The MVMNT Society

Positive experience: I've been taking a few classes over the past few months (changed named for anonymity). I really love the classes- the front desk girls are always nice and super welcoming. Energy in class is always good, even when people are bit tired. I really enjoy the morning classes particularly, the instructors usually have such a great attitude. I've taken a few afternoon classes but not always convenient for me as I live far away. My only caveat is that l've taken a few of Melissa Shute's classes. She is really intense and high energy which really works so well for me. However, I’ve taken probably 10 of her classes now, and not once has she introduced herself or asked my name. I feel like all of the other instructors i've had have made an effort to at least know my name. Sometimes the class doesn't feel welcoming and I feel like my instructor doesn't want to interact with anyone except the few people she knows in the class. Really love this studio and will continue to go because it's so fun, but felt the need to make a review. I really honestly only want to give my feedback as constructive criticism, as I really do enjoy most of the classes here.

Fantastic experience: I just love this studio and bounce, in particular. It’s challenging but fun and appropriate for all fitness levels. MVMNT has great quality instructors and class formats that you won’t find anywhere else. Love it all.

Positive experience: I’m on tour celebrating my double ACL anniversary and landed on this studio to try Bounce for the first time. I booked this studio via class pass and was a bit hesitant because the pictures on google and the class pass didn’t give me “Black Girls Go Here” vibes, but I tried anyway because you never know. HOWEVER. Okay so boom: I took a BOUNCE Class with Mary on Monday January 27th at 8:15 AM. The studio was super cute and the actual class was a solid workout and a cool lil wake up. It’s a different type of workout and I enjoyed the ab & glute integration as well. It’s high impact, high energy BTW. Walking in, the front desk girl was very welcoming - I believe her name was Sabrina - and noticed I was new to the studio and was helpful. She told me the instructor Mary was in the studio and I can go in there. She also told the instructor I had arrived. (That’s important) I docked stars because I arrived 15 minutes early into the studio and the instructor Mary failed to acknowledge me as I sat in the studio stretching waiting for the class. She spoke to the next girl that arrived so l said something about it because I thought it was weird. She cleared it up (“oppsie” energy) and then we went on to have class. After the class, as always, I left my review on class pass and noticed an additional review that made me gasp. Another African American woman left a review saying she wasn’t greeted. Whoof! I can’t speak for her experience, but I resonated with it and rememberrrrrr, it’s lowkey reflected in their marketing. Overall, my first time doing the bounce experience was cool from a workout perspective. However, from an energy and vibes perspective - the lack of greeting left a super weird taste in my mouth especially considering 1) I was a brand new person to the studio + 2) I'm an instructor myself and it's a standard to greet everyone when they arrive to class. Yikes.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love MVMNT! From the moment you walk in, the energy is contagious, and the staff is so welcoming and encouraging. Jillian, the new owner, is a certified Pilates instructor and brings incredible expertise and energy to the studio. The classes are a fantastic mix of mat-based Pilates, strength training, and cardio, with an attention to detail that makes every session feel personalized and effective. I always leave feeling stronger and more energized. The space is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. They even have a partnership with Bala. If you're looking for a studio with knowledgeable leadership and positive vibes, MVMNT is the perfect choice. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: The only good workout is the one you want to do over and over, week after week, and that's what MVMNT does best. MVMNT provides a menu of workout formats to keep things fresh, and 45 minute sessions to fit your schedule. You will leave sweaty and worn out but also smiling and rejuvenated!

Fantastic experience: I did my first class here this week and it was so great! Very inclusive and motivating without being shameful. Plenty of modifications provided to meet you where you are physically

Fantastic experience: I did a class here as a drop-in while I was in town visiting a friend & I am so glad I tired it! Admittedly, I was a tiny bit nervous because I hadn’t worked out in 3+ months but I was able to scale all the moves & workout to my pace while still feeling like a part of the class. The instructor was very encouraging & I even got to meet the owner who was so sweet & kind and took a genuine interest in my concerns & guided me with weights & movements. I wish we had a studio like this where I live.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was super friendly from the moment I walked in the door and the class was great!

