Barre Body Pacific Beach

I’ve been going to this studio for over 2 years and I absolutely love it! I have tried numerous pilates, yoga, and barre studios all over the US and I can honestly say this is the best work out I’ve ever done. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, making sure to correct your posture and movements, to ensure you get the best results. The pace is perfect– not too fast, where you get lost and not too slow where you would get bored. Even after going regularly to classes for over 2 years, I’m always challenged and my muscles are always sore after every class.

I’ve driven past Barre Body for years but have finally been able to experience the last 6 months or so thanks to ClassPass. At first it didn’t seem as intimate and boutiquey as some of the barre studios I’ve tried, but now I’ve realized that I like BB much better! The room is big and clean and despite the large class sizes the teacher still tries to call people out by name (this is hugely motivating for me).
The workout is killer good and always provides different moves. I like the consistent routine of class (warmup, legs, seat, arms, abs) with the variation throughout. The prices can’t be beat in comparison to other pilates/​barre studios in the area.
I’m taking off a star due to not having a parking lot (give yourself an extra 15 min before class to find parking) and lack of early morning classes. I would probably ditch ClassPass and join BB full time if they had regular 5:45 or 6am classes during the week.

Great workout when you can find parking. Paid for a 5:30 class, couldn’t find parking so I left in frustration. 20 minutes going in circles at a snails pace

I hate cardio. No one hates it more than me and that’s why I really enjoy the classes here. Its a great work out without the extreme cardio. The instructors are all very nice and upbeat. The music selection is perfect for this type of class (Pop/​Edm). Prices are comparable to other barre studios I’ve looked into. They’re having a sale until Sunday for everyone (including existing clients for $ ⁴⁵⁄₅ classes or $ ⁹⁹⁄₁₀ classes)! Great time to try it if you’re curious about Barre!

I am new to PB and have wanted to try a barre class. I purchased a groupon and am SO glad I did! I’m still recovering from cuff surgery and have some knee issues so my normal swimming option is out. I have taken 2 classes and everyone is so nice and welcoming PLUS, it’s an incredible workout and totally different from triathlon training! I’ll definitely be purchasing sessions after I’ve used my groupon classes. Thanks Ladies!

If you’ve never done Barre before, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s going to be an easy workout. You’ll pay the price later with sore muscles in places you didn’t even know you had any before! I can say that most instructors here have done a good job at whipping my big butt into submission. After taking enough classes, expect to see results in the form of a perky butt, toned thighs, and abs to boot.
In addition to a great workout, you can take classes without breaking your wallet either. Barre Body offers the most reasonable prices out there at $ 16 – 17 per class. They offer classes consistently throughout the day at the same times everyday throughout the week. Instructors are patient and will take the effort to get to know you. I’m not sure if she’s still there, but Mina is ESPECIALLY friendly (and super bubbly). She took the effort to learn which students hadn’t take her class before and introduced herself up front. I was honestly very flabbergasted when she hunted me down for a greeting because who in this day and age does that?! Kudos to her for being so down to earth, care-​free, and genuine! :)
The studio doesn’t have their own personal lot, so make sure you factor in having to find street parking so you aren’t late (they are pretty lenient about letting you in late though).

What an AWESOME workout!
I tried my first barre class at this studio & man Jessica was amazing!
This is such a cool and unique workout that everyone is able to participate in, no matter what your workout level is.
It’s a full body workout so you will definitely be feeling it in the next day and the day after that lol!
This type of workout def brings me back to my dancing days and I absolutely loved it.
(Get there a little early bc parking it a biotch)
Only con: the room has carpet! (Weird)

Came here through the Wildfire app and man am I happy I did! It was my first time ever taking barre and it was such a nice experience. I walked in and the staff was very friendly and explained to me what to expect and right away I was introduced to the instructor! I assumed this would be a bare foot class, I was wrong, luckily they had lender socks!
The studio was nice and large and the class was pretty big. Even with a large class the instructor did a great job checking everyone’s form and moving us through the workout. I left sore and wanting to take more barre! The classes seemed affordable compared to other studios I had looked at so if you want to have a great class at a great price come here!

What a great first barre experience! Immediately, I was greeted by a friendly staff and introduced to the instructor.
It was a great work out! They tell you to expect shaking and they aren’t joking. Each movement isolates a different part of your body and gives you a great workout. I walked home and headed up the stairs and could immediately feel the burn from class!
I really liked that the instructor memorized everyone’s name. It was really impressive. During the class, she would shout out different people for their form and it was really motivating!
I loved coming here and also loved the cleanliness of the facility. Great class!

