City Barre

I’ve been taking barre classes in Richmond for over ten years and City Barre has been the studio that makes me feel most at home. The studio is gorgeous and welcoming; Gretchen and the instructors always have a smile to greet you and they know everyone by name. Classes are challenging, the music is great and every day feels different. After all this time, I still wind up with sore muscles after class, so you know you’re gonna get a great workout!!

City Barre is just a fabulous place for a great workout and community! Each class is different and challenging, the instructors are excellent and Gretchen is the best! Even if you don't consider yourself a ballerina or remotely flexible, come for a class, you won't regret it.

After trying other barre studios in the Richmond area for the past 5 years, I was so impressed with the high level of professionalism, client focus, and high level instruction provided at City Barre, I bought a year long membership after just a few classes!! The studio culture is warm and inviting- they’ll know your name from the first class, and the decor of the studio space has been designed to a “T” and is always a place I feel like going! If you’re looking for a client focused studio with instructors who continually grow/pursue deeper level-precise barre instruction with a cool atmosphere- City Barre is IT!

I’ve done group classes for over a decade in Richmond and Gretchen’s studio is by far the best in town. Classes are varied and incredible, the studio is spotless and beautiful, and she had the best staff in town. There’s no other place like City Barre in town.

BEST studio in Richmond! The SPACE is fantastic - super clean, beauty coming from the decor and the plants - feels like working out in your friend’s living room. The OWNER, Gretchen, is great - she truly cares about each and every member, will learn your name the very first time you come to the studio, creates unique workouts every single day, and hosts lovely social events so members can get to know each other. ALL OF THE INSTRUCTORS rock - everyone brings super high energy to every class, offering options for the various moves so you can work at your pace. BEST OF ALL: I feel stronger and better than I have in a long time, since starting to take classes in April 2022. AND my clothes fit better. Come to City-Barre once and you will want to keep coming back.
