The classes they run
“The Brawl class (cardio kickboxing) is great for high intensity and I always take Strength Training which is a good work out and low impact.”
“Love there are tons of options of classes and the Birmingham location has a Kid's Room which really helped me to get back into working out after having my daughter.”
“The workouts are great for all levels and the variety of classes keeps me motivated and engaged.”

From the reviews
I've been back at Barre Code (I took a few years off) since January and I'm in love with the work outs! The staff is friendly and I utilize the kids room often. I haven't been this excited about working out in a long time. I appreciate the different types of classes as well.
I’ve been a Barre Code regular for years now and you never get the same workout twice. It’s a great way to shake up your routine, especially with all the variable formats. My favorite is Brawl…if you like cardio and kickboxing- this is the class for you!
My heart aches writing this review knowing I am leaving this studio (moving away). Kate is an insanely talented instructor. She has made me a person with discipline, strength, endurance, patience, and has made me love and trust my body in so many ways.
I started at the beginning of the month and am already hooked. I started with their 2 week unlimited package and wanted to get the most out of it so I went 3-4x each of those weeks and decided to continue with the unlimited package.
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.
