Ive taken barre at 2 other studios and I like this one the best. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and professional, they dont blast the music so loudly that I feel the need to wear ear plugs and everyone is very friendly. Classes are good for people at most levels of fitness--not crazy hard for beginners and there are always modifications to make the workout more challenging.

Top class gym with a great staff. I enjoy my work out classes. The machines are top notch as well!

I am an avid lifter and have found that Barre workouts are a great compliment to balance my weight lifting routine, especially with the flexibility gains! This place is fantastic as is the staff, Lauren is a great instructor and thoroughly enjoy my workouts with her! Highly recommend to anyone of any fitness level, you will be pleased with the results both physically and mentally!

I have had such a great experience at OpenBarre. I like to try out different types of workout classes and studios. I have learned that barre isnt my favorite type of work out, but I could tell after my first class at OpenBarre that perhaps I hadnt had the best experience in the past because I was surprised at how much I began to like the classes. The instructors are all welcoming and laid back. The classes have enough variety to keep me interested. They have implemented strict COVID protocols. At the time of this review, they have some classes outdoors, and the indoor classes require proof of vaccination and masking. All of the classes Ive been to have been small (most of the time only a 2-3 other people) and I havent seen a big increase in attendance when the university is in session. They also have everyone disinfect equipment after each class. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Have truly fallen in love with OpenBarre. It is such a warm and welcoming space, and love each workout I have ever taken.

The staff is always friendly and helpful no matter what location. It’s always clean and everyone is always 6ft apart which is a plus

Cannot say enough good things about OpenBarre Studios. Their online classes have kept me sane during this quarantine and i look forward to going back for in person classes as soon as we can! I started going to in person classes earlier this year and in just a few months feel so much stronger. The online classes offer great variety and there are always new classes popping up to keep the work outs interesting and different. Love the instructors and love OpenBarre!

OpenBarre is a great workout and community to be a part of. I love this low impact workout, it’s greatly helped with back and leg pain that I was having and helps create strong and lean muscles. All the instructors are so kind and motivating. This is my favorite workout. And now their online classes help me stay fit while staying safe at home.

I rave on & on about OpenBarre to my friends and family for good reason- I have fallen in love with this studio! Its women-fun and women-led which I LOVE and Lauren (founder) really prides herself on creating a community in the area. The classes are a great size, equipment new and clean, and instructors are brilliant! They have new exercises and fun equipment to play around with every time Im there. Couldnt recommend it more.

I have loved every single class I have taken at Open Barre. It is the perfect workout! The instructors are wonderful, too. The schedule is very flexible which makes it so easy to attend any class, especially as a student. I am so excited to keep taking classes! This environment is truly unmatched. Thank you, Open Barre!!

OpenBarre barre classes are one of my favorite workouts and I always look forward to their classes. The instructors are challenging and incredibly motivating, and you leave the class knowing you had a great workout. Just after a few classes, I noticed a difference in my strength and flexibility, and feel like I have been sculpting my body without the bulk. I also love that each class is unique in its own way, and no two classes are ever the same.

I started going to OpenBarre in College Park on New Years Day and have really been loving it. The strengthening and stretching has been hard but good - i keep saying to myself after each class, I can only get stronger, right?! The studio has a very positive vibe both physically (lots of light, variety of music) and more importantly interpersonally (very welcoming and friendly). I was pleasantly surprised by the mix of ages, races, body types, and ability levels. The teachers are mostly around half my age, but they are very encouraging of each student to work at her (or sometimes his) own ability level. As a busy mom, the thing that makes it really feasible for me to commit to exercise here is the flexibility to choose the days and times Im able to come each week - that is rare and very appreciated. There are multiple classes, seven days and evenings a week.

This place is so open and welcoming to people of all fitness levels and ages! I began coming here having not worked out for 3 years after the birth of my child. The instructors are encouraging and provide modifications to moves if youre not up for the full activity on that day. If you stop and rest for a bit, the instructors dont call you out and no one else in the studio even notices. OpenBarre has made me more flexible and stronger and I always leave the classes feeling like I got a great workout and feeling like I pushed myself as hard as I could that day. And, I love that there are so many different types of classes! Its always possible for me to find something that interests me.

I have been doing crossfit for a couple years now and this box is my favorite thus far. The equipment and facility itself is well-kept and organized. They have so much equipment that you dont find too often in other gyms. I cant say enough positive things about the coaches here.

