting as early as 6AM and as late as 7PM. They offer childcare in the front and the kids always seem so happy and having a good time.

I should’ve started going to Barre3 sooner but like a lot of women I was intimidated by the class setting. Especially since I’d never taken a barre class before and didn’t know what to expect. I suffered from a running injury years ago and had a somewhat unsuccessful surgery that left me unable to run still. Fast forward a few years and a 9 month old baby in 2014 + a mom needing some meditative time away from home aside from
Target. Enter Barre3.
I dove in and went by myself to a foundations class. The instructor at the Edmond location (Kelly) was so incredibly nice and down to earth with me that I felt comfortable there right away. I walked away (barely walked away) still shaking and quaking and in disbelief that these tiny movements and holds could make me more sore than running 5 miles. I was hooked before I even got home that day.
The workouts are dynamic and focus on the entire body. The instructors offer modifications throughout the workout for injuries, soreness, preference. And there are always ways to make it more difficult too which is nice when you feel like challenging yourself even more.
The instructors are awesome. Sometimes I can’t believe how genuine these girls are. Like, are they for real? But they are. Andrea, the owner, is the sweetest. They really encapsulate the differences in women’s bodies’ and I love that. Every workout is different and every instructor has they’re own kind of style or flavor. They’re all helpful and sincere.
The studios are clean and spa like. The child care area is fun and fully equipped.
I could go on and on. If you’re thinking about trying it — just do it. Prepare yourself for girl crushes.

I could probably write a novel about how much I love Barre3, but to save you all from my obsessive gushing I’ll just gush a little.
I’ve been taking barre3 since May of 2012. I’ve taken at the Edmond, Midtown and Classen Curve location. The teachers often rotate between all studios so they are equally wonderful, CC is my spot though. You can find me here 4 – 5 times a week. It’s unlike any workout I’ve ever tried. It strengthens, lengthens and tones your entire body. My tummy has never been so tight and my arms have never been stronger!
Barre3 is a 60-​min workout inspired by ballet, yoga and pilates. Growing up a dancer, barre3 has placed a little bit of «dance» back in my life. That being said, by NO means do you have to be graceful or athletic to do barre3, anyone can do it! The instructors are all so encourage and do a great job at explaining each move. They always offer modifications and encourage you to «listen to your body.» This is really important for my shotty knees and bad lower back. Even by modify you are still getting an extremely good workout.
The 3 in Barre3 comes from the 3 pillars it is built on – exercise, nourishment and connection. They community and connections at Barre3 are one of my favorite parts about it. Everyone is so welcoming and wonderful. I LOVE them all but a few favorite instructors include Holly, Johnna, Olya, Christen and Kathleen.

Took my first official class yesterday and loved it! I’ve been to different barre3 locations, meet the owner (she’s wonderful), and haven’t been disappointed. The facility is clean, the childcare area ($ 5 to watch your kid is a steal!) is adorable, and the classes are challenging. I’ve been looking for a workout to do between my cardio and MMA adventures and I think this is it!
These classes are beyond challenging, will tighten your booty and core, and make you look as graceful as possible doing so. I love how sore you feel after an awesome barre3 session.
I also love how easy the online scheduling is. Definitely makes things easier for a mom on the go!

When you think about improving your fitness & WELLbeing, avoid this place. There are a few girls at the Midtown location that are anything BUT cool, calm, & collected. That’s especially goes for Owner Andrea. I’ve witnessed numerous «meltdowns» or «freak outs» by her in front of clients & children. She is CRAZY. I’ve heard of her stalking people. Showing up at their houses because she’s so delusional she thinks her husband is sleeping with everyone.
The instructors also don’t get paid much at all no matter how many people they can get signed up or in their class. I’ve got friends & know plenty of great human beings in the city that instruct at other places. Do yourself a favor, find a better deal!

Love love love me some barre3!
Where do I begin? The workouts are great — set to up beat music, a positive and knowledgeable instructor, and a hard combination of yoga, Pilates, ballet barre, and cardio. Every workout is different, but still incredibly challenging and rewarding. Need a modification? Just ask. The instructors are awesome at pushing you to find your «edge» but also knowing that everyone is at a different place in their workout, so do what feels right for you. The studios are clean, modern, and bright. They also have showers and changing areas if you want to get ready and go straight to work afterwards. Have kiddos? They also have childcare! What more do you need to have a great workout? For me, nothing.

Something needed to be done. I moved to Oklahoma after living in Paris for a year and I gained about 10 lbs. I was now fluffy. I used to do Dailey method and the Bar Method but they don’t have them in OKC. My cousin started to do Barre3 in PA. She said it’s great. I’m game. I looked for a Groupon but didn’t see anything. (I hate paying retail.) I went on the website and they had a $ 100 unlimited special. Now we’re taking! So I signed up! Dramatic results! I’m signing up for the $ 140 (I think) unlimited per month. The instructors are very knowledgable and get you to the «shakes and wakes» which is when you start to see changes. I’ve been going daily — it’s addictive!