Fantastic experience: Great work out spot

Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Terrific Pilates fusion class, set to music tempo. Welcoming front desk.

Fantastic experience: No matter what workout you choose, everyone is always welcoming, the energy is infectious, and it’s truly a non-judgmental community.

Negative experience: Not beginner friendly. I was there for a year and it does not get easier. If you are even slightly out of shape and slightly overweight you will be feel out of place.

Fantastic experience: Place is beautiful, class was great and Kate was a great instructor!

Fantastic experience: I love the workout and the instructor. I also liked the layout of the studio because I had my own personal space to move around without bumping to other people

Fantastic experience: Have really loved MVMT so far!! One of the biggest things is that every instructor greets me by name. I had gone to a gym for 6 months and had to introduce myself almost every class; it’s not like that at MVMT. Plus, the 45 mins are packed with sweaty, fun, challenging movements that keep me feeling good all day. Overall a great gym with inclusive vibes. Highly recommend, especially if new to the area.

Fantastic experience: Very good.

Fantastic experience: I love the MVMNT Society!! Amazing variety of classes, so you never get bored of the workout.

Fantastic experience: Everything about the experience was amazing! Beautiful studio, friendly people. Jillian was awesome! So upbeat, positive and inspiring!

Fantastic experience: MVMNT is an amazing workout studio. I love the community, energy, instructors and how fun the classes are. I’m energized and grateful every time I go!

Fantastic experience: I love MVMNT! I've been going since 2019 and it's my happy place. The instructors are all amazing, the classes challenging, and it has the most supportive, welcoming community.

Fantastic experience: After years of trying to find the best fitness option for myself, I am so grateful to have found the MVMNT Society! They are a welcoming and inclusive community, offering fun and challenging fitness classes for all levels. Everyone I have met is so supportive of one another and very encouraging - I look forward to every class!

Fantastic experience: When I found the MVMNT society I immediately fell in love with the workouts, instructors, and the community as a whole. Not only are the classes a killer workout but the instructors and community are so welcoming and encouraging! I am always so excited for class and feel so fortunate to have found such an inspiring studio to keep me moving and motivated!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE The MVMNT Society! So many class and time options that work with a busy schedule. Also, the instructors are AMAZING! They are so knowledgeable and motivating. You will not regret joining! Great newbie price options too!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best fitness studio in the DMV! Best instructors and best workouts. They have a variety of different class types, ranging from pilates to high intensity interval training. My fav is High Fitness, a sweaty, cardio dance class. Everyone is super friendly and supportive too.. and I’m not joking, you‘ll see for yourself, but everyone has a great bod.. this studio is why!!!

Fantastic experience: The MVMNT Society is so welcoming to everyone who comes in. I never really worked out before and feel so comfortable taking their classes. Not only is it a great workout but it’s fun and motivating. Highly recommend trying a class!!

Fantastic experience: The MVMNT Society is so welcoming to everyone who comes in. I never really worked out before and feel so comfortable taking their classes. Not only is it a great workout but it’s fun and motivating. Highly recommend trying a class!!

Fantastic experience: I was super nervous about trying a group workout class. But I was hooked after my first High Fitness class with Jordan. I’m super shy about dancing in public, but this class was so fun I couldn’t spend time overthinking or being self-conscious! It’s the perfect way to get your cardio in and in such a beautiful place surrounded by strong, beautiful women! I can’t recommend MVMNT enough