This place is AMAZING! It is boosting my health, mentally and physically, and is a great thing to do with friends!! I go around 5 times a week now because I love the instructors, the various classes and overall how it leaves me feeling. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing studio with amazing instructors! I’ve been going for 3 months and the classes have been the most fun group workouts ever! Great, low-impact workouts and all the instructors know how to modify as needed. Best money I’ve spent on exercise classes!

I’m so glad I found OpenBarre! I don’t have enough good things to say about this place. All the classes and instructors are top notch—you feel comfortable and welcome while getting a great workout. I am currently pregnant and was a bit hesitant about what exercises I would be able to do—the instructors worked with me and provided me with various modifications to keep me and baby safe.

I’m so excited to be a part of the OpenBarre community. Lauren has been so welcoming and intentional, and after classes I’ve felt strong and empowered. Grateful to have such a great studio minutes from home.

Ive been coming to classes at Open Barre for nearly three months now, and I tell literally everyone I know how great this place is! The instructors are super lovely across the board--theyre constantly creating new routines so nothing is stale and are really encouraging. I always leave feeling really happy and like I got a great workout. Theres a nice variety of classes to pick from and the studio is super clean.

Excellent workout! Every class is challenging in its own way. The instructors are great, each with their own style and energy. Ive yet to take a class I didnt enjoy.

I have been to a few classes now, and I have had a different instructor almost every time. They all have been amazing and create a very comfortable environment. I have had a lot of fun so far and really enjoy coming to Open Barre!

All of the instructors are awesome and very welcoming. Each class is different, it is never boring!! Im glad I found a place of exercise like OpenBarre Studios to make my College Park experience even better.

This place has become a second home for me in the past several months. Ive been a runner historically, but wanted to switch things up a bit so decided to try a group fitness class. Enter OpenBarre. The classes are incredibly challenging (and rewarding!) and the instructors are very friendly and encouraging. Lauren, in particular, is the studio owner and an instructor and is wonderful from the time you reach out to inquire about a class to when shes pushing your muscles at the bar.Ive always been very active, but barre challenges my body to perform in a totally unique (and awesome) way. Im hooked and couldnt recommend it more!

Open Barre is a great workout and place. The cost to join is reasonable and there are always contests to keep you coming back. They have awesome instructors who are very positive and motivating.

Great studio with super warm and welcoming instructors. They offer a good mix of classes, all of which provide a challenging workout, while still being adjustable for all fitness levels. Highly recommend.

Open Barre is not only a great workout, but also a great community! I dont go super often but I always feel welcomed, its a great place. Highly recommend!

I love OpenBarre. I’ve been going For about a year and it keeps getting better. Every class is different so you never get sick of it. It’s always challenging in the best way. Lauren and all of the instructors are awesome. You can’t go wrong with any of the classes. The classes are affordable and that’s a great perk.

A challenging and self-fulfilling workout! My mood is exponentially better for the day after completing a workout here. The instructors are friendly and real and the studio is warm and inviting!

OpenBarre has been helping me stay in shape for more than a year now and I credit Lauren and her team with regaining my core strength back after having two kiddos (no small feat). Although it burns (oh yes, those holds get me every time), it doesn’t jiggle 😂 and for that I am forever grateful. Love everything about this studio and the awesome community it’s built. Thanks #OpenBarre ❤️❤️❤️

I have just recently started to take barre classes and I absolutely love the challenge and fun atmosphere that the classes give. would definitely recommend to anyone

Great studio! The classes are easy to follow along for newcomers and the instructors are great at making sure everyone is getting the most out of their workout!

Ive been going to OpenBarre since September 2017, and its truly been the first gym experience that Ive ever enjoyed. Lauren, the owner, makes sure to get to know each of her clients. She and the other instructors make the classes super enjoyable and understand that everyone is at different levels (they offer modifications to most of the moves). I enjoy that most of the classes focus on glutes/thighs, abs, and arms to get a full body workout. They go by so quickly! I highly recommend checking it out, especially if youre a beginner, like me!

Ive never been crazy about group workout classes but wanted to give barre a shot. Its a great workout that focuses on parts of my body I forget when I workout alone. Best of all, the atmosphere of the classes is more relaxed, less of the cheesy stuff that often comes with group experiences. Love the instructors and highly recommend this place.

Barre fuses ballet inspired exercises for a low impact body workout. It’s definitely been a way for me to get back into shape and tone my body!

OpenBarre is the best workout studio I have been to. They customize your experience by working with you if required, and they incorporate a variety of techniques like Pilates, Yoga etc.The studio is sparkling clean and the Instructors are very knowledgeable, professional, pleasant and eager to make everyone’s workout a success!

