The Barre Code Metro Detroit - Royal Oak

Fantastic experience: Tried Barre3 for the first time as I was visiting from out of town and I enjoyed the class!

Negative experience: Barre code rating: 5/5 Barre 3 rating: 2/5 Extremely disappointed with the transition from barre code to barre 3. I know I am not the only one who feels this way as well. I don’t understand why member input wasn’t sought before completely changing the classes, removing all the best props, “renovating” which meant cramming more people into the studio all while increasing the price by $20 a month. Oh and the classes went from 50 minutes to 45 minutes. The barre code classes were the best and far superior to barre3. I specifically missed barre code strength. I’ve taken so many various classes over the years and nothing ever compared to how great that class was. To put it bluntly, B3 classes are just suck. This has absolutely nothing to do with the trainers and everything to do with the way the B3 classes are structured. I don’t understand why B3 couldn’t leave the barre code as is when they bought them out. Why did you have to ruin a good thing? With that being said, all the trainers at this studio are incredible and the facility is clean. I really tried to embrace the change and tried all the B3 classes several times but I’m just so disappointed. I won’t be back unless they bring back the barre code classes (specifically strength). I miss you barre code!!

Fantastic experience: Sam’s class was outstanding. What a fantastic way to start my weekend!!

Fantastic experience: I love Barre 3. I'm here almost every day and I look forward to it every evening. Great community!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Effective and HARD workouts in 45 min. Instructors are all amazing.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are amazing, the new studio beautiful and the jams boppin’. I’ve been attending classes at this location for 9 years? () I’ve enjoyed the new formats which include lots of room for stretching and breath work but also allow you to challenge yourself with a range of weights and resistance options. Hugs to everyone who makes the place so great :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for over a year now and absolutely love it. The Royal Oak and Birmingham locations are great. The instructors motivate you to give it your all. I like the incorporation of mindfulness into the routines now that it has become barre3. It adds a little more to the class the focus on your body and mind.

Fantastic experience: Recently signed up during the grand reopening. I find the classes, both challenging and fun. Instructors are very energetic and engaging. It feels like it has a great sense of community that I’ve been looking for!

Fantastic experience: Love this studio—the staff is so friendly, it’s clean, and the workouts are amazing! It has been such a fun summer with my unlimited membership! Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I usually work out twice a week but I like the class so much that I end up going at least 5 times a week or more. The class has well balance of weight, cardio, stretching and mindfulness. Strongly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I love the new Barre3 format and the studio upgrades are wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Barre 3 is a motivating, challenging, refreshing and addictive ;) workout ! I just completed my 300th class and I can honestly say that the workouts never get boring - there is always something new here with additional ways to push myself. Thank you Barre 3 for being the best part of my day!

Fantastic experience: Love this studio!! Everyone is so friendly and empowering!

Fantastic experience: 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. It has created such a great habit now that it’s not even a question of if but when I can fit a class in. The instructors are beyond motivating and high energy too keep you going. I was nervous going alone for the first time but they were so kind in showing me around. Unless you are already working out I do not suggest starting your first class with a strength class. I did that and couldn’t get in and out of my car gracefully for 3 days! These ladies push you but at your own pace. There is lots of variations of each move and it’s never an embarrassing feeling not following the more intense movement. An easy example is planks and variations being on your knees or at the bar! It has definitely kept me accountable especially the cancellation policy! Not having to think about your next move and what number you are on of that move is a great feeling!!

Fantastic experience: Love it!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place. I love the variety of workout types, all of the instructors are very uplifting, and the community itself supports each other.

Fantastic experience: I started at the Barre Code when we moved to Royal Oak in 2020. The classes are great and all of the instructors keep you motivated to keep going back and stick with an exercise routine. I love the variety of classes (Barre, cardio and strength training) and love the fact that there is such diversity in the workouts. The studios are very welcoming...it is a great place to start my mornings at every day!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love The Barre Code! I joined a few months ago only, and I already feel like I'm part of such an amazing community. TBC is currently changing to become Barre3, and their signature class has been so fun and exciting! The workouts are always varied by week and by instructor so it never is the same thing twice. It's been such a wonderful journey so far, and I'm excited to continue and see where it leads!

Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful wellness community!!

Fantastic experience: Such a fun place to workout and everyone is so friendly

Fantastic experience: Love it!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking workout classes here for years and the workout never get old!! Whether I want a strength exercise or more cardio, there are classes dedicated to both and in between. Being able to take classes at the Royal Oak and Birmingham studio makes the options even better. I love it here!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love The Barre Code! I mainly take classes at the Royal Oak studio, but you can count on the same quality class, amazing energy from instructors, and a good workout no matter which studio you go to! I love the variety of class styles so you can really tailor your membership to what you need at whatever stage in life you’re at. I also love that no two instructors are teaching the exact same class so you know you’re always getting a different workout and pushing your body in new ways each class. So grateful for this community!

Fantastic experience: Best workout experience! Fantastic instructors and I love the different classes offered.

Fantastic experience: Love their strength class! Try it out!

Fantastic experience: Love it here! Everyone is so friendly and supportive

Fantastic experience: I have been taking classes at The Barre Code for over 5 years now and I can't imagine what my life would be like without it! They are going thru a transition right now becoming Barre3 and I am already LOVING the new style of class (Barre3 Signature), and this is just the beginning! It is the best balance of physically challenging and mentally/emotionally cleansing and relaxing that I've experienced in a long time. I can't wait to see what else is in store!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love Barre Code! I attend classes at the Royal Oak and Brimingham location. 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 instructors and staff are always friendly and they really make a point to greet each person by name and get to know them. I also really appreciate that I may go to multiple Barre classes in a row and each one will be different, you are not just taking the same class on repeat.

Fantastic experience: I just joined about two weeks ago…. I just love the environment here… and great workout

Fantastic experience: 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! Plus you won’t find a better community of people to work out with. Looking for something new - give the Barre Code a try, your muscles will thank you.

Fantastic experience: This is a great studio! The classes provide an awesome workout, and the instructors are encouraging and supportive. There are always modifications to make the classes fit your needs, and I really appreciate the overall positive atmosphere every time I walk in. The content of the classes is different each time, so it's never boring.

Fantastic experience: I love the team at the barre code Royal Oak! Everyone brings great energy and positivity

Fantastic experience: Newer to the barre code- the class formats (barre, strength, brawl) are all fun & a great workout! Instructors are upbeat and encouraging. Lots of class times which is nice for a busy schedule. Free parking behind building (which is hard to find in downtown RO). I really enjoy taking classes here!!

Fantastic experience: Love The Barre Code-great instructors, music and nice variety !

Fantastic experience: The best of the best! This barre code brings the feel good energy and support every class! I love the instructors and the varying class formats.

Fantastic experience: Such a fun and challenging workout! All the instructors are amazing. Today I had a class with Molly and not only did she lead us through a great workout, she went above and beyond and gave us motivational pep talks the entire time and it was really inspiring and added a layer of depth to the class.

Fantastic experience: I love the Barre Code. The instructors are all really good and extremely motivating. It’s just a great community.

Fantastic experience: Barre provides a great workout, a dedicated time for mindfulness, and wonderful sense of community.

Fantastic experience: The staff and instructors are very welcoming! The classes allow you to go at your own pace and be at the level you are comfortable at. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I love TBC!!!! The instructors are awesome, the music is always upbeat, and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Fantastic experience: The most motivating & welcoming community! I’ve been a member for years & cannot imagine going anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: This studio has it all- variety of challenging workouts, clean and updated space, awesome inctructors, friendly staff, and easy parking. Best of all-everything they do is in support of the local community!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Attending a class at The Barre Code is always my favorite part of the day. The variety of class formats and instructors keeps things interesting, and you always leave feeling like you just had a great workout. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code offers a great work out and wonderful staff!

