I love this space. I've finally found a place post-partum that works for me. The energy is amazing, the instructors are amazing.

the owner and all of the instructors I've had at OpenBarre have all been phenomenal. I find OpenBarre more affordable than some of the other local fitness classes. this was my first introduction to barre and the varying classes are tons of fun. it definitely helps build strength in different muscle groups. you can take your first class for $5, I would definitely recommend it. read more

The instructors are super supportive and offer variations on all movements. It's hard but so worth it. Parking is paid in the lot but free on Sunday (though there is a garage nearby that's free after 5 nearby!). read more

I love OpenBarre! All of the classes and instructors are amazing. Highly reccomended trying it out!

OpenBarre provides a workout that is so different from things I've done before, in the best way possible! I love the focus on each muscle group in every class, the focus on small movement that BURN, and the ability the modify up or down to make the most of the workout depending on how I'm feeling each day. Plus, it's always nice to show up and have an instructor guide you through a workout instead of having to figure it out yourself, especially at 6AM! read more

I've been coming to classes at OpenBarre for over a year now, and I look forward to every class I take! The studio feels so welcoming and inclusive, from the space to the instructors to the other students. I had never taken a barre class before coming here, and now I've taken over 100. The class schedule is really great, with a good mix of early morning, mid-morning, lunchtime, early evening, and late evening classes, and it changes every quarter, which provides a good mix of consistency and adaptability. read more

I am loving my workouts at Open Barre in College Park. Ive always been a little intimidated by Barre classes and have no dancing background so I was hesitant at first but oh my goodness am I happy I came! The teachers are really great , the environment is really supportive and I've been consistently impressed by how smoothly everything runs. Lauren, you've done an incredible job making this studio something really special. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I love Open Barre. The classes are great and the studio is so welcoming! Its such a warm community and it's been awesome to see how much stronger I get month after month!! read more

I had never tried barre before coming to openBarre Studios. So, I was excited to find that the instructors and classmates were welcoming and kind. The environment is great for both newbies and the sculpted barre professional. They have a variety of class times to accommodate most schedules, from as early as 6 am to as late as 8 pm. The classes are challenging, but the instructors provide modifications for different strength levels. I have been attending classes at least twice a week for the last 6 weeks and definitely feel stronger. I recommend this studio. read more

Openbarre is warm and wonderful. As a mom who is getting back to taking care of me, I find the classes to be exactly what I was looking for. The teachers are kind, offer modifications, and it's honestly just a great workout! read more

I love OpenBarre! I've been taking classes regularly for over 6 months and I've enjoyed them all. The schedule changes seasonally and each of the instructors has their own style so it keeps classes very interesting. The workouts can be modified for more/less challenge and I feel like I get a good, balanced workout at each class. The instructors and other attendees make the studio a very welcoming place. read more

OpenBarre is an awesome local studio in a rapidly changing College Park. I love this studio because of how inclusive it is. The instructors cater to all levels and always provide modifications to make it harder to easier. The instructors are all very helpful and have stayed a few minutes after class to help my technique. The workouts are always different and use a variety of bands, gliders, sticks, and weights to make the workouts fun and interesting. My favorite thing about it is that despite getting a tough workout, it's easy on your joints because there is no jumping. I have always had joint pain doing other workouts, but it's been nonexistent in the few months I've been going to classes here. read more

I have been so happy to have had OpenBarre in my life over the last four (?!?) years. The teachers are wonderful, patient, welcoming, and dedicated to ensuring you get a great workout. There's a good variety of class types and times to fit your preferences and schedule. Plus the people who come here and work here are so nice. Pandemic protocols are A+, distancing, masks, proof of full vaccination required, sanitizing wipes, air purifier and windows for fresh air. Outdoor classes as well. If you're considering trying this studio, DO IT!! read more

Barre has been the best thing to ever happen to my exercise life. By way of background, I should say that I've always been an active person. Historically, I've done Pilates off and on in addition to pretty consistent endurance running. But running ~30 miles/week for years eventually started to get boring and stagnant. Enter OpenBarre. From my very first email exchange inquiring about classes, Lauren (the studio owner and my favorite instructor), has been extremely friendly, encouraging, and welcoming. She answered all of my questions and assured me that barre would be a serious workout. And after my first class at the studio, I was hooked! I've worked muscles that running just couldn't get--and I love that there's also a strong Pilates component to it, too. It truly is a combo of ballet, Pilates, and yoga--and it's HARD. Which means that each and every time you leave, you know you got a good workout. As someone who has done mainly cardio over my life, I also love that the studio offers cardio barre classes (these take it up a notch and I'm inevitably sore for a day or two, which is great). I feel just as, if not more, fit now compared to when I was covering all of those miles each week. Two thumbs up for OpenBarre! read more