Checked out this studio using the FitN App (now called Wildfire) & so happy I did, otherwise I wouldn’t have known abt this little place!
This studio is located next to Spirit Yoga & across from CorePower, making a trifecta of fitness! They don’t have their own parking lot, so that really sucks if you’re rushing to class after work like me. Had to circle around a couple times and was almost late. I recommend getting there as early as possible so you can park & pick your spot/​weights/​etc.
With some sort of dance background (ballet/​jazz/​tap) using the barre as a workout was both familiar, comforting and a reminder of how much a PAIN in the ass pre-​floor barre warm up was! Within the first 5 minutes, my legs were literally shaking! I love how the movements are so minuscule but seriously pack a punch and isolate your muscle groups. The instructor was super encouraging and fun, and the hour class flew by. I also like how they incorporate stretching throughout. I was a bit surprised that the floor was carpeted since I know they do ‘hot’ barre so… Is everyone’s sweat just soaked in the carpet?! But it didn’t smell bad, seemed clean, & actually made my workout more comfortable during planks, push ups, getting my ass beat, etc.
The girls here that work here are super sweet and instantly made me feel welcome. Before class the instructor (Jessica) introduced herself to me, then throughout the class she remembered my name and yelled out words of encouragement/​tips. I love it when instructors are attentive!
The only other con besides parking would be the fact that since there is only one instructor, it’s difficult to go around correcting everyone’s form. In other barre classes I’ve taken, there have been multiple girls helping out in the class besides the main instructor to ensure that we have the correct form so we are getting the maximal benefit from our workout! However, the instructor would call out tips and corrections so it was still helpful and kept us on our toes (literally!).
Tip: bring socks and a water bottle. Luckily they have a water jug & extra socks if you forget!
Overall a very fun and intense workout. I seriously got my butt kicked and can’t wait to come back!

I take barre classes all around san diego. Effective workout. My only suggestion get rid of the awful remix music playlists. Please!

Big, big fan of Barre Body– this was actually the first Barre studio I had ever attended and I immediately loved the classes and the staff/​instructors. Honestly, the only critic that I could give is that I’d love it if they added some more routines/​class formats :)

Excellent workout, with a bit more focus on upper body, and more traditional ballet stances for lower-​body work (e.g., half-​toe, where you are working balanced on the balls of your feet, with your arch forced high). More options here for different levels of workout with each exercise, based on what you can do. My instructor was Tiana — she was top-​notch!

I almost don’t want to write a raving review because I want to be selfish and keep this place all to myself. But I’ll be fair: I’ve tried about a thousand Groupons and this is the only thing I’ve been able to stick to past two classes. Yoga and Pilates are just soooo boring.
Jessica, Holly, and Nicole are amazing! They do such a good job at kicking your behind in the best way possible. I’ve been going about 4 – 6 times a week for 3 weeks and have seen major differences in my appearance and the way I feel. For those of you who can’t stand the thought of dance (like myself) don’t worry– Aside from a little bit of posture stuff, this class is pretty unrelated to dance.
Prices are really fair, the facilities are clean, class is very structured and organized. I definitely recommend you try it out!
Tip: bring water and socks.

tried hot barre for the first time last night and i really enjoyed it. the class was pretty typical of most barre classes except they start out with the thigh and glutes then do weights and core after– it also seemed like there were less yoga like moves but im sure every instructor/​class is different. I really enjoyed the hot aspect of this– room is set to 88 degrees and its just warm enough to really loosen your muscles but not unbearable to breathe in. I got an outrageous sweat in and was really able to lengthen my stretches. parking isnt ideal and the facility isnt the newest/​cleanest looking studio but the instructor was great– i will def be back.

This is the best workout ever! Everyone there is very knowledgeable and encouraging. You can tell they really love what they do.
I have done many different workouts in my 50 plus years. There’s nothing better than this one! It’s such a pleasure going to a place where everyone is so sweet but pushing me to my limit at the same time. Thanks to all you ladies at the barre!

I had not had a steady work-​out routine in years until I found barre body! This class is perfect for women who want to work on problem areas such as glutes, thighs and abs, but also sculpt arms and calves.
It is $ 10 for your first class (so not a big commitment). The instructors are bubbly and very encouraging. The work-​outs are very easy to follow. The difficulty of these work-​outs comes from the use of resistance bands, weights and long/​sustained positional holds (i.e. planks). Be prepared to experience targeted body shaking. This is encouraged by instructors as it is a sign your muscles are fatiguing.
After my 1^st time (a hot barre class ~88 F), I was hooked. My roommate and I bought a membership ($ 100). Although I practiced different types of dance since I was in elementary school, you do not need (or stand out) if you do not have dance background. My roommate and many of my co-​workers who have joined me have no dance background and enjoy it just as much as I do.
Tips:
–Sign up online at
a few days in advance. There are only about 15 spots for each class and if you try to sign up the same day you will get put on the waiting list.
–Bring socks.

I love this studio, which is conveniently located right on Garnet in PB! Parking is always easy to find. The class is very structured (warm-​up, calves, arm warm-​up with push-​ups, thighs, «seat», arms with weights, abs, and final stretch), which I really enjoy… it’s nice to mentally prepare yourself for what’s coming next! The music can get a little repetitive if you go often, but sometimes the instructors play new mixes! The studio is incredibly clean and the instructors are always super friendly, and they try to know everyone’s name and encourage each person several times throughout class. It’s a great full-​body workout! I just wish they had a few more afternoon times for those of us who don’t enjoy waking up before 10 am :)

Talk about a workout! Who would think the small movements hurt the most. The instructors are encouraging and energetic. the music is great. I had a groupon for this place and will definately come back when my package is finished.

Went to my first class today at Barre Body, I’ve done barre workouts before back in NorCal though. Loved it! The receptionist was very friendly and everything was very clean and bright. The music was upbeat and motivating and I really enjoyed it! It kicked my butt, in a good way!
Much needed workout. There were women of all ages and sizes there and it was a great environment. Definitely recommend, it’s $ 10 for your first class, and make sure you ask about the student discount if you want to continue!
