The Barre Code Chicago - Lakeview

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to this studio since it was barre code. I love my barre and strength classes. There are plenty of time options in the evening so I can always find classes that work for my schedule. Every instructor I’ve had here has been great. I like that they motivate the class through out the work out and appear to genuinely love fitness. My experience here is consistently pleasant and challenging which keeps me coming back. Lately there’s been a shortage of the weights I use during class, maybe because two classes are running at the same time and there aren’t enough - but that only started happening this past week so maybe it’s temporary. Would recommend!

Experiencia positiva: The studio capacity has increased for all classes and it’s too crowded. It’s very difficult to have personal space and awkward when people come in late. Class would be more comfortable if a few spots in the front or sides of the room were removed I really like the strength and cardio class (I hope more cardio classes are added)

Experiencia fantástica: The studio is located upstairs so you will have to walk up a flight a stairs to get to the studio. The studio is spacious and clean. The instructor and other barre3 enthusiasts were so motivating. I had such a great workout-will definitely return when I’m in town again.

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite workout place! Targets all areas of your body and great for beginners!!

Experiencia fantástica: Deceivingly difficult but such a great burner! Instructor was informative and created a choreography that flowed well. Lots of fun!

Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed the strength class with Sofia! Super high energy in class, and I felt great after. If you’re looking for a workout to make your muscles hurt (in the best of ways) this is the one. Especially hamstrings, abs, and triceps.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been to The Barre Code through Classpass 5 times now and each time has been a great experience. It’s in a great location and the place is always very clean. I’ve taken the most classes with Liz and I’ve always felt very encouraged and empowered. She is great about suggesting adjustments whether you want something less strenuous or more challenging. I never feel bad for feeling confused about how to do something or having trouble. I definitely suggest for anyone new to barre or feeling nervous. I will keep coming back here

Experiencia fantástica: Done over 100 classes here and love it! Class routines change daily. Sofia is my favorite instructor - highly recommend taking a strength class with her!

Experiencia fantástica: I love barre code! Great studio and coaches

Experiencia fantástica: My first time at The Barre Code and loved their twist on Barre. Upbeat class and service at front desk was amazing. Stephany was very informative on all classes and I will be back.

Experiencia fantástica: This is my favorite barre studio in Chicago. The instructors push you to shake, but are still kind about modifications. The only downside is only half the spots have mirrors.

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciate the Barre Code community! The instructors are approachable and supportive. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. I like that the classes follow a regular format but the specific exercise sets and order changes regularly to keep me engaged and my body moving and working.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to get settled into a new barre life, Sarah was so accommodating and helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: Convenient location near the CTA in lakeview. Nice facilities and instructors. Dany is my favorite because she really pushes you in class. I have also noticed weekend classes have higher difficulty than weekday classes.

Experiencia fantástica: Great classes and coaches! Love the modifications they provide.

Experiencia fantástica: This studio and these classes have changed my body, mind and spirit! I stopped taking barre during the pandemic and didn’t realize how much I loved it! I’ve been back for a few weeks and I can already see a difference. Thanks Barre Code!

Experiencia fantástica: Great, welcoming Barre Code experience! Reasonably priced and with free offers for new clients.

Experiencia fantástica: Finally found my place. Everyone’s super friendly and the classes are fun and challenging! Just getting into working out and living a healthier lifestyle and BARRE it is.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the classes!! Super fun and always different.

Experiencia fantástica: The Barre Code is the best! As someone who is new to working out, I really appreciate the class structure and how the instructors are there to help you every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love taking classes at the barre code! All of the instructors are super encouraging and professional. Plus they offer a wide variety of classes, instructors, and props. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Barre Code Lakeview is the best! The staff and instructors are top tier. The customer service and warm vibes are unmatched. The classes are tough but fun. They offer a variety of classes: barre, boot camp, brawl, and barre restoration, and strength. There is something for everyone. Classes are offered as early at 6:30am and as late as 7:30pm. If you want a workout to work your entire body, come to Barre Code Lakeview. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Shoutout to some of my favorite staff: Dany, Jinah, Natalia, Meredith, Carly, Liz, and Sophia! #thebarrecode

