Based on reading the other reviews I was eager to try B.Fit. While I agree with everyone else that the instructors are very nice, I unfortunately do not have much else positive to say. The classes are incredibly expensive. And they are not difficult at all. I had to go to a spin class after a class I did just to feel that I got a work out for the day. I would not recommend Bfit to anyone looking to get a workout. read more

Now that I'm traveling less for work, I've been trying hard to get more into local restaurants, shops and workout facilities and so far I've been really impressed with B. Fit. Disclaimer: I've only been twice, but the professionalism and intensity of the workout have been a welcome surprise. I danced in high school and all through college and take classes somewhat regularly at Pole Pressure across the street so I assumed I was in good enough shape for these classes, but I found them challenging and that they toned parts of my body I don't usually access in other workouts. I was the only (!) student in my first class and just one of three in the second class I took with Rachel. Rachel's class was definitely way harder and maybe a little bit over my ability level, but I hung in there through the entire thing and can say it was definitely a worthwhile workout. I definitely felt it the next day. What was really nice is that no one stared kind of funny when I had to stretch out my calves or knees during some of the sets, and neither instructor was overly critical when I needed to modify a couple of movements. While it's a little high-cost for me given that I already pay for an unlimited membership at a different studio in town, I hope to come back at least once a week to keep challenging myself read more

I found this place through a groupon/living social deal and fell in love (and now will even pay full price - which is very pricey- for classes without the coupon). Workouts are upbeat and leave you sore the next day(s). I have enjoyed all my classes - especially Rachel's and Charlmaine's. However, I am writing this review because I had a less than great experience with Kelly. Although upbeat, she never corrects form (and mine is horrible!) and seems like she is there to do the workout herself. I asked a question about leg placement and she snapped at me. I will steer clear of her classes from now on. read more

So after coming here for almost two months now I've become a much bigger fan. What gives this place the extra star is the friendly, warm community feeling - without it being cultish. The instructors and attendees are all very nice. I've found with other barre studios, the instructors/attendees can seem oddly stuck up (ahem Lava). Like who are you to be in 'our' class or some studios where it almost seems like a flash mob. Strangers flock to class and then disperse, not a lot of lingering or exchange of pleasantries. I'd like to take the time to reiterate recs for Rachel (amazing energy, and will prove to you why you need to go more often - have you seen those arms?!)and Charmaine (great adjuster and all about form, no point in doing barre if you're not doing it correctly! read more

What a gem. I used to play team sports, but ever since I graduated I have never found myself a regular work-out routine that I could commit to. I never even considered doing barre or pilates or yoga because I didn't think it would give me a intense enough workout to get results. I tried barre on a total whim when my husband was out of town one weekend, and OH MY GOD. I AM OBSESSED. After 2 sessions I bought a monthly pass and have't stopped since. It's not just barre- I've tried other spots in town, and they just aren't the same. It's the combination of the quaint little studio that makes you feel like you are in a Paris flat, the gorgeous but down-to-earth instructors, the flexible schedule, and the amazing owner. Everyone who runs and works at the place loves what they do, and they have built a little community of loyal followers. BFit is the best thing I have done for myself in years. My body is getting sculpted, I feel stronger and more limber, and it is a big stress reliever too. I'm super thankful that I found this place- it has changed my life! read more

Excellent workout - every joint and muscle in my body is aching after 55 minutes. The workout is a combination of pilates and ballet barre (with inspirations from Lotte Berk and the Bar method), with emphasis on the core and the booty. I go to the gym regularly but this by far is the hardest toning exercise I've done. The only downside is that at $22 dollars per class it is not exactly a budget-conscious form of exercise, especially in a crappy economy. But hey, noone ever said looking good is easy....or cheap. More motivation to pass on that Grande Frappucino and save the change for this class! read more

Best barre class I've ever attended! I could not stop shaking! The instructor was a sub for someone else and I've forgotten her name but she was super funny and adorable! Kept the class fun and lively all while being attentive to everyone's posture and activity. The class was pretty crowded, but it is a small studio and I took a class on a Saturday morning, so what do you expect? read more

Cute boutique barre studio that doesn't have the corporate sales feel that you get at all other studios. The first barre studio to open in DC 10 years ago. Amanda is by far the best instructor! read more

