I love The Barre Code - EL! I’m a bit of a larger human and I don’t love sweating, But when I came to The Barre Code, I found something special! I love all of the class formats. Brawl is my absolute favorite. There’s a little bit of choreography involved in brawl and they teach it to you throughout the course of class! It’s super hard it’s so confusing! But it’s so so worth it! So I tell people when I can tell it’s their first brawl class to come back! Because it gets easier the next time maybe not easier but you understand it better! Anyhow! Long story short I am not a gym type person and I have been coming to TBC- East Lansing going on three years now! I love it they accept me, they have modifications for what I can and cannot do, and always focus on progress. I always feel stronger when I leave. Anyhow! I am at class pretty much every day Monday through Friday at 6 AM! And if you want to give TBC a chance there’s a good likelihood that I will be there! And I will be cheering you on! I love seeing new people join our club!

This gym is truly a place where everyone belongs. The Barre Code is an inclusive gym that embodies its mission, but the location in East Lansing is exceptional. I found home here upon joining in June of 2019. I thought an 8 pack of classes would carry me along and I was wrong—after one month I switched to an unlimited membership and never looked back. As someone who has traditionally dreaded exercise and done it to check a box, I can’t tell you how much Barre Code East Lansing has changed that for me. Every fitness level is accepted, and instructors are expertly trained to provide the most welcoming fitness experience. I have never felt more at home or welcomed at a gym. It is not about becoming the smallest version of yourself, but rather the strongest. With diverse types of classes offered, no matter where you are on your fitness journey you can find a place here. The owner has done everything in her capacity to provide diverse health and wellness options amidst Covid and has consistently demonstrated best practices to keep all clients safe and informed. 10/10 recommend!

I am in love with The Barre Code East Lansing! I moved to the area last year from Grand Rapids and was nervous to try somewhere new. The owner, Michelle, gave me the warmest welcome and it wasn’t long before I felt completely at home there. Sometimes the hardest part is walking through the doors your first time but I promise you, you won’t regret it after you do!Amazing workout, even better people. Five stars. Period.

The Barre Code of East Lansing is one of THE best studios I have ever been too. The coaches are so motivating, kind and empowering to every single person in the class. No class is ever the same & the workouts are challenging both physically and mentally. Love TBC community 💛💛 …

The Barre Code East Lansing does not only have amazing workouts, but also an amazing community. From the instructors, to the clients to the staff members everyone is so nice and welcoming! The Barre Code has a variety of different classes from traditional barre, strength training, bootcamp, and also Brawl- which is their cardio kick boxing format. One of my favorite things about the Barre Code is that it is NOT a gym that focuses on losing weight or calories, but rather a place that focuses on "me time" and becoming stronger for yourself. As a college student at MSU, I have found the Barre Code to be an amazing place for me to destress after a long day of school. I truly could not imagine my college experience, let alone my life without the Barre Code.

The barre code East Lansing is the most amazing gym I’ve ever been to. The instructors make you feel extremely welcome when you first start going, and immediately make you feel strong, powerful, beautiful, and a part of the barre code community. It is a little on the pricy side, but let me tell you when I say it is WELL worth it. It feels like you are hanging with your best friends while getting in a sweaty workout, and you will feel gratitude all day afterwards.

The Barre Code East Lansing is more than just a workout studio, it’s a positive and uplifting community that is open to all fitness levels. I could not say enough great things about this place! The owner, instructors, staff, and members are some of the nicest and most inspiring people I’ve ever met. I love that TBCEL offers multiple different workout formats and props to create challenging yet rewarding classes. I always leave class feeling energized and with a smile on my face. I HIGHLY recommend checking TBCEL out!!!

I honestly wouldn’t make time for a workout if it wasn’t for the barre code East Lansing. The instructors know you by name and help motivate you to power through each workout. The environment is filled with positive and encourages strength above all else. The actual class formats are wonderful- I can have a high intensity workout like boot camp and brawl on days I just want to feel powerful or a more low impact workout like barre on the ones that I know a workout will make me feel better.The facility is clean and offers a station to help you clean up after class
