Barre3

They’ve truly thought of everything!
The studio was spotless, the employees couldn’t have possibly been any kinder, and the class was both challenging and invigorating. I loved the openness of the studio, and the music that my instructor, Mary Kat, had chosen. I would highly recommend the Magazine street location, and look forward to many more classes there!

love love love me some Barre3! I go everyday so I am a bit bias. Its pricey but since I go every single day I think that its worth it. They have a special for new people $ 99 for unlimited for a month. I highly recommend you give it a try. I compare it to an hour of meditation in which cement is being injected into your muscles. I love it but could see how not everyone would love that feeling

Highly recommended! Wonderful location, clean facility, tough workouts, and fabulous staff/​customer service. I have tried Pure Barre before, but I like this place a million times better. Not clickish like some of these places tend to be. Great place!

This studio is really awesome. It’s gorgeous inside and the staff is super nice and friendly! Also, you get a free class on your birthday, which is really sweet. Overall, it’s a great studio and very welcoming for newbies!

Barre is all the craze and I’m on the band wagon. Dont know what barre is? Let me help ya out.
What to Expect
«A muscle-​quivering hour during which your instructor will lead you through sets of exercises designed to isolate specific muscles, usually lifting and lowering distances of mere inches, alternated with stretching. Your muscles will shake, but that good! It’s a sign that muscle toning has begun.» —
The staff are so friendly its almost unreal. The studio is clean and spacious. Lots of natural light with corner windows right on magazine. They have a cute little boutique area to buy all your barre gear. Nice cubbies for your personal stuff-​no more piles of shoes and purses everywhere. Sign up was a breeze — I recommend doing it online. Prices are a bit high IMO but are on par with other studios in the area. They do offer new client specials.
So far I’m loving barre3! highly recommended

This place is wonderful! The studio is immaculate and the staff couldn’t be more friendly. The instructors are great (Nicole, Laura, Jennifer… the list goes on…) and they offer a lot of variety.
If you tried and didn’t like Pure Barre, I would definitely give Barre 3 a go before writing off all barre workouts. The instructors are more accommodating and encourage a safer workout, and the studio lacks any snob factor.
Like any boutique fitness studio, the classes don’t come cheaply but they have a couple specials for new clients and the quality of the instructors makes it a better value. For the unlimited class package, you also get access to the barre3 online workouts which is great for me because I travel a lot. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Love love love this place! Where to begin: Friendly and wonderful instructors who know what they are doing and describe modifications and «turbo» versions of each position, clean pristine studio with an adorable shop, water filter as well as nummy protein shakes & coconut water, and daycare (i don’t need it yet but v. Cute idea!)
I tried another barre type place in the area and there was no comparison. The studio was not modern looking (had icky carpet), the instructors were rude and didn’t seem to care about what anyone was doing, nor did they seem educated in the body/​muscles as the lovely ladies at barre3 are. Plus as a law student the student discount is wonderful, and my body/​booty is looking its best ever! Woo!

i did the 3 classes for $ 30 to try it out.
Barre3 vs Pure Barre vs running vs crossift
chose this over pure barre because i heard pure barre was very hardcore and you could hurt yourself if you’re new to this kind of workout since you don’t really do a lot of stretching in the class. barre3 incorporates pilates, yoga and small little movements of muscle that make you shake (i.e. pain). however it seems like it’s more for skinny girls with skinny fat that want to tone. i just had a baby 3 months ago and i’m more fat fat than skinny fat right now. so for me, i need to lose the baby weight first and then try something like this. I enjoy running and given the choice between this and running and I’ll choose running. If I had time to do both I would do running about 5x a week and this 3x a week, but with new baby and new job on the way, no time to do this. i checked out cross fit before this. if you’re a cross fit person you probably are not a barre3 person. i didn’t know yet, i just wanted to try out everything while on maternity leave.
the 3 for 3 classes is a great way to see if you like it, otherwise it’s like 15 – 20 a class?
they have an introductory month for $ 99 but after that it’s pretty pricey
The morning classes are busy with stay at homes or lucky people who get to go to workout at 8 or 9 before having to go to work. They have classes until 8 pm.
Pros:
.
THEY HAVE BABYSITTING! For 6weeks older and up! For $ 5. It’s a small room in the back and the babysitter they had when I was there (Mary Katherine?) was great! Other days it seemed like it was the instructors who were babysitting, not sure it’s that big a deal since they only babysit your kid for one hour. they don’t change diapers, but also not a big deal since it’s only for 1 hour. when i was there there were never more than 4 kids.
All the staff were SUPER FRIENDLY, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and made you fit in immediately.
Other sites say that you have to be all lulu-lemon’d out but you don’t. Basic tights and tanks will work.
Clean facility, very modern
Cons:
not for everyone, and that’s for me included right now, but maybe will try again some other time. some ppl swear by it. i also only tried 3 classes but know i’m more of a runner, high energy kind of exerciser and i have to lose some poundage before doing something like this. difficult to enjoy toned muscle when there’s layers and layers of fat on top.