Fantastic experience: I fell in love with MTVMNT Society from my first class with Niki. The atmosphere of the studio is so welcoming and modern and doesn't remind you of a gym (which for me has negative associations). The classes are super fun and I love the small size. Instructors are amazing and I've noticed that even after a few weeks I already see improvements in my mood and I fall asleep much faster. There is plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: I recently had moved to the area, in the height of the pandemic, and discovered the MVMNT studio. And it was open (No small feat! Constant cleaning, multiple precautions of untold effort, financial investment to the max...all for the clients!) and it provided not only a terrific workout, but an opportunity to connect with wonderful women who were equally eager to MOVE their bodies. This experience stirs something internally that just cannot be fully replicated on Zoom. The MVMNT society is full of friendly, kind, and encouraging people and the classes are dynamic and challenging. Truthfully, MVMNT 100000% buoyed me during our darkest days of 2020 and into 2021 when community was so difficult to find or create. Thank you Natalie, Mary, and everyone at MVMNT for providing such a beautiful space that fills my soul with joy each and every visit. I love you guys and can't wait to bounce or BOSU with you all this year and for many more to come!

Fantastic experience: The MVMT Society has been such a positive addition to my life! Not only are the workouts absolutely incredible, the people are also so kind and welcoming! I love the variety of classes the studio has and how easy it is to find a time to workout with the multiple schedule offerings. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun and challenging workout studio!

Fantastic experience: Update: After being here for around a year, this is the BEST fitness studio in the area. The energy is unmatched, and Natalie and the instructors are constantly finding new ways to be creative. If I ever move away, the MVMNT will be the #1 thing I miss. ❤️ I'm so glad I found this studio! I initially took the three class pass and was instantly hooked! The workouts are super fun, challenging, and push you to a new limit each day. The instructors are welcoming and have modifications for each fitness level. I love the high rep, low impact design of the workouts - you really feel every fiber in your muscles burning. If you're looking for a new fitness routine, join The MVMNT Society!!!!!

Fantastic experience: MVMT Society is hands down the best workout studio in the DMV. Natalie and her team are experts at helping you achieve whatever fitness goal you are looking to master. They offer a variety of classes that run the gamut from high intensity cardio that torches calories (bounce, bosu and high fitness) to super sweaty sculpting and barre. All levels are welcome! The instructors give variations to every workout so it’s doable even if it’s your first time. The community is a huge part of what makes this place so great and what keeps me coming back week after week!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely adore The MVMNT Society! The instructors are so friendly and the workouts leave you feeling so accomplished. I also love how many class times they offer throughout the day so that it works with any schedule. Plus, it’s a great way to cross train with all of the different types of classes they offer. I recommend this studio to all of my friends!

Fantastic experience: The MVMNT Society takes group classes to a new level. Regardless of the class you take - you will sweat, feel the burn, feel welcome & have a blast. Very high energy, lots of great choices and amazing instructors. Also have amazing COVID precautions in place during this crazy time! In-person and online classes are honestly the best!!!

Fantastic experience: I regularly do the Zoom classes and the main thing I love is that the workouts are always new and fresh, never non repetitive. The movements are challenging, but not too much so and the instructors are always so friendly and funny! I make it into an in person class every now and then and it's even better and funner in person :) Love keeping in touch and seeing the behind the scenes on the IG.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this studio! Everyone is so friendly and inviting that it really makes working out fun! I started seeing results after three weeks thanks to the sculpting classes. I highly recommend trying any of the classes offered.

Fantastic experience: The MVMNT Society was exactly what I was looking for. The classes are awesome and hard! I’m sore every time so I really feel like I’m getting the most out of my time. The studio is beautiful and inviting and very clean. I’m recommending to all my friends!

Fantastic experience: The MVMNT Society is more than just a fitness studio – it’s a supportive and safe space that encourages you to be the best version of yourself. The workouts are varied, challenging and fun and the instructors are top notch (shout out to Anna-Maria for always bringing the energy; her passion for fitness really shines). I, too, recommend trying different classes to discover which workout / format works best for you. You’ll be so happy that that you did!

Fantastic experience: The instructors are so friendly and the classes are challenging but fun! I upgraded my membership to unlimited after my fourth class. The studio is always clean and safe!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Was using a personal trainer--and these classes blow that away. The 45 minutes of weights, bands, squats, etc. to music with colleagues flies by. A terrific way to start your day! I highly recommend this exercise studio!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! The workouts are fun and challenging, and the times really work with my schedule. I look forward to class in the morning!

Fantastic experience: If you know natalie, she does nothing below amazing & perfect! if you are looking to get in shape but have FUN this is the place to go! also, their online streaming is *everything* FIVE million stars!

Fantastic experience: this studio is clean, beautiful, and offers a good variety of classes! the instructors are friendly and engaging. highly recommend the bounce class.

Fantastic experience: Not gonna lie, it's definitely a lot of work, but I love how different their classes are! So far I've tried the bosu, bounce and sculpt and I can't tell which one is my favorite! Definitely need more classes to get use to the bosu and bounce, which means I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for just a gym, maybe this place isn’t for you... BUT. If you are looking for lifestyle or even a community then look no further!! Seriously since my first class here, my life had taken a 180 or 360 depending on how you look at it. I went from bored sitting in the house and snacking 24/7 fluctuating between 165-156 if I decided to fast or take up another YouTube challenge which only was sustainable for 2 weeks till I got bored to where I am now. I’m not a fitness junky per say but I have tried it all but nothing got me to stick or feel like someone was trying to scam me on a gym membership that was overpriced. This is the only place that doesn’t really offer an INTRO class for good and bad. I debated for weeks if this is the place I wanted to be since I heard all the pitches before. But one rainy day I took a bounce class that I paid for in full on MINDBODY and they had a dynamic pricing of $10 off and I was like what do I have to lose besides maybe $18? I took it despite all my anxiety warning me against but I thought “maybe this time... it’ll be different..” and in all honesty it was, the class was close to my imagination but far more challenging in a great way. Why? Because it’s so dynamic and well curated you won’t know what to expect. So that day in bounce Natalie was the instructor and boy is she charismatic. She made me feel welcomed and all the people in class were very helpful, they told me that they still feel a bit lost sometimes but if all else fails just bounce and have fun, after all this workout is for you and no one else. After that day I took a 3 day rest period and debated if that class was for me, because I was so tired and worn out during my first time and I consider myself pretty strong.... not in the core but everywhere else! And I decided try another discount class, cause hey it’s like an expensive CAVA bowel why not. I hated it mainly cause I don’t care for exercising. But after that class I made a new friend who volunteered to be my fit friend. So I started going to socialize. Then slowly and surely I fell in love with how my body looked, I still feel sore since I don’t take as many rest days as I’d like but I feel all the more confident for it. If you read pass here, congrats! And if you ever need a buddy in class feel free to reach out to someone right next to you, since they are all on the same journey and everyone there will welcome you and all your anxieties, insecurities and inhibitions since we are all on the same journey to be a stronger us!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! All of the instructors are top-notch and put in a lot of work to make sure every class is new and challenging. The environment is really uplifting and the fast pace keeps you focusing on the workout. I also appreciate that instructors ask about injuries before classes and always share modifications or advancements so you can take class at your own pace. It can’t be beat for the price! Love the community of people I’ve met here and have started to see change after a month not only in my body but in my energy levels and health habits. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Such a great find in Alexandria and exactly what I needed to get out of my workout slump during these crazy times. The classes are fun, challenging, and motivating. And the instructors and owners are all so friendly and engaging. I can tell there is a great community here and can't wait to be part of this studio when we hopefully can all socialize more! one day soon!

Fantastic experience: First studio trying barre classes and I absolutely love it! The instructors and staff are super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Though the classes are a bit challenging at first, they're a good kind of challenge and keep you pushing yourself and wanting to come back for more!

Fantastic experience: This place is AMAZING! One of my friends recommended me to the MVMNT Society and I am obsessed. I typically take the BOSU, BOUNCE, or Sculpt classes, they are great! I burn more calories in a 45 minute class than an hour long Orangetheory class! I also feel very safe, they take my temperature before I even enter the studio and everyone is appropriately spread out throughout the room. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: One of the best barre studios in the area! The staff and instructors are all so friendly and welcoming. A new, challenging, and fun workout comes with each class! I always leave feeling better and stronger each time.

