Above Barre

Such a fun workout! Every instructor is amazing and so friendly. I have left every barre class satisfied.

I love Above Barre because the instructors really make an effort to get to know you and alter their workouts around what you want! It’s definitely not an easy class, but you feel so accomplished afterward and I have already started seeing results after just a few classes!

I have been attending barre classes at Above Barre for about 6 months now and absolutely love them! It is the perfect class for women looking to tone their muscles in all the right places! On top of all the classes and instructors being fabulous, the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They have become like a second family to me. I love this establishment. Try them! You will not be disappointed!

I love the classes at Above Barre. I have been going 3 times per week for 4 months and have noticed a smaller waist line, toned legs, arms, and thighs, and increased energy and flexibility. The real upside is that the workouts are so fun and it's easy to ratchet up in skill as your strength and flexibility improves. Once I found the instructors I loved, I got addicted.

Love Above Barre! I've been going 2-3 times a week for a year now and notice a huge difference! The instructors make it fun and I love that they give you 3 levels to each exercise so you can push yourself however you feel that day. Great, relaxing stretching session at the end that keeps you from getting too sore and leaves you feeling refreshed!

I had never taken Yoga, Pilates, or any type of barre class. Then, I came to Above Barre when they opened in January, and absolutely loved it! Every class is different and my whole body has seen results. The price is great too!

I love Above Barre! I came the first time because I was looking for a new, fun way to workout and Above Barre offers a free class for first-time customers. I keep coming back because I can already see results after just 3 classes--I'm more toned than I was before starting, and I'm excited to see the results to come!Also, I wanted to add that the instructors are awesome and the hour-long class flies by.

I started Above Barre 3 weeks ago and already lost 3 pounds! More importantly, I went down in waist size and my body is toned. The instructors provide a full body workout and coach you along. I enjoy Above Barre because the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. Warning: The classes are addicting!

Upon moving to the area I began researching local gyms. I was hoping to find a place that offered fitness classes that were low impact (due to my lower back troubles) but were challenging enough to provide total body results whie doing so in a friendly/warm environment. Well I was able to get all the items on my wish list by attending a class at Above Barre, and that is why I became a member right after completing my free trial class. I knew after walking in the door that I would more than likely sign up for a membership. The women at the front desk (Christy & Ashley were working the day I went in for my free class), were very inviting and friendly. The provided me with all the information and were able to answer any questions I had before beginning the workout. Christy informed me that after my workout she would take me next door to tour the Omni Club since my membership @ Above Barre also grants me a membership to any Omni Club in Athens at no additional cost. I was very pleased to find that out (2 for 1 deal!)Upon entering into the workout space I was amazed at how fresh, inviting, and clean it was. All the equipment looks brand new and the members/instructors keep it that way by wiping down all of the gear with wipes that the gym provides. Shortly after I walked in I was greeted by the instructor (1 of many that they have) who explained the workout and made sure I had all the proper equipment. The workout is an hour long and includes a warm up and a cool down (with great motivating music). It provides total body training utilizing weights, resistance bands, and at times just your own body weight. Thoroughout the workout you will target certain areas: glutes, core, hip flexors, calves, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders...etc. In addition to training your muscles, you will also work on increasing your flexibility due to the yoga/pilates style movements. It is a low impact workout but don't let that fool you. You will still get a great workout and will definitely feel the burn!! As of now I have been a member for 1 full week and have attended 4 classes. The have an assortment of instructors who all have their own workouts so it's varied, which is great because you're not doing the same workout 4x a week. Not only to help fight boredom but also to confuse your muscles! All of the instructors are very friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Also if you have any problem areas that may restrict certain movements they are great on providing modifications (and do so thoroughout the workout). After the work is done the last 5-8 minutes of class are spent cooling down which is one of my favorite parts of the class.I would highly recommend coming in to Above Barre and trying a class for free to see if it's right for you. I am so glad I did. But be aware that the classes are addicting!!

Above Barre is great! I've been seven times the past three weeks and have only had awesome experiences. I can already feel my core has strengthened and my back is stronger. The instructors are wonderful and keep each hour-long class fast paced, exciting, and packed full of different exercises (with modifications if you need it) with a very calming cool-off session at the end. And I really appreciate that they explain what muscle group we are working on. The ladies at the front desk are great, too, and always have a smile ready. I'll definitely be signing up for the unlimited monthly membership -- It is so addictive I want to go everyday! They also offer free child care and membership to the Omni Club as part of their monthly membership.
