The Workout

That’s all it takes to transform your entire body.

You target your muscles head-to-toe, working them to exhaustion, then stretching them out, creating the long, lean muscles that used to be reserved only for dancers. Using your own body weight as resistance and the barre for balance creates a formula for a narrowed waistline, lifted butt, lean thighs, and sculpted arms.

It doesn’t stop there: Other benefits to look forward to are increased bone density and flexibility, strengthened core muscles that protect your lower back and improve your posture, and a focus on connecting mind and body that will have you leaving our studio a happier, healthier you.

Cardio Sculpt classes with Kristen are my absolute fave! I love everything about them: the excellent instruction, the killer workout, the great humor, the support of my fellow classmates, and the stunning lake view. This is hands down one of the best classes I’ve found in the Twin Cities.

Working out at The Barre is a great option for those of us working around injuries as the instructors always offer modifications. The Barre’s emphasis on concentrating on form benefits the mind as well as the body. And you can’t beat the amazing view from the studio, so my mood is always lifted after a workout there.

I’ve been coming to The Barre for a few years and have always appreciated how kind and welcoming everyone is. I’m pregnant with my first child and the hands on support, modifications and encouragement from the instructors has made it really easy to stay committed during pregnancy. I’m really grateful to have the barre community!

Top notch instructors, engaging classes, welcoming environment, and approachable workouts where modifications are encouraged! Love the mini-barre option for a quick hit class with the same impact as a full class.

The Barre Studio offers excellent classes that build strength and balance. The motivating instructors teach challenging exercises and helpful modifications to meet your personal needs. I also appreciate the on line class selection for when I can’t make it to the studio. This boutique studio is located in Wayzata with beautiful views of Lake Minnetonka.

As a mom of three, The Barre has been a game-changer. It provides an incredible, challenging workout while offering a nurturing space for my kids. Thanks to The Barre, I’m in the best shape of my life and feel stronger than ever. Plus, the community of strong, supportive women is pretty special.

My journey to the Barre Studio started with a friend taking me to a class shortly after my cancer treatment ended. I needed to find a place for me to workout for me. The Barre Studio came through. I had no idea what to expect, as I’m not a dancer and had never tried a Barre workout before. I left with my legs shaking and, over 500 classes later, still return for these workouts. Rachel and Paula are amazing owners (and instructors). They set up the studio with a positive environment, hire awesome instructors, and deliver each time you attend a class. Never any negative energy, you leave feeling great for the accomplishment you just made. Don’t worry if you’re older (like me) or have had joints replaced (like me) because each class can be modified to fit your needs. All the instructors are awesome at that. In the end, The Barre Studio is AWESOME and I recommend this spot, these owners, these instructors to anyone who wants a great workout.

The beautiful Barre Studio keeps me motivated to stay in shape!In the past, I had tried several clubs and never felt comfortable in the environment, and lacked motivation to go. The Barre Wayzata not only makes me feel rejuvenated, but the instructors are so kind and encouraging. The people who attend are all awesome, too. I can’t say enough!I’m always eager to get there and look out right onto Lake Minnetonka! I immediately get lost in my workout. I feel so good after (like I’ve had a massage) and I’m so glad I found them! Barre is the perfect workout for all ages, and keeps you toned and strong as you get older.

I started taking classes at The Barre Studio postpartum after my third child, and it has been a transformative experience for both my body and mind. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The instructors go above and beyond, they know my name and create an environment that feels personal and uplifting. Plus, they have the cheapest childcare around!

Barre offers a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. Each class is tailored to push me in the best way possible while respecting my body’s needs. Barre is the first workout that has given me a true exercise high, especially during Paula’s incredible thigh series! The community at The Barre Studio is unmatched, and I always leave feeling stronger and empowered.

The Barre has been transformative for me as I work on defining muscle and getting my core strong again after having kids! It’s a great workout that I look forward to doing each week. The community is so supportive and my fellow early morning classmates feel like family!