Fantastic experience: I was pretty intimidated to take a class here but have been so pleasantly surprised by how supportive and inclusive this studio is! I thought that I would stick out like a big tall sore thumb, but the front desk staff and instructors always seem to recognize when there's a newbie on the scene, and they make a special effort to say hi and give the lay of the land - and the other folks taking the classes are really welcoming and encouraging. I've learned so much from my fellow class-takers! And as for the workout - it's awesome. It's intense, yes, but it's somehow also super motivational - you don't actually get discouraged by the burn, you want to conquer it! I can feel myself getting stronger and more confident with each class.

Fantastic experience: I must offer some more positive feedback and personal testimonial for just how much I absolutely love love love being a member of this studio and classes. (My words really won't give it justice - the "positive feeling" I get every single time I finish a class is just simply the best, as simply put as that). So rewind a bit....I was an athlete growing up my whole life and loved playing sports competitively and working out but then the "real life, working world" set-in and I pushed fitness to the back burner and only exercised variably when I "had the time". Last year I had my first baby and then felt so fearful to start working out again - I was so eager to get back into it but so worried about how my body would perform. Finally, this past February (...after months and months of following the studio on instagram and dreaming of going) I stopped the excuses and signed up for my first class. I was instantly hooked!! The studio + instructors + other clients were all so welcoming, judgement free and supportive. The classes kicked my butt in the best way possible and were so FUN! Right as I was getting into the groove Covid hit (as we all know). I was devastated when I first heard about the studio shutting down and then immediately elated when I saw the news of the new fresh start. Becoming a Founding Member was a no brainer! Going to classes these past 2 months has been my favorite part of my week - I truly look so forward to "mama's free time". I leave the classes feeling on such a high and such pride in the work we all put in during those 45 minutes of intense workout. Each of the instructors are incredible, the classes are so hard and so FUN in the most perfect and inspiring way and the other clients that attend are always so positive and encouraging of each other. Thank you to The MVMNT Society for bringing this to me and our community - it is so needed during such a challenging year for so many.

Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal! I'm so out of shape and I was looking for a place to work out for few months now. What I love about this place: • the workouts are easy on my knees. •the workouts are intense, but can be adapt to every level. •the staff is very kind and they follow with each of us to make sure we get the max and always being safe. •the energy of the place is amazing. Everybody is kind and gentle. • diversity. In the classes I took they were different group age and shapes so everybody fits in. Are few toned girls and few curvy ones, few young and few more mature also. •the place is always super clean. Thank you team Xtend. You guys keep me motivate to get stronger and healthier.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to classes at Xtend Barre Oldtown for about two months now and it is great!!! There is a good mix of strength and cardio in each class and options to make moves more or less challenging depending on your skill level. I already feel my strength and endurance improving—it’s making me a better runner! I’ve liked every instructor I’ve had and the desk staff are super friendly. Definitely recommend this studio!

Fantastic experience: Such a great workout I love it!! The staff is amazing and I feel fit!! I’m going to continue using !!

Fantastic experience: Great class! Challenging but fun - instructor was excellent

Fantastic experience: I've always had a good experience at this location. The workout is challenging but the pace and constant changes help me to not get bored or give up. It's a nice supplement to the gym at work and some running!

Fantastic experience: I adore this studio, it is clean and everyone is extremely friendly. I am 5 classes in and I can already see changes in my body and feel so much stronger. My balance and coordination are also improving (I never thought I would be able to do some of the things I’m doing). I highly recommend this studio.

