Clean studio with lots of food options within walking distance. Went to try out barre and liked the studio. Parking is either metered street or there is a lot behind the studio. read more

Body Dada - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been a member at bodydada for four years, and I truly cannot imagine my fitness routine -- or my community -- without it. What makes bodydada so special starts at the top. The owner, Kim, has created something genuinely rare, a studio that feels like a tight-knit community rather than just a gym. She leads with so much warmth and intention, and it shows in every corner of the space and every person she brings on board. The instructors are absolutely world-class. Every single one brings their own energy, style, and expertise to the barre and yet the quality is consistently incredible across the board. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime regular, you'll feel challenged, supported, and seen. I've taken classes with all of them over the years, and I'm always excited to walk through the door no matter who's teaching. Four years in, bodydada still feels like the highlight of my week. If you're on the fence about trying it, consider this your sign. read more

Took a class here and upon entering the studio, it felt pretty clean! The class with Kim was upbeat and fun. I'm new to barre classes so this was a nice challenge. The class is focused on small movements that isolate your muscles. The small weights really get to you the more reps you do so I understand why it starts with 1, 2, 3 lbs and etc. read more

My background in gyms is more on the corporate/luxury side so I've seen high quality instructors and beautiful facilites. So believe me when I say body dada is worth switching over to even if just for a little while to try it. It's more modest but has heart, artistry and a unique happy place feel that I've never seen - think pink, pink lights! All the instructors are or were former dancers ranging from ballet to modern to pop - artists in their own right. Their barre classes are an amazing workout with the added benefit of feeling choreographed. I was with Zsolt for about a year and a half and literally went from a size 12 to a size 4 (I have the pics to prove it). So much fat killed! Not afraid to show abs anymore. He's funny, has great music and clearly you get an intense workout, but the crazy thing is it goes by in a heart beat, like some magic trick. Try it, you'll see. I took a couple classes from Camila, Malin and Milka - also amazing! Surprisingly, barre is a good supplement to running if you're into that. I am. And Kim! The owner is so sweet and caring - really responsive and wonderful. Not having a phone number to call into was never a problem for me. Really a lovely place and will miss the classes and people a lot. Take care Zsolt, Kim and body dada. read more

I have yet to take a group class and so far have taken a 1:1s with June. She's so sweet, makes me feel super comfortable trying something new and has a grounded and supportive energy. I love how quickly the class goes and how it engages muscles I don't use enough including smaller ones. Looking forward to taking the group classes! This is a great barre workout to incorporate and mix up with other fitness classes. Also love the nostalgic elements that are fun, playful and pay homage to Jane Fonda style aerobics! read more

Overall, this is one of my favorite bar studios the classes are always intense. The ambience with the light is great, and the workouts are amazing. I love the culture of the studio. read more

Body Dada - Before class set up! - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love coming to Body Dada Kim, June, Kelsey, Ellie, and Donyea are all very welcoming, energetic and all around lovely instructors (and people!!!) I am new to barre/pilates and was intimidated to try it out. But they are very helpful and fix my form and technique so I don't hurt myself. The studio has a fun atmosphere and aesthetic, but is also very clean. There are a variety of exercises incorporated to each class, different from the previous class -- keeping each engaging, challenging, and fun. There is a strong sense of community in the studio. read more

Body Dada - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Body Dada is a fantastic studio; I really love what the classes did for my body. My husband said, "You look thinner but stronger." How's that for an endorsement?? I mostly attend Milka and Lili's classes and really appreciate their styles and quality of workouts. During class, they kick my butt and make my muscles burn like fire, but they are so kind and friendly, I ask myself, "How can I hate you and love you so much at the same time? They both made intentional efforts at remembering my name. Milka even followed up and checked in about my toe injury; Lili remembered my bunion. That kind of personal connection makes such an impact. They are a huge asset to the studio. Lastly, Kim, the studio owner, is responsive, generous, gracious, and warm whenever I emailed her about anything. Excellent customer service is greatly appreciated these days. I would 100% recommend Body Dada to anyone looking to workout in a studio setting. read more

I'm new to working out, been a couch potato and only exercise was walking my dogs for the past few years. My husband encouraged me to get off my butt bc we're not getting younger so I decided to try the free trial on ClassPass and visit various gyms near me to see how I'd like them. I had done Pilates for a few months so felt vaguely confident enough to try barre. My first experience was with another studio in Pasadena - it was crowded and instructor felt like she was annoyed with me not knowing the proper form. I decided to try Body Dada after, but was a little apprehensive. What a huge difference! My instructor was Kim and she was so fun and energetic, and everything felt very welcoming from the get go. The vibes were also immaculate in the studio lighting and decor. The class itself was challenging but fun, and I was able to vaguely keep up even as a misshapen human potato. After the class, I thought, this is why people work out, because it's fun! I canceled my classpass trial and signed up for a membership with Body Dada instead, bc I didn't need to shop around anymore, I found the one! Super looking forward to improving myself with the help of all the instructors! read more

I don't know why it's taken me this long to write a review but I've been a monthly member of Body Dada probably for about 2 years and not to sound dramatic but it's changed my life. The first class I took I was like "dang this is hard!" I was a mess, stopping, flailing, taking multiple breaks. Planks? Pushups? It was hard! But the encouragement of the incredible teachers, the fun music, the community of mostly women, the rock hard bods of the other women (of all ages 20-70), I felt compelled to keep going. Now I can not only get through the classes, I feel strong as hell, I look good, I feel good, I'm proud of myself after every class, I have more energy. I've never been a super athletic person so being able to see my body change and become stronger at the age of 50 has been so confidence building. Natalia, June, Kelsey, Kim, and Milka are some of my all time favorite teachers but they're really all great. Give it a try! I guarantee you'll be hooked, it's so worth it. read more