I was able to attend a free class here thanks to Unilocal after our debacle with our Elite event that didn’t end up happening. I was so pleased with my instructor, Jennifer, who made me feel right at home. The studio is beautiful and I like that they give you a tour on your first visit. I never once felt out of place, even though, like Veronica mentioned, my clothing isn’t from lululemon. I had a great workout and am going to be checking out the Midtown studio this weekend! For anyone who hasn’t gone before: barre3 classes are more challenging than your typical yoga class but do not be discouraged! The instructors guarantee that you’ll enjoy the class and have fun, too.

Great full body work out with great instructors. It’s nice because they cap the classes, so it never gets too crowded. Awesome atmosphere!

Barre3 is one of my favorite places in OKC to get a well-​rounded workout that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world (and a little sore too.) The environment is clean & simple and the instructors are always helpful when it comes to just about anything. There are a lot of businesses popping up that try to imitate the ballet, pilates, yoga trifecta of a workout, but Barre3 does it right every time. Two thumbs way up!

As I continue to recover from ACL surgery I find myself having completed my physical therapy and basic healing, but needing to continue regaining strength and muscle tone. I spent my childhood and most of my adulthood playing very competitive soccer with coaches, trainers and teammates motivating me to «take it to the next level». Now I find myself in a motivational vacuum, needing a more structured and directed workout than just having access to exercise equipment. I want and need to be pushed beyond what is comfortable, but do not yet have the physical and psychological ability to get back in shape the way that I’m used to since normally I’d just join an adult soccer league and let the games do all the work. Which, I guess, is part of the reason I hurt my knee to begin with.
Enter twilight Barre3 classes behind Whole Foods this summer. My sister-​in-​law invited me to come with her to one of the free Barre3 classes being held throughout the summer on the lawn behind Whole Foods. It’s not normally the kind of thing I do, but I’ve been trying not to let feeling outside my comfort zone stop me from exploring new activities. I also knew I was not doing the work I needed to do on my own to get my knee back to «playing soccer» shape.
That first class was hard on my body, but in the best way. I still cannot do activities that require high impact or sudden changes of direction, so the emphasis on small movements, core strengthening and balance that make up a Barre3 class are exactly what the doctor ordered. I got sweaty without having to cover any distance, I don’t know why that seems like such a surprise, but it felt like an amazing revelation at the time.
I bought an intro package the very next day to see what a «real» Barre3 class was like. One hesitation I have with taking exercise classes is the unknown learning curve barrier. I was surprised that I could get such a great workout with such a reasonable learning curve. Each class is structured so that experts and long time devotees can coexist with complete beginners like me and due to the numerous «modifications» the same class can be challenging to everyone. The instructors and staff work hard to know your name, make you feel welcome in their community, and concerned with your body image goals.
The studio itself is clean, inviting and comfortable. The lighting is complimentary, the equipment is well kept. It’s a very spa-​like setting. I can continue to gush about all the ways going to Barre3 classes has had a positive impact on my life, but I will spare you. It’s great gift to give yourself.

This Barre3 is located conveniently in the middle of upscale Classen Curve where you can dine fine, shop in elegance, and tone with class. Many of the patrons, and definitely the instructors, must shop at the Lululemon in the shopping center. I always just wear my clearance tanks and yoga pants.
Every instructor that I have taken a class with is very friendly, makes an effort to learn some of the names, and encourages everyone throughout the class.
They offer complimentary filtered infused water (you must bring your own vestibule) and a shower. I have only used the shower once, right before an event I had to rush off to. They have complementary body wash and shampoo with a towel waiting for you. The water pressure was a little tricky, but nice to have at a gym when you live 10 miles away.
I rarely come, though I do love it, because the prices are a bit steep. $ 20 for a class. There are deals, but they are quite the upfront cost.
If you sign up for a class in advanced, make sure that you go; otherwise, you pay anyways.

The OKC (and Edmond!) Barre3 studios are beautiful. They are warm and inviting even if you have never taken anything like this class before.
I have been going regularly for 7 months now, and it’s safe to say I’m addicted to the way this class makes me feel. I have seen a difference in my strength, my posture and the overall look of my body.
The instructors are fantastic! I haven’t met one that I didn’t like (and I’ve taken class with many of them)! Each one has their own style which makes the classes fun, and never boring. The class is all about elongating the body and toning the muscles — long and lean! There are plenty of modifications offered up in case you’re a bit sore that day, or healing through an injury or whatever. On the flip side to that, there are always ways to modify up if you’re looking to challenge yourself, too. It’s quite a workout, and worth every second.
I can not say enough good things about Barre3 in general, but especially the Oklahoma studios!

I was stuck in Oklahoma for a month and wanted to find a more exiting way to stay in shape than joining a regular gym. Barre3 has a beautiful workout studio. The classes are easy to follow and the instructors are helpful. It’s quite the workout! Always left red and sweaty. :-) If I actually lived in OKC I would probably would have become a regular member.
