First class free!!! I live down south, but I was desperate to introduce my old friend, who lives in north county, to Studio Barre. I’ve been to both Studio Barre Bird Rock and Studio Barre Mission Hills, and both places are awesome. Therefore, I was so looking forward to meeting my friend and doing barre workouts (to get our thighs & legs killed) together LOL…
As usual, just like couple other Studio Barre places, this location is very clean & welcoming, and the employees are very friendly as well. The instructor (Shawna) tried to know our names prior to starting the class. However, I believe this is the culture of every Studio Barre, where every instructor is always eager to memorize the names of all the participants. The class size wasn’t that big (less than 10 people) and it was very advantageous to me and especially my friend. Shawna went around the class and kept making corrections continually, which was great so that we could avoid any possible injury.
I’m not giving credit only to Shawna, but to Studio Barre as a whole. I’ve been to another barre place, but Studio Barre is much more preferred & lovable to me, particularly because of the friendliness of each staff & instructor, where at another barre place, some staffs work like robots and don’t care much to get to know us. My friend felt that the workout was very intense, yet she liked it and said that she would highly likely come back. Sorry Encinitas that you are very far from my home, but I hope you don’t mind me regularly visiting other Studio Barre locations that are closer from my home :-)

Studio Barre is the most effective workout I have tried by far, and what keeps me coming back even more so are the positive and encouraging instructors, fun music and community atmosphere. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging, serious workout that simultaneously keeps a smile on your face!

I found Studio Barre after an ACL injury I received snow skiing. Up to this point I had done tons of running, weights you name it. What I have discovered with Studio Barre is a super challenging work out that gets the best results I have ever had. It hits every part of your body, with an intensity that actually changes it. The music is great, instructors will become your friends, guaranteed, as will the others you work out with.
Stop wondering what will work and come join us in what does!

Love Studio Barre and the instructors are awesome. They have someone to match your personality and it’s easy to get into a routine with them. I go 1−2x/week as a supplement to my gym routine and can really tell the difference. Erin and Meredith are my favs but that of course is just me as every instructor I’ve taken a class from is legit.

Studio Barre Encinitas is the only place I’ve found that isn’t just a great workout every single time but you’re greeted and welcomed like family when you’re there too. The kids care option is also a life saver and provides me no excuse not to get in my own workout. My (almost 2 yr old) loves it, and has fun in their play room. The challenging 60 min workouts that go by so quick, are well designed and executed to make you want to go back for more because you feel so good when you’re done. Love this place.

Once you try Studio Barre you’ll never go anywhere else! My butt and abs are tougher and stronger than they’ve ever been, and I’m three kids in! My whole life I’ve had a «thutt», and Studio Barre totally solved that problem. Also, my legs are crazy strong, and last year I was not only able to keep up with my husband when we were skiing, but I passed him a couple times! After 15 years of marriage, it’s nice to shock him once in a while! And if I haven’t convinced you yet, the instructors are amazing! They are these beautiful drill sargeants that inspire you push yourself a little more than you thought you could. And, one more thing, the boutique in the lobby has the best work out wear, jewelry, headbands, etc. Shopping made easy! There are monthly class specials and the customer service is awesome. You will not regret giving Studio Barre a try!

Studio Barre is not only an amazing exercise program that targets all of the areas specific to a women’s body, but it is a fun community to be a part of. They have fun events, the instructors are amazing, and even though the workout is painfully good, it is really the people and environment that keep you coming back (even if you can barely go up your stairs the next day).

I have been taking 3 – 4 classes a week at Studio Barre for about 4 years now. I feel like barre class really compliments my running and helps strengthen my core (hello abs!) and has given me a rounded booty. When I ran 6 days a week I had a flat booty and I wasn’t doing any core work on my own. My running friends have been commenting on how lean and trim I look and I credit it to the fact that I have been trying to go to barre class 4 times a week.
They recently made the move from the La Costa area of Carlsbad to Encinitas. The old studio was located less than 2 miles from my house and the new studio is now located 5 miles and 16 traffic lights away. I grumbled about the move but I love them so much that I followed them to the new studio even though there are several barre studios within a couple miles of my house. I consider the instructors, staff, and clients friends so I couldn’t bear to not see any of them anymore. The new studio is darling and there is plenty of parking.
Price-​wise I think their pricing is consistent with other barre studios. Every month they run a special so you can pick up class packages at a discount. Classes never expire so you can «stock up» whenever they are having a good deal. I am so in love with Studio Barre that I have an annual unlimited membership so I can go whenever I want. My husband complains about the cost every year when I buy the package but he seems to like the results just fine!
I think women of any age can benefit and see results from barre. I am in my late 40’s and feel like Studio Barre does a great job at keeping things «high and tight». I also think Studio Barre is a more vigorous workout then some of the other barre studios I have tried. I always leave drenched in sweat like I gave it my all and then some. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. You might be sore but you won’t be disappointed.