Fantastic experience: I joined the barre code a couple of months ago and it has been a game changer. The more I do these workouts, the more I want to go! The staff is so inviting and helpful. I highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, motivating instructors and wonderful community!

Fantastic experience: I’m relatively new to The Barre Code, but after years of enjoying barre-centric workouts, I can say that this studio is top notch. The instructors are knowledgeable and caring and have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome from day one. The workouts are great for all levels and the variety of classes keeps me motivated and engaged. They work hard to keep the studio clean and are very responsive to calls and emails. I can’t say enough nice things about this group of strong, empowering women!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a studio to get you back into working out, the barre code is your answer. After I had my son, I didn't know where to start. My body was foreign to me. I eased back into working out with some barre classes and it was amazing. The instructor offered modifications for every move to fit my needs. After a few weeks I started gaining back my strength and confidence back. Now my son is almost two and I am so grateful to have Barre code as part of my routine. When I look in the mirror during class, I can see my progress. My moves are cleaner, and I constantly find myself taking those extra challenges.

Fantastic experience: I have been a proud barre code client for almost 7 years now. Everyone is so welcoming and the schedule is very accommodating between early morning, mid-day, afternoon as well as evening classes!!

Fantastic experience: Love The Barre code!! I love the variety of class styles and times they offer!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout, easy parking (important for downtown royal oak). Love that there are several different types of workouts offered throughout the week. ALl the coaches as great. Big fan of Kate & Melissa.

Fantastic experience: I have never exercised. Day one of starting classes at the Royal Oak Barre Code, they included me in the Barre Code community. Very friendly and inviting environment. I enjoy working out everyday at the studio. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kirsten is the BEST instructor!!!! Great workout, even better community.

Fantastic experience: I was invited to try this place out by my friend Joey and I a so glad I did! Great fun and comfortable environment. Everyone was so helpful, made me feel welcome and made joining the class for my first time less nerve wracking!! I signed up for a membership and I am love going!

Fantastic experience: I bought a membership almost a year ago and I can’t believe the positive changes to my mind and body. I’ve never been an athletic person, but I kinda feel like one now!

Fantastic experience: This place has given me a strength and fitness i never knew i had. I was nervous to try this place at first but have never looked back in the 2 years i have been coming here. KDT

Fantastic experience: 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. 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. I can't say enough about them! I typically go to the Royal Oak and Birmingham locations.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for expecting mamas! The 'Barre' format class is low impact and the instructors always offer modifications so its suitable for any fitness level. The women that come here are diverse in age and body type, making it a comfortable space for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Just started going here a couple weeks ago. Already love it! The staff is super welcoming and the classes are a perfect mix of strength and cardio for me

Fantastic experience: I liked the fast pace yet ability to still have dedicated time at each station. The coach was very helpful and checked on me and helped with form throughout. I felt comfortable right away! The workout was challenging and left me sore but was not too much, you can adjust to your fitness level. The place was spotless and the front desk staff was very welcoming

Fantastic experience: Love The Barre Code! Such a clean, positive environment to work out in. The variety of class styles is awesome and keeps me coming in and trying something new.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everyone is so kind and helpful! I love coming every wk to Chelsea's Barre class! She really puts you to work!

Fantastic experience: This is the place! I love TBC Royal Oak. A wide variety of class offerings and different instructors keeps you challenged and strong at every class. So thankful for this community and all the amazing people I continue to meet.

Fantastic experience: I love the RO studio! I love that this location has mirrors all the way around. Barre Code has been my family for probably 6-7 years. Everyone is always so friendly. The classes has made me such a stronger woman, mentally and physically. Sometimes it’s the only 50 mins that I can truly focus on just myself. I can’t see myself being at any other gym/studio. - Mindy D

Fantastic experience: i've been going to TBC for a few years now and the royal oak location is my "home" studio. the staff is very friendly and it's always clean. free parking is easily accessible. so glad classes are back in full swing!

