Mod Fitness opened a gorgeous second location located just off Burnet Road. The studio is inside an adorable converted house with a similar feel of the south Lamar location but is more spacious. They also have a boutique selling nice workout clothing, grip socks and fancy water bottles. I did the hour long barre class yesterday and it was an excellent workout. Hollie instructed the fast paced class with grace and before I knew it the hour was over. They also offer other classes like Mod Burn which incorporates high intensity training and Barre 50 (shorter class). There are new client specials and I purchased an Austin Tidbits deal of 3 weeks for $49. If you like barre you will love Mod Fitness. read more

See all

Want to work every part of your body in 1 hour? Want to have fun while you get your butt kicked? Want to feel so sore for days after? MOD is the place. My new favorite place for Barre classes in north-central ATX. The studio is clean, simple, small. It's a house turned fitness studio, with about 6 parking spots in back, and street parking in front. I've never had a problem finding parking, morning or evening. There is a small area for your belongings, a front desk (with a friendly face posted up), 2 clean restrooms, and the work out room. The walls are lined with mirrors and barres, of course. During the barre classes (my favorite), you will need a mat, ball, small hand weights, and a strap (all provided). You literally work every part of your body. Upper, lower, middle, front, back... you get the idea. Every time I attend, I find myself surprised at the exercises that are new to me. I'm a DVD and workout class junkie, and to learn new exercises excites me! You will work your lower half to the point of shakes and earthquakes around the barre, all by being pushed in an encouraging way. All the instructors are just awesome. I appreciate the countdown (just 8 more seconds... etc), which usually leads to an isometric hold... which leads to 8 pulses, then relax (8 more is a white lie). I leave MOD feeling like a goddess. Get your booty to the barre and get ready to work! I love MOD! read more

MOD Fitness - Front view - Barre Classes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been coming to MOD on and off for 3yrs now and it's by far: the best Barre I've studio I've been to! And I've been to many, all over the US! It's my happy place when in Austin. THE STUDIO: The Burnet location is cute and chic. It provides parking in the back and there's ample free street parking. It has 2 bathrooms, no showers! But the BEST part is they provide Child Care while you Barre! The kid's room is upstairs, and it's super cute! The care takers are so sweet and loving towards the little ones. I've only used the service myself only a few times but all the kids are easily entertained by the toys and books. Most importantly, the studio is CLEAN! It never has that wet/musty smell many other studios cling too. I dislike that they have (mostly) stopped using the mats and now we workout on the floor. While it's cushioned and sanitized, I still prefer the mats. Now, the mats are provided with the membership. It's simply grabbing one, but sometimes classes tend to fill up and the mats make it feel like we're taking more space. THE CLASSES: Wow!! Each instructor is so different and so amazing and so challenging in their own way! No 2 classes are alike! Seen way too many studios do this! Because no class is "repeated", you workout your entire body but in different ways! This way not only do you not get bored of the same classes over and over, but your muscles/body doesn't plateau. They will always introduce themselves to new comers to insure they know of injuries or work with you on modifications or postures. The instructors have their own routines and can and will customize it for you. They always offer modifications and alternative poses/positions. They never call you out for modifying, and in fact celebrate that you listen to your body! (I personally hate the boot camp type of instructors! - If I need to stop and stretch for 5min, I will! And I don't need anyone tell me to get back into the position/routine.) Instructors here are very talented and want to get to know you, they want to be sure you succeed, grow and find not only your healthier body, but healthier YOU. I know that's cheesy, but this is the only place I've found all the instructors actually care about proper posture, proper form, wether it's modified or not. There is a wide variety of members. Many pregnant or with injuries and they have found themselves here. I only wish I didn't travel so much so I could do more classes here. read more

I got to come to Mod Fitness during my extra semester at UT and I loved it so so much. I got to work with instructors: Kelly, Jess, Paige, and Christine. Each instructor made their class unique and fun and I always left feeling like I got a great workout. I'm now moving and am so sad I don't get to workout here anymore, I have a huge void to fill. They were so personable and really got to know me, Jess even learned my nickname which was nice and Christine never failed to ask me about my day. Anyways, this is my all time favorite barre studio and am so sad I won't be able to return, I highly recommend this studio to anyone. read more

+ Mod is one of the only local barre studios in Austin (As opposed to the chains), which is one thing that I love about it. Support local! I've taken several barre classes at different studios around town and Mod has some of the most challenging classes that I've taken. I'd put them right behind Pure Barre in terms of level of difficulty, so it's a great workout! I also appreciate all of the challenges (And prizes!) that they offer. It's very motivating. The teachers are great! Very clean studio. I love Mod's clean social media designs. I don't think fitness studios get enough credit for this, so props to Mod. Follow them on instagram! - I'm used to having showers at fitness studios, but it doesn't seem like they had any room for them. I feel like people leave immediately when they're done with class. read more

