Barre3 North Park is my happy place!
I've been a longtime Barre3 fan--originally a member at the La Jolla/UTC location before it sadly closed during the pandemic. I took a break to try other studios, but nothing quite compared. When I moved to Downtown San Diego about 3.5 years ago and discovered the North Park studio, I knew I had to give it a shot.
I started taking classes again through ClassPass and was immediately reminded why I loved Barre3 so much--the workouts are still challenging, empowering, and incredibly well-rounded. I officially rejoined as a member during a New Year's special in early 2023, and as of today, I've completed 294 classes!
What I love most is the variety:
Signature for a balanced, full-body burn
Strength for more resistance-focused training
Mindful Flow when I need a yoga-inspired reset
Every instructor is genuinely kind, welcoming, and so good at what they do. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned regular, you'll feel supported and challenged in the best way.
Parking can be a little tricky--you'll need to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood or pay $5 to use the nearby parking structure. Avoid Thursdays if you can, because the Farmer's Market makes parking a bit of a mission.
Salina, the owner, is fantastic. She recently acquired the Studio Barre in Mission Hills (soon to be another Barre3!), and I've just switched my membership to that location since it's closer to me and has easier parking--but North Park will always hold a special place in my heart.
If you're looking for a consistent, encouraging, and fun workout that meets you where you're at, Barre3 is it. I'm proud to be a part of this community and plan to stick with it for years to come! read more
