I got to try this studio twice so far. If you sign up online through their website, the first class is free! This is also available through ClassPass which is a-maaaaaaaaaaaaazing! I got to try this the first time when my friend was subbing, and she totally kicked my butt. The class was a great workout on a Sunday morning and left me sore for honestly 3 days. She kicked my butt in that class. The second time, I took it with Christy. She was a such a fun and awesome instructor, really enjoyed her a lot! I think with my prior training and cardio workouts got me to keep up with her class and not stay sore for too long! (Thanks Alyssa for the heads up on these classes haha). I love how cute the studio is. Very clean and simple. The decor is small and adorable for the studio and provides pretty much everything that you need. Only need to bring your own towel and water bottle and you're good to go! If I'm actually in RVA during the weekends, you bet your butt I'll be taking a morning class again here! read more

Wanna burn 500 calories in 50 minutes? Go take a class! The first one is free on their app (linked through their website) or there's a deal on Groupon right now. I would recommend the Groupon because you'll definitely want to go more than once! I had my first class with Christy, the owner, and already have my next two scheduled. The classes are small which is nice after the year we've had and it allows for one on one assistance from the instructor. After a fairly lazy pregnancy and recovery I needed and appreciated the extra instruction! With that being said I was nervous for my first class but Christy made it easy to modify the steps. I was still covered in sweat and burned 500 calories before I left. As a new client I felt super welcome and can't wait to go back! read more

Can I just say (again) how much I love Class Pass? It's what led me to Corner Barre! This is a really cute and small studio that is basically one big room with bathroom, water fountain, weights, and mats. Loved all of the cute touches with the lights and decor. I took a tabata class which is hard to find in Richmond. I was so happy that they taught it there and it's fairly close to my house, so I immediately went to check it out! There were only 3 ladies in the class, but it was killer! I felt like I got a great, efficient workout that hit multiple muscle groups. Fantastic! The only reason for 4 stars is that their mirrors are incredibly warped. read more

Love Corner Barre! It's so freaking cute & clean in there (who doesn't love that?) First time I heard about Corner Barre was on living social and dang did I get a good deal! I've used two of my 10 classes and I can't wait to go back! Each instructor so far has had different teaching styles but, have both been very helpful! If you're in the area definitely pop in and check it out! read more

What an experience! So this was my first barre class and it was great! First, let's talk about the studio, it's a great size, very clean, with dim lights, art work on the walls it is not intimidating at all. They have all the equipment there, you are allowed to bring your own but they have it there if you don't want to or don't have the equipment. The instructor was super nice, got everyone set up, there were several new people and the music was upbeat!! The only issue I had with the studio is the "lobby" space, my friends I got there early since we were new and there is no where to stand or wait without feeling like you are in the way of the class. There aren't cubbies or anything for your stuff, everyone just throws their stuff on benches. With this being said, you don't need to bring too much with you! About the class in general, if you are thinking about taking a barre class at Corner Barre I highly recommend the core barre, it is a one hour class that is their best "intro" class. Then work your way up to the other classes offered. We went through a series of movements with instruction and motivation along the way...although these movements are small you will feel the burn right away! Instant gratification, that is why I will be back! read more

Bought a living social 3 class deal. Used the first one wednesday. Having done ballet for 15+ years, the moves came easy to me. I did core barre light which is 45 minutes instead of an hour. Good choice for me since im getting back into the swing of exercising. The instructor, Dottie, was very nice and took time to explain things to use newbies before class. Im excited to use my other classes and hope to go more often if the budget allows. I do find it interesting that they charge the same amount for a 45 minute class and an hour long class. Maybe they should take a dollar or two off the price for the 45 minute class. read more

I am new to Richmond and had been wanting to try out Barre for a while, but never had a local studio near me. Corner Barre is a minute down the road, and after my first class, I was addicted! Not to mention, the first class was free to try! The studio is so cute, and I love the atmosphere from the second I walk into the door. If you don't know anything about Barre, there is no better way to explain it than it is truly a combination of Pilates, ballet, and yoga- all to awesome upbeat music. It is hard, it is intense, but it is so worth it. I cannot say enough about Bronwyn's Core Barre class. I love going at 8:15 a.m. - her classes are TOUGH, but what I love about her is that she pays attention to her students and will make sure to correct your form to ensure you get the most out of your workouts. I swear I can feel my body transform at the barre. I always get out of there feeling amazing, and feel the (good) burn up to my next class! Check out Corner Barre - especially one of Bronwyn's classes, you will absolutely love it!! read more

