Absolutely Brilliant Barre!!! Bay Wreath co. has the most…read moreeffective barre workout I have tried. I was lucky enough to find Erika and Bay Wreath co a couple of years ago after moving to San Diego. As a certified barre instructor , I am quite picky about technique, efficacy, and presentation. Erika has perfected all three with the Bay Wreath technique! The workout harnesses the shake of the isometric movements, perfects the use of the pelvic tuck while reminding us to "bring beauty "to our workout. The boutique studio has an elegant, minimalist palette with Erika and Leanne always creating an inviting , supportive atmosphere. Without exaggeration, Bay Wreath co. has the very best barre workout and has, more than any other technique, enriched my own barre practice and mind body connection. Thank you Erika! Thank you Leanne!

I patiently waited a whole year to write my review because from the moment I walked into this…read morestudio, I had a feeling I was going to love it & I did! This is a women owned business & I cannot be more proud of Erika & Leeann for doing what they do, what they've accomplished, & what is yet to come! This studio isn't your typical Barre studio, they really do teach more than just Barre, but also connecting to your mind, body, & soul. I love the fact this studio is not a chain, which makes it more special because it locally owned & their technique is impressive! I noticed there is never more than 10 people in the class, which is a plus! The instructors are able to concentrate on helping everyone with their forms & it becomes more personal compared going to a chain. I love the fact that every class/workout is different! The esthetics of the studio is what makes it different as well. Everything from the scents to décor, it gives a good energy & it literally doesn't make you feel like you're at a typical gym or workout space. All the women who work in the studio really do put in all their efforts to make everyone special & feel so welcomed. Try a class & you won't regret it!

Honestly one of the best classes I've taken in a long time!

She was warm and welcoming and it showed throughout how she treated everyone in the class. Her flow was great, she had us matched to the beat and she touched on all the muscle groups. Really liked the studio as well! It's small but it's cute.

Bought a two-week pass after a good intro class and brought a friend along. Friday was my first…read moreclass as a paying member -- I arrived ten minutes late after an hour of driving from summer camp dropoff with unexpected traffic, and was turned away at the door. Apparently, grace is only extended for five minutes. The owner explained why. First, safety: I'd missed the warm-up. (During my intro class, her receptionist joined about ten minutes late. So much for that.) Second, and more telling -- if she let me in, what would the other clients think? They'd think lateness was acceptable. The optics mattered more than the paying member standing in front of her In tears. Third, the policy was in an email I admittedly hadn't read closely. I was new- it was my first class as a member, so I truly didn't know or I wouldn't have driven the extra 30 minutes. All it would have taken: "Come in, warm up on your own and take it slow. For next time, we have a five-minute grace period." Rule intact, member retained. Instead I was sent home, and when I asked to refund the pass I hadn't used for a single class, I was told no -- she provides a service and I pay for it. Rigid, and not interested in the people paying to be there or in having empathy for real life situations.

Barre3 North Park is my happy place!…read more I've been a longtime Barre3 fan--originally a member at the La Jolla/UTC location before it sadly closed during the pandemic. I took a break to try other studios, but nothing quite compared. When I moved to Downtown San Diego about 3.5 years ago and discovered the North Park studio, I knew I had to give it a shot. I started taking classes again through ClassPass and was immediately reminded why I loved Barre3 so much--the workouts are still challenging, empowering, and incredibly well-rounded. I officially rejoined as a member during a New Year's special in early 2023, and as of today, I've completed 294 classes! What I love most is the variety: Signature for a balanced, full-body burn Strength for more resistance-focused training Mindful Flow when I need a yoga-inspired reset Every instructor is genuinely kind, welcoming, and so good at what they do. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned regular, you'll feel supported and challenged in the best way. Parking can be a little tricky--you'll need to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood or pay $5 to use the nearby parking structure. Avoid Thursdays if you can, because the Farmer's Market makes parking a bit of a mission. Salina, the owner, is fantastic. She recently acquired the Studio Barre in Mission Hills (soon to be another Barre3!), and I've just switched my membership to that location since it's closer to me and has easier parking--but North Park will always hold a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a consistent, encouraging, and fun workout that meets you where you're at, Barre3 is it. I'm proud to be a part of this community and plan to stick with it for years to come!

