barre3 — Local services in Madison

I'd definitely recommend barre3 for a fun workout!

I was introduced to barre3 through ClassPass and I've taken quite a few classes since then. I love that it's kind of a mix of yoga, pilates, ballet, and some cardio. I'm always sweating during a barre class, but I'm also able to connect with my breath and focus on form.

The barre3 staff members are welcoming and accommodating. I feel like a part of a community when I walk in. During classes, each instructor makes sure to provide verbal encouragement and assistance to ensure you're getting the most of the classes.

The facility is clean, bright, and modern. They provide a hot tea and a water filling station, along with towels and some toiletries. There's a small lot with 2 hour parking right outside barre3.

I was alone and trying something completely new, scary! But right when I arrived at the studio I was welcomed with open arms and felt ten times more comfortable. The classes themselves are challenging in the best way. They push you to reach beyond the limitations of both your mind and body. All of the instructors that I have had the pleasure to meet are lively, empowering, and best of all accommodating to the needs of those taking their class. If you’re thinking of taking a class at Barre3 Madison I would totally recommend you do...
