We recommend starting with Barre Classic or Barre Fitness. These classes provide a great introduction to our method and are suitable for all fitness levels, and great for beginners.

Not at all. Many of our members begin with no prior Barre experience. Our instructors provide modifications and guidance throughout class to help you feel comfortable and confident.

Wear comfortable workout clothing that allows you to move freely. Grip socks are required for all in-studio classes.

Grip socks have non-slip grips on the bottom to help provide traction and stability during class. They are required for all in-studio classes and are available for purchase in our Barre Boutique.
-
Bring a water bottle and arrive ready to move. We provide the equipment you'll need for class, and we have a purified water refill station available for your convenience.

We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before your first class. This gives you time to check in, fill out your health waiver, meet your instructor, and get familiar with the studio before class begins.

Booking & Account
-
Once you've purchased your Intro Offer or membership, you can reserve classes through our online schedule.
-
To help ensure everyone has the opportunity to attend class, we kindly ask that you cancel at least 12 hours before your scheduled class if you're unable to make it.
Late Cancellation (within 12 hours): $15 fee
No Show: $20 fee
These fees apply to all membership types and help us offer waitlisted clients the opportunity to attend class. Thank you for helping us support a fair and respectful booking experience for everyone.
-
If a spot becomes available, you may be added to the class from the waitlist up to 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Once you've been added to the class, our standard Late Cancellation & No Show Policy applies.
If you no longer wish to attend, please remove yourself from the waitlist before you're added to the class to avoid any applicable fees.
Thank you for helping us keep classes accessible and available for everyone.

You can manage your bookings, memberships, and personal information through your online Barre Fitness account.
Private Training & Pilates Reformer

Absolutely! Our Semi-Private Training sessions are a fun and motivating way to work toward your goals together while still receiving personalized coaching.

Personal Training combines a variety of equipment, including free weights, BOSU® trainers, stability balls, resistance bands, steps, and more to help you build strength, improve fitness, and achieve your individual goals.
Private Pilates Reformer sessions use the Pilates Reformer along with a variety of Pilates props to improve core strength, posture, mobility, flexibility, and overall body awareness through controlled, intentional movement.
Both options are fully personalized to your goals, fitness level, and movement needs, and we're happy to help you choose the best fit.

Studio Etiquette
A few simple guidelines help create a welcoming, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for everyone in the studio.
Give Yourself Time
Set yourself up for success by arriving early for your class and finish strong by staying until the end of your class.
*Latecomers will not be allowed into class. Sorry!
Save The Chit Chat
If you're talking during class you aren't working hard enough, plus it's a distraction for others around you. Stay focused on yourself and find your inner challenge zone.
Shoes Off Socks On
Shoes are not permitted in the workout studio, unless required for medical reasons. Barre socks are required in class as they have grip and help to retrain heat in the body.
So Fresh + So Clean
To respect a shared space, we are a scent free zone (of course, deodorant is welcome!) No perfumes, fragrances or strong scents/body odours please.
Phone Down Eyes Up
No cell phones in the workout studio. This hour is for you, to be fully present at the Barre. You deserve it! We're happy to help you take the perfect Barre selfie before or after your class.
Positive Vibes Only
Be kind. Have fun. Work hard. Embrace the shake. High five!