This barre studio is one of the best things to have ever happened to me. I'm in my 30's and I've…read morefinally found a form of exercise that I *genuinely* enjoy AND *look forward to*! The variety of classes are great and offer an opportunity to try strength building, cardio, and yoga. The signature class is one of my favorites, allowing for muscle building and cardio bursts, all while remaining low-impact. After 1+ years of consistent classes, I feel the STRONGEST I've ever felt. I was a regular athlete all through highschool and into college and would deal with frequent injuries. Barre3 is the first time I've felt like I can grow at a sustainable rate without risk of injury. Each class also ends with a breathwork session and this has easily been one of my new favorite routines. I now regularly incorporate breath work into my personal life outside of Barre3 and it's been such a nice mental health technique to keep in my back pocket. However, it's the instructors that are the true standout here. They are all SO welcoming, kind, genuine, and have THE best positive energy. I remember being welcomed and guided through my first class so kindly, and I've watched them all welcome other newbies hundreds of times since. They keep it real and give space to the hard parts of daily life and the outside world; but as soon as everyone crosses into the studio - it's time to let that go and it is SO cathartic. It's impossible to leave this studio without being in a better mood than how you arrived - even on the happy days! We're moving to North County and this Barre3 studio will easily be one of the parts I miss most about North Park! All of the Barre team and all of the regulars are such a happy, joyful part of my day and if you're considering this studio - I hope you'll say yes so that you can have this positivity and strength in your life too!

I have been going to Pure Barre since 2015. I was in town visiting a friend and wanted to make sure…read moreI could workout. I remember several years ago, they had better discounted rates for people who had memberships out of town. Now, it costs $30 per class or $99 for a week, which in my opinion is ridiculous when you're already spending almost $200 for unlimited in your hometown. Nevertheless, my friend and I called and booked and were able to get the first class free. Their sock stock was very low. I was hoping to find some of the cute summer designs. But I will keep looking. The class also started 10 min late because the previous class ran over. This one also went a full song longer than what the classes normally do.

Some of my favorite yoga teachers in San Diego gift their voice within, and offer YTT programs to grow the next generation of spirit builders. Returning after a break during the onset of Covid has rekindled much yogic joy in my mind & body. Spirit has adapted well to the needs of the community with safety measures that still allow for a healthy & enjoyable practice. Lately I've been relishing the 330pm Tuesday/Thursday classes with Sarah Mondet. A $5 community class, the 330pm timeslots are often given to newly minted yoga teachers honing their flows, pace, and playlists. Sarah's class has been an absolute joy, due to both her burgeoning powers as a teacher and also an inner light that cannot help but shine through to studio's practitioners. She's a fantastic testament to the Spirit YTT program and I look forward to every class (especially as a break while remote working!). I can't wait for more of her flows and to revisit some of San Diego's best teachers at the studio in the weeks ahead. Go grab a mat and make your way to Spirit!

Don't forget your yoga mat, but in case you do, they have some you can borrow that get sanitized between uses. Careful what you bring into the actual yoga studio if you don't want the puppies chewing it. They chewed my slides and my water bottle, but it didn't bother me. If you have stuff, there are some little cubby spaces available. It wasn't super hard to find parking; it took us maybe 5 minutes to park (street parking) and then we walked about 2 blocks. The class was totally worth it and you get the opportunity to adopt puppies if you like!

TLDR: lack of space, not a lot of classical Pilates moves baked in, deafening music…read more I think it's just ok. Didn't feel like much Pilates besides the side laying series, felt more like a HIIT boot camp. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it gets really packed inside. I think that might also explain why instructors aren't hands on with modifications -- it's just too crowded to fit in between people. The person to my left got their nasty a$$ foot sweat on me when we were all doing supine twist and did not give a damn. Music was obnoxiously loud, my ears were ringing after class. Instructor was sweet but noticed there weren't many modifications, lol the "NO ONE DROPS!!" cues don't really help someone doing a modified plank! Doesn't compare at all to Flexcore down the street. The eucalyptus towel was the saving grace, but personally, I wouldn't come back here again. At Flexcore, they give out towels while you're stretching so you don't have to swim in a crowd of people after.

It's a bit far from me, but I'd totally make my way back (:
