Barre N9NE Studio

Barre N9NE Studio in Woburn has the potential to be a 5 star studio. Here is my review of certain areas – I have taken Barre at other studios, so this is my honest review after having been to other local studios.
Schedule: 5 stars incredible variety of class choice, and extremely accommodating schedule for both SAHM, and the working folk.
Location: 5 starts the location is conveniently located off the highway, ample parking
Studio: The Studio is very clean, as is the equipment. The floors are also appear to be very clean. Safe place to store belongings and clean bathroom to change if needed.
Noise: 3 star. There is room for improvement here. There are two studios and since there is no sound proofing, the two studios often have competing noise/​music, making it difficult to concentrate and sometime hear the instructor.
Sound Technology: 3 star. The students and instructors would greatly benefit from the instructors using headsets. The instructors usually have to yell over music in both studios, and lets face it, nobody likes to hear yelling. Its just overstimulating, especially in this type of class.
Instructors: 3 star I have found that some of the instructors use the class as their workout time, which is ok to a certain degree. I do think the instructors need to put more emphasis on teaching proper form, as i look around the room I often see people with poor form and it is not corrected. Having had an injury, I always make it a point to speak with the instructor prior to class, to let them know I am ok with being corrected, and also to give alternative positions. They are usually amenable to the alternative positions, however I have only once been corrected on form in a class. I think there needs to be a real focus on getting the instructors to be more aware of the participants. I do wonder if it is in the company policy/​teaching methodologies to not allow for this level of service.
Staff: 3 star: could be friendlier and more accommodating. Not super friendly. I have watched several interactions with clients, and was underwhelmed by the lack of customer service.
Classes: 5 star — the actual classes physically challenging, for newbies and experienced participants. I do have a great sense of accomplishment when I leave the studio – and thats what its all about.
Price: 4 star Barre N9Ne had reasonably priced classes in comparison to other nearby studios.
Overall: if you are already familiar with the proper techniques, and are looking for a studio with a very flexible schedule and tough classes, this studio will work well for you. I think with a few tweaks, this Barre studio would be top notch.
