Barre & Soul is my go-to studio for Barre, Mat Pilates, and Yoga. The instructors are all passionate about their practice and provide a supportive and welcoming environment. The class schedule features a variety of class types, and some have both virtual and on-site options for participation.

I went to this studio for years but the high turnover in staff and recent lack of yoga classes were downsides for me. I also was turned off by the lack of transparency in pricing - it seemed like there were several members I spoke to all paying different monthly rates. There was a price increase meant to resolve this but I still know of varying rates among members. Didn't like the feeling of paying an extra $20/mth than others. I would have stuck with it but after some of my favorite instructors left I felt like I had to drag myself to class rather than looking forward to it.

I've been a longtime member here and I love it. Highly recommend! Great classes and instructors in a very cozy studio. I can usually book the classes I want in advance without issue. It's been such a great community pre-, during, and post-pandemic.

That said, do not bring anything nice to class and leave them in the communal area! I wore my cute Hunter slides to class and someone who left class before me stole them from the facilities and have never been recovered. I had to leave the class BAREFOOT. One of the admin sent out an email to ask that they be returned in case they were taken by mistake, but nothing happened. It's been mind boggling to think now whenever I go to class that there's a thief among us just carrying on like they're a normal decent human being. Be careful with your possessions because like any other fitness studio, they're not responsible for lost or stolen items, which makes sense, and I don't blame Barre & Soul for the theft, and this incident hasn't deterred me from practicing barre here.

Great studio for all levels and types of classes! I signed up as a beginner, just trying to increase my flexibility and fitness level. I tried all different classes and felt so supported, comfortable and successful. I never liked going to a gym, but I LOVE coming to the Yoga and barre classes. You have to try this studio! Reasonable rates and staff and owner are amazing!

Great studio, instructor was motivating and fun at the same time! She took the time to correct form, mentioned modifications if needed. I took class as a "drop in" and would definitely return.

I absolutely LOVE Barre & Soul! I moved to the area in January and was looking for a yoga studio and I fell in love with Barre & Soul. The studio is very clean and inviting, and the instructors are wonderful. Every class I've taken I've always felt both challenged and accepted. Each instructor I've had brings something unique to the practice, and I have learned a lot and rekindled my love for yoga. Definitely recommend!!!

Awesome instructors that are professional and down-to-earth. I am always motivated and see great results. It's good for my mind and body. The Express classes are my favorite as my day job is demanding. And l love the online classes but do hope in time to do a mix of both online and in person. And the cost per month is perfect! Thank you for making me a happier and healthier person Barre & Soul!

I love the virtual experience so much! I used to go to the studio 3-4 times a week and loved the experience and instructors. However, switching to remote really worked for me and I'm able to squeeze in more classes without sacrificing the experience. I find the instructors to be fun, soothing, and as engaged with the virtual participants as they are with in-studio participants!

Barre & Soul Melrose is my favorite barre studio. I've only been taking barre classes for a few months and I was very intimidated in the beginning. Barre & Soul has such a welcoming and non-judgmental environment with motivational instructors - it's why I keep taking classes here! My first few barre classes at other studios had full length mirrors but this studio does not. This is a good thing! At first I thought it was odd and I couldn't work on my form but you're actually much more present in the workout because you are not judging your form in the mirror. If your form needs correction the instructor will very lightly adjust you without making you feel like you're doing it all wrong. Highly recommend this studio for barre! I can't comment on the yoga because I haven't taken a class here but I expect it would be equally amazing.

When moving to Melrose, I wanted to feel part of the community. I was always intrigued by barre but intimidated to try something new. After mustering the courage to try a class, I fell in love with my first Amy Sinclair barre class and immediately signed up for the monthly membership! I try to do at least 4 classes a week, between barre and cardio flash. I love the instructors and I love the community of women who participate in the classes. The instructors are so kind, provide positive encouragement, and ensure you are safely executing each move. The women in the classes are so kind and friendly. It has been a wonderful way to meet people and to create a niche community. Barre & Soul is truly wonderful and I look forward to classes every week! Thank you! PS congrats on Best of Boston - you totally deserve it :)

I've been taking classes off and on here for 2 years and I'm glad to see that they're expanding to other locations. The studio is small (fits about 20 comfortably) but every instructor I've had has been great! One tip is to become a volunteer at the studio and in return you receive free classes. I like their barre classes because they're not taxing on certain areas of the body like some other classes are. The variety of yoga classes are great too!