Studio Barre is amazing!!! My friend introduced me to it a little over a year ago and I am completely hooked!!! The instructors are all amazing, friendly, patient and helpful. I have never enjoyed working out so much! The music is very upbeat and fun. The results are absolutely incredible, my stomach, thighs and butt have never been so toned, not even when I was in my 20’s –which was long ago :)
Don’t worry if you’re new, I had never done Barre, and believe me, I’m not the most coordinated person– As a matter of fact, I would usually just workout alone because I found classes to be really intimidating, but with the help of the instructors and a little persistence– I got the hang of it-​and trust me, if I can get the hang of it anyone can. ;)
So, if you’re looking for a really great, unique and fun (but tough) workout I highly recommend giving Studio Barre a try.

Studio Barre has become a pivotal part of my weekly workout routine. I not only go there for an awesome head to toe workout, but I also go there for the amazing community of supportive women. The staff is always friendly, accommodating and the instructors will kick your butt all while making you laugh and smile. I finished the first class and told myself I wasn’t coming back, (It’s hard!) but here I am almost 500 classes in and I still love it!

Studio Barre is by far the best workout I have discovered! The barre tenders are always spot on, making sure you get the most out of your workout! The minute you walk into the studio you can feel the positive energy. They also have an amazing boutique with fantastic merchandise! It’s not an easy workout but so worth it… the results will keep you coming back… I know I do!!!

I have been attending studio barre Encinitas classes for about a month now, and I am so impressed! This is hands down the best challenging, low impact, full body workout. They have unbelievably convenient hours in a beautiful location. Studio barre Encinitas has small classes with great instructors who motivate and give each student personal attention. Kudos go out to Kimm, Meredith, Erin, Marissa, Kris, and Heidi!
Plus the boutique sells cute and functional workout clothes. Lastly and most importantly, studio barre Encinitas is reasonably priced that offers special deals at least once a month!

This place is so wonderful! The instructors are so friendly and the owner is a gem. And the work out is incredible. So much fun. But pricey! I had to cancel my monthly membership because I couldn’t continue to afford going the amount needed to stay in shape. But it’s not their fault I can’t afford it, so they still deserve 5 stars.

Trying this place for the first time with Unilocal was amazing! The instructors are fun and motivating! I definitely got my workout in! The place is super cute as well ! I can’t wait to come back to take classes when I am free:) And for those of you that think you need dance experience because it says barre, that is not the case! Anyone can come with any experience to get their booty into shape ;)

Holy cow! This place does give you a workout, so if you’ve never taken a barre class before– not to scare you but this place will kick your booty as well as get your booty, your abs and thighs in check!
That being said, as a newcomer. It can get pretty rough. I was so sore the first time I came out of this place I could barely walk and don’t get me started as to the soreness I felt the following following day. But I knew one thing: if I was sore and literally all over, it was doing something and that something is exactly why I returned!
The girls are all so cute and friendly and not to mention that the place is decked out with pink and chandeliers so not only do you get to work up towards getting cuter you’re in a cute environment. And of course their workout clothes sure do help.
Only tip: bring your toesox.
Don’t have any? You can buy them there.
And as a newbie: it can get super duper intimidating but obviously practice makes perfect and I honestly feel like if you want the body, you got to put in the work.
Highly recommend. You’ll have a banging body. You’ll have fun. Even when you have kids– because there’s also a mommy class :)

First off, this studio is a hidden gem! I live right up the street and I never knew it existed so I’m very glad I attended this event! I have attended a handful of Barre classes prior to this class and I have to say that I have never worked up such a sweat like I did in this class!
The instructors brought such great energy to the class and that always makes such a difference. Not only were they positive and motivating but they were hands on making sure to correct form to allow you to get the most out of the workout. It always amazes me when I think I’m in the correct position and an instructor makes a slight correction that really changes the way I feel each move.
The studio also offers tons of classes that allow for easy accommodation, especially during my busy work week.
I really look forward to taking more classes at this studio!