Fantastic experience: I do not typically do "classes" - but I am 5 classes in and obsessed with all the different types of workout I can choose from. The classes are small and the instructors are super friendly and accepting of new people. Most importantly I am sore after each one!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Xtend Barre in Old Town. Teachers are so good. You leave feeling energized and stronger every time. I'm addicted! I also love the adorable studio and its beautiful esthetic. I love Mary who teaches Barre Express over the lunch hour and I love Natalie who is so down to earth and absolutely gorgeous. Everyone seems so friendly and supportive. I also love that they have such nice workout gear for sale. Xtend makes you feel good and look good. I'm also impressed that every class is different which is so important so you keep your muscles guessing and it makes for a much more overall toned body. I need to get to 110 and I'm hoping Xtend's various teachers and classes can take me there. Thank you studio owner, Natalie, for making such a nice place for girls to gather and exercise their bodies and hearts out! xoxo

Fantastic experience: I have taken barre classes at several studios in Alexandria and DC (and previously in Philadelphia and New York), and Xtend Barre Old Town is definitely one of my favorite barre studios! The staff is very friendly and helpful (even when I've arrived to class late a few times). I have been to several classes at Xtend, and have found that every class is uniquely challenging. The instructors always change up the routine, so I never do the same workout twice. Also, the classes offer a good mix of cardio, strength and flexibility training. The instructors are always energetic and encouraging and willing to help students improve their form. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging, yet fun workout in the Alexandria area!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at the studio is super nice and inviting and the studio itself is modern and always really clean. Xtend is unlike most barre classes in that in incorporates cardio in every class to burn more calories and to get you sweating. I've left other barre classes without even breaking a sweat.. I promise that's not the case with Xtend Old Town.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the most effective strengthening classes I’ve done. It’s challenging, but also fun. The combination of cardio moves plus strengthening makes the class go fast and you don’t realize how hard you’re working. But just walking out of class I feel more stable with better posture. Plus, the staff is really friendly and welcoming. They new my name before I even arrived! Don’t worry if the first class kicks your butt. Stick with it and you’ll be keeping up before you know it.

Fantastic experience: As someone who does not like exercising or waking up early in general, I love Xtend Barre. The classes are challenging. I've only started going for maybe two months now, but all the classes are different. You'll never get bored or use to a routine. Also, all the instructors are friendly, energetic, and super nice. Everyone always try to make an effort to get to know you.

Fantastic experience: So happy I joined this studio! The variety of classes and instructors keeps things from being repetitive and I find it more challenging (but also more effective) than other barre classes I've attended. The staff at the front desk always say hi and remember your name too!

Fantastic experience: I am OBSESSED with these workouts! Don't get me a wrong, I am still a lover of a classic barre class, but Xtend Barre takes it to a whole new level by adding in spurts of cardio into all of the strength training + conditioning you would get in a traditional barre class, which I really love! The cherry on TOP is that they incorporate traditional ballet moves/positions into the workouts, which brings me back to my dancing days and makes me feel like a real life ballerina! They have a lot of different types of classes you can take, and all at various times throughout the day to fit your schedule. All of the teachers are super friendly, upbeat & motivating, but not in an in-your-face kind of way. Very welcoming environment to push yourself to whatever challenge your body is wanting/needing !

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Xtend Barre Old Town! For someone that was apprehensive going in, everyone there really makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. With each class I have felt myself getting stronger. I am glad that I have finally found a workout that I am excited to stick to!

Fantastic experience: Love the Xtend Barre studio in Old Town! Everyone is always so friendly and the workouts are great. Never had a bad experience with any instructor, highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I've been to a handful of classes at Xtend Barre old town and each one has been challenging and fun! The instructors are high energy and great at pushing you to do your best. They also are very knowledgeable and provide helpful modifications along the way, whether you want to take it easier or amp it up. The combo of Barre moves and cardio will kick your butt in the best way!

Fantastic experience: I've only been to this studio a handful of times, but I can say Xtend Barre is my favorite place to take barre classes! I love that each class I take is different from the last and I always leave there with my legs shaking! I would highly recommend Xtend Barre to anyone in the Alexandria area!

