been going to barre3 for years now; started back when i lived in Chicago, then continued my practice at this location after moving to Austin from Chicago. As with each barre3 location i have personally experienced for myself, the instructors at this location are warm, welcoming, exceptional & challenging. barre3 is a beautiful, "full-body balanced workout" that boils down to a unique blend of yoga, pilates, & ballet (barre) work. i've tried alllll the boutique fitness classes & studios, genres, methods/styles etc., you name it...and barre3 is the most fulfilling, enjoyable, & challenging workout experience i've had! Don't get it twisted - each barre3 class i've ever taken has been extremely intense & difficult, but the physical, mental, & emotional health improvements & peaks are well worth it! Barre3's website describes it best, "Our innovative approach combines low-impact isometric moves, large-range cardio bursts, and mind-centering breathwork." - and for each of those details, i'm in love! the cherry on top of the barre3 sundae is that their co-founder/CEO, Sadie Lincoln, is an absolute role model, leader queen! (ProTip: she also teaches & has some of their most-killer recorded classes in their online inventory!) In addition to studio classes, they offer at-home recorded & live workouts. Their in-store merchandise is consistently a cute & comfortable selection that they rotate seasonally - they cover the typical workout leggings, tanks, tops, barre socks, etc. And, you get a 10% discount off of their retail merchandise if you have a membership with them. Price point is on par with other higher-end, boutique-style fitness studios in Austin, & more affordable if you have a monthly employee benefit for expensing & getting partial/full reimbursement for gym membership. They do offer a student, teacher, and military discount off of their membership. They offer a free first class, so grab a friend who is also new to Barre3 & go check em out ! read more

Had my first class with Julia this morning and she kicked my a**!!!! (In the best way possible, obviously!) I definitely will be going back. Studio was extremely clean and very positive energy! read more

I bought a groupon for two weeks of unlimited classes so I went today for the first time. I called mid afternoon to see what the protocol was for using the groupon. The receptionist was pleasant and helpful on the phone. She even remembered me when I got there. She helped me get checked in and showed me around. The entryway is cute. It has a little "store". It also has two bathrooms with lots of diapers etc. It seems to cater to moms as there was even a little baby section (daycare corner). I don't have a baby so I don't know how they work that so you would have to find out. It looked organized. The class was great. The instructions were clear and the teacher played good music. The room is quite warm so be prepared for that. I loved it. I can't wait for another class! read more

This is quite south but worth it because... it is one of the largest studios I have ever seen! It can probably fit two of barre3 Henderson's inside of it! it has one of the best instructors I have ever had! Layne is challenging, motivating, and just awesome. She reminds me of Allison, one of my favorite instructors ever at b3H. it has early Sunday classes! This is the only time I can skate down Mopac with no traffic, so even coming from the north to the south it only took around 20 minutes. The staff at the front desk is very friendly too. I recommended checking out this studio, which is also located near lots of other cool businesses including Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf across the street and a HEB if you need to wait out some traffic and wander around. read more

Austin is so fortunate to have three Barre3 studios in town. The Circle C location opened earlier in the year and boasts a larger studio with more barre space. Like the downtown location, it's open, fresh, and clean with an airy feel from the large windows. Barre3 is truly a great concept as it combines strength training, light cardio, and stretching into an ab burning, muscle building, challenging class! There are always options to tailor to your own level and all the instructors encourage you to "honor your body". That being said, they totally motivate you to push your limits and get the most out of the course. I've been to classes taught by Aurora and Laine and both were fantastic! You will leave feeling energized, empowered, and healthy- you can't top that! read more

I took the 8:30 am Barre class with Layne Bruner and I have to say that she's the best Barre instructor I've ever had!! No joke....she needs to be BARRE INSTRUCTOR OF THE CENTURY. I've taken Barre all over Austin and no one has been as attentive as her. There were about 15 of us in class and I felt like the only one b/c of the personalized attention she gave to each of us. She taught with enthuisiam and passion. It was refreshing to see. She gave detailed and clear instruction on each move. It allowed me to deepen and strengthen my practice. I burned 600 calories in 60 minutes. I also appreciated all these modifications she gave and taught for each pose. It especially helped with my left knee since I've had a precious injury. Now for the rest of the studio... The front desk girl is extremely friendly. She's very personable and makes you feel welcomed. That's important b/c I was on a class pass and I didn't feel like I was less equal than their full paying members. The studio is crazy cute and had tons of parking. All the ladies have been fantastic so far. Not too pretentious!! They also offer child care, which is cool. I don't have a little one, but I do love seeing them running around and all the mommies coming in with their babies. They have a huge class selection as well. Besides the studio, I just can't get over how awesome Layne was. She should teach teachers how to teach. Try her and see for yourself. xoxo - AM read more

