I tried this studio with their great trial free classes and loved it. The instructors and staff are so nice and motivating. You’re assigned a bar spot so you don’t have to claim territory like other studios. The studio lighting is really nice and not bright white and music is fun and upbeat. It’s really decently priced and you get a great workout!
I LOVE this place!! The instructors are amazing, encouraging, supportive, and understanding of your wants and needs! If you have any previous injuries or pain, the instructors are more than willing to make modifications for you to fully be engaged. There are so many different classes, and people are of all levels. The support and community is fantastic. Don’t be scared to try your first Barre class - you won’t regret It!!
I am so grateful for The Barre Code in Lakeview. It’s so great to have a workout that I enjoy, find challenging and hard but not unbearable, and in a community of great people! All the instructors and staff are so lovely and welcoming. Could not recommend more!
I love the Barre Code Lakeview! Everyone who works there is extremely welcoming and friendly. All of the instructors are super-attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. I love that they offer options for modifications and challenges in each class. While I do love Barre, Strength Training has become my favorite class format. I love that there are multiple class options!
I was such a fan that it took just one class for me to sign up for a reoccurring month membership. On top of energetic classes, the studio is clean and on top of Covid protocols. It’s the perfect way to get back into a workout habit after a year+ of avoiding the gym.
Had an amazing class with Elizabeth!! 10/10 would recommend SO FUN and such a good workout
I started going to Barre Code when I moved from Bucktown to Lincoln Park. I love barre & it’s not easy to find classes around my work schedule with good teachers. I absolutely love Liz’s classes. She teaches in a Pilate’s style format which is my favorite. I also really love Janelle’s class when my schedule allows. My only beef is the steep fee they charge if something happens & you can’t attend class after signing up. I wish they would be a bit more flexible about that. Otherwise, I’ve been going regularly & like it.
Great workout classes. Each class has different workouts for arm, core, thigh and seat or can change up to brawl or strength training. Instructors really make this class and keep it positive! Take Natalia if you can- she will kill you and you will thank her for it. Barre is a great compliment to my running cross training.
I’ve tried a few different barre studios in Chicago, and Barre Code is definitelymy favorite! I’ve been attending classes here for over a year now and it’s always a fun and friendly vibe to be a part of. I really like the variety of classes in addition to barre (kickboxing, HIIT, strength training) as well as the different instructors and their unique styles. I also appreciate how the memberships here are more affordable compared to other places.
I have been a member of the Barre Code for over 7 years and it is so much more than an amazing workout. It is a community of wonderful women and all of the teachers are so positive, fun and truly care about you. It has become a big part of my life, helping me to get much stronger (their workouts are ever evolving and each class I come to is different with a great mix of strength, cardio and functionality and keeps your interest month after month) and brings me a lot of joy. I highly recommend stopping in to try a workout :)
New to the Barre Code and had an amazing experience! Tina, the instructor, was great in both boot camp and barre class and I can’t wait to continue. Staff was friendly and welcoming and the studios are beautiful.
Beautiful space, friendly front desk staff, GREAT class! Instructor gave good instruction and timely cues... awesome energy and flow!
Great location - clean and professional. Instructors are experienced and able to provide a challenging class for all levels. Also love the variety - each class is a different sequence and music!
I started with The Barre Code this month and I absolutely love it! The instructors are awesome and I love that every class is different. I would highly recommend everyone come try The Barre Code!
Barre code is the best! I love the variety of classes. I’m always feeling challenged.
Absolutely love this place!! Have been going here for two years and don’t intend on stopping anytime soon. Studio is clean, instructors are great, and there is a solid variety of class formats to choose from!
I just took my first barre code class at lake view with dany. I highly recommend barre code! It was a great barre workout. The studio was clean, spacious and organized. Dany was an upbeat, enthusiastic and empowering instructor. I loved my first class!
I’ve been a member and have worked here for years. I’ve truly enjoyed every class and the community feel is so strong! The instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, motivating, and inspiring! One class will get you hooked, but be sure to try out everything they have offer.
Always have a great experience at this location! Everyone is so friendly :)
Kaye is the best instructor in the world! She is so spirited, positive; provides great cues, motivating words and support. I feel so lucky when I get into her classes, which are waitlisted for a reason. All of the staff at The Barre Code go above and beyond to care for their clients. I love love love this studio!
