barre3 — Local services in Denver

I love barre3. I've been a member here since 2014 and there's a reason I keep coming back for more. I have tried literally every workout under the sun and this is the one that I love the most. I really like the combination of cardio, strength conditioning and mindfulness all in one 60-minute class. I appreciate that this workout appeals to my brain while also being fun and light-hearted. What I mean is that the class is infused with messages about body positivity, inner strength, and resisting dominant cultural narratives about women's sole worth being in appearance and body size. How rare is that in a workout setting when typical motivation includes yelling and belittling that makes you feel beat up and never good enough? I've never found that kind of atmosphere at barre3; instead I leave feeling tall, strong, and connected. I have a dance background (Latin dance, ballet, modern, etc.) so I really enjoy the way the class gets everyone moving together in synchrony with pumping music. However, this is definitely not a traditional barre or dance workout. The choreography is easy and approachable, and there's a lot of yoga and pilates influence here, as well, which I love. I appreciate that barre3 clearly has a physical therapist at the training helm. The workouts are always changing and modified to be low-impact and safe for the joints while also getting you drenched in sweat. The space is pristine and beautiful, the front-desk staff are warm and welcoming, and the owner and teachers are incredible. They are extremely knowledgable, well-versed in body alignment and modifications, and encouraging. barre3 keeps me feeling aligned, strong, and graceful. This review is based on 6 years of coming here 2-4x per week so I hope it's helpful!...

Hands down the BEST Barre classes offered in Denver. In fact, it was voted Editor's Pick in 5280 Magazine. I found Barre3 because it's conveniently located in Cherry Creek and because the offer a reasonable beginner rate. After the first month, I was hooked. My favorite thing is the kind and supportive attitudes of all the staff. I went in with back issues and some medical concerns and the amazing instructors suggested modifications which helped me achieve an optimum work-out for my level. Every instructor there is the best in town. They support and encourage, and crack jokes during class, making every person in class feel comfortable. The work-out itself, is HARD, I won't lie..it makes your body burn in good ways! The music/playlists are always fun. The parking is plentiful and they even offer daycare. I love it so much, I just became a member, so I'm able to work out almost every day at a very fair price. Owner, Julie Gordon, takes the time to discuss fitness and diet strategies with ALL the clients. I feel like I often get amazing pointers on my form and fitness. It really feels like I get personal training at a group exercise rate. Barre 3 makes working out a joyous experience that keeps me coming back for more. The results are showing up quickly on my body and even my back feels so much better! Thank you Barre3 Denver staff! I will constantly continue to recommend you to anyone who...

My friend and I had signed up for a 9:45am barre class and on our way to class my friend’s car broke down. We didn’t want to miss the class, but wanted to respect their policy on tardiness, so I called the studio and asked the receptionist what our options were. She explained she needed to speak with the instructor (Julie) and would call me back. Within 5 minutes she called me back and explained that we could be a couple minutes late and she would set up two stations for us so we could walk right in and join class. I was very appreciative of her help. We arrived at the studio at 9:47am, and upon entering, the receptionist that I had spoken with on the phone said that the instructor had just closed the door and we would not be allowed to attend class. She stated that the instructor would allow us to be “no more than 2mins late” before closing the door. I showed her my phone which showed the time was 9:47am and she refused to allow us into class stating it was for injury prevention reasons. I can understand if we hadn’t called and just shown up late, but to be told we would be able to attend the class if we made it within their timeframe only to be turned away after rushing to get there was extremely disappointing. The customer service was terrible and I will not...
