The Barre Code – Indianapolis

Beautiful facility with a very spacious double-​studio set up. They offer a hot bar class and have tons of props available for each specific class. My instructor was very friendly and went around a made corrections to the class but took the whole class along with us which I am not used to in a barre class.
There was a lot of apparatus use that had me wobbling all over the place but definitely got my heart rate up. The class I took wasn’t very full so it felt a little disjointed and I’m anxious to make it to a packed class to feed off the energy.
Love the space!

This is a really great place to work out.
These are challenging workouts, even after having gone there for over a year. While workouts can be modified for newbies or people returning to their fitness routines, you’ll break a sweat if you’re experienced or brand new.
You can tell the workouts are designed by knowledgeable fitness pros. They’re well-​designed to give you the bod you want, and they happen to also be quite fun. Those 50 minutes fly right by.
On a final note, I find the instructors and staff are consistently, genuinely, nice. There isn’t that drama that some other places can have going on. It’s a nice respite to get a fantastic workout in and to truly get away from the issues going on in the outside world.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Try it. You’ll go back.

As the two start review says: meh.
After really enjoying a barre class elsewhere, I went for Barre-​dio, thinking it would get my heart rate up a bit more than a normal barre class. It did, so mission accomplished, but I left feeling less like a ballerina and more like my old awkward junior high self.
A trusty search of YouTube didn’t find any example workouts, so I had no idea what to expect when I walked in. We learned 6 or 7 8-​count aerobic sequences, and would cycle through them for about 7 minutes at a time. Once we finished the sequence, we had toning combinations for upper body, lower body, and core, separated each time by the cardio sequence.
I am easing back into working out so I didn’t expect it to be a walk in the park, but you could see that most of the class was struggling with the moves, particularly in the toning segments. I didn’t particularly care that I looked like a fool, but it’s always nice to have an instructor who will (nicely) correct you to, more than anything, prevent injury. My neck muscles are killing me 48 hours later, assuredly from poor core form. One less «Your body is going to look SO GOOD» affirmations and a few more modifications/​corrections, and I might be a Barre-​dio fan.
The class itself had good intentions, I suppose, but something about it left much to be desired for me. Maybe it was feeling out of place among some really fit folks, or the annoying music that was kind of muffled the whole time… I don’t know, y’all. I just wasn’t digging it.
(Two pros: the floor is super cushy and feels great, and I LOVE that they keep the lights dim for class.)

Perfect Fitness
I cannot say enough good things about this place. Different classes breaks up the workout and the 50 minutes flies by. All of the instructors keep you motivated and are so sweet. Highly recommend Barre Code!

Best workout EVER ! Love this place! Its a combination of pilates yoga and ballet that give you a great workout. It consists of two rectangular dimly lit rooms with a ballet bar and huge mirrors. They turn up the music loud and you follow the instructor to workout to the beat of the music. I love that you never feel judged or pushed beyond what your own body can handle. Classes fill up quick so be sure to sign up and book your appointment online! Downside is that it is expensive. It’s $ 80 for an unlimited month to give an idea of one of their packages. Highly worth it though. Young and old beginners to athletes all fit in and can participate ! A must try!

Feel the burn!
I usually leave every class dripping in sweat. And my muscles continue to ache (in a good way) days later. It’s surprising how sore you can get doing simple movements with just your body weight or the 2 lb. hand weights. Seriously, manly strength training workouts ain’t got nothing on BBF!
I can’t forget to mention how great the staff is. All the instructors are really nice and encouraging. On Unilocal,I don’t tend to dote on places that don’t serve food, but BBF Indianapolis is an exception. My roommate practically dragged me the first time, but she was just trying to drag my butt off the couch after the end of a very long relationship. And for that, I’ll be forever grateful.
