There are some welcome changes like full length mirrors, two changing rooms and better sound equipment! Love that most of the former instructors stayed. I basically took classes for the amazing instructors and I glad that they stayed at the studio. They have barre , circuit training, Pilates and yoga classes. I love the the instructors who are very involved and pay attention to their clients and their workouts, including the new owner Kate Ferguson! They have some new client specials going on and I highly recommend that you take advantage of them. I love barre, it is deceptively simple but so fulfilling! My muscles ache for at least 2 days after and I feel so much stronger and accomplished . Circuit training is challenging and rewarding in its own way. I don't do Pilates and yoga as much but I know people who swear by them. Love the community feel of the studio, and how we all got to know each other and help make our workouts more challenging and this place awesome!

TLDR: exploitative membership terms, excessive penalties, poor quality instruction, and…read morenegligent/hostile management. Don't believe all the 5-star reviews, they solicit these with give-aways and raffles. Notice many of the reviews are from accounts that rarely ever review (especially on Google). Exploitative Membership Terms: If you want to buy more than a drop in class, PLNK puts you on auto renew / bill when you sign up, then restricts your ability to cancel in advance of the next billing cycle (must request in email 10 days in advance of the billing date).This keeps you locked in. Additionally, they heavily restrict the booking window on their passes. Classes are always booked out two weeks in advance. So, you're stuck with class passes you can't use, which then expire. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and at $30-35/class this really hurts. Excessive Penalties: They also penalize you with an extra $20 fee in addition to the $35 class fee you if you don't show up, and $15 fee if you cancel within 24 hours. They then take your space and give it to someone on the waitlist. If that person isn't there in person to take your spot when you no-show or last minute cancel, they are also charged a no-show fee. This is how they turn a $35 seat in their class into a $90+ seat. Negligent / Hostile Management: You aren't allowed to speak or interact with management -- they cite personal safety concerns (??) -- and instead put all the responsibility for dealing with guest complaints to their front desk staff who are unpaid interns. If you do manage to reach management via their anonymously maintained studio email addresses, they will gaslight you and and threaten you with being banned from the studio. I had this experience first hand and their harassment continued after I cancelled my membership and left the studio. Poor Quality Instruction / Injury Risk Finally, the quality of the instruction in low with teachers turning over really quickly and minimal training. Many teachers either are unable to or were not trained to describe the physiology of the movements, instead relying on branded names for each, and assuming you know it. When you look around the studio you always see many people looking confused and looking at each other for guidance. The risk of injury is high here.

The staff and instructors are always so bubbly, energizing, and supportive. I am instantly happier when I step foot in the building. It's CUTE and PINK, with fun merch and giveaways going on all the time! I have gone to a range of class types: Yes Choreo (choreography), Yes Move (follow-the-leader/freestyle), Poms (cheer style), Barre/Ballet, and ReSOUNDing Yoga (sound bath/yoga) and have loved every one! They have several class purchasing options including monthly memberships, pay by class, or class packs online. I bought a 10-class pack which came out to $18/class. I think it's a great value for such a fun, empowering, uplifting, safe space for EVERY body! Give it a try - you'll love it!

My initial impression was excellent. The entry area seems more spacious and inviting, and the selection of retail items (think: sticky socks) and wearables, is significantly enhanced. In fact, I scooped up a pair of leggings by Beyond Yoga, in navy, with a gold splatter print--these will be perfect for the holidays. The class that I took was the right mix of challenging and accessible. The studio was kind enough to provide refreshments--coffee and some gluten free muffin bites--post class.

They required socks which I didn't bring since my gym is barefoot but she provided them to me to borrow which was nice. The workout space is uplifting and well lit with outside views which was a fun touch. It was a slower pace than what I'm used to with stops for stretching and putting weights away. The instruction was good with a lot of focus on technique which I appreciated. I definitely got that good barre shake. I prefer a faster paced class with more upbeat music but this was definitely a good way for me to mix up my routine.

I am not a fit person, I am working on it- and it can be very intimidating walking into a new class as the new and obviously most out of shape person, but the instructors are amazing and helping me modify the parts of the class that I can't do yet, and constantly keeping me engaged and motivated without feeling singled out. The other students are supportive and nice, not at all snobby and each class is different enough to keep me engaged. I leave feeling stronger than I left and I enjoy the challenge. Even if this style of class is foreign to you, keep going and keep working- you can find progress and always improve- it never gets easier and that is the sign of a GREAT workout!

I got the first month membership at $99. I signed up for these classes because I was having…read morepostpartum depression after recently having my baby. The classes have helped me a lot. Weights are involved in some exercises, but a lot of it involves lifting your own body weight. Lots of sweating and shaking of legs (they really work your butt muscles), but they encourage the shaking because it usually means you're truly challenging yourself. They also offer alternative positions if the default ones are just not working for you. I have only seen women in the classes, which I prefer because I feel a sense of camaraderie with them. Even if I have to modify my exercises, I always feel accomplished at the end. Since joining, my balance has gotten better, and my ab and butt muscles are stronger! Instructors are very motivational and friendly. During the classes, they sort of cheer you on, and they will walk around to check in with people individually, asking them how they are feeling and helping them make adjustments if necessary. They also make an effort to remember people's names. Bathroom is very clean! I give it 4 stars rather than 5 because the normal monthly membership is a little expensive for me. Could they offer a deal like, commit to 4 months and you get $20 off your monthly dues? Overall, I really enjoy Barre3, and it has helped my physical and mental wellness. **I would also like to add that the pictures in the description are accurate. Some companies will use pictures that are misleading and not representative of what the location actually looks like. Not the case with this one. They keep it very clean.**

Signed up for the 2-week unlimited thanks to Yelp and am completely infatuated with this class. The studio - modern, open, clean, cork floors, bathroom amenities.

The workout - I'm usually a gym/run rat but have dabbled in some class addictions. But, this class pushes me to my limits and fatigue my muscles. A great cardio, rear and core workout.

The next two teachers didn't work as well for me - clearly knew their stuff, but weren't oriented toward beginners and seemed irritated when I would ask questions. I emailed the owner, Melissa, to give her some feedback on this and ask her advice. When I sent that message - friendly, complimentary of much of my experience while critical of the lack of beginner support - I expected a response in kind. Instead, I got some of what seemed like random boilerplate ("we offer group exercise classes" - yes, I know, I've been to three of them!), some defensiveness ("my teachers have worked here for five years!"), and some PR-speak ("Barre3 is as much about community as the workout itself. Our goal is for our clients to leave feeling stronger and more empowered"), but very few answers. I asked which teachers would be best for beginners and was told "all of our teachers have their own teaching style," which doesn't help. Melissa did say she would show me the moves to help set me up for success. I also asked why they didn't have any plus-size clothing in their boutique area up front, and was told that they carry only a limited selection in the store but they have a sign stating they'll special-order other sizes. She even sent me a picture of the sign, which cracked me up - I believed her. I mentioned in my email reply that having any item in the store in a plus size would have helped me feel more included, and the answer was, "We are absolutely inclusive." That's....not how that works. I had no idea when I sent my initial message that I was going to end up being unwilling to go back to this studio! I'd expected a conversation to happen and for me to go back to certain teachers that were best for beginners, perhaps armed with modifications. But Melissa was so defensive and so unwelcoming that I don't feel comfortable returning. Luckily, there are many more barre studios in St. Louis.