Experiencia fantástica: I have been attending Barre Code Lakeview for about a year and a half after coming with a friend. I have been so happy with the classes and instructors. I attend Bootcamp, Strength and Brawl (choreographed kickboxing) on a weekly basis. The instructors are encouraging and get to know each of their students by name from day one! They have great music and they dim the lights low so that you can just focus on yourself for 50 minutes. I would highly recommend any of their classes!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a Barre Code member since 2019 and switch to the Lakeview location in 2021 from River North when we moved. I’ve loved and appreciated not only the instructors but the variety of classes offered. Not to mention, it’s great that there are classes throughout the day

Experiencia fantástica: I love the Barre Code, ever class is a great workout and I’m getting stronger everyday!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Great variety of classes and accommodating instructors. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing studio! The workouts are always a challenge and always changing so never the same experience. Super friendly staff!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently started taking classes here and love it. Every instructor is great and I always leave feeling amazing. I love how every class is different and you are always challenged.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to the barre code in Lakeview for 6 years now and I highly recommend it! I’ve tried a few other barre studios, but the barre code is the best by far. They focus on what you can “gain” through exercise as opposed to what you can lose, and I love that mentality. The teachers are all super friendly and always have fresh new routines so class never feels repetitive. They also offer classes outside of just barre, like their kickboxing, bootcamp and strength training classes, so you can take a variety of classes there too which is great for switching things up. If you’re looking to try out a barre studio in Lakeview, this is the place to go!

Experiencia negativa: My (very expensive and distinctive) winter coat was stolen from the Belmont location on 1/18 between 6:30-7:20 am. After I reported it stolen to the front desk, the team there helped me get in touch with Corporate in order to get access to the security footage as they claimed not to have seen anything. I filled a police report with the expectation that the security camera in the studio could help determine who the culprit was and what time the theft occurred at. Unfortunately Sarah Bilina from The Barre Code has ignored my emails after first putting me in contact with the building manager, who confirmed that the security camera in the studio was not building property but instead belonged to the tenant (The Barre Code). They then claimed that the camera was “unfortunately out of order at this time” and have refused to cooperate.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this barre code location! Classes are fun, diverse, and go by quickly. The class instructors are engaging and encouraging.

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite place to workout and the staff always very welcoming!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the barre code! They have tons of class offerings and there’s always something new and challenging in the classes. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I love barre classes and this has been my favorite studio in Chicago! The instructors and community are amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the barre code! Always leave the classes feeling stronger and refreshed.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend The Barre Code Lakeview! The atmosphere is welcoming, the instructors and staff are positive, and helpful. I like that they have classes for all time of the day as well that fit into my schedule. The work outs are challenging but fun. I always leave feeling stronger, confident, and all around good!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a member at this location for 3 months and it’s my favorite part of my wellness routine. Seriously. It’s taken me years to find a new workout that I enjoy and that keeps me in shape and this is it for me. The instructors are amazing, always super prepared and full of energy. I feel welcome here and look forward to coming to class, even at 7am.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place. The staff and teachers are so friendly! Studios are always clean and so are the props. Keep it up TBC Lakeview!!

Experiencia negativa: Classes ok but watch out for billing If you only want to try this for a month, be sure to cancel your membership the day you sign up, or else you will get auto-billed for the following month. Also, make sure you obnoxiously check-in, or else you will get charged the no-show fee. And keep records of any cancellations, because they’ll charge you for that too. MANAGERS DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS OR VOICEMAILS. It took a week to even get a response, and the problems still haven’t actually been resolved. Studio staff are nice but useless for this. The classes themselves are more Pilates than ballet, and the vocabulary is less than technical. Fine for gym people or yoga fans, but meh for actual dancers.

Experiencia fantástica: Best barre studio in Chicago barre none lol take Sofia's class!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Barre Code! I have been coming here for 8 months now and I love the classes and instructors. The instructors seem very knowledgeable. I love that they offer a variety of classes, but barre and strength training are my favorite! I go three days a week, and the classes are completely different so I get a very wide variety of work outs. I love it!

Experiencia fantástica: Barre Lakeview is my favorite neighborhood workout spot. The classes offered range from 30-50 minutes and they have a ton of time options to chose from. I have loved all the instructors that teach the classes! barre is such a good workout and I particularly love the brawl classes!! Would recommend this studio to anyone asking

Experiencia fantástica: The most supportive and energized group I have ever met!! Challenging workouts that make you WORK but have fun along the way!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The most supportive and energized group I have ever met!! Challenging workouts that make you WORK but have fun along the way!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a client at the Barre Code for almost 3 years now, and it's truly one of the best workout experiences I've ever had. I've even seen improvement in my fitness outside of TBC - my running pace & mileage has increased significantly! All the instructors are incredibly motivating, and my favorite class has to be the Friday AM Brawl with Elizabeth - she always knows how to keep up the energy to give us a kick start to our weekend!

