Been going to various barre studios across the United States for over a decade and this is the first one where I’ve been publicly shamed by an instructor (who I later found out was a co-owner) for starting on the wrong side. This place gives off the vibe that it’s only welcoming and open to a certain type of crowd. Disappointing, to say the least, for what should be a place of empowerment.

Response to owner’s response: I’ve suffered from chronic injuries for over a decade due military service, including recent sports injuries, all of which I verbally informed Pivot Barre about when I started attending classes. Years of compensating muscle memory learned for one side of the body can make for remembering starting sides hard sometimes. Every barre studio I’ve ever attended has had instructors competent and intuitive enough to understand this nuance and continue with the mission without having to stop and publicly call out a patron during class for it. While I only wish Pivot Barre the best in its fledgling small business journey, I certainly hope it will be setting a better example for its instructors in training so that they can grow to become (and remain) stewards of respect, health, safety, and consistency for all patrons without judgment or impatience.

All of the staff and instructors at Pivot Barre are so welcoming and wonderful. I haven't worked out in years and I was terrified to get back into it. Through email, Haley and Gracie were so reassuring and kind, so I decided to take a chance and go to a class. I am so very grateful that I did. I have now taken classes with Lindy, Michayla, and Gracie. I have enjoyed each and every one, I leave feeling energized and proud. All of the instructors provide appropriate modifications based on injuries and sensitivities, which makes the class inviting and inclusive. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey and taking many more classes and bringing friends to try them, too.

Thank you so very much for your help and giving me a safe space to restart my health journey.

I absolutely love Pivot Barre! All the teachers are amazing and super approachable. They have created a really lovely, inclusive community. Classes are extremely challenging and my chronic shoulder pain has been greatly diminished thanks to the low impact strengthening exercises. I feel stronger and healthier since coming to this studio!

I love this studio! It is such a welcoming community, and I get to discover muscles that I didn't know I had! I am working on strengthening the stabilizer muscles around my joints and improving my posture most.

As a bigger woman who had old stories around barre and “not looking like everyone else”, I took a chance at my first time trying barre at pivot. I am now in my second month and am so obsessed. Every single teacher is so inviting, warm, welcoming, intentional and extremely great at cueing and making sure everyone has safe and proper form. I have to make lots of modifications and that was no problem. I teared up knowing that I held myself back for so long for something that is so good for my body! I’m loving the community, class times, teachers, and intentionality behind Pivot, and I’m so excited to see how my body gets even more strong and flexible! Highly recommend checking them out, and happy to take anyone to their first class! It can be “scary” but I’m so glad I did it and keep showing up! Thank you pivot for being so amazing 🫶🏻😭

I’ve been coming to this barre studio since it opened. In that time, it has changed owners a few times. The current owners have put such thoughtful effort into recent changes, but the thing I appreciate most is the emphasis on community. I feel comfortable meeting other members and striking up friendships. It’s been a welcome change because even though the workouts are good and train my body, the relationships and connections add to an overall sense of well-being.

Barre has been so healing for my body postpartum after both my babies, but Pivot really takes it to the next level, with a focus on form to keep your body in the safest position. Pivot is the perfect complement to my pelvic floor therapy and has helped me get stronger in the areas that I have struggled to strengthen postpartum.

I loved my first barre experience at Pivot!
The studio is cozy and welcoming, and Haley was a fantastic instructor—super uplifting, light-hearted, and attentive to everyone’s needs offering adjustments when necessary. The class was challenging but fun, with a perfect mix of strength and stretch. I left feeling energized, a little shaky (in a good way lol), and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this locally owned gem!

First and only place I have tried barre - great locally owned small business and welcoming studio. It's been a good low impact workout (I do the express and basic/forte classes) for me during pregnancy, and also...super hard!

There are a lot of instructors so it takes a while to cycle through, but Allie and Edirin have been my favorites so fa.

The owner Jenn is very helpful, and I appreciate that they don't pressure you into confusing auto-renewing specials, and seem reasonable about booking window/fees/cancellation relative to some other gyms/studios. They host some cute little social gatherings and special theme classes.

I was looking for a low-impact muscle-strengthening workout, particularly to help stability of an ankle I fractured a year ago, and the barre classes at Barre Forte Wash Park are just what I needed. Every instructor is friendly and knowledgeable, offering tips for adjustments, and the workouts are varied, so you don't feel as if you're going to the same class over and over. They are hard workouts! But I love that they are also accessible for a wide age range. Jenn the owner and the other instructors make a real effort to be friendly and welcoming, and they ask for regular feedback on how we like the classes and whether the schedule is convenient.

Glowing review for their online virtual classes! The Barre Forte Wash Park team provides outstanding at-home workouts. Smart strength training and core conditioning with well-trained, motivating, creative instructors who make the at-home experience memorable and effective. Great playlists enhance the experience.

After a year of working out solo in my sad basement, I’ve taken barre classes with a wide array of studios and instructors. As a group fitness instructor (and certified barre instructor), this is virtual barre at its finest. It’s a huge challenge to work out at home, especially in a modality like barre, which requires solid form for optimal results and feeds on in-class energy. These gals keep things fun, focused and deliver the goods!

My favorite instructor, Melissa, is a BEAST - she teaches an outstanding class and I love how she does the whole damn thing without missing a cue! If you like a little mental motivation (and inner monologue awareness) with your challenging workout, she’s the whole package.

Barre is for *everyone* and highly modifiable for injuries and limitations. Still, it has a reputation and can be intimidating to those who haven’t shot a lululemon campaign ;) I admire that this studio draws a range of ages, body types and strength levels. Everyone’s working out together, getting it done. There’s an emphasis from all instructors that each day is different and to work with what’s happening in your body on any given day. Maybe because it’s Denver (with its avid outdoor culture), but I appreciate that the instructors are there to get you STRONG and they inspire without referencing “bikini bodies” and “long, lean muscles.” The reality is that barre can supplement any training regime, and help you rock your next ultra or triathlon.

Again, my experience is only with the online classes, but if I lived in Denver, this would be my home studio. Hands down! Whether you’re barre curious or an old hand, check this place out.
