This is my all time favorite barre studio and I’ve been to a lot of barre studios over the past 10 years. Amazing instructors, always welcoming, fun motivating music, and new classes to always try something new. Grateful I found this studio for my barre home!

I went to Barre ALX for the first time today and absolutely LOVED it! Michaela, the owner, was so warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the whole community has such a friendly, positive vibe. Avalon was a fantastic instructor and she was super encouraging, energetic, and led a great workout. The class was challenging in the best way and left me feeling strong and energized. Truly one of the most welcoming studios I’ve been to in the area. Highly recommend giving it a try — you won’t be disappointed!

Whenever I’m traveling in Alexandria, I always try to squeeze in a class at The Barre ALX. The workouts are challenging in the best way, the vibe is upbeat, and the instructors are super welcoming. It’s got that boutique studio feel without the intimidation.

Make sure to bring your barre socks…but if you forget, no stress. They’ve got a cute little shop up front stocked with socks and fun barre gear (tempting every time).

Such a great spot to stay consistent while traveling… always leave feeling stronger and more energized.

Once I got in the studio they told me to not set up my mat in a certain spot, because they wanted to keep that space reserved for a client who’s “been a client for years”. That’s not a way to welcome a new client who paid for that class. Adding on, the room isn’t spacious so the mats are very close together if the room is full like it was that day, and the ventilation isn’t powerful either.

Such a friendly studio with a very warm and welcoming team. They had a St Patrick’s day activity in which I won a pair of sticky socks, so I loved them. Then I had an emergency and they were over the top accommodating for me….and I loved them even more! You’ll want to make this your new barre home!

I had such a positive experience at Studio Barre Alexandria. It was my first class (ClassPass) - I was greeted as soon as I walked in and notified that my station was already set up. Jean was teaching the class and she was amazing, encouraging, and intentional. I cannot say enough good things about this place; highly recommend.

This place has become such a nice community place for me. Great friends, a wonderful boutique, challenging workouts. Joining this studio full time was one of the few good things about the pandemic. It's a really warm and welcoming environment even though some instructors who shall not be named insist on making us do pull-off exercises, which is unforgivable. :-).

I absolutely love the Studio Barre Alexandria studio. The owners, Michaela and Ashley, are amazing and caring. They make you feel welcomed from the moment you set your foot at the door. The instructors, OMG!!! they are all amazing. I have not been to a “bad” class because all the instructors are good. I sometimes have to modify a lot of the exercises because of injuries (or simply my body is getting old 😂) and I don’t feel pressured to keep up with the rest of the class, I still get the benefits of the work out without the judgment for not been able to keep up. I have been doing Barre for 6 years now, but this is my first year with Studio Barre and I am happy I found this wonderful studio.

This is a jewel of a studio that I am lucky to have found. I walked in less than a year ago, frustrated with my inability to do my normal workout (rock climbing) due to a persistent injury - and somehow I am now ~200 classes in and far stronger for it.

The workouts are great – adjustable by skill level, and with modifications available for those who are in different spaces physically or mentally on any given day. More importantly, and what really makes this place special: Studio Barre is a warm, open, welcoming place. The owners and teachers have cultivated a kind and supportive community that is a joy to be a part of.

I have since rejoined my old rock climbing gym – SB ALX helped my rehab and got me back to a place physically where I could climb again. But while I’m back to climbing, I haven’t left this studio behind - SB is still a consistent and important part of my routine and a genuinely lovely neighborhood spot.

I can’t say enough about this place. If you are looking to try something that will help you mind, body, and soul, then this is your place. The atmosphere is so positive and inviting. The people are supportive and friendly. You will become a better person just by being around some of these people! Everyone-all sizes are included and you will feel like part of the community immediately. I have been going to SBALX for three years now. It’s something I have finally been able to commit to and truly enjoy doing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard! But you will see results and feel amazing.

I love it here so much. I've definitely gotten stronger since taking their classes. I appreciate the feedback from the instructors to make sure I have correct form. They have great items for sale in the studio as well including clothes, jewelry, lotion, and candles. The customer service there is phenomenal.