B Fit is one of my favorite barre workouts to date. The studio is intimate so you get a lot of helpful adjustments from the instructor. I've been to a lot of barre classes where there are so many students packed into a large studio that you feel lost in there. There is plenty of natural light coming through the windows, so you don't feel like you're at the gym, and it's in a great location, a nice stroll from the Metro Station. The instructor I had was really enthusiastic, and gave great pointers throughout the class. If I lived in D.C. (I'm from the bay), I'd be a regular. I will definitely be back during my stay and next time I'm in town!! read more

I love Bfit! I've been going for a year plus now, and have stopped going to the gym as a result. It's a better workout then any workout I do at the gym. The classes are really fun and challenging, and I've felt stronger in my core, arms, butt - all over. I highly recommend Bfit. read more

B Fit by far is my favorite barre studio. The instructors are great. My favs include Clare, Kristin and Stephanie. Their playlists keep me going and they keep the class motivated even when our muscles are ready to quit! read more

I saw results after going to TWO B.Fit classes! The studio is clean, the instructors are amazing about correcting my positioning, and I feel energized and more toned after every class. I would recommend this studio to anyone who is trying to lose weight or just to get more lean and toned. I am leaving DC in a week to go back to school, and I am really sad about not being able to go to B.Fit anymore. I will probably come back on some weekends just to take this class -- it's really that good! read more

I really want to give this a 3.5 stars rating based on the two classes I took. I am fairly new to barre, but pretty in shape so it was not as if I were flailing around and completely struggling. However Jenna,, the instructor,was not in the least empathetic and incredibly harsh in her directions that were pointed to me(although there were others who looked like they were struggling more), which was both distracting and disheartening. I should hope that instructors would want to be positive in their motivation rather than shaming people who are just trying to learn something new. That said, the other class I took with Kelly was great - her attitude is great and pushes her students in the right way! read more

This was my first barre class in four years and the teacher, Charmaine, was really helpful and patient. She made sure everyone was doing the exercises correctly. As someone who has hurt herself in a previous class I really appreciated her feedback. read more

Love this place a lot. The owner is always soo nice and welcoming every time I come. Ive been late a few times and she graciously set up a mat for me. Parking can be tough so get there early enough to find a spot in the nearby neighborhood streets. Highly recommend this studio to anyone in D.C. read more

Lovely barre studio - have been to many studios in the area - BFit provides quality classes with great teachers! Lovely studio space and great workout + deals - always friendly and accommodating, never intimidating! What more could you want? read more

Great Barre studio! The studio, lounge and bathrooms are clean. The instructors, "Barre-tenders" are really nice and are well trained. I usually go to the 10:30 class on Saturday which is either Gina or Jena's class. The classes are a really intense workout, which I enjoy. The studio often has class packages, which makes it easy to afford the classes. I love this studio! read more

TUCK, TUCK, SORE ... Okay, that's not what the instructors say but it's how I feel. I have never left a class not feeling sore or woken up the next morning regretting yet craving the isometric movements of B.Fit Barre Method. The classes are fun and energizing. The teachers are not only welcoming, but knowledgeable and encouraging, creating a community. This truly is the best workout in DC, I just wish that they were in VA. read more

I LOVE B Fit! It got me into shape for my wedding and now I love it! The owner, Linda, always greets people with a smile, which is nice after a long day of work. I've tried most of the instructors and they were all excellent, with my favorites being the smiley Rachel and the super-adjustor Charmaine- she always comes around to properly adjust my poses. Each instructor has their own flair but I can honestly say they are all excellent. Sign up online and come a bit early to guarantee your spot. I highly recommend b fit barre!! read more

I've been coming to B.Fit for nearly three years and it has become an important part of my DC community. The instructors are great, Linda, the owner, is warm and wonderful and the space is bright and airy. Your fellow classmates make for a positive and upbeat experience. I appreciate that the work-out is always challenging - but you can also work at your own pace. I have attended barre classes at all the area studios and I love the feeling and work-out I get from this independent studio. They frequently offer special packages which consistently make it the most competitively priced barre studio in the district. I have introduced many friends to B.Fit over the years and am very grateful it's part of the local fitness scene! read more