I'm new to Mod Burnet after trying barre classes at another location in the 'hood. Loved the workout at the other studio, but didn't love that every class was the same routine, with minimal variation. I get bored easily. At Mod, I've been to six Mod Barre classes with five different instructors so far, and no two classes have been the same. Some of the exercises are repeated, of course, but the routine is different each time, and new moves are introduced in every class to keep it interesting and motivating. The second thing I've noticed about Mod is that these classes definitely kick it up a notch. My muscles are shaking and I'm sweating pretty much within the first 5 minutes, and it's an intense workout all the way through. You definitely get a LOT out of your hour. The instructors are all amazing--motivating without being too "Hey girl hey", and they do the workout with you! After having a gym instructor in junior high who used to follow us in her car with a Big Gulp and honk while we ran intervals, I really appreciate when an instructor is in it with you--not just demoing and then walking around the room while you sweat it out. They do walk around to check form and provide assists, but it's just the right amount. As others have said, the studio is absolutely gorgeous--sunlit and airy--and the whole staff is super nice and welcoming (they even called me after my first week as a new student to see how things were going). They even have great little touches like really nice hair products in the bathrooms and juice from The Juicery for sale up front. The last thing I'll mention is the clientele--this isn't a group made up entirely of tiny, fit, dancerly white girls. Every class I've been to has had a diverse mix of body types and ages in attendance, and as (usually) the sweatiest, least graceful person in the room, I really appreciate feeling like I still belong. read more

First off, this studio is gorgeous. It's clean, light, and airy with minimalist features that I ADORE. Every time I come to this studio, I soak up the atmosphere and really feel like I'm doing something beautiful for my body and mind. I've been to a variety of classes at all times of the day, and can vouch that they're all wonderful. Every instructor was fantastic with great energy and a smooth flow of moves to walk us through. By the end of my first week here, I felt more toned, graceful...and sore. Definitely sore:) That's exactly what I wanted! The one downside (depending on where you live in Austin and what time you like to work out) is that there aren't any showers at Mod, so you can't get ready after a morning workout. They're in a great location, so it's not a problem if you're in the neighborhood! I highly recommend this studio! read more

I love mod! Today was my first barre class in a while. I've done it before but it had been a while, so it took me a while to get into things. As others have mentioned the instructors are great without being overbearing. The studio is gorgeous and I love the little store! Found this on class pass and will be back because it's convenient (and amazing). The staff is welcoming the class was challenging but they offered a lot of modification for diverse levels. My only complaint I don't know if it was because this was a Saturday class the class seemed very crowded. I felt like I couldn't fully extend my arms without looking to make sure I wasn't hitting my neighbors. The music is upbeat without being too loud! Can't wait to go back. read more

Okay this place lives up to the hype. It's such an effective use of an hour of your time because you work everything in your bod until you get the shakes! I visited the Burnett location and the studio has a nice modern vibe with lots of windows and natural light. That may seem like an irrelevant detail, but when I felt like I was dying it was nice to look out the window as a distraction. Try it sometime it works. On another positive note MOD was super welcoming to me as a newbie. The instructor showed me around before the class started and made sure to check in with me after the class to see how it went. The studio itself was very clean and had cubbies to put your things, as well as two restrooms. The instructor (Autumn) kicked.my.a$$. I loved that she did most of the exercises with the class, instead of just demo'ing. She was full of encouraging words to motivate us, which weren't cheesy I promise. She made sure to give personalized adjustments if someone needed it and tailored the workout to be super challenging, but not impossible. So yeah, she was awesome! A couple tips: parking is super limited so plan to be there early or risk parking far away down the street. The studio has mats so you don't need to bring your own, unless you feel uncomfortable using theirs (they are disinfected after every class). Also, grippy socks are not required but everyone in the class wore a them so if you don't want to risk sliding around bring a pair. read more

If you want to get your butt kicked and get a good workout, definitely try Mod Fitness. Today is their grand opening for the Burnet Road location and it didn't disappoint. I took the burn class, which the more cardio intense version of barre. I've been doing regular barre classes for about a year now, and assumed I would easily be able to handle the class. Well, I was wrong (shocker). There are 60 second cardio intervals inbetween the regular barre workouts, (leg, seat, core) that keep your heart rate up. There are a lot more arm exercises than what I was expecting and it hurt like hell...in a good way of course. The instructor was great and had a lot of energy, which is huge for a615 AM class. The ball is a little bigger than what I'm used to and kept slipping from my leg grip. It isn't a big deal though because you can do the workout without it. I also need to adjust to hardwood floors instead of carpet, but again- not a huge issue. There's free parking in the back and if that's not available, then there's street parking. The studio is in an old house and is very well put together and modern. Added bonus- this place is on class pass! read more

I started at MOD in February because of an Austin TidBits voucher and have been an addict ever since. Both studios are beautiful and the instructors are on point (just enough talking, motivational and adjusting your moves when necessary). Each class is different and because of that I am never bored (nor is my body)! The music, moves, instructors and environment keep you motivated throughout every single class and therefore produces results that you can't ignore. Since starting I've noticed a change in my body and even in my attitude. I am no stranger to workout classes and even just running at the gym helping me feel better and ready to take on the world but nothing has done it like MOD. If you are looking for a barre class that keeps it fresh, motivating, comfortable and fun MOD is for you. Sign up for a class- you won't regret it. read more

