So impressed with Auxo! Coming from someone who has not worked out in years, this place is not intimidating in the slightest. Everyone has been SO friendly, helpful and welcoming. I had no idea what to expect with Barre, but each class I have taken has given an excellent workout and is so fun that the hour goes by quickly. This is such a great inclusive place. Highly recommend!

The team of trainers offers a great variety of classes that work for the young and old. They love their jobs and it shows as each class feels like a family experience. Since 2020 hit their zoom classes have allowed the complete exercise experience in the safety of your own home and they provided all the equipment you need in a start up package.

I cannot say enough good things about Auxo Fitness! I discovered this special place back in 2016 and instantly felt at home. Not only are the classes fun and challenging, but the instructors and other members are welcoming and supportive - it’s an all around perfect fitness family! Auxo welcomes both women and men, and no matter what your fitness level, you’ll leave each class feeling empowered and stronger. Brinn, Amy, and the rest of the Auxo crew have most definitely given our town a locally grown barre studio that you won’t regret trying!

Auxo is an incredible fitness center and Brinn is a precise, efficient and very motivating trainer. Her hospitality and positivity make training with her a mediation in health and body awareness and a welcome break from the monotony and stress of the day. She empowers me to feel more confident and capable in movement and in life. She varies our exercises so that they are always appropriately challenging and strengthening. Her cheer and positive demeanor make her the best trainer I’ve ever had. I’ve been very fortunate to work with several personal trainers in the past, but Brinn is by far the most caring, compassionate and attentive to her clients needs. I believe wholeheartedly that Brinn is capable of helping anyone achieve their physical goals with positivity and grace. I plan to be a long-term client and would encourage anyone interested in turning their physical health around to make an appointment for a personal training session and see how incredible they feel after working with such a capable profession.

This place is wonderful! The staff, the mission, the workouts...all of it. I had never tried Barre before my first class here and from the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. As a newbie your name gets added to the wall so that everyone knows your name and can cheer you on. Everything was explain very thoroughly to me and there are always modifications for any move so that you can make the workout work best for your abilities. You get the feeling that all the instructors care genuinely about the people in their class. It feels more like a family than other gyms do. I also really appreciate how involved Auxo is with in the community. They have such a giving mindset, constantly helping to promote wonderful local causes and initiatives. We are so lucky to have such an incredible place like this in our town!

Sara teaching the pound class was awesome! Very fast pace and 30 min went by so fast!

The instructors are kind, encouraging, supportive, and fun. The ladies who participate are all of these things as well. AUXO has cultivated a beautiful network of intelligent, strong, and empowering women. I look forward to going there everyday!

Auxo Fitness is wonderful and everyone there is so welcoming, kind, and encouraging! The classes are available for everyone, no matter your fitness experience, age, or weight. The Barre classes have been a lot of the same moves as I was doing at physical therapy for my hips and knees which has been very helpful. I cannot recommend Auxo enough!

Went to Barre Forte a couple of weeks ago for a girls night birthday bash and had a blast!!! I cant say enough awesome things about Brinn and her team of ladies that run the studio! The class was intense but so much fun and the studio has such a warm and welcoming feel with lots of unique products to purchase. The team at Barre Forte is very friendly, helpful and really make working out fun :) Thanks for the awesome workout Barre Forte!!

WONDERFUL and EXCITING workout! I was not treated as an outcast. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and very helpful. This is the best workout for anyone to go at their own pace and getting real results. When I got home, I wanted to take another class. Very excited to come back in December to take a week of classes with Brinn!

I am currently in my first week of Barre Forte! I can already feel the burn. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff has been so welcoming and the rest of the individuals have, too. I danced all my life, so this workout is right up my alley. I encourage others to sign up for the free week and see if it is something that you are interested. I promise you wont want to stop and youll be on your way to being tone and fit. Join Barre Forte!!!

I cannot express fully how awesome Barre Forte is! The workouts are challenging but also very sustainable. This is the first time that Ive worked out and looked forward to showing up! The staff are incredibly welcoming and nice. The owner, Brinn, is so personable and a great teacher. Definitely give Barre Forte a try!

I love Barre Forte and the culture that is so welcoming to people of any level of fitness. Each class pushes you as much as you would like without being intimidating. I love how Brinn and the the other instructors are so aware of form and being sure no one hurts themselves. Such an easy place to feel comfortable and FUN!