Fantastic experience: Love love love the Barre Code!! I always leave class feeling motivated, energized, and inspired! The variety of classes is awesome as is the community & instructors! This will always be my fitness home!

Fantastic experience: I started practicing at The Barre Code in February of ‘21, gifting myself for my birthday a monthly membership. Having practiced barre before, I was still new to TBC format. I have since regularly been going to Birmingham and Royal Oak. I. Am. Obsessed! The connection between mind and body has been reinstated within me since practicing at TBC. The peace, calm and clarity endorphins are worth the shaky thighs, burning abs Every person I’ve met there, front desk and customer relations(front desk) has been helpful, encouraging and kind. You and your movement are treated as an individual (if you have an injury, or pre and post natal just let them know) yet you’re part of a collective of women of all ages, sizes and fitness levels. There are many class options and times available too, plus booking through the app is helpful and you select your “spot” at the barre. Your first 3 classes are free too! What are you waiting for?

Fantastic experience: BIG LOVE for the Barre Code! I love the diversity in the classes. It allows me to switch up my workouts so I NEVER get bored or feel like I’m in a rut. I highly recommend trying each style at least once so you can find your favorite. Really loving the Strength classes!

Fantastic experience: I have tried many fitness studios in the area and The Barre Code stands out for variety. I’ve been taking class 5 days a week at the same time every day. By Friday I have taken 4 different class styles. The instructors are incredibly friendly and motivating. The studio is clean. The Barre Code has great social media presence to keep you connected outside of the class and the cost is very affordable compared to other barre studios. I am very excited to spend my summer at The Barre Code in Royal Oak.

Fantastic experience: I have been fortunate to have visited many Barre Code studios, and the Royal Oak location is among the best! Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and motivated. Workouts are always challenging, and I leave every class feeling stronger than before (and often sore for days…). Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the barre code. If you're a woman looking for an empowering gym, look no further! I've been to quite a few gyms but this one always makes me leave feeling great.

Fantastic experience: Love love love the Barre Code!! I always leave class feeling motivated, energized, and inspired! The variety of classes is awesome as is the community & instructors! This will always be my fitness home!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped in the doors nearly five years ago, I felt right at home! Everyone from the front desk staff to the instructors is welcoming and there to assist you in getting the best workout possible. The workouts are ever changing and there is a style for everyone - barre, strength, cardio, and restoration. I always leave feeling empowered and stronger. Additionally, the studio is so pretty and clean and there's plenty of free parking behind the studio. I'm so happy I found the Barre Code and they have become such an integral part of my life!

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code Royal Oak studio is a great community! There is something about a group exercise class that helps keep you motivated and moving! The instructors do a great job of offering encouragement and modifications on a movement if needed. The Barre Code does a great job of giving back to the member community through donation events to support breast cancer awareness, suicide prevention, and nursing! Thank you for continuing to offer a great variety of classes, including virtual!

Fantastic experience: The barre code is my favorite way to start my mornings because they are all so motivating and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: This truly is the best group of women and support system you could ask for! I look forward to these workouts every morning!

Fantastic experience: Not only is an amazing fitness studio to grow but also a spectacular place to work. The positive environment allows for one to grow physically and mentally into a decent person. The 50 minutes in the studio really do affect your life the rest of the 23 hours of day. I have noticed i'm more likely to just go up to someone to start a conversation, have the confidence to back the choices i make and more supporting of others. For me the no scales inside was weird at first till i realized it was all about growing as a person rather than what you look like. The instructors are engaging that the time just flys by!

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code - Royal Oak is the greatest! Facility is very clean. Equipment is new. Staff are courteous and nice.

Fantastic experience: I really love The Barre Code Metro Detroit! Energetic and skilled instructors and a variety of class styles! I feel like there’s something for everyone. Class routines change every week which keeps it from being repetitive. It feels like a real community and I’ve made new friends here!

