The studio is so clean and the instructors are very welcoming and ensure you know what you are doing. Walking in the studio could be intimidating to someone who has never worked out before on a reformer or xformer machine, but each instructor works diligently to make the class fun while also ensuring you are safe and feel confident in your workout. I have been coming here since May and have completely fallen in love with the workout! Make sure to take Nicole, Cheryl or Amanda's class, you won't be disappointed. They offer 45 minute or 60 minute workouts. Good to know, you have to have "sticky socks" for this machine so you don't slip and hurt yourself. They sell them or you can bring your own.

I've been taking Paul Sobin's Continuing Basics series for about 6 months, and this review is…read morepurely about this series. I'm very new to yoga. There are free classes at my school, but I feel like you need a certain level of understanding of the poses before going to those classes. I'm the kind of person that would feel VERY uncomfortable mimicking the poses in class without learning the ABCs first, just for the sake of feeling sore afterwards. I'm also uncomfortable when the teachers talk way too much about their spiritual journey. I respect other people's spirituality, but when it's hovering over the ENTIRE CLASS, it can be very distracting. Paul Sobin solves both of my problem. In the class we would move from pose to pose, but he'd always mention the mistakes easily made. So when I'm doing the pose, even when he's not nearby to correct me, I could still keep in mind what to avoid. He offers a sweet mix of the physical and spiritual practice. For example when we start the slow breathing at the beginning of class, he'd mention how life is always busy and stressful, and it's good to take just a couple minutes to breathe slow and deep to give yourself a bit peace of mind. I really appreciate this. The series are pretty flexible - if you can't make it to the class you signed up for, you can do a make-up with any other series class Paul/ Sommer teach. Whatever leftover classes you haven't used in this series can be carried over to the next one. Students get a discount, which comes to $10 per class. This is quite an investment compared to the free gym, but I'd be happy to skip a weekend drink for this. People seem very nice, chill, and friendly as well. They also offer a week of classes free before the start of the series. The only con I can think of so far: The class can be crowded, to the point that the distance between you and the next mat is half a mat's width. Come 10 mins early to secure a good spot.

There didn't seem to be any kind cliquishness or snobbery, as I feared there might be in a boutique fitness setting. I have done mat Pilates for over 15 years, but mostly in the vein of video tapes or YouTube Blogilates. I have a love for pilates, but didn't have much experience with the equipment. I tried one reformer class at a studio in Durham that mostly did private instruction and had a terrible experience with the instructor making me feel ignorant, like I was going to hurt myself doing mat pilates at home, and even body-shamed me. HOWEVER, that was far from my experience at Club Pilates! The intro class I tried had us on the equipment right away. The class sizes are limited due to the fact that everyone gets their own station with a reformer, a mat, and lots of other bars and things that I don't yet know the names of. The instructor Amy was encouraging and very detailed in her instructions. I had so much fun, and definitely learned that Pilates with equipment is a much different animal than mat Pilates. The price is, sadly, not in my budget for their unlimited monthly deals, but I do plan on returning to treat myself every now and then! And if my situation changes in the future, you'd better believe I'd be there several times a week!

She will waive final monthly fee since I was cancelling my n February 18 within 30 day payment window and I could attend classes thru end of month. REALLY... after proof sent and it's still my mistake. I won't ever go there again. I was taught the customer is always right and I know that isn't always true. However, if the customer sends proof, you apologize for the error, you don't keep defending your sales rep.

I am a dancer and have been looking for barre classes to strengthen my core and muscle strength…read more This past week, I was offered a free class with Barre3 at Chapel Hill. I had a workout class with the instructor, Casey, and really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of the studio as well as the intensity of the workout itself. On entering Barre3, I was welcomed warmly by the staff, Jess. The studio has a very calming and relaxing aura. The facilities are very well-kept and truly motivate you for a healthy exercise. Casey was a great instructor and gradually increased the workout intensity and techniques. Barre3 workouts are known to focus on strength, cardio, and mindfulness and our workout incorporated these 3 elements well. We went through stretches, slowly increasing our heart rates to reach more intensive exercises and I really enjoyed the focused approach. This helped to focus on the exercise's technique, improving the quality over quantity for the entire workout. All in all, I think Barre3 is a great barre studio where you really have a chance to hone in on your barre techniques and focus on what your body needs in each moment of your workout. I only wished that the intensity apex for the exercises were a bit higher, but of course this is a studio for individuals of all levels. Truly recommend Barre3 if you are getting started or looking for ways to consistently get into barre exercises, as they have class packs and unlimited options ranging from $59-$239. Great option for barre classes in Chapel Hill!

Early 2020, I went to a pop-up workout class in Durham where a new instructor was teaching a Barre3…read moreclass. I didn't know what Barre3 was at that time, but I thoroughly enjoyed that class. At the end of the event, I purchased a 5 class pass and was hoping to use it throughout 2020... which ended up not happening. By the time the gym was re-opening, I barely had enough time to use any of the passes. I contacted Barre3 - Chapel Hill, and they honored my purchase and extended it for one more year. So I got to use the passes this spring! Like a lot of people, I gained some weight through pandemic as I was moving a lot less: So I'm pretty out of shape. I only went to Sunday classes as I live in Durham, and this place it a bit of a drive for me. The receptionists are always friendly. I think I've met at least two different ladies, but they were all friendly and made me feel welcome although I'm not a regular. The instructors! I've worked out with two different instructors, and they were all friendly and all super fit & strong. They gave me many modification options throughout the classes which I appreciate so much since I'm very out of shape. Every single class, I left feeling sweaty but refreshed. I usually bring my own water bottle and a towel, but there are lots of towels for you to grab by the receptionist desk. I love that Barre3 is a combination of cardio and muscle work out. After going to classes consistently for couple weeks (only once a week though), I feel stronger. I really wish this location was closer to home (almost 30 minutes from where I live), so I could come here more often. I'm hoping to get random drop in classes as I loved it so much. Thank you, Barre3!
