barre3 Alexandria - Old Town

It’s a good workout but it’s not real barre. There’s maybe 5 mins spent on the actual barre. There’s a lot of jumping around and twisting your core muscles. I think people get hyped up with this kind of style, but you’re supposed to be doing workouts alongside the mirror or mat. There is too much crammed into one session. Pure Barre is just as bad. Enjoy it if you like to drink the Kool Aid.

Barre3 Old Town is the absolute best! The instructors are so welcoming and are all amazing. They are personable and always make you excited for and motivated to do your best! The workouts are great and different each time, I've been a member for a year and a half and I feel so much stronger and love the mindfullness piece at the end of each class. I couldn't recommend a better studio than old town!

Barre3 old town.. I don’t even have words to explain how amazing this community is! I started with this community right when they opened simply because I loved barre and it was close to my house. Immediately upon joining this studio I realized it was NOTHING like any barre class or community that I had experienced in the past. Meredith, Lindsay and all of the instructors/staff make you feel so comfortable and welcome to be there. Not only do I take barre classes for physical strength but also if not more for mental strength. These ladies,and this entire community have gotten me through so much pregnancy, post-partum and global pandemic just to name a few! I recently broke my foot but still join in on Sunday’s to listen to Lindsay’s breath work to keep me feeling positive and motivated. LOVE this studio!

I've been going to Barre3 for three years now and love this studio! All of the teachers are so welcoming and offer a great mix of challenging yet fun classes. Meredith and Lindsay have created such a wonderful atmosphere at the studio that make you excited to come back. The online classes and live zoom sessions during social distancing have been an added bonus and a great way to feel connected from home!

I love barre3 old town! I have tried pretty much every barre studio in town and this is by far THE BEST! I have also been to plenty of other barre3 studios I’m so addicted I try to go even when traveling and this studio is hands down my favorite. It’s a beautiful, spacious, sun-filled space, the teachers are incredible and play the best music, and I love the play lounge for my daughter so I can workout in peace. They also have super fun retail and frequently run fun events, challenges, and specials. And they have showers, towels, lockers, high-end products- everything you need to get ready for your day.

The Barre3 Old Town staff/community is one of a kind! The workouts are amazing and the instructors are incredibly supportive. Sports were a part of my life through college & afterwards it took me a while to find a workout that had the intensity I was looking for, while also low impact. I haven’t felt this strong since college sports and it’s amazing! I can’t thank Meredith, Lindsay, & the entire B3 Old Town team for all they do for our community.

barre3 Old Town is an amazing studio! Every time I walk in the door the staff members are all so friendly and professional. The studio is clean, bright, warm, and inviting. The workouts are killer but are also so gentle on my body. My heart rate is sky high during the whole class with the variety of movement and mix of cardio and strength. Yet this energizing total-body workout is always low-impact, which I need given some injuries. There are always multiple layers and modifications that can be taken for any individual. It truly is a workout for everyone! Led by Meredith and Lindsay, the instructors are all fantastic. They are great motivators and they know how to get the most out of you. There is a real mindfulness component to every class. I've had instructors at other places that have told us to channel our anger and rage into pushing harder. Fortunately that is NOT the philosophy here! At barre3, the motivation is intrinsic, and while workouts are intense, the atmosphere is one of joy, love, and support. They really understand what life and exercise are all about! They also have a wonderful play lounge for little ones. When I was trying to find a studio a year to join a year and a half ago, childcare was a must. They understand how important it is too. The free lockers and well-stocked showers are also wonderful perks. And I can't forget the awesome music!

Barre 3 Old Town is such a special place. I leave every class feeling super sweaty and lighter in mind and stronger in body! The teachers are fantastic and the community is really special. They make it super easy to get a challenging workout in modified to all levels and run straight to work after - as they have the best products and showers : I truly can't say enough about this studio!

Barre3 old town is the best! I’ve been taking classes here since they opened and took my 500th class just a few months ago. Meredith, Lindsay, and the whole team are so supportive. Every class is fantastic and they have the best childcare available while you workout. They’ve gone above and beyond with offering online options during the current craziness. I love connecting virtually and can’t wait to be back in the studio.

Up front: I work here as an instructor. I'm purely rating other people's classes that I've taken, not my own ;. I'm a barre convert, and have been primarily using barre as my workout method for 3 years. Barre3 in Old Town is a beautiful, fun, fresh home for people who enjoy fitness and community. The music is great, classes are challenging, and workouts are tailored to each specific person. I love how each instructor brings their own style to the classes, whether it be more of a "dancey" class, more athletic, or more vibe-y. No matter how stressed I feel when I walk through that door, I always feel better on my way out.