I love Barre Forte! Everyone is always friendly and encouraging throughout class. What struck me right away was how they empower women to be their best and to feel strong and beautiful. Ive only been taking classes for a few months, but I have already noticed changes in my body and my mood. I highly recommend trying it. Every class is a little different and so much fun!

LOVE it here!!!!! In the past few months, I have completely fallen in love with the Barre Forte studio, its instructors, and of course the always amazing selection of workout gear!! As a professional ballet dancer, I struggled to find an additional workout that was both challenging and fun, and I was lucky enough to come across this studio!! The positive environment and amazing workouts made me keep coming back for more! And the first trial week is totally FREE! Thank you, Brinn!!!

Love Barre Forte! I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is. The studio, the instructors and all of the staff are so kind and welcoming. After day one of my free week, I was hooked! The workouts target every area you want to tone, and have several modifications for all levels. I have been taking classes 3-4 days a week, and have not had the same class twice. Brinn does a fantastic job of changing up moves, keeps the music fun, and has such a positive and encouraging personality! There are many activities that allow you to really get to know all of the great ladies that take classes here and the wonderful instructors as well!

Barre Forte is amazing! It offers you a great workout at any fitness. All of the instructors do a great job with providing both motivation and modification. Its truly become an addiction! A huge thank you to Brinn and staff for making me realize I can always do 8 more !

Barre Forte has an awesome boutique inside the studio. The merchandise they carry is great for gifting. I highly suggest you check them out. I havent seen a fitness studio in town like them.

Such a wonderful group of encouraging folks and friends at this studio coupled with an amazing total body workout!

I do not think I can adequately express how wonderful every element of Barre Forte is in one review. After my free week in June I have attended 80 classes, regularly attending 3-4 times per week. I have taken classes with many of the barre-tenders (instructors) and have had nothing but wonderful experiences with each of their unique styles of teaching. The workouts are fantastic (arms, booty, legs, core) and you are able to modify your workout depending on your level without feeling judged or pressured. I leave every class feeling refreshed and motivated to continue this active lifestyle! Brinn and her fabulous team have created such a wonderful atmosphere at Barre Forte and have provided me, and many friends, with an amazing place to spend several hours a week. You could not ask for anything better than Barre Forte, truly a fabulous community!

I have loved my experience here. The different variety of classes has renewed my hope of getting into shape. Fun and friendly atmosphere. I feel great after only a week. Looking forward to more. Thank you.

I’ve only been coming to Barre Forte for a few months, but I’m already feeling stronger and more flexible! The instructors have provided great modifications in every class, so I’ve felt successful since day one. It’s a great community where they care about your goals both in the studio and in life.

I am so happy that I found Barre Forte! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. It only took a week for me to be totally hooked! Its a challenging yet fun workout with encouraging instructors. And if thats not motivating enough, then their merchandise will definitely make you want to get your shake on! Thank you, Brinn, for bringing this amazing studio to Gainesville!

Barre Forte has helped me get back into a workout routine. The variety of classes keeps me from getting bored, the workouts kick my butt yet I want to come back for more, the staff is terrific, I love how easy it is to download the app and schedule my classes, and I love the encouraging atmosphere. My only complaint its that I didnt start working out at Barre Forte sooner!!

Been going to Barre Forte since March and fell in love after my first workout! I finally found a workout I enjoy coming to while getting a great workout. I also love the friendly inviting atmosphere of the studio. If you havent tried it, do it!

The instructors and staff are incredibly welcoming, and they make you feel special as soon as you walk in the door. The space is clean and inviting, and creates a place perfect to clear your mind of daily worries and focus on your body for the time you are there. I have enjoyed the workout and people tremendously, and I have left each class feeling revitalized.

Having set the tennis team record for worst coordination ever in high school (read: I cant hop scotch to save my life), I was understandably nervous heading into my first barre class not knowing what to expect. A month and a half later, I am now a regular at the barre and have loved every minute (minus the glider push-ups)! Barre Forte is a wonderful self-investment for improved health and a fun way to reach new levels of personal fitness. The classes are unique, the instructors always keeping you on your toes and the music never misses a beat. Love BF!