Barre3 combines elements of Pilates, ballet barre, and yoga in a full-body, challenging class setting. Each class session lasts an hour, and mats, weights, and small towels are provided. You bring your own water bottle, and can refill it at a filtered water machine by the door. Classes include one instructor to lead, and up to 26 students to follow and sweat along. The music is loud, and for most people, the workout is very challenging. Cardio for about half, plus weights, full-body, with an emphasis on core and lower body exercises. Instructors offer modifications to accommodate various fitness levels, but TBH, this workout isn't for people who aren't at least in decent shape. I started these classes several times a week almost two years ago when I thought I was in decent shape, and could barely get through them at first. Way to humble a person! Now, I find them challenging (in a good way) and addictive (also in a good way). You can schedule online and choose from a number of times and instructors. Childcare is also available with advance reservations. This location has quite a few instructors and a number of class times. Although they'll tell you that everyone teaches the same, I haven't found that to be the case at all. Each has their own style, emphasis, and room temperature preference. If you try a few out for size, you'll see what I mean. Everyone has their favorites and those they won't take from again. They'll mostly be too polite to say so, however. The owner here is wonderful and sometimes runs class specials, so look online to see what they're offering, if you want to check it out. Mostly women go to these classes, but there are a few brave men, as well. Women wear workout leggings, sports bra and tank top or camisole, and men wear shorts with compression shorts underneath (because no one wants to see all that stuff while you're working out), and a tank top. No shoes allowed, but some people wear those yoga socks with the grip dots on the soles. Barre3 is a franchise, and there are studios all around town. read more

My Barre3 obsession began a little over a month ago when I moved to Austin and realized I needed to get back in shape pronto. You see, my little brother is getting married in May and I am in the wedding party. A wedding, in general, is great motivation to get in shape but when said little brother 1) owns a fitness studio in Manhattan is 2) marrying a former-dancer-turned-personal-trainer and 3) you realize the wedding party is also all former-dancers-turned-trainers and you're the only one rocking the mom-body, you know you need to get it together ASAP. Enter: Barre3. To put it simply, I have never been more obsessed with anything. I grew up playing sports, and lifting with a trainer, but I never really enjoyed anything as much as I do Barre3. I'm already starting to notice a change in my body: my squatty legs look and feel longer, my mom butt is a little higher, and my core is beginning to pull in and look like it did pre {10 pound} baby. The people attending class are also all great. I think "boutique" fitness classes can sometimes feel pretentious but all of the women (and some men, too!) are all very nice and non-judgmental -- which is key when you're rolling around on the ground, crotch in the air, doing your best "happy baby". Instructor-wise, they are at the top of their game, too (+ funny, down-to-earth, and have great butts that remind you "Oh, this is why you're killing yourself in horse pose right now!"). I've taken at least one class with each and they are all seriously great. Needless to say, I always leave feeling like I've challenged myself and wanting more. If you have kiddos, childcare is also offered. I have yet to bring my daughter because she always has some sort of daycare-bred-Ebola-knockoff but I would not hesitate to do so if/when she ever gets better. And, lastly, if you like to shop...you can do that here, too. They have a ton of cute Barre3 merchandise tempting you as you enter! Bottom line: If you want an awesome workout, this is the place to go. Nothing has ever kicked my butt so hard in my life. read more