Bought the Groupon for a multi class deal. Loved the classes! The bare light class was a tad to easy for me and left me feeling like I needed more. However the regular barre class kicked my you-know-what. The next day I could feel every muscle in my body - even ones I didn't know I had! If I had the extra funds and lived closer, I would totally be here all the time. Also, the ladies who were regulars looked awesome, so it must be a great workout. read more

Can in with co-workers for a special event class on Thursday night. The owner, Bronwyn, lead a modified class that had a mix of newbies (including me) and experienced barre participants. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep but with the movies but Bronwyn gave great instructions and the moves are fairly simple. I broke a tiny sweat but at the end I didn't feel bad at all. Two days later though, I was feeling it. Not in a horrible I hate my life kinda way but some of my muscles were sore. I didn't think such small movements would do so much. I definitely am going to look into taking some more classes here. You can purchase a monthly, bi-annual or yearly membership OR you can go the per class route in packages. You can even try your first class for FREE! A 5 pack of classes is $60 with a 45 day timeframe. When I want to break up the routine a bit and do something the is fun and challenging at the same time I'm going to check out Corner Barre! read more

I got my first groupon for the local barre (now Corner Barre) about a year ago and have been attending periodically ever since. I'm not one to enjoy working out typically, but I find the core barre classes to be a refreshing challenge in an all female environment that really give a great total body workout. The instructors are also friendly, fit and get to know everyone personally. The classes start to feel more familiar as you go regularly and see the same faces each week. (My favorite instructor was Corey). However, the studio is fairly small and classes are usually at capacity and even have waiting lists sometimes. You have to sign up in advance, but cannot cancel within 3 hours of the class or you'll forfeit a pass (could be up to $15 for one hour), even if there is a waiting list and someone else can go in your spot. Recently however, I've been displeased with the management at the Corner Barre. I've bought a groupon/living social/ Amazon local deal every time it's been available and try to use up my passes before their 3 month expiration. There was an Amazon Local deal this week that is only available to new clients or people who haven't gone in the last 6 months. To me, this alienates the loyal customers who enjoy coming regularly in attempts to gain as many new customers as possible. At the time of this review, 83 people have bought the groupon this week with 5 days remaining to buy. The classes can only hold 20 people, and a huge influx of new customers will make it impossible for the regulars to keep their spot in the class. While they have added additional classes and class times, including piloxing, an increase in client size by this amount would require additional class times to accommodate everyone. Yet the studio already has a full schedule during peak times, and many of the clients are going right after work, so it isn't easy to expand availability at this location. Classes start to book up weeks in advance after a promotion and many of us find ourselves unable to use all of our 10 classes before they expire. I bought the recent promotion ($50 for 10 classes instead of the usual $100 for 10 classes) and hoped they would still honor it even though I've gone within the last 6 months. I'm aware that the fine print was clear on the coupon, but I was hoping they would prefer to keep current customers happy and coming back rather than just trying to attract as many new people as possible. When the use of my coupon was denied, I voiced my concerns with the owner. Instead of trying to resolve my complaint she told me I could get a refund from Amazon or give it to a new client. I guess she would prefer a new member over someone who has gone for a whole year and referred several people. At this time I am boycotting the Corner Barre, as much as it pains me to do so. I really enjoy the classes and look forward to going when I can, but unless management decides to change their business strategy and/or make an effort to keep current customers happy, I can go somewhere else. My Gold's membership costs $30 a month for unlimited classes, so I'm not going to pay $100 for 10 classes I may not even be able to use all of. They are still going to make a profit on current customers who buy groupons since we lose a pass for late cancels or for classes not used in the limited time frame. I hope that your experience with the Corner Barre will be better than mine has been recently. read more

I received a 5 class package as a gift and decided to go for it...my first class was a 'barre lite' class with Kathryn and I loved it. Low impact yet painful, lol, but hey beauty is pain right? Let's just say the next day I could barely pump the shampoo bottle in my shower...my second class I did recently was the 'core barre' class, (what they SHOULD call it is "sore barre", with Alice...holy sore! I like how both Kathryn and Alice were kind and patient! Don't let the cute little pilates balls and the steering wheel looking accessory make you think this is easy stuff... ;) Love this place! Will be back when I am back in town! read more

