Barre3 is an efficient and effective workout that combines strength, cardio, and mindfulness, designed to teach people to be balanced in body and empowered from within. When you work out with us, you’ll move through low-impact isometric moves, large-range cardio bursts, and mind-centering breath work. Barre3 instructors will challenge you to find your edge while creating space for you to define what success looks like for you in every workout.
I have been going to Barre 3 Raleigh for nine years and have completed close to 2,000 classes. Since I retired 1 1/2 years ago, I have been attending Barre 3 for a 60 minute class, 7 days a week. The facility is clean, bright, appealing, and uplifting. The staff members are super courteous, inviting, and helpful. I cannot say enough fantastic things about the highly skilled, trained, and entertaining instructors. They push me, challenge me, and make exercise really fun. I am in my 60s and feel I have good energy and stamina, and am relatively fit for my age.
The true test for me was when I had foot surgery five weeks ago. I will be non-weight bearing on the right side for up to four months. Thank goodness for all the balancing on one foot and Warrior 3 moves we do regularly (and that I roll my eyes about)! I can stand on my left leg and dip down to pick up a ceramic bowl full of water for my cats. Yay, Barre 3, and thank you to my favorite exercise studio in the entire world!
P.S. My Barre 3 friends have been bringing me casseroles and cookies during my recovery. I feel a very strong sense of community at Barre 3 Raleigh.
