I'm so happy I found Angela and The Good Barre! I love the small group class format. Every class is different and challenging. I appreciate that Angela keeps everyone's needs in mind while doing the class and offers modifications if needed. I have been going for a few months now, and feel a lot stronger already!

When I found out I’d be in Portland for work, I *knew* I had to make an in-studio class at The Good Barre happen! I’ve taken Angela’s OnDemand classes and already knew her to be one of the best barre instructors; her focus on form, thoughtful layering, strategic choreography, and upbeat style had me hooked from the start.

But meeting her and moving with her crew in person? Pure magic ✨ The music was on-point, her cues were meticulous, and even the smallest adjustments made a huge difference. It absolutely made my work trip to take class with this barre queen!

Whether you're in Portland and can make it to her studio, or join her OnDemand, I can promise you'll feel the burn in the best way🔥

Angela is magnificent. She's incredibly skilled, committed and sensitive to the unique needs of each person in class. She runs a tight ship and we all benefit. She's hilariously funny and generous to a fault. I've been attending her classes for a few months and i find myself inhabiting my body is a whole new way. I'm stronger. more flexible. better balanced and more aware. Of course i hope you don't believe me because i love being able to get on the schedule in the same week.

I love Angela's barre classes. Her approach is fun and creative, and very intentional. After the first class I knew how fortunate I was to have found her! Classes are a solid and challenging workout but she is accommodating to all levels and provides such great feedback to better your form and overall experience.

Just discovered this gem of a place and it’s everything I have always wanted. Small classes. Close to my home. And a great workout! I was sore after my first class (a good sore)! Angela is truly the kindest human. She helps correct your form if you are doing things incorrectly, which I appreciate. She also has a great sense of humor!

This was my first live barre class ever and it was a great experience! I went with a friend and we had a wonderful time. It was a very welcoming, low key studio environment and I felt very comfortable there. The workout was so hard, but the beautiful barre moves made it seem a little less grueling. Thank you Angela! See you for the next one ☺️

Angela is the kindest and most engaging instructor I have ever moved with! She is both thoughtful and intelligent in her movements with her beautiful creative classes she shares with us. Her approach to teaching is mindful, meaningful and intentional so our bodies feel well taken care of while gaining grace and strength. She truly deeply cares about each and everyone one of her clients and I am soo grateful I found her and her workouts.

This is a killer workout, but the class also seems to fly by! I'd never taken barre classes before, and Angela is the perfect instructor for both newbies like me and people more experienced. The small class size allows her to give individual tips and attention, and the environment is fun and low-pressure. I'd recommend this class to anyone, especially other postpartum mamas looking for a good workout!

Angela is an absolute professional!! Her classes are always different and super fun. I love her energy and she is knowledgeable about Barre. I love going to her classes. My body is getting super toned after only a few months with The Good Barre.

This class was amazing! I am so sore in areas I have never been sore before but, the time that Angela took to focus on stretching really helped!

It was only me at the 10:30am Sunday class but Angela was still so excited to basically give me a personal training session and keep me laughing and happy through the whole lesson! I’ll definitely be back!

I’d recommend this class to anyone who wants to try barre or is just looking for some fitness class to improve their balance, flexibility, and stamina! This specific instructor / owner is so welcoming and so sweet with those who have never tried barre before in my experience.

I’ve been to a lot of barre, Pilates, and other workout classes and Angela’s are some of my favorite. Her classes are always challenging enough to get a great workout, but they’re also 100% judgment free so I never feel weird taking a break or modifications. And she puts so much care and thought into developing the classes and awesome playlists so they’re never boring. In fact I’m often surprised how quickly the time goes by! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great workout in a fun, easygoing environment.

This was my first class with Angela, and it was AMAZING! I live in California but was in the Portland, Oregon, area for the holidays and was recommended to try one of Angela's classes, and I am so glad that I did. She cues you perfectly to make sure you are in the correct body position; she gives you different options for every move to make them easier or harder, she provides all of the equipment you could need, and she will make sure you are as comfortable as possible while also pushing you. I will 100% be coming back to take classes every time I am in the Portland area. Even if you are nervous and just starting to get back into fitness or workout twice daily, you should try one of these classes; I promise you will get hooked!

This is an incredible workout! It's definitely a challenge but Angela provides just the right amount of support and motivation - the playlist helps too. I'm currently pregnant and appreciate that she showed me safe modifications. Feeling stronger already!

I was looking for a low impact workout (online classes). I have to admit the offer is huge, I tried different apps, methods and instructors...Then I've found The Good Barre. Angela is a great teacher, she cues movements with accuracy, bringing awareness to particular muscles or body parts. The library is full of contents, there's a wide choice of recorded classes (I prefer the 60min ones, but there are also shorter sessions). I love The Good Barre because it's a place for everybody, where I can strengthen my body through slow and mindful movements. Angela is also very creative, each class is a surprise, it's never boring! She always shows alternative options for beginners, so that everybody can follow the class and evolve at his own pace.
Many thanks Angela for your classes and commitment, it's always a pleasure moving with you!

Angela of The Good Barre is honestly one of THE best teachers around! Having followed Angela for some time on Instagram my love of the original barre class *Lotte Berk* and the fact Angela had trained with TLM meant I was eager to try not only this class, but The Good Barre barre classes also. The level of knowledge and understanding of not only barre and Lotte but also the human body, movement and a bloody great track list is the icing on the cake for me!! Angela embodies all that a great teacher should be ;-) she's with you every plie, pulse or lunge and she shows up consistently - which is an annoyance I have with a lot of teachers / on-demand, not updating regularly: BUT you're covered with Angela - she is consistent and has loads of options available when you need them.

On-demand is fab! never any issues with the videos, sound always great along with overall instruction and guidance.

Live Stream is a great added bonus!! and I really try not to miss the lives as it adds a whole other dimension to the practice and it is fun to be connected via zoom too.

This is a genuine appreciative review for one of my fave teachers - this woman is fabulous teacher and an incredible human who will give you her time, focus and dedication and sees you and nurtures you as a student.

100% recommend The Good Barre

As one of the few Barre instructors trained in both the original Lotte Berk method and more modern methods of Barre, choosing Angela's On Demand platform was a no brainer. The platform has hundreds of videos featuring both methods - no muscle is left untouched. I love that the classes are strength based with no impact but still manage to get your heart rate up. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and puts 110% into all her classes. I'm very excited about the addition of more Live Stream classes. I just wish I lived in Portland so I could take classes in person too. Thank you Angela!

The Good Barre classes are wonderful. Angela’s classes are curated thoughtfully and each one is different, but always gets the whole body (and mind) integrated. You can tell she loves her work and puts time and energy into it. Angela is patient, mindful, informative, really cares, and practices all she teaches. Her subtle cues help me
Immensely. Her studio space is clean and organized. I am lucky to have found this gem studio.

Angela is a great instructor; for all levels and types! What I love the most is she changes things up a lot so I never get bored and I don’t know what to expect, which is good. She is really creative with all kinds of props as well. So glad I found her!

I’m an on demand customer who can say this really is the good barre. I had tried four other streaming barre services before this one. Angela’s passion for fitness is contagious and her discipline when it comes to putting out content for us is above all. If you love authentic Lotte Berk barre that gets the job done, in a way that works for the time you have - this is for you!