I have been going to Open Barre since the summer and have enjoyed my time. All of the instructors are welcoming and helpful. No prior experience necessary, you will see the benefits if you put in the work! read more

Open Barre is a small, clean studio in College Park, MD. These barre classes are pretty classic barre classe compared to other similar ones. I love the studio's cleanliness and the price is reasonable. The quality of the classes you get depends on the instructor. For example, I love taking classes with Lauren, Anna, and Annie W. Some instructors are newer and do things a little bit differently, which can throw people off. (I do wish that the class structure was a little more aligned between the instructors). They also have a lot of outreach events, themed events, and fun things you can participate in, which are nice. Overall, I would recommend these classes and this studio for sure! My only pain point would be that they sometimes do not have enough classes during the weekends/evenings - when I can take more classes. read more

Do yourself a favor and visit OpenBarre Studios. Warm and welcoming, it's a place where you can improve your strength, flexibility and fitness no matter where you're starting from. The instructors are enthusiastic and helpful. You'll thank yourself for making your life better. read more

I am an avid lifter and have found that Barre workouts are a great compliment to balance my weight lifting routine, especially with the flexibility gains! This place is fantastic as is the staff, Lauren is a great instructor and thoroughly enjoy my workouts with her! Highly recommend to anyone of any fitness level, you will be pleased with the results both physically and mentally! read more

Open Barre is fantastic!! I started as a beginner to barre, and was hooked right away. Classes are small enough to be personable and supportive of your individual needs. The instructors are encouraging, provide modifications, and fun classes! There are different types of classes and a variety of components within each, so there is plenty of variety. Because of barre class, I have been feeling so much more energized and healthy overall. I highly recommend! read more

OpenBarre Studio has been transformative for me. In the 6 months I've been going, I've gotten stronger, improved my balance, developed flexibility, and generally just feel better about my body! Things that used to hurt, don't any more. The instructors are great at providing challenges and support/modifications when needed and I love that every classes provides something new. This has been a fantastic addition to my life and routine. read more

Open Barre has absolutely been my happy place since I've started going there in spring 2019. And during the COVID-19 closures and restrictions, Lauren and the team have provided super great and safe programming! Their online classes--both pre-taped and live--let you fit in fun workouts with awesome instructors around the work from home grind. And their super-safe small outdoor classes have been a relief from being otherwise isolated. Getting to see and talk to some friends while working out is the best. I feel so grateful to have them all the time, and especially now! read more

I am a newbie...didn't know what Barre was. Just knew that it was an exercise class. I've been looking for something new to try out as a work out and I found OpenBarre browsing through Groupon. I looked more into it and it took me a few weeks to finally go! I was emailing Lauren, the owner, trying to get a sense of what I needed and if I needed to know or bring anything prior. She was extremely helpful with any and all questions I had. I work near the College Park Metro so this was a great location for me to go right after work. I was in need of a place that would help me mentally release and be at peace as well as get me in better shape and stronger -- and OpenBarre has really met those needs! I enjoy the classes-- they can get pretty challenging for me (esp the leg and abs workout) but you feel really good after! I found muscles that I didn't know existed!! All the instructors I've had so far are very welcoming and nice. They have a smile on their face and are helpful. They don't embarrass you if you need help or need to adjust you. That's important for a newbie. The classes are also not crowded and signing up for classes online are easy. There is also a variety of different classes and they offer a variety of times (esp evening times). The studio rooms are clean and bright. They have jug of water and some disposable cups if needed. There are open cubbies to put your stuff in and a small seat ottoman in the lobby area. They lock the doors when class has started for safety. Also they have merchandise for sale (sticky socks, tanks, and bag, etc.) I might have to grab something! If you are driving to OpenBarre, just know to bring some coins for parking. There are also a lot of restaurants nearby. Don't be intimated by Barre! It will work you out no matter your level of experience! Think of being in a ballet studio (barre and mirror) and getting a total body work out! You'll be working out muscles using your own weight, stretching, minor movements, weights, ball, and a mat. I sweat, every.class. read more

