I love this studio! The uptown location is perfect for accessibility and the class schedule works for all types of day. Andrea is an awesome instructor and I would highly recommend any of her classes! read more

I've really enjoyed my classes with Local Barre. As a newbie to barre classes, I was initially worried it would be difficult to keep up or follow the exercises, but the instructors do a great job of explaining how your body should be positioned, and providing modifications for different levels. I've only taken class with Amanda R and Charlotte, both of which are great and motivating. I prefer the West studio, which is a gorgeous open loft space. read more

A great studio with awesome classes and very helpful front desk folks. I'm a huge fan of Kaitlyn's classes and will definitely be returning to attend them. The one downside is the price of classes. If you'r not able to commit to a package, $30 is quite steep for one class but they often have specials that make the classes much more affordable. read more

Great barre studio! I first got introduced by doing one of their free summer classes under the viaduct on 14th street. Then took advantage of their new client special. The studio is clean, gorgeous new renovation, convenient class times and great instructors! Prices are steep but there are specials and packages going on every now and then. I look forward to every class and they always fly by! read more

I started going to Local Barre earlier this summer and have become obsessed! The class is challenging but any level can attend. I love the extensive class schedule which has many early morning and evening options, making it easy to build classes Into your schedule. Looking forward to continuing with LB! read more

Awesome studio! I am rather new to the Barre scene and have absolutely loved working out at Local Barre. They have plenty of classes ever day of the week so its easy to fit a class in. All the instructors have been extremely nice, knowledgeable, and helpful when teaching. They have made me feel right at home in the studio. read more

New to Barre...challenging but very doable. Love how the instructors give modifications for different levels. Although I stay safely at level 1 moves...I enjoy and look forward to each class. I'm not a member but purchased a package. read more

I have been a loyal Local Barre customer since their grand opening. For the last 3 years I have made it a staple in my weekday morning routine. Not only is it a great for total body toning but it also mentally prepares me for my day. I also love that I can mix in Wet barre classes to mix up my routine & get a blast of cardio. read more

My nutritionist recommended that I try barre classes instead of my normal workout routine of kickboxing (which I loved but always left me slightly injured)... so after a little mental battle, I decided to try Local Barre, since a friend in the Hoboken area had recommended them. I was worried about the expense since I am a full time student and work part time, but I was lucky enough to sign up for some package deals that were quite a steal!! In order to just try out the class and see if I liked it, I purchased the 2 for 1 happy hour. That's 2 classes for just $15!! I arrived very early to class so I could ask questions about my injuries and get a feel for the place. I first went to the downtown location (there are 3 locations in hoboken). I walked in and was BLOWN AWAY by the decor and ambiance of the studio. It really is beautiful. Very modern & sexy if I do say... dim lights, dark hard wood, really beautiful. A true change from a kickboxing gym. My first class left me shaking! Instantly, I knew, "OK. I Am doing this!" Having started in November, it was perfect timing for their Cardio Barre Challenge which was 6 Open Barre Classes and 6 Specialty Barre Classes all to be used by Dec 22. I also love that you can book all your classes online and there is a 4 hour window to cancel if you can't make it- which they are very nice about honoring and working with you if say... your stupid bus doesn't show up on time and you have no other way of getting there from WNY (which happened to me a couple times- noting- I should write a yelp review of NJT route 89 bus!!) I went to all 3 locations during the challenge and loved all of them. I know that the Monroe location is expanding and moving to a larger space soon, so that is great news. My only suggestion would be to offer more Specialty classes, esp during challenges such as this. It was easy to schedule the open barre classes, but the specialty were offered much less often and got filled very quickly, making it a challenge to complete the 'challenge'. But I did complete it!! YAY! ending on Dec 22 with two classes of cardio barre and barre fusion. Out of the specialty classes, I have to say my favorite is the barre fusion class which adds in yoga and pilates for core workout and a lot of great stretching. All the instructors, aka 'barre-tenders' that I took class with were great, so I'm not sure about the other reviews. I thought they were all very in tune with their body and how to instruct you on which muscles to focus on and HOW to do that by rotating joints and angles... maybe it helped me because I'm a licensed massage therapist and know muscle origin and insertion... but I thought their method of instruction was very concise and easy to understand. I also thought all the classes were motivating, original and challenging. When you felt you were ready to move up to a different level for more challenge, they offered suggestions. Each class is an hour long and what I really love is the amount of working out you do as well as all the stretching. After an intense set, you are instructed on how to properly stretch the muscle group that you just worked. This avoids getting those short bulky muscles and adhesions that form when muscles get tight. (as an LMT, knowing that most people do NOT stretch after working out, I found this to be very helpful because it is structured IN the class) I was extremely happy with my experience at Local Barre and recommend it highly! I'm so addicted that even after I moved to San Francisco two days ago, I'm still continuing with barre classes... look for more reviews soon. Enjoy!! read more