I have now taken a week's worth of classes at studio barre. After the first class I noticed my posture improved. After the second class I felt stronger. Now, not only do I feel stronger, but more poised and I'm already able to do exercises in class that I couldn't do a week ago. It is hard in the best way. Plus I've only had to adapt two exercises for an old sports injury, as opposed to most workout that leave my old injury aching for days to weeks.

Update: After taking classes for a month I was sold, and then I took a class with a different (new to me) teacher who was judgemental and frankly, rude. Sadly (because they were such good workouts), I haven't been back.

I absolutely love barre. I’ve been looking for a new studio for a while: I wanted one that was clean, spacious, with great instructors, kind and friendly staff (I’m a 5 class/week type of person! I need all of this to make it enjoyable!). I think I’ve found all of this at this studio! These boutique studios tend to be “cliquey” in a lot of ways from my experience, and I have not felt this at all at this studio! You go in, get a good workout, meet friendly faces and leave in a great mood! The classes are based on exercises that are very similar to the Lotte Berk Method, which is my favorite! Minimal equipment used, and challenging! I’m really happy I’ve found Studio Barre! This is a great studio for someone new to barre.

I had never taken Barre class before. I heard that it was intense, and was looking forward to it. I had been taking Boot Camp classes for 5yrs. This is so different, so difficult! So good at engaging all of the muscles, and truly supporting your joints, with very little worry about injury. The instructors are true professionals, very knowledgeable, and super friendly! Thank you Studio Barre for the introduction… I’ll be back!

Set up is the same with the warm up and different muscle groups you’re working but you don’t do the same class each time you go so i like that.

Doesn't seem like much of a workout - didn't even get me breathing heavy and did not leave me sore at all. Plus this is designed for people with no physical limitations or joint issues. The instructors teach the class without offering modifications or asking if anyone has issues. When asked, they didn't know modifications that could work out the same muscles/muscle groups for someone with issues. Disappointing.

I came to studio barre Alexandria with my wife to try something different. I enjoyed this experience and proceeded to try 5 other classes— each with different instructors. I enjoyed the classes and the difficulty of the leg and core exercises— I was often shaking and had to take a break. Additionally, I also enjoyed that the instructors provided me with cues to enhance my movement. My only critique is the musical playlists were often created on a whim.

I have taken both the hour long class and the abbreviated 45 minute quick tuck and both have a pretty intense and effective plank series. The classes move quickly with a mix of challenging postures and some working, but less intense, poses to work through arms, calves, thighs, glutei, and abs. All of the teachers I have taken are friendly and offer gentle hands on corrections to make sure you are tapping into the right muscles. The studio has cute retail space out front and a fair offering of class times, convenient/free parking. My only wish is that they had showers, but otherwise a great studio with all the desired amenities.

My workouts consist of running and HITT but I wanted something else to supplement so I decided to try Studio Barre. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I felt challenged after just one class and loved the feeling of using different muscles than in my other daily workouts. The instructor provided great assitance to keep me challenged throughout the entire class. I had to keep going back! I recommend this studio for those who would like a total core and lower body challenge. My favorite class is the 45 minute Quick Tuck Express.

Whether you are just starting out, or a seasoned fitness guru .. this place has a spot for you. Unlike some other fitness classes, barre is easily scaleable to your current needs. I was a little intimidated my first class by all the mirrors, but quickly realized no one was paying attention to me ... too busy with their own form to worry about what I could/couldn't do. Teachers are great and as a marathon runner, these classes have been INVALUABLE for my flexibility issues.

Studio Barre is my favorite barre studio in the Old Town area! All of the instructors are super nice and help you throughout the class to make sure you are doing the moves correctly. The music is great but not so blasting that you are going deaf while working out like some studios. It has good class options and convenient times too!

I have taken 5 classes here so far, and am pleased! Each class is challenging, and they are all a little different. My one recommendation is to start class on time! I believe 3 out of 5 have started late.

Super new so it is super hard, but I feel like every muscle in my body is thoroughly put to work without even moving that much. Only 4 stars, not 5 because I haven't been doing it long enough yet!