Fantastic experience: I am not the type of person who "loves" to work out... who is?! When a friend suggested I try the Barre Code for the variety of classes they offer, I agreed and fell in love with it. The classes are amazing and full of inspiring women. You instantly feed off the power of others and the instructor is always encouraging and uplifting. I now look forward to working out and love that I am doing something great for my physical and mental health.

Fantastic experience: I originally joined the barre code in October to change up my workouts from just running and going to a CrossFit type gym. I have not only stayed because I love the workouts.. but the community is incredible. All of the instructors are so knowledgeable and so uplifting. They remember your name, they encourage you and are so motivating! I would recommend joining the barre code to anyone I could! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Love the variety of challenging workouts The Barre Code offers. There is something for everyone at all fitness levels and you can’t beat the supportive community.

Fantastic experience: BarreCode is an amazing place for motivation and a great workout! All routines are mixed up each session, which makes the experience enjoyable and unique! I have never felt better!

Fantastic experience: Love The Barre Code - Metro Detroit. Mostly go to Royal Oak studio, but all three are fantastic. Great variety of classes and instructors, you never get the same workout twice!

Fantastic experience: Love The Barre Code! Can’t say enough great things about this studio! Always very welcoming, a variety of classes and times to choose from, by far the best studio I have ever belonged to! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code is an amazing place to work out! If you need a positive encouraging environment that pushes you to be your best self in the gym this is your place! The instructors and staff are so kind and have helped make this way more than a gym but a community that I am proud to be part of. I always look forward to my next class! I am so happy I join 3 years ago; each class is different and challenging in its own way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes at the Barre Code! They have traditional barre classes which are great, but the boxing class is one of my favorites, and having additional strength/weight class options is great too! And with a wide variety of class times available and the connection to the Birmingham/Rochester studios, it's hard to find an excuse not to go.

Fantastic experience: I originally joined the barre code in 2015 to get into shape for my wedding, after two years I decided to take time off from the studio but could never find the same atmosphere as TBC to keep me motivated and provide a fun environment to work out. All the instructors are so knowledgeable and the community of women here is unmatched! Needless to say i won’t be taking time off ever again!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the Barre Code community for over 5 years and it never gets old or easy. The workouts are always a challenge and the community is inspiring, supportive, uplifting and powerful. If you have never been you a class you MUST try it out. #barrecodelove

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code is a great studio and great program! I love the the different class styles. They are all fun and effective. Go on in and give ‘me a try!

Fantastic experience: I just hit my 500th class at The Barre Code, so I guess it's about time I left a review. I have never been much of a 'workout person' but I really do love the classes here. The different styles, instructors, and constantly changing routines keep things interesting and challenging. My favorite class styles are Brawl (which is cardio kickboxing) and Total Body Conditioning (which is a circuit-style class with strength + cardio) - they're both super tough and I feel very accomplished afterward, but they are also mentally challenging so the time flies by.

Fantastic experience: The community the ladies of The Barre Code Metro Detroit have created is something really special. It is the first fitness community I have been a part of that is more than just physical fitness. Classes incorporate both physical and mental strength, have motivating and empowering messages and leave me wanting to be the best version of myself. I am beyond thankful for the physical and mental strength I have gained since joining TBC in July.

Fantastic experience: Seriously love The Barre Code!! The different types of class types and various locations make sure your workout never gets stale and range from super low cardio routines to I-can-barely-catch-my-breath routines that push you to the limit. They’ve created a community of women who constantly empower one another and are always so welcoming!

Fantastic experience: The Barre Code is the most fantastic place to work out! The instructors are super positive, knowledgeable, and talented. Plus, they make you feel like you are a part of a community, which motivates and inspires me to stay consistent. Their varied class styles make it fun and interesting, so you never get bored. I highly recommend this studio! :)