I tried out Mod Fitness for the first time last month through ClassPass and couldn't be more happy with it. I've been to four classes and have had three different instructors (Marnie, Holly and M'Lynn) and they have all been FANTASTIC. They have their own styles but are energetic, supportive and keep you motivated throughout the class. They are great about giving feedback on form in a really subtle, encouraging way as well. I took the Burn class today for the first time, and assumed it would be similar to their other barre classes. Not even! It incorporates way more cardio and had me sweating - I will definitely be sore tomorrow and can't wait to go back for more. Mod is definitely one of the best studios up north! read more

This was my first time at MOD but my second barre class ever. I didn't like it much the first time but was willing to give barre another try, so figured I'd try a different place. Well, I completely enjoyed it. The studio is pretty in a little house in a residential area so the class isn't so large. There was a lot of attention for everyone. They do have parking in the back! I'd recommend anyone to try it out! And my abs are totally feeling it right now, so that's a good thing! read more

This is a great workout studio. I've tried several barre studios around town, and MOD is definitely my favorite in terms of the variety/inventiveness of the workouts. Every time I go to a class we do something different. Same basic principals of barre workouts used (usually small movements isolating specific muscle groups, burning out those muscles completely, emphasis on stretching to create long muscles, improving core strength/balance, etc.), but different variations and methods on how we do it. Variety is important to me since it keeps my mind and muscles engaged. The studio is very cute with easy neighborhood parking right down the street. Friendly instructors. read more

I joined MOD Fitness because of a TidBits Voucher and it was the best decision I've ever made! I've been a part of a lot of different group classes ranging from Pilates to Kickboxing to just running on treadmills. I love working out in every different form but nothing has stuck like Barre! Every single class you go to is different. You will never ever plateau or feel like the class has gotten too easy. I have been going to MOD for a a few months now and have seen drastic differences in my physique. It's a very feminine build that is happening and the classes really play on the female body strengths! Now not to say men won't enjoy this class a well because I'm sure they would get just as much enjoyment! I love love love the facilities. It's gorgeous, sunlight filled and very peaceful. Not to mention that dry shampoo in the bathrooms that saves me every time before i head back to work! I highly suggest trying out MOD Fitness-- you'll see results within a few weeks and you'll also notice how it benefits you in your every day life! Since MOD-- my dancing skills are on point. :) read more

I have taken barre classes at MOD before, and yesterday took my first MOD Dance Cardio+ Barre with instructor Jennifer Wooten. WOW!!! I have NEVER had that much fun packed into one hour - if I hadn't woken up this morning with the best of sore muscles, I might have thought I forgot to excercise yesterday. Jennifer is a powerhouse of inspiration. I can't dance like her, (which didn't seem to take anything away from the workout,) and watching her added a great visual dimension to the class. I'm ready for the next MOD Dance Cardio class! read more

Started at MOD today and I was/am extremely impressed. Instead of paying $20 for a class, I just went ahead and crossed my fingers and went with the $99 dollar unlimited classes for a month. I just left the studio not too long ago and I am d.e.a.d. TBH it has been a while since I have done a workout this hard and I was nervous about starting something like this cold turkey. Yet, I never for a moment during the entire experience felt out of place. This was my first time ever doing barre, and the instructor was SO great! She really worked your entire body and made you feel like you were getting the bang for your buck. The studio is extremely clean/supplies all of the things you need. The staff is wonderful and incredibly friendly. At first I just took a look at this place because it is close to where I live, but I would drive much further for the experience I had at MOD today! read more

I've recently taken a couple of classes at Mod Fit through ClassPass and wow, what an incredible workout! Friendly environment, amazing instructors (especially Julia she kicks your ass in the best way possible), and the cutest locations. I will definitely be coming back as often as possible. read more

I started going to Mod Fitness after I purchased Classpass. The receptionist and instructors are very welcoming. They showed me around the studio before the start of class and made sure I knew where everything was. The studio is very cute and clean! The workout is a burner! I've been there about 5 times and I've seen a difference in my arms and legs already. I can't wait for my next class! read more

First time going and I loved the ambience of the studio (very trendy and modern). Happy and friendly staff. Sometimes at these kind of studios the instructors are stuck up but I was kindly welcomed! Very intense workout but definitely doable. I plan on going regularly. read more

Mod Fitness is such a beautiful studio and very inviting. I have classpass and so I want to try a lot of different studios because I choose the one to commit to. I took the barre class with Stephanie as the instructor. She was amazing. Of course, she is in great shape, but also teaches the class very well. I highly recommend trying a barre class. It will kill and make you shake but totally worth it. Can't wait to see the results! read more

Love this barre studio!! Burnet location is very pretty and nice. Parking options are limited, but there's street parking. Equipment is new and well maintained. Instructors are generally fantastic. My only complaints are (1) not enough weekend class options and (2) the instructors have to use preprogrammed mixes/playlists so the routine doesn't always follow the beat or flow of the music. Please let the instructors pick their own music! read more

By far the BEST Barre Class in Austin. The teachers are so friendly, the classes are challenging without feeling impossible, and the studio is a cute as can be. My one small qualm would be the parking situation but give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot, you will not be disappointed with this workout. read more