Have never loved a workout class more than I love these ones! All of the instructors and front desk staff at the West location are SO kind and nice and welcoming. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and made sure I know how everything works, etc. I highly recommend this studio for anyone interested in doing barre classes. It's a great facility and a killer workout! read more

Local barre is one of my favorite studios in Hoboken. The teachers and staff are so welcoming and the classes are the perfect amount of challenge and fun. It is more than just a barre studio with a mix of HITT and core focused movement which I love! read more

Probably the best class in Hoboken... Amazing instructors in a gorgeous space. I'm still shaking an hour after taking a class... Love love love this studio!!! read more

I did the trial week at local barre and really loved it. I'm 11 months post partum - desperately in need of some core training and barre is all about the core. Tried a few different instructors at the maxwell location - liked all. I wish there were more classes on Saturdays. Docked one star from the review as they're a bit difficult to reach by phone. I had an issue with my reservation and couldn't manage to talk to anyone. Anyway, the classes are great - will def be back. read more

I had my first barre experience at Local Barre West about 3 years ago and it was basically love at first sight. First of all the studios are gorgeous (I've been to all locations now and they all are!). They have changing areas and offer beverages which is especially helpful when I come from work and forget to bring water! The studios are all very clean and they clean the mats after each class. The instructors are so helpful and knowledgeable. During the class they give you variations of what to do depending on your level which is important to prevent injuries. They also offer many different classes, morning and evening, and tons of fun special classes around Hoboken. Love this place! read more

I LOVE Local Barre. Due to my work schedule and budget, I can only take one class a week...but I always look forward to it. It's pretty awesome to look forward to working out! At $30 a class, it is a little pricey but well worth it. read more

I just started taking barre the last two weeks and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I took 4 classes my first week! I was so nervous that because I am not coordinated or graceful that I would feel judged--But the complete opposite happened. The instructors were eager to help me get the moves right and showed me how to pace myself and get the most out of the work out. Everyone needs to give Local Barre a try! read more

Local Barre is the bee's knees. I've hopped around from barre class to barre class and this one is by far my favorite- I'm beyond excited about their West location. I think the cost is bananas but they're competitive with any other boutique fitness experience in this area. I have to temper my obsession with it and just do what I can afford. I find the classes to be challenging and engaging and I have really enjoyed every instructor I've had- they each have a unique style but a focus is always to get each client to really work to her greatest ability, and with correct form. I've seen my arms and legs tone up and my strength has increased substantially in a relatively short amount of time. I'm a total Local barre fan girl- it's the best. read more

Great location. Excellent teachers. I always leave feeling stronger than when I walked in!

This is my FAVORITE new work out! I feel such an improvement in my core and I'm getting a lot more toned. The class is fun and challenging but also manageable and I love the different tools used for strengthening. Also, the instructors are always changing it up and giving you a different variety so each class is a little different. Really love how friendly and motivating the instructors are and the class times are really convenient. read more

Let me start out by saying that if I could give more than 5 stars I would! I've been a member since August 2011 and am still going strong, on average 3-4 times a week. They've got a great variety of classes - barre, cardio, sports conditioning, dance - and at this point I've tried them all and none disappoint. The teachers are amazing, although some better than others. I typically get the best workout when I take class from Liz and Amber! For beginners, I would recommend Megan since she tends to do more stretching and pauses in class. If you've never taken a barre class, it can seem strange/intimidating at first, but trust me, you will be hooked once you've taken just 2 or 3 classes! Also, it's great if you have any joint or back problems (which I do). The one thing people seem to complain about is the price. But, if you're able to commit and go multiple times a week, the annual membership is not too bad. $199 per month (normally $260 but they always have a special), so you only need to take 7 classes a month to break even, and from there it just reduces the cost per class over time. read more

Local Barre is my favorite way to start the weekend! The class is sneaky hard, but the instructors are so fun, nice, and helpful; and the music is energizing, so the time flies by! I especially love the Mini Barre playgroup that I can bring my daughter to; she loves the teachers and seeing her enjoying playgroup gives me the freedom to relax and enjoy my workout! read more

What can I say that everyone else hasn't? This place is awesome. I was referred by a fellow mommy who also works out there. I was running only after I had my baby and needed something else to give me a little more to my workouts. I absolutely am addicted to barre!! I joined for the summer and am so happy I did. It's worth it to join when they have a deal; I did the 3 months for $600- and I go 3- 4 times a week. I see a lot of pregnant mamas on the classes too! I'm looking forward to hitting up barre when I'm pregnant again!! read more

I went on Sunday for the first time (I have been to barre 3 before this) and i was really impressed. my instuctor was donielle and she gave us a great workout--- everything burned...in a good way. studio was really nice too and the front desk staff was friendly. would definitely recommend. read more