Barre3 has absolutely changed my life. After 6 months of regularly attending classes, I am physically and emotionally stronger than I have ever been before. I've tried every kind of workout, including years of personal training. For the first time, I've found a workout that consistently challenges me and still makes me sore. I injured my back pretty badly a few years ago and am still very careful that I don't get hurt again. Barre has made me stronger than I was before my injury, and on the days when I'm feeling less than healthy I simply use the suggested modifications to make the routines restorative and healing. I haven't tried all of the instructors yet but my favorites are: Diana - Seriously amazing. Her workouts ALWAYS kick my tail, but I don't even realize it while I'm there because her personality and voice are really inspiring. She somehow makes you not realize how hard you're working so you actually make it to your edge and improve. Plus, she remembers all of her clients and takes the time to check in with everyone, it creates a real sense of community. Cheyenne - Great workouts, really tough and balanced throughout the whole body. She's got the best playlists! Laura - I haven't been able to make it through a single one of her postures without taking a break. I love how she gives instructions, she's really good at explaining everything Addie - Takes the time to make sure everyone is doing the moves right, she's awesome at checking your form and making corrections as needed read more

Barre3 is my absolute favorite. Such a family vibe. Every instructor is great and different! I always leave with my muscles feeling like jello! read more

I love the deep muscle workout that I get at Barre 3! I am just getting back into working out and I feel the effects on my muscles for days

Best workout ever!!! The hour-long class just flies by. Each class is different so it never gets boring. The instructors are very upbeat and knowledgable. They offer different "levels" during class so you can work out at your comfort level. The owners are fantastic--you can tell they really care about their clients. The class space is airy, beautiful and inspiring. They even have a play lounge for children. I just love this place!!! read more

I love the space, the staff, and the classes! The space is bright and open and well taken care of, the people at the front and the instructors are always friendly and helpful without being fake, and the classes are difficult but well-rounded. I definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Barre3 is my favorite barre workout, and I've tried almost all of them! I love the emphasis on form, 360 degree core, and the low impact movements. I've moved and haven't kept up with the new instructors, but I agree with previous reviewers to try a few different classes - each instructor has her own style. When I visit Austin, I'll always try to take a class with Diana or Layne! But I never regret taking a Barre3 class, and I always feel a little taller and more centered after a workout there. read more

I've gone here a number of times (through ClassPass), so I've had various instructors and all of them are excellent. This place is clean, the staff is kind, and most importantly, I leave feeling like I've worked out HARD! I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking to try barre. read more

Love, love, love the Barre3 classes and instructors. They all are so helpful and give tons of modifications for any physical restrictions. It's the best low impact workout I've ever done! This group of ladies are so amazing!! I love my workouts here read more

Absolutely, love this place! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. The workouts are perfect, they push you very hard but not to hard. The space is warehouse like with lots of space. It is also boutique like with a lot of beautiful clothes and knickknacks. Also, I don't have children but a section where it looks like the little ones are have a great time. You have to try this place out, they are having a groupon special which is going fast. I know that I will be going forever! read more

I absolutely love Barre3. Can't say enough about how great the workout is. The studio is nice, and I love how close it is to my house. I highly recommend it! read more

Love every single instructor here -- always leave with shaking legs! Download the app and it's super simple to book a class.

Barre3 instructors are great with giving modifications and options so everyone can work at their own level!

I loooooove Barre3!! It's my happy place! I leave class feeling better, stronger, happier, relaxed and ready to take on anything! The class schedule means I can almost always squeeze it into my day. Every teacher brings something different and keeps your mind and body guessing. The shakes never go away!! Yay!! It's definitely made my mind and body stronger than ever. read more

This was the studio I visited with my daughter-in-law during a family visit. What a great workout! The studio was immaculately clean with obvious care given to mats, balls, etc. The instructor was spot on with timely verbal cues and attention to alignment. The modifications she offered (throughout the class) were perfect options for me. I'll be a regular each time I'm in town. read more

The staff was extremely welcoming and the instructor made sure to help with any modifications I needed due to an injury.

Worth it. From a self-proclaimed boot camp/runner devotee, I would have never set foot in a studio where I couldn't move...fast. I was sold though by the variation and how I was forced to stretch throughout the workout which is so critical to my other activities. More importantly, the community in this particular studio is very welcoming and unintimidating. You can be as you are and feel like you are not going be to stared at while you learn something new or just do your thing make up, no make up, colorful barre gear or your standard black pants, no one cares. Pick an instructor who is your speed, or a spot in this giant room that feels right. Does Barre3 cost more than most classes? Sure, but so does that gym membership or bike in your garage that you never use. :) It's about value. It costs more because it's worth more. The intangible is the relationships you'll develop from the community and how you feel from this unique workout. read more
