barre3

Great place, location, people! Love everything about this Barre3. All the teachers are great, they help you and push you to your best postures and to have the best workout for your body. The studio is huge and always impeccable.

First off, I’m a runner, I lift weights, and I’m a dude, so Barre3 is not for me, right? Wrong.
Barre3 is incredibly challenging but not overly stressful. The instructors take great care to make sure your form and body position are correct in order to maximize your workout as well as to protect you from injury. My core strength and flexibility have increased from doing Barre3 and helped heal injuries I’ve had from years of running and working out. If you are wanting to get stronger and be healthy, check out Barre3.

I’m a fan of barre3 in Roosevelt so its no surprise that I love the Capitol Hill location as well.
What makes this location stand out is that they have showers available, which is a huge plus for me. Its great knowing that I can freshen up before meeting up with friends in the area. The Capitol Hill studio is also larger and has two classrooms, while the Roosevelt studio only has one.
I have love every Barre3 class because of the instructors. I have found the instructors at both locations to be great with verbal cues, show modifications when needed, and are very welcoming. I love that they introduce themselves to everyone in class and personally ask if you have any injuries or concerns prior to class. They even encourage students to ask questions at then end of class, which I have taken advantage of a few times.
If you are on their email list, you’ll also get updates of free classes led by student teachers. I have found those just as good as a regular class, and I like how supportive everyone is in those classes too.
Barre3, if you already can’t tell, is my preferred studio for barre classes. I find the classes at Barre3 perfect for cross training for any sport or activity from running to even weight lifting.

This was my first experience at Barre3, and I was very impressed. I’ve taken a lot of barre classes. But I have to say Barre3 was one of my favorites. Friendly front desk staff, clean studio, smelled good (some studios, not so good smelling), had a good vibe! My instructor Amy was great. She showed me modifications for my low back and for anyone wise with any other injuries. I think it’s important for instructors to be aware and ask questions as much as it is the clients responsibility to let them know of any injuries. Amy had great playlist going the entire class. Which went with each set of exercises. I would recommend Barre3 to my friends! I’ll definitely be back

This is such a great studio! It’s a beautiful space with nice amenities like showers, towels, etc. (not something I’ve seen at other small barre studios). The instructors are friendly and helpful and the classes are fun and challenging, but also fairly accessible for people new to barre.
As part of ClassPass, I have recently gone to FlyBarre, Pure Barre, Barre3 and Bria Pilates and Barre3 is my favorite class and, according to my hear rate monitor, also the most effective in terms of calories burned in an hour. Lots of fun!
Parking is available in the garage for $ 6 (ouch), but I’ve had decent luck finding free street parking as well.

This space and site is beautiful providing great amenities like showers, lockers, child care, towels, toiletries, and even some delicious cashews for a nice snack before or after your workout.
I have taken around 3 classes here so far and each instructor is friendly, encouraging, and remembers your name. Out of all the barre classes I have tried (PureBarre and Flybarre) barre3’s style focuses a bit more on specific body areas with more reputations. All are good, but I felt this one was the easiest to pick up on as a new individual to barre.
New membership deals can give you unlimited classes for only $ 99 a month or this studio is also on ClassPass. Classes range from $ 15 – 22 a class depending on what package you purchase (cheeper per unit classes when you purchase more).
Great workout and beautiful space… just keep your eyes and nose closed as you walk by the doughnut shop next door… ahhhh…temptation!

Barre is a great workout! I love coming to this studio and have always had fantastic instructors. I’m always pushed to my edge when working out here. The studio itself is bright (orange walls) and modern décor, it is clean and I really appreciate that they have showers and toiletries, even blow dryer. The last time I was here they had cashews out to try which were delicious!

Barre3 has been my go to for a solid workout, mind-​body focus and all around rejuvenation for a couple years now. I’ve tried other barre styles around the area and come back to Barre3 every time. Love the pace, the method of instruction, the friendly environment and the fact that after an hour in the studio I somehow feel both physically worked out and mentally relaxed. This will always be one of my fave places to sweat!

LOVE it. Great workout and instructors. Book early as the classes can get «sold out» quickly

I’m completely in love with this place. I’ve been an athlete my entire life, but have never been as tone until I started going to Barre3. The instructors, owners and managers are all super friendly and helpful. I was just talking to one and mentioned how I had a group of rugby guys that wanted to try and she gave me some free passes for them. My boyfriend had gone with me before and had told his friends how he nearly ‘collapsed’ during leg work! I brought my mom when she was in town visiting and now she is looking for a studio where she is. Love the discount for educators too. Great establishment, thank you!