Experiencia fantástica: Love the variety of classes even though it's listed as a Barre studio! Strength training is my favorite as it uses heavier weights. Bootcamp is also great it you need more cardio along with weight training. Positive and inclusive environment and which is so important for me in a studio.

Experiencia fantástica: Very well organized. High energy. As a guy, lots of exercises that I am new too but good for core and stretching. Probably good for injury prevention too

Experiencia fantástica: I frequent this studio quite a bit. Love it’s proximity to the L, easy to get to. The studios are clean and well ventilated, classes are encouraging and welcoming!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a member now for over a year - best decision post baby. Classes are challenging but are at a pace that allows you to pay attention to what you’re doing and ensure your form is correct. The community is great and supportive but not in your face - you don’t feel left out if you just come and go as you please.

Experiencia fantástica: When I want to start exercising, everybody told me to find something I loved doing. It definitely took me awhile, but the Barre Code is it. I'd self describe my body shape as "potato," but I've never felt uncomfortable or out of place the way I have at other class spaces. I love that almost all of the moves come with both a modification and a challenge, and that there's no shame in taking the modifications. The Barre Code, and especially the crew at Lakeview, have been such a lifeline over the past three years. Barre has helped me feel better in my body, build strength, and improve my mental health. Barre helped me feel great in my wedding dress, and it's now helping me rebuild strength and confidence while I recover from surgery and a navigate a rare brain condition.

Experiencia fantástica: Ive been going for four months now and its the best barre on the northside. Love the different class options especially the barre restore.

Experiencia fantástica: Always super clean, easy online reservation so you always have your spot and the Barre signature classes are so good. Barre is not a cardio workout but it is dynamic enough that you don't get bored and you get your muscles till exhaustion. They also have bootcsmp and brawl if you want to mix in some cardio

Experiencia fantástica: I frequent this studio quite a bit. Love it’s proximity to the L, easy to get to. The studios are clean and well ventilated, classes are encouraging and welcoming!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this studio! The people are great and with a variety of classes I always feel like I get a good workout.

Experiencia fantástica: This has been my go-to work out class for the past year! I love the energy of the studio and the instructors are all amazing. Each class is a new routine using different props which keeps things interesting and exciting. Love Barre Code Lakeview so much!!

Experiencia fantástica: I started taking classes at TBC back in 2010. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken, probably since 2016. This year is the 12 year anniversary and I was inspired to try it again. I just took barre and brawl and absolutely loved it! Such fun combinations and varieties and instructors Amanda and Meredith were amazing! Thank you Jillian and Ari for all the work you both do ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Barre Code is a barre studio with classes beyond just typical barre and instructors willing to help and modify for anyone’s experience level. I’ve found it to stand out compared to other barre studios over the years. They’ve also made classes feel safe when open during covid and quick to adapt during this time.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym. The instructors are very nice and they offer different classes to mix things up. Good location right off the Belmont stop. Good workout and low impact on your body.

Experiencia fantástica: Love love love this place! Such a positive environment to work out in! I would definitely recommend trying out a class! I guarantee you will not regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: Wanted to take up barre classes for more of a strength based workout. I saw the Barre code on ClassPass, and didn’t even know it was right around the corner from my place! Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, lots of modifications If needed. I always feel so strong after!

Experiencia fantástica: Joined over a year ago and have been loving it! Love the instructors and environment :) would recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Strength without injury! Love the Barre studio! Lots of class options and times on schedule. I like the occasional help but not being called out in class. Great work out to add to cardio

Experiencia fantástica: After much debating on which gym might be best for me, I just started classes at The Barre Code and it’s been great!!. Gonna try to keep it short•the girl at the front desk was very helpful and introduced me to everything •I like classes/ instructors in a gym. I have taken classes with Liz, Elizabeth, Sofia, Dany and Hannah…AND WOW! •you sign up for classes in the app (easy to use) •they write in the board the equipment you need and you have a designated spot so there is no awk wardness •there’s free lockers •you just need socks n •they keep the rooms clean after each class they clean the equipment too Def worth checking out to see if it’s a good fit for you too!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this place!! 10/10 recommend for those looking to have a GREAT workout experience! Instructors are so helpful and always have positive and uplifting energy!
