From the reviews
Curious about Barre3? Stop on in! There are so many great studios in the Grand Rapids area and we're lucky to have this amazing woman-owned Barre 3 studio amongst them. It can be intimidating to walk into a new place, but the welcome here is warm and empowering.
I am thrilled to share my positive review of The Barre Code in Grand Rapids! This studio is truly an exceptional place to achieve your fitness goals and feel great doing it. One of the things I love most about The Barre Code is their philosophy of "nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I was visiting Grand Rapids from Chicago and needed a place to work out—so glad I found Barre3! I joined the waitlist for a strength-focused barre class and called the studio to ask how it worked. To my surprise, one of the staff members gave up their own spot so I could attend.
I did my first ever barre class at barre3 and loved it- I appreciated the careful orientation I got to the space and the class. The environment is lovely with nice touches- the vibe is friendly and not at all intimidating for a beginner.
New to kickboxing? Start at barre3
barre3 comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at barre3
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