Fantastic experience: I was a little skeptical about taking a barre pilates class that was recommended to me by a friend.. But after the first class I was excited to try again! I really love the upbeat music and the instructors! I also love how the instructors make sure your form is correct and that you can go at your own pace! Now I’m hooked and I can’t wait to go to the next class!!

Fantastic experience: Let's be honest, there are a ton of Barre classes around the D.C. metro area. I haven't tried them all. What I will say: Xtend Barre has become one of my favorite workouts. It's more ballet focused than other studios, so don't be discouraged if your first few classes are a difficult. I can tell a difference in my body when I attend regularly.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the Xtend Barre studio in Old Town Alexandria! The studio is always very clean and inviting, all the front desk people are friendly, they don't treat you as "just another student", they actually know your name and make you feel welcome. They have multiple classes throughout the day which makes it easy if you have a busy schedule. The barre classes are amazing, they have helped me improve my balance, make me more flexible, and burn calories. Definitely a great investment!

Fantastic experience: I love the Xtend Barre classes. It has help me strengthen my body all over. It's a different way of exercise. My body feel great all over after just one class. The instructors are great. I'm sweating hard after each class. Barre is a way of life....

Fantastic experience: This studio is amazing! The teachers are awesome and they have added a lot of different class options which keeps it fun. I've really enjoyed their TRX, Dance, Barre Camp and Pilates Stick classes to change up my workout.

Fantastic experience: XBOT is a fantastic studio! Instructors make you feel welcome and comfortable in/outside of class. During class, they do all the moves with students, provide coaching on form + technique, and offer modifications, but are not pushy if you do not want assistance. The instructors never cease to remind students to go at their own pace + intensity and to take adjustments as necessary, emphasizing that each student knows what is challenging/safe for their body. With all this being said, classes are easy to follow for newbies to barre, but remain challenging/high quality nonetheless, making new students like myself feel strong + confident even amongst seasoned barre students. Additionally, each instructor has their own style and is constantly switching up their routines, making each class fresh and unique. The instructors are also very approachable, positive, + encouraging, and get to know each student, which is ultimately what has motivated me to keep returning to XBOT, since I am new to fitness classes in general and am insecure about working out in front of other people. More generally, all staff members are super kind, helpful, and transparent, contributing to the overall un-intimidating atmosphere of the studio. Also, this studio doesn’t have many barre snobs, which is highly encouraging for a youngster and newbie like myself. Finally, I’ve got to give a shoutout to Maggie Laughlin, whose instructor in training class was my first experience at XBOT. Her energy is refreshing and contagious! She made me feel so welcome, capable, and confident when I arrived for my first ever barre class and is always telling me I’m killin’ it, even though my form and technique aren’t perfect. She’s an absolute rockstar and everyone should flood into her classes! Seriously, every class I attend at XBOT is a result of having an amazing first barre experience with Maggie as my instructor. Good vibes coupled with an intense yet easy to follow workout…can’t beat that! *no previous barre experience necessary!

Fantastic experience: Obsessed with this gem of a studio! Honestly one of the hardest workouts I’ve done that changes every single day- no day or class is the same. There is such a variety of classes and the instructors are super motivating, friendly and knowledgeable. All staff are so welcoming and genuine. They also have a great selection of adorable workout clothes!! Definitely a must try!!

Fantastic experience: I love this studio! It's always so clean and welcoming, and the workout is always killer (in the best way!!). No two classes are exactly the same, but they are always fun, motivational, and leave me shaking for hours. I'd definitely recommend Xtend Barre to anyone in the Alexandria area!

Fantastic experience: After trying what seems like every other barre studio in NoVa, I made my way to Xtend Old Town and 12 classes later, I definitely feel I saved the best for last. The workouts here are fun and challenging, and it's clear the instructors put a lot of thought and creativity into designing each class so things never feel repetitive. Compared to other studios, Xtend incorporates more cardio into their barre classes, and the instructors always offer modifications so you can dial down or dial up the intensity if you want to. Overall, you'll sweat, you'll shake, and when it's over, you'll be glad you did!