I've honestly been to almost every barre franchise there is (Pure Barre, Bar Method, Pop Physique, FlyBarre), and this studio is easily the best one of them all.

Studio Barre has a 5 star average for a reason - this place is wonderful! I started going to Studio Barre because of their promotion on Facebook, two weeks of unlimited classes for free. I'd never done a barre class before, and if I hated it, no big loss. Angela (the owner) is so welcoming, and the instructors are great - everyone makes it a point to know your name and correct your position if needed. The classes are motivating, fun, and diverse - women (and men) of all backgrounds, sizes, ages, and abilities. I've been going to barre 3-4 days a week for over two months now, and I've never been more pleased with a Facebook advertisement placing in my life.

I live directly across the street from here, so I was very excited when it opened. I starting coming July 4th weekend and just took my 100th class! I'm so happy to have finally found a workout that I truly enjoy and that gets results! The changes I've noticed in my body tell the real story. Going to Barre classes 3-4 days a week, in addition to changes to my diet, has helped me lose more than 20 pounds since the summer. I have truly found my tribe and I am stronger and happier because of it! The instructors are all great - upbeat, motivating and fun (Angela, the studio owner, and Callie are my personal favorites). So glad to have this gem in the neighborhood!

I was told to try out Studio Barre Alexandria and I am so glad that I did. The instructors are AMAZING and really make the atmosphere an enjoyable place to come to. It also helps that the workouts are no joke. I have been coming to this studio for a month now and the workouts continue to kick my butt. I can feel myself getting stronger, but I know I have ways to go and I'm happy that I finally found a place to continue that journey.

Absolutely fantastic. The staff couldn't be more friendly and fun. And then there is a darling boutique for post-barre shopping. But seriously it is a great workout and you will feel the results quickly.

I love this place so much! I'm a runner, and this workout has become my go-to for strength training. After neglecting that during training for my first marathon, I came here injured and desperate for a cross-training workout I knew I could commit to doing regularly. I come here at least 3x/week now, and my PT recently remarked at how much stronger I am than when I first saw her nearly a year ago.

As so many others here have said, Studio Barre has become a second home for me. Recovering from a serious illness, Studio Barre has helped me on my path back to health and fitness. The instructors are wonderful, and there is a real sense of community. You see all shapes, all ages, all fitness levels. When I broke my toe 2 months ago, I cried mostly because of not being able to go to barre! Love this place - can't wait to be able to go up on my toes again soon!!

I tucked and shook my way through a healthy pregnancy and bounced back to my pre-pregnancy weight within 1 month at Studio Barre. An avid runner, I realized early in my pregnancy that logging 30-50 miles/week was not going to be a reality with a growing belly, sore lower back, tiny bladder, and achy hips so looked for alternative workouts. I started at Studio Barre opening day in April when I was about 8 weeks along and kept it up, going anywhere from 3-7 days a week all the way up to delivery. Barre helped keep my weight gain in a normal range, core strength up to support my lower back, and allowed me to stay toned elsewhere as my belly popped out. All the instructors were knowledgeable about how I could make adjustments while pregnant and comfortable having the bump in class. Post delivery I could not believe how fast my body bounced back (even though I had a c section) which I hugely attribute to my pregnancy work at Studio Barre. I went back to working out at about 4-6 weeks and was back to my pre pregnancy weight and muscle toning in no time. Studio Barre has been such a wonderful environment during all these new stages in my life. From the nice, helpful instructors, to tough, focused workouts, to wonderful products and gear this place really has it all. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Thank you to Angela for putting the time and effort into creating a positive environment with an inspirational staff. Each of the instructors are very helpful with making sure that we are able to complete each exercise. If we have any questions at all or are not able to perform a movement, each instructor is willing to create a modification for us. I appreciate that when I enter Studio Barre, I am greeted by a smile and a friendly greeting. I am thankful that each of the instructors take the time to know all of our names and have a positive attitude throughout class!