Ok, I'm officially addicted. A friend warned me that would happen, and I kinda scoffed in my mind. Welp, now I'm eating that scoff. I'd been wanting to try barre for a while, but was a little intimidated since I don't have any ballet experience. Last weekend, I figured it was as good a time as any to finally give it a go, so a friend and I decided to take a class. Apparently weekend classes are pretty popular (well, all the closes are popular, as I've come to find out!) so we were only able to secure spots in the core barre lite class. This is a 45 minute class, as opposed to an hour, and it's geared towards beginners or those wanting a less intense workout. Since we were both beginners, we figured this would be a great way to ease into the exercise. Ashley was our instructor and she totally made us feel at ease and explained every move as we went. The 45 minutes seemed to fly by, and after the class both my friend and I felt like it was a tad too easy. But we enjoyed it so we committed to trying a full class before giving up on barre. I should note that despite feeling like it was too easy, my arms did feel like they had gotten a workout the next day. Not wanting to wait forever before giving it another shot, I signed up for the Tuesday pilates barre class, a 60 minute class fusing pilates and barre. Ashley was my instructor again and she was just as great as she was during my first class. I could totally feel the burn during this hour-long class and knew it was working some of my rarely used muscles. I left invigorated and excited to try another class! Today, I tried the regular core barre class (one hour) and it was amazing. I think I enjoyed it even more than the pilates barre class, if only because it seemed a little faster paced and the tunes were totally up my alley. The first two classes didn't have me breaking much of a sweat, but today kicked my booty. In a good way. Alice was the instructor and, just like Ashley, she made me feel comfortable and was awesome about explaining every move. I guess I should also mention that I've never been one for exercise classes. I'm an elliptical and weights girl, who likes to work out on her own. I did yoga back in high school, but switched to the gym during college and continued the elliptical affair after I graduated. Well, I can definitely say that I'm now a barre class fan. Although the studio's on the other side of town from where I live, these classes will have me coming back again and again. read more

I've been going to Corner Barre over 6 months now and LOVE LOVE LOVE this studio! I'm so happy with the results I've been seeing on my arms, stomach, and glutes :) The instructors have been so great to work with, as I get back to my pre baby body. I recommend this workout and location to anyone wanting to get a great workout for a decent price! read more

I started going to barre classes at the corner barre with a groupon and have since purchased a deal so I can keep attending classes. I enjoy the various instructors and the types of classes offered. The instructors are always helpful and offer feedback on my moves :) Thanks to Alex for introducing me to the barre! Keep up the good work! read more

I have taken barre from a few studios and gyms in the Richmond area and must say Corner Barre is by far the best! I work near Midlothian, but live in the Short Pump area. Corner Barre has 2 locations and best of all you can use your package at either location. All of the instructors I have taken classes from have been so nice and they even knew my name by the second class. Besides receiving a intense workout, the other clients were even very friendly and helpful. I have never found this to be the case anywhere! I am so thrilled because I am seeing results already in less than 2 months. Another plus, Corner Barre charges less per class than any other studio in town! read more

I have taken barre several classes in Richmond and I was pleasantly surprised of the intensity of the class I took. The instructor, Catherine took the time to help with my form when needed and the music was energetic. I told her it was one of the best barre classes I had ever taken! Highly recommended if you are looking for an awesome workout! read more

Started at corner barre back in Sept, after getting a groupon. I now have been going ever since. I avg 3-4 classes a week, and feel great every time I leave class. Working every muscle group at each class my physique has over all changed for the best, muscle toning that I never knew I could get. Instructors are all energetic and make each class an enjoyable experience. Stop by and take one class and you will be hooked!! read more

Absolutely LOVE the workout, studio and instructors. I have been going since they opened last year and it truly is addicting. All of the instructors are wonderful, but Kathryn is my favorite! Her instruction is always on point and she has a fabulous personality which makes class fun!!! read more

As a 3 year member of CB Richmond, I am happy to share that I love the small, personalized "boutique" experience. Plus, there are so many optional times to participate that It suits my ever changing schedule. The classes are fun, relaxing and not overwhelming, yet the results I've seen have been outstanding! I was seriously out of shape, flabby when I began but it was relaxing and I've met great women there. The larger health clubs didn't do it for me. I'm down 2 sizes! read more

I have so enjoyed Corner Barre. I began classes this fall and it has fast become one of the best parts of my day. I had no previous experience, but the instructors have been so helpful and encouraging. The workouts are always challenging but so worthwhile. I feel myself getting stronger each week. It is fantastic! read more
