  Still smiling after my 60 minute #Barre3IowaCity workout this morning with Maureen! I love this amazing women-owned studio. It has great instructors and an engaged community. Plus, it is conveniently located next to an amazing women-owned coffee place, Sidekick Coffee and Books.

  Barre3 Iowa City is so much more than a place to work out—it’s a way of being. Every class is a reminder to challenge yourself while also listening to your body and honoring what it needs in that moment. Whether you walk in feeling tired, stressed, or overwhelmed, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, stronger, and simply good in your body. The studio is bright, welcoming, and impeccably clean. The instructors are exceptional—knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping every person succeed. And the community? It’s one of the best parts. The instructors and members create an atmosphere that’s supportive, inclusive, and fun. If you’ve been thinking about trying Barre3, stop thinking and go. Run, don’t walk. You won’t regret it.

  I have been wanting to try barre for years, and got a gift certificate from a silent auction for 2 weeks unlimited classes but my anxiety and self doubt nearly prevented me from using it. I emailed back and forth with the instructors there about classes to try, and they were kind enough to give me an extension on the expiration date of the gift certificate, so I decided to give it a try and it was the best decision I've ever made. The front desk staff greeted me by name, showed me around and made me feel welcome and comfortable, and introduced me to the instructor who made me feel even more comfortable. The real selling point for me was a participant in the class; she was so kind to me and made my anxiety completely melt away. Everyone there was so nice that I just felt like I belonged. So far I've taken 9 classes (my first one was completely free) and have done the signature 45 and strength classes. I love how each instructor teaches the class differently, so it's different everytime and the playlist for each instructor is different too. I also love the diversity of the class participants and how everyone does things at their own pace with modifications as needed, and the instructors check in on you and help with poses as needed. The studio is very clean, bright, cool and welcoming and always smells amazing. My favorite part is the cooling eucalyptus towels at the end of the class. They also do fun activities like bingo and book clubs to encourage community. I came into the studio with self doubt and anxiety thinking I couldn't do this because I wasn't fit or athletic. I left feeling strong, confident and like I'd found my people. Now I'm able to carry my toddler without struggling, and go for long walks. I've also noticed my clothes fitting better, and some body confidence slowly starting to return. I'll be booking an unlimited membership, and look forward to continuing to attend as many classes as I can!
