The physical environment is top notch with mats and equipment. The coaches are very chill and student focused. It's about what you need to learn and they have the knowledge.

I am a white belt who just wants to learn and I had the privilege of meeting and training with Professor Ken and his team. I travel a lot for work and have had various experiences being a "drop in", but I cannot say enough good things about the academy, the people who train here, and Professor Ken. They welcomed me right in, the morning vibe and atmosphere was perfect to get the blood moving, Professor Ken gave individual attention and improvements to my techniques, and they let me roll. I will definitely "drop in" here again and would recommend as a home academy to anyone searching! Thanks Coach Ken!

Amy is super nice and extremely knowledgeable. The lessons are about 50 minutes, with excellent one-on-one instruction, and though hard, super fun. I really enjoyed everything about it. The studio is clean and lovely; the instruction is perfect; though the price is a little steep, you're basically getting private fitness lessons for an hour. We immediately signed up for a 5-session package. And I'm definitely sore the day after, but in the best possible way :) It's also right next door to a tea and spice shop, so we went and got some iced teas and sat outside afterwards. It was a lovely outing!

I really enjoyed my experience at Kalamazoo Barre. It was my first Barre workout of any kind. The…read morefacility was clean with everything you need (including water!) right there. I took the regular Barre class and it was a really solid 45 minute workout. The instructor gave plenty of tips if you wanted to make it harder or needed to modify. I was using Gympass through my employer so the sign up was super easy through the Gympass app. The only thing I noted is the actual barre didn't feel super sturdy, it might be nice to have ones actually fixed to the wall. Anyone that might feel this wouldn't be a great would be sorely mistaken, as I am very sore today!

The people who work here are so nice! Unlike a business like Pure Barre or Cardio Barre, this facility isn't confined to just one style of barre workout and each day/time is different. I'm a student so I love that I can just change into my special sticky socks, instead of having to lug sneakers around all day. You can buy the socks there if you don't have them already. They offer classes around noon and 5pm which works great with my schedule. They have water there too. The place is also really cute; nicely decorated with a cool ceiling and lights. The classes are small so you always get personal attention from the instructor. The instructors have great tastes in music too! The classes are impossibly hard (oh the burn!!!) but they make it fun. Their online system to sign up for classes is really convenient too, I don't think they have a smart phone app though. My legs already feel stronger after 4 classes. Only downsides are that I wish they had permanent barres, like the ones drilled into the wall. They have portable ones which aren't always the sturdiest. Also I wish they had some of those hand sanitizer things attached to the walls and more tissue boxes (in the winter) to encourage good hygiene. I also thought they should have little towels that people can use to wipe sweat off and drop in a laundry basket when they're done, like most gyms, oh and foam rollers to stretch with would be an added plus! (This might just be the California in me talking) UPDATE: They now have small white sterilized towels you can use and toss in a basket when the class is over (definitely needed in those intense cardio barre classes) and a big Costco sized thing of hand sanitizer! Yay!

I have been regularly taking classes at Bravo Arts Academy since it opened in May 2016. I really…read moreenjoy all of different classes offered and a big part of that is the main instructor, Alison Peterson-Loll. She has taken her extensive dance background and applied it to a variety of workout and dance classes for adults and kids. She is excellent at helping a new student feel comfortable starting a workout routine and a master at challenging her established students to keep pushing themselves. She is also awesome at adapting a movement or position to limitations we might have with an injury or chronic problem. I have been doing Cardio Barre class (low impact stretching and strengthening cardio class using ballet-inspired movements and poses) with the owner once or twice a week for over 3 years (beginning at a prior location) and continue to find this an effective workout both for beginners with no dance background and, with layered in technique boosters, more advanced participants. I take her Plank It class twice a week as well. This 30 minute workout of 2-3 minute routines of Plank poses and transitions to upbeat music is an efficient way to target strengthening the core abdominal muscles along with sculpting the legs, arms and back. The most recent addition for her teen and adult classes are the aerial silk yoga and fitness classes. Follow Bravo Arts Academy on Instagram or check out the Facebook page/website for photos and videos of these unique classes. In silk hammocks suspended from the ceiling (silk holds over 500 lbs and rigging is rated to hold over 2000 lbs), we do stretches, poses, core challenges, flips, and more. The yoga class is low to no impact and requires no yoga experience. Anyone, no matter their age, athletic level or body type can participate successfully. It is a combination of meditation, hybrid yoga/dance moves and poses assisted by the silk and some inversions. As a motion sickness suffering, I tolerate this class with only a few adaptations and this has actually improved the more I do silk classes. The aerial silk fitness class is for people who want a little more challenge/physical workout invoking more strength moves and involved poses and inversions. However we all start out as beginners and this is again something that is pretty easy to pick up and then build upon the skills you learn in each class. Once you master a trick that you've seen on the website or saw another student do the class before, you are hooked, wanting to see what you can do next. One of the main themes of the classes I take is that they are a lot of fun and unique so you often walk away realizing what a great workout you got doing something that didn't feel like boring exercise. So, as you can tell, I am a big fan of Bravo Arts Academy and I didn't even talk about the excellent instruction done for the children's ballet, jazz and tap dance classes.