Cant say enough good things about OpenBarre and Lauren! The classes are intense, but easily modified to fit whatever level of fitness youre at (even if you just had a baby!). I started taking classes last fall and am in better shape than I was before I was pregnant. My posture has also immensely improved and, thanks to a stronger core, some lower back pain issues I had previously have almost diminished. I have never been one to participate in a lot of group workout classes or to stick to a regular workout routine, but this place has me coming back multiple times a week and I couldnt be happier with the impact it has had on my body.

This was my first time doing Barre and I love it . I highly recommend it, you work some muscles that probably you have never worked befibe.

Such a great workout! Lauren and her staff are helpful to all new and experienced Barre goers!

Open Barre is a small, clean studio in College Park, MD. These barre classes are pretty classic barre classe compared to other similar ones. I love the studios cleanliness and the price is reasonable. The quality of the classes you get depends on the instructor. For example, I love taking classes with Lauren, Anna, and Annie W. Some instructors are newer and do things a little bit differently, which can throw people off. (I do wish that the class structure was a little more aligned between the instructors). They also have a lot of outreach events, themed events, and fun things you can participate in, which are nice.Overall, I would recommend these classes and this studio for sure! My only pain point would be that they sometimes do not have enough classes during the weekends/evenings - when I can take more classes.

This indipendente, woman owned Barre studio is the BEST that Ive been to! All of the instructors are wonderful, and I leave knowing that I got a great work out. One of the things that sets Open Barre in College Park above other studios is that they offer affordable rates and a laid back and friendly atmosphere that other studios lack. I highly recommend anyone of any age or skill level to try this studio!

Open Barre Studios is my favorite place to workout! Ive been regularly attending classes each week here for about 3/4 months now, and I feel more confident about my core strength and can feel a difference! Lauren is fantastic and super friendly, explaining the moves well for any new clients or beginners :)

The teachers make this a super experience; if you want to just drop in for a really quick class they make it easy and the music and atmosphere are excellent.

I love Open Barre! Ive been going for about 2 years, and every time I go I feel challenged and stronger! The instructors are all energetic and helpful, and they have a lot of fun challenges to win classes and apparel.

A workout that gets results if you make it a habit. Parts are pretty intense and you will feel those muscles shake as they fatigue. But no pain, no gain! The teachers help you through the tough spots with encouraging words and short stretch breaks between sets. I am thrilled that this studio is near my home — I’m happy to say I’m becoming a regular. And it’s a woman-owned (Terp alum!) small business. All the more reason to support it. Love this place.

I had a great time working out here! I worked out with Annie one day and Lauren the other and both were amazing. I got a great workout and had fun doing it. I will be returning soon!!!

I attended my first-ever barre class at OpenBarre, and I cant wait to come back for more! The instructors are knowledgeable and great at describing the moves. A great work out.

Lauren is just an amazing owner, teacher and friend. It is extremely refreshing to come and workout at OpenBarre. Edited for covid-19: Lauren and her teachers started releasing online content for their clients the day after gyms were shut down. The clients of OpenBarre were able to transition to online classes immediately, and OpenBarre Online has so many classes to choose from now, both Zoom Live class recordings and in-studio recorded classes by the instructors. I rely on this studio for my workouts during this pandemic!

I cant say enough amazing things about this studio! My favorite classes are Barre Through Break (45 minute barre) and Barre Cardio (barre/HIIT combo). The space is bright and clean and I always feel amazing when I leave. You wont regret a workout at OpenBarre!

Open Barre is the best place to start and end the day! All of the instructors are friendly and you can tell they love teaching class! Thanks for a fun start to my 29th year today, Lauren!

Love love love this place! Great workouts and super welcoming community!!

Great workout EVERY TIME! The Instructors are super friendly and love what they do. Classes are a variety of ages and everyone feels welcome.

I love it here! Great instructors and a great workout!

Classes are a good size and reasonably priced! Happy hour barre helps me unwind from the week and get pumped for the weekend.

Each instuctor is excellent. Come to OpenBarre to increase strength, flexability, tone and muscle! I was hooked after my first class.

The best barre studio I have been to! All the instructors and classes are amazing

Great studio, classes, instructors & prices. Highly recommend.

OpenBarre is great. It is a lot of small movements but it really makes you work, you will be sweating and shaking by the end of a class.

Great instructor ... Great workout
