If you’re looking for a truly excellent barre experience, come to this studio! I came for my first ever barre class with two friends and didn’t know what to expect. Alexander went out of his way to learn all of our names, and was so encouraging and supportive while also assuring us that it was ok to take breaks. And, he played great music! Class was very challenging but so much fun; you can tell there is a real sense of community within the studio. I will definitely be back!!

Alexander is a true professional. He keeps class simple and well paced to ensure that every member is in the correct position, working within their ability, and getting the most out of each movement. Unlike the chain workout brands where full classes are the main objective, Alexander provides individualized instruction to ensure proper alignment and opportunity. I am confident that I am getting stronger without the risk of injury. The results are evident.

Alexander's barre class is the true definition of what you want from a barre studio - a legit barre class in its purest form. This unadulterated barre class has all the features of barre, targeting and firming a multitude of muscles, stretching the body to lengthen it, and building up core strength. This class is barre non 10/10!

Alex is knowledgeable about Barre exercises, correct positions, and cares about those attending his classes. Plus the new location on Park Avenue is welcoming and spacious. He has been my teacher for years and I highly recommend him.

Alexander’s barre class is next-level. He has such an incredible understanding of the body and always knows how to give the right corrections to help you get the most out of every move. He makes it tough (your muscles will burn), but he's also fun, super clear, and will make you laugh - so the time flies. I always leave feeling stronger and better. Total favorite!

Love this studio! Alexander and Barbara give classes with great attention to alignment and full body strengthening. Alex, with a background in theater and dance, always adds warmth and humor to his classes…along with fantastic music. I always come out of class feeling lighter (even if a bit sore!) and healthier. Highly recommend them as it is truly the Best Barre workout!

This barre class is a five star full body work out.
It’s always challenging even after 5 days in a row.. I feel stronger and have noticed significant changes in my body. When I am in NYC I never miss an opportunity to attend! 🤩

Best barre class in the city, no question. My friend who is a Pilates instructor brought me and I was so impressed. Real results, great energy, and Alexander’s adjustments make all the difference. He’s also just so incredibly genuine, kind and funny.

I have worked with personal trainers for over two decades and this is by far the best workout experience I've had. Three key things set this apart:
* Variety. While the basic elements in each class are the same, Alexander mixes them up for every class and introduces new routines. It's never the same and always a new challenge.
* Full Body. From shoulders to calves, every muscle gets a good work out.
* Proper Technique. Alexander provides constant oversight and correction to ensure that one's form is proper so as to avoid strain and injury. For those of us with back or other issues, he suggests alternatives that still work the relevant muscles without undue stress.
Highly recommended!

Alexander is the best barre/anything instructor working in NYC right now! I can say it because I've been doing barre classes for the last 20 years, and I've tried (and loved) them all, but Alexander is the best. His classes fly by, and have the best mix of intense focus on particular muscle groups mixed with amazing stretching. He also gives the most positive and helpful comments to help your positions get better. I started to see and feel changes in my body after only a couple of classes. Couldn't recommend Barre None more!

I started taking Alexander’s class a few weeks ago because I teach down the street and kept passing their sign! As an instructor myself, I have been craving this type of full body workout. It is one of the hardest barre classes I have ever taken, and truly targets every muscle fiber! Alex is an amazing instructor and offers hands on feedback that allows you to effectively move through each rep feeling strong and aligned. The flow of the class is great because we also get stretches in between the really challenging blocks. I will definitely keep coming back!

This is a workout unlike any other, with a teacher who is extremely knowledgeable about the body, extremely caring about each student, and leads classes that are both serious and fun simultaneously. The studio itself is lovely and pristine. I can’t recommend Alexander and Barre None highly enough and I would encourage everyone to come and experience class for yourself.

BestWorkout Barre None truly lives up to its name! Alexander is an amazing teacher. His humor and charisma help the class move quickly. He and Lancelot watch and correct your form to prevent injuries and help you get the most out of each exercise. They do yoga stretches between each segment to stretch the muscles just worked. You'll be sore after the class, but it's a "good sore." I'd choose Barre None over a personal trainer any day!

Alexander's class is a very thoughtful and comprehensive experience. The class addresses every part of the body, all in harmony. At the end of each class I feel my physical and emotional self are in balance.. As a teacher, Alexander provides personal attention and corrections throughout the 60 min class.

I have bounced around to different barrre classes intermittently over the years and now that I have found Alexander, I am never leaving! He is incredibly knowledgeable, in amazing shape himself and so encouraging to newcomers. I look forward to his class and it flies by and I know I have gotten a stellar workout.

Shhhh it’s the best hidden barre gem in NY. I hesitate to leave this review because I have confidence that it will soon become the “ go to “ barre studio in the city and I won’t be able to get into a class! If you are looking for intelligent, safe, thoughtful exercise, this IS the place. Alexander DeJong is a real pro, as are Barbara and Lance. Well trained, experienced and kind professionals will lead you in a session of strengthening, toning, stretching and becoming in touch with your deep core. I am also a barre and Pilates teacher and I am thrilled to recommend Barre None for your best workout.

It really is the best barre class!! Alexander and all of the instructors he brings in are so attentive to detail. As a former ballet dancer, I’ve spent years searching for a workout that challenges/refines/maintains my body, prevents injuries and makes me feel great. BARRE NONE delivers all of that and more. The workouts are intense yet low-impact, leaving me feeling stronger, longer, and more aligned. Plus, the intimate studio atmosphere makes it feel like a best-kept secret. Whether you have a dance background or not, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommend!

There is truly no better full-body workout than this. I leave feeling stronger, longer, and more energized every time, and can't imagine a more efficient approach to activating every muscle in your body in just 60 minutes. This is truly the pro league.

Took a class with Alexander. He was patient and took the time to assist me (I'm not an experienced barre student) while not interrupting the rest of the class. I highly recommend Barre None and Alexander for both advanced and beginner Barre enthusiasts.

If you're looking to improve your flexibility, strength, and posture, I highly recommend incorporating a ballet barre workout into your daily routine. Alexander walks around the class for 60 minutes and does hand on guidance to every student!
It is an incredible full-body workout that targets muscles you didn't even know you had. The combination of controlled movements, balance, and strength exercises helps tone your legs, sculpt your core, and improve overall posture.
I’ve been loving the way it challenges my body in a way that feels both graceful and intense. It’s perfect for building lean muscle and increasing flexibility, and the best part? It’s accessible for all levels! Whether you're new to ballet or a seasoned pro, the exercises are easily modifiable to suit your abilities.

I've consistently attended Alexander's Barre classes for many many years - from his time as an instructor at Exhale to now at Barre None. I never liked to exercise much, but with Alex as an instructor, it is always fun, fresh, and enjoyable. The class is challenging for beginners (in a good way) as well as experts. Each class targets all muscle groups, utilizing free weights as well as isometrics and stretching. The music and movement keeps the class fast moving and is over before you know it!

I am a Philadelphia native and a Pilates instructor. When I come to NYC, I always take an exercise class. Alexander's class at Barre None is my new favorite! His choreography, attention to form, music and energy, leave you wanting more. Your glutes, abs and hamstrings will thank you too! Definitely an amazing full body workout!