I attended my first class here yesterday and had a much, much better experience than compared to the larger, more corporate feeling studios. My instructor was incredibly attentive and I appreciated her fixing my form (and the result is that I'm feeling it, in a good way, today!). The studio itself is adorable, bright, and airy. I left in a better mood and will definitely be returning. read more

I love BFit! I am especially a fan of Rachel's classes. Her regimen is challenging without being impossible. I feel stronger and more flexible after taking her classes. She is so passionate about BFit. And she has great music! The only thing is I wish BFit had a larger exercise room. Rachel classes can get crowded sometimes so, I hope the owner looks into getting a larger space! read more

I really love B. Fit. I've only been to two classes, but each one was really tough. The instructors are low-key given the intensity of the workout, and the place doesn't have a "see and be seen" vibe like some other studios. I like feeling relaxed and un-judged when I try to keep my legs from getting all wobbly. The downside: the classes are pretty pricey (although lots of barre classes are expensive in DC) and having to get buzzed in from the street can be a little bit of a pain (took me a few times to actually get in). Still worth it though from time to time. read more

I am hooked!! Barre is absolutely amazing and has completely changed my body and B.Fit does it better than any other place I've been too. I've been a runner all of my life, but have never seen my legs and rear change so much as since I've started barre at B.Fit. All of the instructors are amazing and I love that I can pick a specific instructor depending on my mood. I love every instructor I've tried (all of them). All of the classes are very similar, move-wise, but the different personalities of the instructors really mixes it up. Want a hardcore, extremely fast pace class that will make you cry? Go with Rachel (my fav!) or Megna. Want a more ballet flow class? Go with Stephanie. Want lots of corrections to make sure you are doing every move correctly? Jenna and Charmaine are it. Also, I cannot say enough about the owner Linda - great lady and really goes out of her way to accommodate you and make sure you are happy. The location is not really convenient for me, but I love it so much I've bought several packages and have used them all (a rarity for me). Great place, great workout. read more

This place is AMAZING. The workout is tough but fun, and the people are great. I've had Jenna, Theresa, Kelly, Stephanie, Gina, Katie, and Amy as instructors, and I wouldn't say a bad thing about any of them. Jenna, Gina, and Kelly are my favorites, but that's just personal preference. They're all friendly and helpful, and will give you a helluva workout! It can be expensive, but is totally worth it. read more

I love B Fit! Everyone who works there is so warm and welcoming, and it's just a positive environment overall. Not to mention, it's a great workout with fantastic instructors. read more

I finally tried their bar class and couldn't be happier. Their studio is truly one of a kind, everyone is warm and friendly and instructor was extremely helpful in getting me into the moves. The music definitely helped get me into the groove. Definitely coming back for more! read more

I didn't actually take a class here (yet) but I wanted to warn future attendees that all material is not provided for the class - you are expected to wear sticky socks for the class and are not allowed to take the class without them. You can buy them there for $10-$15 which is what they cost at REI but you still may not want to do if it's your first time and you're not sure you want to do it periodically. Three stars because they're so strict about that, even to newcomers and first timers. read more

I took my first Bfit class last night and absolutely LOVED it! I never ever write reviews but I feel like after the great experience I had last night at B Fit, I owe it not only to B Fit and the wonderful instructor Stephanie but also to anyone who is on the fence about trying or looking for a good barre workout. I should preface by saying that I am not a dancer nor am I remotely flexible but I love a good, challenging workout that is FUN and enjoyable--and this not only fun and enjoyable but challenging in the best way possible. I had tried a barre class a few times in St. Louis but this class was INFINITELY better--the instructor, Stephanie, knew what she was doing and was constructive and KIND. I knew that I wasn't doing anything correctly but she helped me position my body and try the new moves as oppposed to yelling commands and overlooking my incorrect form like I have experienced in other classes. I am so sore today but so excited to return to Bfit and try it again. I highly recommend Bfit! read more

Chrissi's class is amazing. Absolutely the best barre class in DC. She is an expert instructor.

