Barre3 Portland-Pearl

I love, love, love barre3 - and I do live in the Pearl, but am not a mom, I usually go to the 6am class and get in my workout before work which is awesome.\r The instructors are great and I like that the routines are slightly different every time. I am definitely seeing results.\r My only ""complaint"" is that it's not exactly affordable, but in lieu of a gym membership/personal trainer, it's worth it! more

It was love at first class for me and barre3. I first stepped foot into the Pearl location just a few months after it opened and I have been a dedicated follower ever since. Why? 1. It's the most effective 60 minute work out I have ever done (and my list is long) 2. The classes are fun, ever-changing and move quickly enough that even after a year + of practicing, I never get bored 3. It is a great environment, really urban and open and easy to get in and out of. (this goes for both the Pearl and SE locations)\r \r I encourage anyone of any fitness level who has an interest in improving their posture, strength, physique and overall mood to give barre3 a go. You'll be glad you did! more

I first heard about Barre 3 from one of my friends who is an instructor at the studio. She encouraged me to take classes, and see how I liked the format, perhaps one day to become an instructor myself. I wasn't sure if the class would be a challenge, and I figured I would be an advanced client since I work out daily. BOY WAS I WRONG. THIS CLASS KICKED MY BUTT IN THE BEST WAY! I instantly fell in love with classes, and dropped my 24hr membership. 3 months later, I am in training to be an instructor, already teaching mock classes each week. This is an astounding method that is completely about balance in form, shape, strength, and self. What you learn here carries you throughout the day. And the owner, Sadie, is so committed to helping clients see results. True, it can be pricey, but fortunately there are ALWAYS free classes going on. Whether it be trainees such as myself giving free mock classes, or free classes at LuluLemon in the pearl, there's always a chance to save your pocket book. AND they are willing to do trade for classes! This method has completely changed me, and I can't wait to see how it effects each chapter of my life as I grow and learn with it year by year. COME TO BARRE 3!!! Pros: total body workout, focus on definition and length Cons: can be spendy, but ways around that more

An unbelievable workout at any fitness level, coupled with a mind, body, spirit boost! Each class follows a specific sequence format, with different nuances each session, so no class is exactly the same. You will however, work your core like never before, feeling noticeably stronger with each 60 minute class. The size of the studio lends itself to an intimate workout, where you literally receive one on one instruction. Each teacher is extremely well versed in the prevention of injury, providing modifications to suit your bodies injury history, and personal ""truth levels."" These classes have become an addiction, and I have seen results that couldn't be obtained from aerobics, weightlifting, or running. I recommend to all! Pros: Highly effective workout, knowledgeable staff more

I was visiting my sister for a week and I went twice. I have always been a very strong athlete but this class really attacked my weaknesses. I don't want to stop and wish I could find a studio in upstate NY. I could really feel the firming and toning in just 2 classes! Wow...any chance you could open a studio here?? more

Barre 3 is the perfect balance between firming and elongating your muscles. I did a lot of yoga before trying Barre 3 and was beginning to feel tight and more restricted. Once I started doing Barre 3, I noticed a difference in about a month. It's improved my posture and increased my stamina immensely. My hamstrings no longer feel permanently tight, and I can bend over without any pain. I actually feel taller and my muscles are leaner. The other plus to the studio is the amazing mix of teachers. I haven't been to a class yet that I haven't enjoyed. They all seem to have a similar training background, so you get the same great workout with each instructor. If you want a quick workout that reshapes your entire body, you should try Barre 3. Pros: Great workout with a friendly staff! more

I don't get to Barre3 much, but I attend a class whenever I'm in town. It's a modern and clean venue, in a great neighborhood across from one of Portland's little treasure parks in the Pearl. The classes combine aspects of different schools of stretching and posing, resulting in a refreshing (and tough) program. I like the online sign up, which makes things really easy for me being on the go. I hope to see some more of these turn up on other locations someday! Pros: Staff, innovation of program, online sign up Cons: Only one location so far! more

Just a little spendy.... I cant afford to go a bunch but the space\r is nice- a bit on the small side, It was a good work out! Pros: good workout Cons: expensive more
