Joining this class has been the best decision I’ve made this year! Rosanna made me feel welcome before I even showed up for my first class. She makes exercise enjoyable with her kind and energetic personality! Everyone in class has made me feel welcome and that makes me keep wanting to show up!

I highly recommend Barre for Life! I just finished my 6th class, so I’m still a newbie, but I can already say this place is amazing. I hesitated to try a barre class because of anxiety, worried I’d feel out of place, uncoordinated, or unable to keep up. I couldn’t have been more wrong! The atmosphere is complete opposite of intimidating. There’s a mix of people that are different ages, body types, and skill levels and everyone is supportive with no judgment, no criticism, just encouragement. The vibe is positive, uplifting, and focused on health and growth.
I’m so glad I finally gave it a try and found this place and can’t wait to keep going!

The instructor, Rosanna was an absolute joy to take a class with! As someone who is in the beginner level stages of barre, I felt very supported and encouraged my Rosanna throughout the entirety of the class. The ladies here are kind and wonderful to be around! The environment is friendly and warm. I look forward to more classes!

I WISH I LIVED CLOSER! I have known Rosanna since were were 5 years old. I'm so proud of my best friend! I can vouch for her kindness, dedication, passion, and professionalism! This has been dream of hers for years and watching it come true has been a true joy! I love taking her classes when I visit. Secretly hoping she will open a Barre for Life in NJ! Also, waiting for classes to be available on the app!

Wow! I did not expect the challenge of Barre, but what an incredible class! Not to mention, the studio is beautiful, charming, and welcoming. Best of all, you won't meet a better owner/instructor than Dr. Rosanna Silva. She listens, and she genuinely wants to help. Absolutely a five star experience!

Rosanna welcomed me with my first class this past week and I enjoyed the challenge and how motivating she was. Barre truly is a full body work out and I’m excited to see the results. It is easy to get hooked and their app is very easy to use. I would love to see class options around 6:30 am if that is possible but otherwise, really looking forward to getting started! Thank you Rosanna for being a fan of everyone and being the motivator so many of us need.

Highly recommend. Challenging but doable. The owner/instructor is knowledgeable. I have back problems and had past experiences with exercising with the wrong instructor that exacerbates the pain. Her techniques have not bothered my back at all. She always gives modifications for the more difficult positions. Easy to sign up for classes. No limit to how many classes each week. Overall this is a great way to get in shape.

Barre for Life is one of my favorite places to be! I’ve never consistently worked out and enjoyed it until I went to Barre for Life. Since joining, I’ve become so much stronger. The exercises we do even cured my plantar fasciitis. Everyone there is so friendly and the instructors are so kind, helpful, and fun. It’s also very inclusive to people at all different levels of fitness. I highly recommend Barre for Life!

I started at BFL 4 years ago when it was first opened. It was so exciting to have something like this in waxhaw. I will never go back to a regular gym! Barre is a full body workout, you can choose how hard you want it to be. I did it while pregnant till I was 36 weeks & it made my postpartum recovery so much faster! Not only is it the best workout but the owner Rosanna teaches the best classes even on the weekends. She is very dedicated to her business and the sweetest person you’ll ever met. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. I love Barre for life and so thankful to be apart of something so fun & helps me take care of myself at the same time. I look forward to it every weekend.

WOW! The owner and incredible instructor Rosanna welcomed me in with my first class not too long ago and I was hooked instantly! I love barre and finding a method that's fun, challenging and safe that has a community of kind, welcoming bright woman is something that I'm already so grateful for. I always look forward to class, am always motivated and challenged throughout class and always leaving feeling so accomplished and happy - what a special experience. Oh and the studio is so clean - love and appreciate that - parking is easy and their very pricing is reasonable. It's such a gem of a studio!

If you are looking for an amazing whole-body workout at a Barre studio that is privately owned, which means no “corporate” requirements, Barre For Life is for you! I have been taking classes for about a month and I absolutely love the instructors! Give it a try!

I tried Barre for the first time here tonight and loved it. It felt so good to be push hard (burn baby burn) mixed with relaxing stretches. My friend couldn’t come with me but I’m glad I tried it on my own. Looking forward to more classes. Thanks Rosanna

I hesitated joining a Barre studio for too long because I had an idea in my head of it being a competitive and cliquey environment. After researching Barre for Life, I just had a good feeling about the studio and the owner so I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and took my first class. Boy am I glad that I did. Rosanna (the owner) has cultivated a warm and welcoming environment, in a beautiful studio! The women are all ages and abilities and are so kind and supportive. Rosanna is an incredible instructor and is so good at what she does. In the last few months I’ve gained: confidence, muscle tone, strength, better posture and a wonderful community of women in my life. I’ve lost: weight, inches and anxiety!