These classes are sneaky because the light weights seem so simple but rest assured that this class is challenging! I work out a few times a week lifting weights but this class is fairly fast paced so it incorporates cardio and strength training. The instructor was wonderful and gave great cues and modifications. It can be intimidating that the other students seem to be so advanced but I realize any judgment was self imposed and no one in the class is concerned about someone needing to take breaks or modifications. I was sweating profusely by the end but the class does seem to fly by and I will definitely be taking it again! read more

Truly the best studio I have ever been a member at! All of the teachers are lovely and have created such a fun, positive environment. Classes are tough but in the best way. read more

i'm obsessed and addicted and completely dadapilled. this is a haven for fun and flirty femme energy. the instructors are ANGELS - there's truly not a flop in the bunch. the workout makes me feel amazing and hot and it goes by in approximately 30 seconds. body dada followed by iced coffee and a target run?? that's when i'm closest to god... take my money read more

My favorite workout - during my first class I mentally decided not to come again (it was so hard) but my friend told me to keep trying. after I got over the hump of the first few classes, I was addicted! It's low movement but uses intense muscle & core strength. Health is always my first goal, but in addition, I've lost weight and have visible muscles that I have never seen before. It's truly the best workout for me & i'm thankful to have it + the instructors are so helpful & kind. I love body dada!!!!! read more

Thanks to Class Pass, I was able to try out this boutique fitness studio in the neighborhood. I was in the mood for an aerobic/cardio dance class, so I took the in studio Body Party session with Kim. Kim is a super energetic, fun, and lively instructor with great cues. I am not sure how she was able to instruct while dancing with us at the same time - it was such a heart-pumping work out! Kim had fun dance choreography and even had an interactive routine in the middle of the class. The counts weren't hard to learn. You end the session with some floor work (glute bridges and core). Some things to note: be sure to wear grippy socks! I came with regular socks and was immediately sliding all over the place. (For the purposes of the dance class, they were ok with bare feet as well.) They, unfortunately, do not check your vaccination cards, but everyone had a mask on in class. Also, it was a small space, and it was at max capacity, so no real distancing either. Parking is also a bit tough - street parking is probably the safest bet to go. Overall, fun class with awesome energy but given COVID, will probably hold off on coming back for an aerobic class until things cool down, or just opt for the lower impact barre class. read more

I popped on Yelp to write a couple of random reviews and Body Dada totally deserves one! I am newly obsessed with this studio. The staff is warm and welcoming and the studio is super vibey which I am all about :) I love that the teachers do most of the class with you - it's helpful to see the moves and also motivating. It's not the most inspiring when teachers just stand at the front so I think this sets them apart from other classes. Not to mention, the teachers are awesome and the workout will kick your booty!! read more

I had such a wonderful time in Kim's class. She kept me motivated and inspired. She is an absolute JOY! I cannot wait to take her class again! There is also great food and coffee nearby. It seems like a wonderful community that I hope to be a part of! read more

I have taken classes with each of the instructors here and they are all top notch. Their energy is infectious, they will make you laugh and most importantly, you will want to move. I love barre but with my East Coast studio closed it's been hard to find quality ZOOM classes at the right times. Body Dada's 12:00 pm classes are my 3 Pm! I love this place and I'm working on becoming a regular, even if I do live in NY. read more

Best workout I have ever been to! Love it so much. Best energy, kind and attentive instructors. You leave the classes feeling so good and see incredible results. I can't recommend it enough read more

This is a gem of a studio and couldn't recommend it more. The classes and instructors are incredible and you'll leave feeling stronger after your first class. It also has such an incredible community feeling where everyone learns your name and you quickly connect with other classmates and the instructors. If your looking to get incredibly toned in an incredibly positive and fun studio then Body Dada is for you! read more

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GYM. Not only do the workouts completely kick your butt the trainers and and employees are the most wonderful humans. Kim, the owner, always goes out of her way to make you feel like aren't just another dollar sign but part of an actual community. Michelle and Alysia always give it 100% and see my go to trainers. Love my gym, love my neighborhood, do yourselves a favor...join. read more

Found this place through class pass! Great energy from entry to workout. Compared to other barre classes I've taken it was more challenging but the instructor was super motivating! Definitely worth it! read more

I took a free first class and absolutely loved it. Great barre+some cardio. Loved the instructor Kim- she has amazing, positive energy and quirky warmth. Highly recommend! Great studio. read more

This is by far the best studio ever! Owner Kim is the most cheerful, positive soul & her classes are pure catharsis. I love that there are many women of color instructors & this is the only barre studio I've found in LA that's friendly & welcoming toward POC. read more

I love body dada! The barre class never disappoints. I was so excited to have Kim back teaching barre in Highland Park! Everyone is so nice and make the class fun. read more

Highland Park is lucky to have a place like Body Dada. Rarely do I find a fitness class or studio that has felt more inclusive, inviting and positive. It also totally kicked my butt. Kim is an expert instructor with a deep knowledge of the body. Her cues are specific and smart and her energy is infectious. She has a smile on her face the whole time but she pushes you a little bit further than you think you can go. I had the best time I've ever had in a barre class. Oh! and her music selection is dope.Do not miss out on Body Dada!! read more