The location of the Barre3 studio is great and very accessible. Upon arriving at the studio you are greeted by a staff member and there are cubby’s for clients to put their belonging’s in. The workout area is large and spacious and gives off a organic and earthy ambiance.
I have now been to a total of 8 classes at Barre3 and I definitely plan on keeping up my regiment with this facility. No class has been alike. I enjoy the different variety of workouts each class has offered. All the instructor’s give you options and modifications to accommodate your physical fitness level.
One of the best things is they offer child care! It is not available for every class, so you should check out the their website to see what times they offer.
I encourage new patrons to come and try out Barre3!

Amazing location, clean and friendly. Definitely glad my lovely friend expanded my horizons with this place :)

The staff and owner (Kendall) here are really the nicest people. I come here just for them. The class leaders are never pushy, but encouraging. They are so non-​judgmental and great. They make a huge effort to learn your name and to check up on you after your class.
The place is so clean, and the bathroom is phenomenal. They have cubbies for your shoes and stuff in the retail store — entrance is on the side. I love their retail store by the way.
I love that the studio overlooks Magazine street — it’s so serene, somehow. The class is great, and the leaders offer several «levels» for many of the moves — if you want to challenge yourself even more, they show you how to make that happen. I love that so much.

This place is wonderful. My favorite thing is the staff. They are so warm and welcoming. They make a point of knowing your name and offering so much encouragement. The studio itself is beautiful. I love how most of the space is dedicated to the large studio rather than a retail space.
The workout is also very different from the other barre studios on Magazine. I prefer the larger, squishier ball that barre 3 uses, as well as the cork floors. They [Barre 3] seem to focus less on standing on your tip toes and «tucking» your bottom and more on grounding yourself through the movements. I think they both have value, but this studio offers a lot more value and I adore the people! I definitely recommend this studio!

My friend and I like to drag one another to different exercise classes in attempt to broaden our physical activity horizons. I was not too excited about going to an 8:30 am class on Magazine Street (I live downtown), but a deal is a deal.
I will admit that I was a bit thrown off by the complete line of lululemon apparel that appeared to be the dress code for the class, as I had shown up in off-​brand yoga pants and a plain cotton wife beater (oh, the horror). Luckily though, I wasn’t escorted out by the fashion police and on closer inspection noticed most of the women were not wearing makeup yet. But enough about the other attendees.
The teacher was excellent and I will admit I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the class. The studio itself is impeccable — bright, modern and full of light. The cork floors were a nice change from the carpeted floors found in other bar studios. The workout was intense enough to cause my muscles to occasionally shake, but not so complicated that I ever felt confused. In comparison to PB, I actually liked this place a lot better.
I would recommend taking at least one class here. Don’t be dissuaded by the plethora of women in expensive work out gear. They actually don’t bite.

After doing barre at another new orleans establishment for a month and not being able to justify the expense thereafter, (and packed classes sheesh) I decided to give barre3 a try. An unlimited month at barre3 (currently $ 125 to be raised to $ 180 at the beginning of june) is much more affordable than other barre establishments and the studio is gorgeous with cork floors and huge windows (carpet just seems a bit unsanitary). The instructors are very friendly and approachable, constantly giving you feedback and pep talks throughout. The class itself is challenging but not as intense as other barre classes. I don’t feel as full body sore (mostly leg and core sore) as I did when doing PB but then again I’m probably not doing all the moves correctly. There is definitely more of an emphasis on balance and stretching for you yogis out there. The music is fun but not very loud, which is good for asking questions and hearing the instructor, but not so much for getting in the zone. Like other barre classes, you’ll need to do supplemental cardio if you want to see a lot of weight loss. In summary, compared to other barre workouts, definitely greater emphasis on stretching and balance with more approachable instructors, challenging, and could do with louder music.
Will definitely keep going to classes.

Barre3 is a combination of normal Barre classes but involving more of a connection with the earth. I’ve only been here once (and it was a free class) but I love the floor that this studio uses. Instead of using the typical mini-​playground ball, the company uses a larger, squishier ball that is easier to squeeze and to lie on. A lot of people can attend a class in this spacious room but try to not get in the corners — you will be battling for leg and arm spaces.
I don’t have kids but if you do this studio offers childcare. The one thing I do not like about this class is how the location says it is on Magazine but the front door is actually on Bellecastle. The door on Magazine is locked.
The first class is free so stop by and try out this studio.