It started with a free class, boy did I win the lotto! I’ve gained muscle in mind and body and that’s not all. I’ve lost 37lbs and have had the best blood work 2 years in a row - and I love to eat! Most of all, I’ve found family like you’ve never imagined, we laugh, work, talk and sometimes cry - it’s more than I could have asked God for❤️

I hadn’t worked out in many years and was pretty nervous to get started. After my first class, I really felt at home in this studio. It’s not like a large chain atmosphere or clicky gym. It’s a broad group of kind women all contending for their personal level of health and fitness. The bonus is that after a few weeks I saw radical changes in my body and have been so pleased!

I joined Barre for Life 3 years ago during the pandemic as a way to reduce stress and get moving again. It started as something I thought I’d give a try, but it wasn’t long before I was hooked. The workouts are high intensity but low impact. They are so much fun and the community of women are welcoming and kind. The owner of the studio, Rosanna, is also an instructor and has created such a positive space for women to get healthy in an encouraging, non judgmental environment. I absolutely recommend Barre for Life to anyone whether you’re looking to improve your health or just looking to carve out some time for yourself!

If you want to get fit and have a blast, Barre for Life is your place! You will always be surrounded by people with positive energy. I must say, I am now seeing more muscle definition that when I did HIIT style bootcamps years ago. Love this place!

This is Melodie Carswell , I joined Barre For Life, never realizing how addicting it would become for me. I was wearing size 14 clothing. I can now slip into size 8 and my Doctor took me off blood pressure medicine and my cholesterol is also in normal range. I have so much more strength and tone in my legs, abs, and arms. Fantastic songs are played to each exercise we do. The added bonus is the owner , also the instructor works out with our class and she is very encouraging and motivating. Her facility is extremely clean and very spacious. I have met wonderful BARRE BUDDIES and love working out with them
They are so encouraging. I truly feel I am the healthiest in my life! Thank you Rosanna and Barre For Life !

Love the family I have made at B4L. The energy is truly invigorating and captivating. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the positive vibes and enthusiasm. The classes are engaging and challenging, pushing me to new limits while also making sure I feel supported throughout the workout and outside the workout. Also, the class flexibility and time options are great for anyone that works during the day/week. I absolutely love it and never thought I would be exited to go exercise. Highly recommend you join!

Barre For Life is just the BEST! Great workout, instructors and people. As an avid runner who was dealing with back issues and was told to strengthen my core, I thought this would be a short term fix. I fell in love with the classes and am approaching two years at Barre For Life.

I tried my first barre class 2 weeks ago and I’ve been obsessed since. Rosanna is such a wonderful teacher that encourages you at all the right times. The studio is clean and welcoming, the women are supportive and the workout is challenging! I never thought I’d look forward to working out but since joining, it is the highlight of my day!

I only have great things to say about Barre for Life. I grew up dancing and after I stopped, I struggled to find consistency with working out. After moving to Waxhaw earlier this year, I came across Barre for Life and signed up for a complementary class on a whim. I left my first class with an unlimited class membership. To say I was hooked is an understatement.
Rosanna is an excellent teacher, who not only encourages and believes in you, but also helps you realize your true strength.
The community of women who attend Barre for Life is unmatched. I love that there are women of all ages in each class, all working toward the same goal - becoming stronger together.
It is truly such a positive and welcoming environment, and I look forward to every class!

I was first introduced to Barre knowing very little about this exercise. Went to class the first day and loved everything about it. Rosanna was very welcoming and answered all my questions. I never really exercise nor dance so I was a little worried at first not being able to follow along. But I really wanted to dedicate myself to an exercise routine and I think I found the perfect place for it. I’m excited because I know this will be a transformation for me both physically and mentally. Needless to say I’m also very lucky to get to know this group of strong women that do great things for the community! If you are thinking about it, trust me, don’t hesitate, give yourself a chance!

They offer modifications for different needs, and it is a fantastic workout. The atmosphere is supportive and engaging, as both the instructors and others in the class are welcoming and friendly. I leave each class smiling, though it’s hidden behind my mask :)

As someone who has never worked out, never had an interest, always said I wasn’t good enough for it... I was invited by one of my friends to attend a class at Barre for Life in Waxhaw. I was so nervous at first. I was anxious because I’ve never attended a workout class before. But I absolutely loved every minute of it.
I’ve had sessions with three trainers so far: Rosanna, Sarah, and Hannah. All three of them are so lovely, encouraging and respectful! They made each class so unique and fun. I have done 6 classes so far and just bought a monthly membership. I am a member for life! 😊
They also offer barre classes online for people who aren’t ready for in person classes/ think they may need to quarantine. I’ve taken two of those classes already with Rosanna leading the way.
Not very surprised by this, but she is so awesome she made both classes super interactive, fun, and I still broke a sweat just like I would if I was in the studio!
I 100% recommend Barre for Life in Waxhaw for any age or athletic capability. It is such a warm, comfortable environment and they take sanitation, mask wearing, and social distancing seriously to keep clients and trainers safe.
