Barre Elements

I have been a member since Barre Elements opened, after trying out a few classes on a week pass. Within a few months of going just several times a week, my friends started commenting on my weight loss, etc. I did not lose any weight (not much really) but rather, for the first time my body started to tone and strengthen. This immediately improved my running and running times, and other activities. The classes are always changing up, as the owner, Leyn, has many years of experience and she keeps the material (and music) fresh. Bridgette is also an excellent teacher, herself an accomplished dancer. And no, you do not need to know a single step of ballet to participate — I have two left feet! Try a class if you’re looking for something different, challenging and rewarding — and fun!

My one year anniversary is coming up at Barre Elements…15 days and counting!
I don’t even know where to start. This place is AMAZING. The place is super clean and welcoming, the classes are fun, and the girls taking the classes are friendly. But what makes this studio stand out are the teachers– they are professional yet fun, and really do their job of teaching unlike some other places I have been to. They demonstrate the exercises well before we do them as a group, correct you if you are doing it wrong, ect… it’s like having a 1 – 1 private class.
I’ve always been a runner and loved high impact and high intensity sports/​classes. I used to do bootcamp, kickboxing, Plyo, ect… until my right knee started bothering me and I had to spend $ 1,000 between doctor’s appointment, X-​rays and physical therapy. Not fun.
Barre Elements changed my life. I am now in better shape than when I used to do those crazy workouts, my knee doesn’t bother me and I am more flexible! I have muscles in places I never had in my life. Low impact class, intense and really effective. Win-​win all around.
Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend this place. I would give it a 10 star if I could.

After 40 minutes of a BE Barre class I had to leave. This was my first barre class and the instructor, Gradiva, was phenomenal.
However there was a small dog running in and out of the studio: Chewing on pens (thankfully another student took this from him), licking on someone’s water bottle, sitting on another’s towel. And when he finally made his way to my mat I was just fed up. I couldn’t concentrate on the exercise nor could I believe that someone’s dog is laying on my mat. I shooed him away a couple of times and my discomfort was noticed. Nothing was done. Finally after he tried to sit where my head was on the mat, I just left.
I was asked what was wrong and when I explained how the dog was in and out and disrupting my workout the attitude of one of the front desk members turned to flippant.
Her — «I’m sorry you don’t like dogs. No one ever complains so if you had a problem you should’ve said something and we could’ve closed the door. «
Me — «It’s not that I don’t like dogs. I have 4 at home. I’m not bringing all four to work and run all over. It’s just not professional»
Her — «Well we can bring our dog to work what can I say»
Look I’m okay with bringing your pets to work as long as it’s not disturbing others. If he was in the lobby /​waiting area only he would be a refreshing welcome (he’s actually quite cute). But allowing him to run around and be in the studio is unprofessional and not the cleanliness practice. I signed up for a Barre class — not to play with a puppy.
If they were to have a policy which kept the dog out of the studio (versus the suggested me asking every time to not bring the dog in) then I would definitely come back. Like I said at first, I was enjoying the little time I could focus on Barre practice.
Until then I guess I’m on the hunt for a convenient barre class. Bagh!

This studio changed my life, I never ever was a fan of physical activity and all of a sudden I’m coming 4 times a week. I’m finally back to were I was in my early 20s, i feel great and my body reflects the attention I’m now giving in. Barre has also really opened my eyes to Ballet, it’s such a beautiful language that your able to express with your body. I’m so grateful for barre elements and all the wonderful teachers. They are each perfect in their own way!!! Love love love barre ELEMENTS!!!

Great classes, not great staff
I came in and took a Be Barre class which was great. Unfortunately, it had been a while since I had done any ballet or barre work, and I sprained my knee pretty badly.
I purchased a 3 for $ 50 package on my first day, and called when I realized that it would be a week or so before I could return. No one answered, so I sent an email using the studio’s website form (didn’t find the email quickly on the site).
I never got a reply — nor did I receive a card or very much information the day I signed up. When I came back in (which I had been itching to do), I was told that my classes had expired and they could do nothing because I had not reached out to let them know there was a problem (otherwise they would have extended it). I showed the call record and nothing. Since I had no record of the email (as it was sent using their website contact form so I did not have a copy), they basically did not believe me nor could they find any record of it.
I tried to reason and ask that I be allowed to use one more class and I’d agree to purchase another card and lose the 3^rd class, especially since no one shared what the expiration details were upon purchase. «Sorry there’s nothing we can do,» was the response.
I left at that point because I could a) not bear to pay $ 50 for one 1-​hr class and b) even when I showed proof of my attempted call, they still would not offer any consideration, even when I offered to forfeit the 3^rd class.
I can’t understand how losing a customer forever over roughly $ 25 (the value of 2 classes) is more valuable than at least trying to work something out, especially when I was ready to purchase future classes.

I really like the class and the energy of the teacher and owner of the studio. The music she played for the class was also great and gave me motivation for the hard work out. The excercises were really good to get fit but not big. Great for women.

Had the pleasure of taking a Barre class today.
I’ve been working out for a few years now, and had great resistance. I am once again getting into a routine after having a second child, and boy am I out of shape! The class totally kicked my butt (in a good way).
This was my first time taking a barre class, and I must say, though it looks easy, it is a fantastic work out. I know I will be feeling the pain tomorrow, heck, I am already feeling it today!
Leyn (owner and teacher) was very welcoming and polite. She kept things fun! which is essential during such this type of workout.
Though this location is far from me, I plan to return a few times a month, just to change up my routine.

This is such a great studio! I have taken two classes here and love the teachers and the atmosphere. The classes are challenging, and you definitely get a great workout. Its a very friendly and fun atmosphere, and totally not intimidating. A great, fun, comfortable place to workout. I highly recommend it!

I started with a groupon 8 months ago and haven’t been able to stop! I noticed a change in my body after just a month and a half of classes 4 times a week. Leyn the studio owner and instructor takes the extra time and effort to get to know all the students on a personal level which does not go unnoticed. The staff is very welcoming creating a comfortable environment where everyone feels right at home. I’ve tried most classes offered, don’t be fooled by looks. They might not be high intensity but you get a serious work out! Ps. Morning classes with Dania are full body, killer and so worth it!

I have been taking Barre classes in this studio for 2 months and I have seen changes on my body. The teachers are knowledgeable, have their own style, giving a different type of workout every time you visit the studio. It is great workout for your body and mind.

New barre studio in my backyard. All staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Left feeling sore in all the right ways