I have been going to Studio Barre since it first opened and I have been so impressed with all aspects of this place. The front desk people, the instructors, and the owner, Angela are all so approachable, kind, and encouraging. This studio does not have the stuffy feel that many other local NOVA studios have. There isn't judgement in the air and they offer modifications for all abilities.

The workouts are challenging and always so fun! I don't think I've ever been to 1 class that was identical to another. Also, I always see the same people in class which is awesome because it means they have a loyal and dedicated group of fans.

I can't say enough great things about this studio and I would recommend it to anyone!

Love this studio! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into shape. I tried this and that but nothing worked for me before Studio Barre Alexandria. I gained about 35 pounds in the past few years in have been trying to lose some of the weight before my upcoming nuptials. I joined studio barre because of my upcoming wedding but I will stay afterwards because I am so pleased with the results. Not only have I lost about 2-3 inches in three weeks but I have gained a ton of strength and self confidence. All of the instructors are wonderful and very friendly, but I would recommend a class with Callie or Meghan for beginners. Callie is extremely articulate and descriptive with her instructions, which is helpful when you are learning. And Meghan is very good about giving you personalized instruction when your form is wrong, which is super impressive considering her class is normally full. Thank you to all at Studio Barre Alexandria for being so awesome!

StudioBarre Alexandria has changed my life. When I was looking to make a change in my life, I tried a few studios in the area, but it wasn't until I tried StudioBarre that I truly enjoyed the workout and looked forward to exercising. This studio is beyond welcoming and encouraging. Over the past 6 months, I have taken classes 4-5 times a week, regained my flexibility, made great friends and lost over 30 pounds. It is definitely my happy place!

I absolutely LOVE Studio Barre. I tried it with a Groupon, and I also tried another place (closer to work).. I didn't finish the classes with the other place, and have continued with Studio Barre. I've done classes with Meghan, Callie, and Amanda, and each is awesome. I'd like to take a minute to tell you why this studio is different (at least from the other that I went to, and that's the only reference point that I have): 1. hardwood floors = easier to keep clean (rugs are gross), 2. rubber (eco friendly!) mats = easy to wipe down when I sweat a bunch on it (cloth mats are not and that is gross), 3. and I saved the best for last... the instructors. Each of the three instructors that I've had have been so upbeat, encouraging, and always correct your positions. Each instructor introduced herself to me, and always asked if I had issues or questions at the end. When I had questions, they gladly helped me with them. The music is always timed perfectly, and the hour flies by. And everyone is welcome.
Off street parking has never been an issue for me. No showers, but I don't think barre studios typically have showers.
The owner is always there, super involved, and very kind.

If you are thinking about doing Barre, try it here. The staff is helpful and welcoming to everyone that comes into the studio. Instructions will take the time and make sure to introduce themselves to anyone new to the class, which is something I appreciate as someone new to the area. The studio has a diverse population, and every level of fitness is represented in all the classes. I have never felt judged or felt like an outsider at the Studio Barre. Another bonus to this studio, is they have incredible eco-friendly clothing. Even if you don't try a class, go to Studio to look at their fitness apparel.

After grouponing my way through Alexandria and Arlington barre studios, I found this one and stayed! All of the instructors are friendly and motivational and the class size is small enough that they can help you with correct form to get the most out of your workout. The location is perfect, there is always free street parking available which is not the case at any Arlington studio! Definitely try Studio Barre out if you are new to barre, new to the area, or just looking for a different and welcoming studio.

I have tried other barre studios, but Studio Barre Alexandria is the best workout around! The studio has a zen design—the decor is really relaxing and even smells like an aromatherapy spa. The owner, Angela, and instructors are very approachable, friendly and personal. They call you by name during the workout to encourage you along. They also give you personal attention to help you hold correct positions for the most effective workout. The instructors have different styles, which is great to have a choice of intensity levels. I have been going to classes since the studio opened and I have seen great results!

I took my first Barre class and loved it. I'm going to try the 2 week challenge - 6 classes in 2 weeks - to see a change. I was really nervous going in that it would be too challenging (I haven't worked out in years). The instructor was really encouraging and helped with modifications.