Try Local Barre! I've never been big on group exercise classes but my sister got me a Groupon for Local Barre in preparation for my wedding and I loved it so much I bought a package of classes once the Groupon ran out. I feel great after every class and I can see my body being transformed. I know that's a bold statement but I've never felt stronger or more confident. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a challenging, toning workout. read more

I love coming to the Barre! It's clean, low impact, and challenging (whole body shakes!) Removed one star for the high price; I would love to see a package offering a $15-20 per class price point. read more

I absolutely love Local Bare. Been going here since April 2011. I have watched it grow from one studio to three studios and still with the same feeling. The classes are great. I love the addition of Spin at the west location. Spin is a growing trend and glad that Local Barre is keeping up. The instructors are excellent and always willing to show you a modification if you cant do something to injury or other issue. I have tried many teachers at LB, and there hasn't been one whom I didn't like. I also enjoy how they all have their own style so each classes, although the same, can be very different. I always recommend this place to my friends who are looking for a good workout. read more

I've been to several different barre classes since I split my time in Hoboken & Medford. I've taken 5 classes to date at Local Barre & have had 3 different instructors. I've enjoyed all the classes & appreciate the subtle differences in each of the instructors' classes. The staff is always welcoming & I get a really good workout each time I attend. If you haven't yet tried LB, I suggest going for it! You won't be disappointed! read more

Took my first barre class Monday afternoon and it was amazing so. Convenient and surprisingly they had an afternoon class 1pm, INLOVE The instructor Amanda was really good, helpful and great music, so I definitely took advantage of the special they had for a 6 pack, read more

Just started using local barre in Hoboken and love it! The instructors are wonderful and already notice a difference in my body! cant wait to continue going! read more

I just started taking barre classes about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them! They challenge me much differently than any other workout class and I can already feel the difference. Triple A and Open Barre classes have been my favorites. I'm hoping that they continue running specials so I can continue taking them! read more

I find it hard to commit to one specific workout but with Local Barre, I find it hard to stay away. The schedule is super flexible with my work schedule. I am able to make classes at all locations and with different instructors. They offer deals often so you don't have to pay the full price for classes. If you're looking for a new workout, I highly recommend. read more

Beautiful space and excellent instructors. I especially enjoy the "quickie" weeknight classes.

Great classes! This was my first time going to barre and the instructors always offered help, asked if I had any questions, and had variations for each exercise depending on what 'level' you were at. read more

After years of attending Pure Barre in NYC, I was very excited to see the Local Barre studio when we moved to Hoboken. I bought a membership and started attending regularly and using the childcare. Most of the barre teachers and the childcare babysitters are great but I was very disappointed with the overall studio. I found the front desk very very rude. I never felt welcomed. The classes are very cliquey and I always left with a bad feeling. Make sure you don't ever put your mat where someone else wants theirs - even if you arrive much earlier. I was asked by others in the class to move if you were in "their spot." The lady at the front desk covered childcare and rolled her eyes and seemed very annoyed with my 1 year old child - but would cater to other kids she knew/liked?? I left my membership with 30+ unused classes. I have never written a yelp review and hesitated to do so - but was very upset and disappointed with this studio and would rather commute over an hour to attend welcoming classes in NYC. read more

Killer workout in a great space! All of the instructors are awesome and know how to get your muscles to shake right away

This place is not only cute but the staff has been nothing but amazing and super sweet. The workouts are the best thing I've ever done for my fitness and it's really a full body workout. I'm definitely going to keep going to Local Barre for a long time! read more

Really pleased with the classes at local barre-- i've taken both Open Barre classes and BYOB (Bring your own BABY to class). I like to note that I went to the BYOB class withOUT a baby and it was totally fine, only about half of the students actually bring babies. All instructors are upbeat and the studios are spotless. I sweat more than in other barre classes and definitley feel the burn the next day. GREAT STUDIO BOTH WEST AND UPTOWN! read more

I'm new-ish to barre, and Local Barre is a fantastic studio (I especially love their Monroe street location). The teachers are very clear and helpful, and the classes challenging. The hour flies! I definitely would recommend Local Barre to all my friends. read more

I have been coming here for over 2 years and I absolutely love it! Class is always fun but it will kick your butt. It is way better than any other barre studio I have ever visited before. The studios are always clean, instructors are very knowledgable, and staff is super nice! read more

If you want to have fun while you work out and you like taking classes, check out this place. The hour goes by quickly. I took ballet as a kid but am a sloth as an adult. That being said, I decided I needed to get in shape, especially after hurting my back. This place helped me feel and look better, and when alerted about my weak back, advised how to approach different exercises without aggravating my injury. The people who work here are friendly, competent and enthusiastic. The environs are totally pleasant -- clean and new, with private bathrooms that you can shower in if you like. Prices are ok (everything can always be cheaper). Location is ok (could be closer to the Path or have complimentary parking). Check it out! read more