Great workout & great classes! Different class offerings. Instructors are great!
Such a great workout- every instructor is friendlier than the next & I see such a difference even after a month!
This is the hardest and best workout Ive ever done and I want to cry every time. The instructors are very kind and push you to do your best without being mean or too pushy. Its a very encouraging environment and I love coming here
I have been going to barre classes here for just over a month and I love them! I recommend barre code to all my friends!
This community has given me so much more than a great workout - it literally saved me during the worst part of the pandemic. I have gotten stronger physically and healed from trauma through strengthening my mind and body in class. This is not 50 minutes of “what can I do to make my body fit what others want it to look like?” This is 50 minutes of time I take for myself, to challenge myself and enjoy moving my body.
This is my favorite barre code location! I live in the south loop and it’s a snap to pop up here on the red line. Also I love the instructors at this location! liz and kim teach an excellent strength class!!
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.
The Barre Code offers an amazing workout with an incredible community of clients and instructors. They have made a number of studio procedure updates to make class feel safe (and super clean) during covid. Everyone is respectful for space and masks - and the workout is fun and challenging!
I have been attending Lakeveiws Barrecode for 2 months now and every class and instructor has been wonderful! Each instructor Ive had has been very professional, encouraging, and theyve provided modifications to each move to meet a wide range of needs. The workout rooms, locker area, and bathrooms are also well kept and very clean!
I have been going to Barre Code Lakeview for a few years. I love it. I really appreciate that the emphasis is on getting stronger, not reshaping our bodies. I find the instructors to be very encouraging and welcoming. Ive been to a few other Barre studios in the area, and this is by far my favorite because it is not at all intimidating. The time in class flies by. I can come in cranky, and always leave in much better spirits. Also, in terms of covid precautions, they have always exceeded my expectations. Theyve been by the book in terms of class size, spacing, arrival and dismissal, and sanitization. They are asking for verification about vaccination, instead of just the honor system, which I appreciate. I highly recommend this place for anyone considering a barre class or just looking to get started in strength training.
I love this place with all of my heart! Been a client since 2019 and love it 10x more after returning this year!
I love the classes here! The instructors are so positive and encouraging and I never feel bad taking a modification or a break if I need to.
Barre code is the best work out! I continue to go there because I love the various workouts ie. Barre, Burn (personal fave), Strength Training, HITT. The instructors are so motivating and always know how to push you to keep going. They always encourage you to do “what works for you” and give you modifications, which is great! I love all the staff and love how I have been able to do barre from at home during covid and now safely in the studio!!!!
The instructors are amazing and the classes are very challenging. Love the positive energy thats always flowing in this studio.
I love the Barre Code!! It’s a great workout, clean space, great energy and the instructors are awesome!
Great Strength Training Class w/ Liz
The entire team at the Lakeview studio has gone above and beyond to make all of us feel safe during in-studio classes. Such an incredible group of women! All of my thanks to everyone but especially Elizabeth, Kaye and Liz. THE best studio in Chicago.
Left class exhausted and excited for the next one!
Live how I can modify and be myself. Don’t feel any pressure to look a certain way or push myself to do any moves that don’t work for me!
Great workout and lots of class options!
Quality workouts and very encouraging instructors
Absolutely the best Barre studio in the city.
Love these guys. Basic gym at a very affordable price. I will continue going here as long as the hours are flexible and the prices are low.
As a group fitness instructor of 7 years, I am a bit picky about where I choose to sweat. I was invited by a friend to try Barre Code and I used a promo code “SPFBESTIE” for a free class. The front desk staff was very welcoming and the class was very high energy. The funky colored lights and upbeat music created a welcoming environment; however, the studio floor wasn’t clean. The instructor didn’t tell me what the class outline was or what I could expect (I think this is important for any beginner!) Overall, it was okay. I will only be back if it’s free and I would try a different instructor.
Brawl is such a fun and hard barre class.
I have taken classes with Lindsey F twice now and she is the best! She great at explaining everything and making the group feel amazing! I have taken group fitness elsewhere and this class is tops! (I really wanted to say it raises the barre) :)
Super friendly staff and great classes
Great workout. The instructors and staff are super friendly and its conveniently located next to the train and other fun areas on Belmont.
Lots to offer
