Elevate is the fourth iteration of a barre class I've tried (go ClassPass!). I liked the format of…read morethis class definitely over Pure Barre. There was more stretching in between working the various body parts. Ultimately, that's more effective because it does give the muscles a much leaner look. I'm not sure if the music theme was intentional, but playing a remix of Bootylicious during the booty segment cracked me up. If it was intentional, then extra points! I particularly appreciated working the side glutes. The "dancer dents", as Ginny called them, are the part I'm most interested in smoothing out. The only other time I encountered this particular exercise was at Exhale. If this is a staple in class, that's even more incentive to go. Personally, Brianna's 6a class at Pink Barre Buckhead is my favorite barre class. However, since it's wildly inconvenient now, Elevate has taken the coveted top spot in my barre class list. Oh and there's a disco ball.

I appreciated the individual attention, direction, and options for modifications that she gave to not just the in-studio students but those livestreaming. She made the class as fun (good music!) as it was challenging. The pace was also exactly right - some studios I go to up North rush through moves but even in the express class, every move had a purpose and there was just the right amount of water and stretch moments. Facilities are clean, spacious, and welcoming. There are lockers and changing room etc., and cute swag for purchase too. Highly recommend if you live in area or are passing through.

I love getting my shake on with these gorgeous people! *disclaimer: like with any work out program, if you do all this work and go home and eat birthday cake everyday... It's not going to work. With a proper diet, not go on a diet, but maintaining healthy eating habits, this will help you get stronger and you'll feel fabulous.

I signed up for pure barre as part of one pass and visit this studio since it's the closest. There…read moreis plenty of parking in the front of the studio and it's located near the Fresh Market. There's a cubby to store your belongings and shoes before heading inside the studio. So far I've taken the classic with Courtney and the define class with Lori. The classic class is a more traditional barre class focusing on those movements while the define class focuses more on building strength and uses dumbbells. Both instructors are great since they make sure your form is correct and spend time demonstrating the exercises. I've taken barre before at Lifetime, but I've really been liking the formats here much more. If you are new, make sure to stick closer to the front so you can see yourself in the mirror. Also, don't forget to bring your water bottle, towel and grippy socks!

Joel's Vitality Blast (slow motion training) have been some of the best workouts of my life. It's a…read moretotal body workout that requires 30 minutes, once or twice a week to feel an enormous difference. Using special machines, you have a certain weight that involves slow negative and positive motions for 2-3 minutes. It activates muscles you didn't know existed. Much different than just throwing a ton of weight on the bench press and knocking out a few reps, which has a purpose, but is accomplishing something very different. This gets down to the nitty gritty. I highly recommend it as a complement to your workout. I've known Joel for a long time, and he's one of the most positive and knowledgable men in the field. The atmosphere is calm and focused. It helps you get in the zone. Many people attend obviously for the Pilates expertise and other classes. With the extent of their knowledge the sky is the limit. You can workout without a fear of plateauing. Ever. Definitely take advantage of this studio and incorporate it into your routine

My partner and I discovered Lift when we were coming out of 18 months of Covid restrictions and…read moreneeding a way to get back to healthy habits, exercise, and stress reduction. I found the studio online and of all the studios I looked at, it had the most variety of classes at times that worked for us (after regular working hours and on weekends). We signed up for the initial $20 unlimited 2 weeks pass and crammed in as many classes as we could over that time. Every class we took and every instructor we worked with was fantastic. I did 2 of the video classes as well. Everyone was kind and welcoming. And we loved that every single class and instructor reinforced that everyone's yoga practice is individual and we should feel free to modify as needed and ask for help when needed. We have since purchased multiple of the 30 class packs but I think we'll switch to the monthly rate as soon as we've used all of our classes. We look forward to the 2-3 classes a week we attend; they've become so much a part of our weekly routine that everything feels "off" if we miss one! The fact that Lift has now added a John's Creek location is even better for us, since we split time between my home in Alpharetta and my partner's house in John's Creek - so wherever we are, we can find a class time and location that works. Final note: I can only assume the handful of people giving 1-star reviews and complaining about the studio being "activist" and "political" are anti-maker folks who bristled at being asked to wear a mask and social distance inside the studio. We gladly wore our masks for the first several months we attended and continue to distance while inside the studio when requested. Yoga is not a-political. The very essence of yoga requires truth, justice, peace, and learning - and yes, activism. Anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't understand yoga.

I use ClassPass so booking a class is always super easy. The environment is clean. They offer water bottles if you forget to bring your own. They provide mats, weights, and whatever else you may need for the class. I would recommend this studio for sure.

Barre3 focus more on cardio and balance, the class will make you sweat and stronger the more you go.