I walked past this place a hundred times before finally going in. The «barretender» Mary was friendly and welcoming. She helped me get set up and made sure I had all the equipment I needed. The teacher Brittany introduced herself to me and the other new girl and gave us a general idea of what to expect. Because the movements are meant to be small, sometimes it was hard to tell exactly what the movement was supposed to be, but I think regular attendance would fix that. I don’t know if «barre» types of fitness classes are my new favorite form of exercise, but I had a good time, and I got a good workout. Give it a try!

Took a Barre3 class today for the first time and had Amy as my instructor. All round super positive experience!
The gal at the front desk was very friendly. She’s the first impression you get of the studio and she made a great one. She gave me a quick tour of the facilities and introduced me to the instructor as a first time student. Amy the instructor was very welcoming and we discussed my ankle injury. She even set up a spot in the studio for me while I was getting my belongings squared away!
The space is LOVELY! Clean, inviting, a modern vibe. Showers, towels, lockers, and cubbies with baskets are provided to store your belongings.
Amy was great at providing modifications to make the exercises either more challenging or gentle, depending on where you were at. When she made corrections to my body mechanics/​posture, they were gentle and helpful.
I’ve done Pure Barre before and never really took to it. I have a athletic/​slender type of body and Pure Barre makes my booty smaller. NOT what I am wanting. (not sure if it’s those lift, tuck, tucks.) Barre3 make my booty POP. Exactly what I want! There are a lot of «Barre» studios around Seattle, and I think it’s important to try them all to see how your body works with them.
As for me. they will be seeing my mug on a regular basis.
LOVE Barre3

I’m only giving it 4 stars because I have no other place to compare it to. I do love it here and it’s always a kick ass workout no matter who your teacher is. The place is ALWAYS CLEAN and that includes the locker area, shower, etc, not just the studios.
The place can get pretty packed depending on when you go, especially weekends so I’d suggest coming 15 min early to scope out a spot. Gabriella is one of my favorite instructors, she’s bubbly, knowledgeable, helpful and will make you feel pain. The good kind, of course!
I have been going to this location for a few months and it is great for me as I do run and can be very inflexible and I do have weak hips and upper-​body. I highly recommend this type of exercise as it really has helped strengthen my core and hips and helped my running. If you don’t run, come anyway because it’s fun and your body will thank you.

Good class!
I took class with Kimberly when I was up visiting my family in Seattle. She was very friendly, gave me hands-​on correction and I sensed that throughout the class she was attentive to my form. Her instruction was clear and upbeat. It was great that we spent a bit of time setting up each position, finding our alignment in the exercise before being encouraged to either modify or deepen the challenge. Thigh and arm work were particularly intense.
The studio is lovely. The young woman at the desk was also friendly. Overall, a good experience!

Love barre3! Their staff, studio and the whole philosophy is amazing. I never felt pressured to be THE best, just MY best.
After class I loved the sense of community. The instructors are amazing and you can tell they love what they do. Totally addicted to that barre3 burn and can’t wait to make it my regular spot after I move closer to the Roosevelt location!

I can’t say enough about this studio and these women. Such a welcoming place,! I love that I can fit it in my schedule even though that’s constantly changing all the time. They have so many class times and every class I know it’s been an hour well spent. I lost 10lbs at barre3! Also, every time I go I leave feeling better than when I came in.
I could go on and on. The teachers are funny and the music is fun and the studio is super clean.
Highly recommended!

Review based on barre3 4−5x/week for the past month. Fave instructors Jenny Haight, Crystal Schue, Ariel van Spronsen, Amy Masterman keep good focus on form, count out sequences consistently (helps keep you in the game), and provide useful prompts for adjusting intensity on exercises/​poses, along with continuous focus on maintaining core (critical reminder). Said instructors above do a great job demonstrating barre3 form (controlled, focused movement) and actually do sequences alongside you, which is a huge motivator. Good variety of sequences, exercises and poses among the instructors, which is good for keeping workouts fresh and your body engaged, esp. If you’re easily bored like me. Instructors are generally mindful of form.
After 5 consistent weeks of Barre3, my core is noticeably stronger, back, shoulders/​arms more defined, glute/​leg strength improved. Barre3 especially focuses on deeper core work (I.e. transverse abdominus) and neutral spine to avoid injury.
Hands-​on assists are generally limited, do wish there were more. Dislike instructors who aren’t as involved and don’t seem in it with you, i.e. inconsistently count or show sloppy form (one of the newer instructors).
Classes remain packed so if you’re avoiding peak, check out the 7:30am and 7:00pm classes. Weekends are generally fairly full so be sure to sign up ahead of time to reserve your space.
Cap Hill Barre3 has 2 studio rooms. Plenty of lockers to store belongings during class, towels, bathrooms have shower available, all nice amenities vs. Pure Barre.
Enjoy a nice, clean burn at Barre3!