I wanted to update my rating to review OpenBarres new online classes. You can sign up for a free three days to test them out but they're such an amazing deal. They even offer live classes so you can still feel like you're a part of a community. You don't need anything to do them at home. I'm so grateful that they started these online workouts to keep me moving and motivated during quarantine. read more

I am so happy that there is finally a barre studio in this area. It is a great workout, in a clean studio, with a supportive community. All classes are challenging and easy to modify for all levels. I have been taking classes since my second trimester of pregnancy and am currently almost 9 months along and still going. I highly recommend anyone take a class here. You will be immediately hooked! read more

This is the studio that first got me into barre and it will forever hold a special place in my heart for that! Lauren is an amazing teacher and an inspiration, and all the teachers here are wonderful as well. I appreciate the variety of classes offered so you can choose what kind of workout you want, and the welcoming environment. Even though I moved away from CP I still think about Open Barre and wish i could come more often. If you're lucky enough to live nearby, I'm telling you- go here! read more

Just updating to note that the schedule has expanded a LOT since I wrote the original review. The studio is on summer schedule now but there are still more classes than there are excuses not to go. read more

The best workout class! Super motivating and fun, with great instructors. Makes working out fun!

I love OpenBarre studios. The instructors are all wonderful. The owner Lauren fosters a great community and a challenging workout. Highly recommend. It's a blast. read more

OpenBarre College Park is one of the best fitness studios I have attended. I came in with absolutely no experience with Barre workouts, but quickly grew to love it. Lauren and her team are so well versed in Barre and are welcoming and friendly. They make you feel comfortable and provide modifications throughout. I came once and never left. read more

I love this barre! Lauren is always upbeat and friendly and definitely works you hard. She is constantly working with you to make sure body position is correct so you get the best workout while also keeping you safe from injury. I started coming to Open Barre in September (after having a baby) and I have lost all my baby weight, gotten stronger than ever, improved my posture, and significantly reduced my lower back pain (thanks to a stronger core). Can't recommend barre and this studio enough! read more

I had taken barre classes for a couple of years before moving to College Park and was pleasantly surprised to find this wonderful studio in town! It has an extremely welcoming, comfortable environment and the instructors are all incredibly personable and knowledgeable. The owner, Lauren, is so sweet and she is great at mixing things up and keeping classes fun, yet challenging! I would recommend this studio to anyone at any level of Barre experience, including newcomers! read more

I have been attending a class here and there since it opened. I wish I had more time to go everyday but I can blame a 10-month old baby for that!!! After every class you feel good and worked those muscles that running or cardio can't. No prior "barre" experience needed to attend a class. The Staff is SUPER friendly and the classes are a mix of EVERY age. I have never been to a class where I didn't feel comfortable. You also have a wide variety of times to choice from. Morning, Lunch, Evenings, weekends!!! They always have a few deals to get you started with the classes! read more

I have been coming here for over 2 years and I am continually challenged and supported no matter how fit I'm feeling on a particular day. The instructors are incredibly supportive and fun. A great, local, small business to support!!! read more

This place is so open and welcoming to people of all fitness levels and ages! I began coming here having not worked out for 3 years after the birth of my child. The instructors are encouraging and provide modifications to moves if you're not up for the full activity on that day. If you stop and rest for a bit, the instructors don't call you out and no one else in the studio even notices. OpenBarre has made me more flexible and stronger and I always leave the classes feeling like I got a great workout and feeling like I pushed myself as hard as I could that day. And, I love that there are so many different types of classes! It's always possible for me to find something that interests me. read more

I've been going to OpenBarre since September 2017, and it's truly been the first gym experience that I've ever enjoyed. Between OpenBarre once or twice per week and a strict diet, I've become much more toned and lost 15 lbs just in time for my wedding! Lauren, the owner, makes sure to get to know each of her clients. She and the other instructors make the classes super enjoyable and understand that everyone is at different levels (they offer modifications to most of the moves). I enjoy that most of the classes focus on glutes/thighs, abs, and arms to get a full body workout. They go by so quickly! I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you're a beginner, like me! read more

I've been a regular client since July 2017 and have seen such positive changes! The instructors at OpenBarre work with each client during class for optimum strengthening, toning and sculpting. I'm hooked! read more