I took barre classes in New York before I moved to DC and am thrilled that I found B. Fit. The instructors are top-notch and they really make the effort to give personalized attention. The classes are great - definitely challenging and incredibly effective. For the best workout you'll ever get in a friendly, caring environment B Fit is the place to go. read more

I have recently been trying several different barre and Pilates fuse exercise classes in DC and in NYC. I think BFit is pretty good, although I think the teachers at some of the other places teaching bar workouts, such as the Bar Method, provide a bit more personalized instruction. In addition, the studio is pretty cramped and not perfectly designed as a fitness place. The workout is very similar to that of other bar classes. Some of the exercises are clearly too tough for quite a few people in the class, and rather than provide an alternative like they do in Bar Method, the teachers show only the most advanced variations. That said, I still enjoy the workout, and because it is convenient to my office, I am regularly going to the classes, in addition to classes at Fuse Pilates. But I would probably go to Bar Method if it were equally convenient. read more

I've been twice and have enjoyed both classes. I do several barre classes a week and this one is one of the best in DC. I'll be back.

A few years back I had visited Physique 57 in New York City and wasn't really in any type of shape to appreciate the class. Now after living in Dc for the past couple of years and getting myself in shape I started looking for a class that could supplement my regime and B Fit is the perfect place. Knowledgable instructors and challenging classes are just what I needed to help sculpt my body. read more

B. Fit is an incredible barre studio. I will admit, I was new to barre before first trying a barre workout at B. Fit. However, I fell in love with B. Fit's classes and instructors immediately, in addition to the barre method. Classes are challenging and entertaining, and the teachers are knowledgeable and encouraging. I will say working out at B. Fit has been my favorite group class experience to date. Whether you're new to the barre method or a veteran, this is the studio for you. read more

B Fit is a great barre studio. Linda and all of the teachers (who I've met) are kind and welcoming, and very patient with new students. The classes are a great workout, very challenging, but are still fun. I rave about this studio to everyone who will listen! Rachel and Jenna are the best teachers, but they're all good! read more

I absolutely love this studio. Adorable space that is bright and energizing. Terrific instructors. Lots of great deals on classes. Super convenient location. Well done! read more

While this was a good workout, I wish the instructor would have been more accommodating to first-timers. Also, while I cannot definitively prove that B Fit was the cause, I ended up with a fungal rash (which I have never had anything remotely similar in my many years of taking gym classes, etc) the morning after attending a class at the studio. Other studios in DC require students to wear socks, now I understand why... WEAR SOCKS AT ALL TIMES HERE! read more

Love the studio. The owner, Linda, is fantastic. She knows students by name and is clearly close with the instructors, so a very friendly, community vibe. Most of the teachers are great, keeping the content fresh and challenging, giving individual feedback to correct form. Charmaine is especially great if you're new and trying to learn proper form, and keeps the class high energy. Kelly is another favorite. I find Katie's class to be less good of a workout - slower tempo, slower music, and she has this way of slowing down her count as she gets to 10 that I find really throws off my tempo (Do I keep going at the same tempo we had been doing? Then I'm actually at 12, not 10. Or do I slow down to match your voice? Distracting when you're trying to push through that last set!) Her classes include more stretching and yoga elements that I'm not looking for in this class but perhaps some people like that. Adding extra stretching and breathing means we did one set of push ups not three and frankly I'm here to work out. My point is you may find different teachers better fit your workout style. All this to say, it's a fantastic studio and I highly recommend going and trying out different teachers. read more

I've been going to B Fit for over a month now, and I can't recommend it highly enough! Linda, the owner, sets the tone for the whole studio: friendly, upbeat, organized, and encouraging. As others have noted, the first class is intense, to put it mildly, so come prepared to be exhausted--this is much faster paced than yoga or most pilates classes, and you use way more muscles. Now I'm going regularly 2-3 times a week, and I find the classes just the right degree of challenging. Plus the results so far are awesome--it's shocking how much strength you build in your inner thighs after just a few classes, and my arms in particular are noticeably more toned. Best of all, the classes are really fun--everyone is friendly and non-judgmental, which is especially welcome for beginners; the routines change enough that you don't get bored; there's a great feeling of accomplishment as you get better at particular exercises; and the instructors are uniformly excellent about making sure you're doing each exercise in the right positions. I would give this six stars if I could! read more