I really love going there.
It’s a great leg, butt, ab and arm work out and usually I left totally wiped out. The quality of the class obviously depends on the teacher. I really like Gabriela and Datza. They seem to do more ballet movements, which I love. I wish there was more ballet in all classes. The variety of times a day is great. Facility is clean. Instructors introduce themselves to you and ask about injuries personally. It’s a great touch.
I think I’d continue more often if it wasn’t so dang expensive $ 15 – 20 per class (depending on the package).
Tip 1: Sometimes classes book up, so its very disappointing if you get there and don’t get in! Thus, schedule online.
Tip 2: parking is on the street. $$
Tip 3: start with 1 pound weights (the isometrics are harder than you think)
Tip 4: grab a ball, strap and weights and find your spot. Avoid the corners, as you might run into the person on the other side/​wall of the corner.

Ugghhh you guys, barre is SO HARD. Every class reminds me that I am just a weak little pudding of a person. All my muscles shake and scream and I feel like I’m flailing all over the place as I move from position to position.
But barre3 is wonderful anyway and I will keep going back. It’s a big, clean space with lovely wood floors, plenty of lockers and a large bathroom, and nice, patient people working there. I suffer through an entire hour of wobbly thighs and anxious biceps, and at the end of it I feel like I’m floating. Normal life, with my feet flat on the ground, is so easy.
The workout is definitely more slowly paced and low impact than some others I’ve done, but I like that. «Low impact» doesn’t mean that the impact on your fitness or your muscles will be weak — it means that you’re not bouncing all over the place. It’s a joint-​gentle workout.
On Capitol Hill, I prefer barre3 to Pure Barre for a few reasons: the wood (rather than carpeted) floors; the lighting (it’s open and airy and bright in the studios); the lack of shouty microphone use. barre3 is just as difficult as Pure Barre, but it feels more gentle, genteel, and graceful — more like a workout that a ballerina would do.

I do CrossFit so this should be no sweat. What is this, 1, 2, 3lb weights?! hahaha… This is what I thought to myself before going into my first class. See, I bought a Bloomspot deal for 8 classes for $ 80 because I wanted to try something new and wanted that dancers body.
I walked into my first class without signing up online and was able to get in. The space is really clean and nice here and has everything you need. My instructor was this tiny lady and when everyone arrived to class, I noticed I’m like the biggest person in the class! Is this workout for people who are already skinny minis? Unfortunately, my first class was not much of a challenge and I felt the instructor didn’t do a good job explaining what to do or go around correcting people, she was very robotic. I’m not sure if she was new, but nonetheless, I did not get to experience ‘the shake’ and I was right, I barely broke a sweat.
Since I still had 7 classes remaining, I thought I’d give it another shot. The second time, I signed up on their online system about an hour before the class started and made sure to try a new instructor. I got home from work and my poor dog was sick so I had to cancel the class online. Due to their cancellation policy, if you cancel less than an hour you lose a class. Grr…
The following day I was determined to try it again and did a walk in. I got a different instructor and she was more personable and was actually cool. About 10 minutes into the class doing those small up and down movements, I was trembling uncontrollably and my legs burned so bad!!! WAAAH! I liked that this instructor showed us how to do each movement, was attentive, and walked around the room to make corrections to our postures. She was really good at explaining each of the movements and what it would do for you. Halfway through the class I was sweating like crazy!
Today was my third class after a two month break because I’m a Crossfit lover. I signed up for the cool instructor again and really enjoyed it. It hurts so good. It’s funny because no matter how strong I think I am, I couldn’t even hold up the 3lb weights for the whole arm session. haha… Silly me.
I’d definitely be back again to use up the classes I bought but will also try out some other studios to see how they compare.