My happy place! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Barre Forte, Brinn and the rest of her team. I started going to the studio back in January to try and tone up and lose the remainder of my baby weight. After one class, I knew I was hooked! Which is crazy for me, because Ive never found a workout before that I actually enjoyed! Ive always dreaded going to the gym. I was intimidated going into my first class, because I had no previous experience AND I was out of shape, but I realized quickly how helpful and motivating the instructors were! I canceled my gym membership in week two and signed up for the Unlimited first month at Barre Forte. I started off by going about twice a week, but now I try for 4-5 (if I can ever find the extra time, Id love to be in there every single day!). I can now say Im back to my pre-baby weight and definitely way more toned than I ever was before! Its much more than a workout for me.. I love the atmosphere, the music, the enthusiasm, the challenges, the events and THE CLOTHES!! :) Not to mention how I feel after class... I feel so energized and happy! Its really incredible what this workout can do for you. Go try a week for free (yes, the first week is really free which is also pretty awesome)... you have nothing to lose!

Brinn and her staff welcomed my wife with open arms. They created a culture that makes the workouts effective, fun and open to anyone. Highly recommend you contact Barre Forte and take advantage of free class. You will fit right in.

Barre is a fantastic low-impact exercise and the instructors at Barre Forte are absolutely wonderful. From the moment I took my first class 6 months ago, I was hooked. I know that when I attend a class at Barre Forte, Im guaranteed a great workout in a supportive and encouraging environment.

The teacher in me gives Barre Forte an A+. The classes are fantastic, the instructors are professional, the fellow barre-goers are enjoyable. Besides the actual class, there are other reasons that this place draws me back and keeps me away from the globo-gym. The studio is inviting: it is sparkly clean, smells pleasant, and the culture caters to women. For example, the ladies room has hair ties in case you forgot yours, and cucumber water and coffee in the front lobby area. This is one hour of my day that I look forward to most!

Just started my first week, and I love it! The workouts are fun and they target all different areas of the body. Ill definitely be coming back after my free first week.

Went to my first barre class which was a donation based class for Miss Gainesville and loved it! I love that they are so involved in the community and the instructors and Brinn the owner are all so personable! I’m already seeing results from the classes too. I joined to get in shape for my wedding but will continue after as well!

I love Barre Forte! Ive always had trouble finding a workout I like and that all changed when I discovered barre. The instructors are personable and knowledgable, and everyone makes an effort to know your name. The classes have the same general structure but each barre tender puts their unique spin on the class. Its bittersweet Ill be moving and had to cancel my membership. Whether youre looking to shake up your fitness routine or on a weight loss journey, Barre Forte is body positive and welcoming.

LOVE BARRE FORTE! I have been attending barre classes for about 2 years. Several great benefits about Barre Forte is that you get a lot of upper body, core, booty and leg workouts. There staff is very welcoming and helpful! They provide you with modifications with injuries or being pregnant. I also enjoy how much they get involved with there clients and there community. For instance, attending there events, like barre to bar, barre to brunch, bring a boy to barre and yogabrew at First Magnitude.

Committing to a barre class was a big step outside my comfort zone. I was 4 months postpartum with my second child, struggling with baby blues, and feeling insecure. Brinn met me at the door of the studio with a welcome smile and a lot of patience. She met me where I was, encouraged me, and celebrated with me as I muddled my way through my first class. Becoming a part of the Barre community has helped me regain confidence and feel stronger than ever!

I love classes at Barre Forte! I always leave class feeling energized and ready to take on my day. The instructors are very caring and their attention to detail helps me maintain good form.

I love barre forte! its a great workout for all ages and I just love the atmosphere. Ive met some wonderful people and always feel great after a class!

I love Barre Forte! I have taken multiple barre fitness classes and barre forte has the perfect balance of strength training with stretching. I always leave feeling strong and relaxed!

I cant say enough great things about Barre Forte! The workouts can be modified for any skill level, and youll see (and feel!) results quickly. Its fun to guess what the workout playlist will be each week! Brinn, her staff (the barre-tenders), and all of us barre babes have a great time both in and out of the studio so theres plenty of opportunities to get to know everyone. Ive been taking Barre Forte classes since June and the atmosphere of the studio will certainly keep me coming back for more!

Barre has been the best workout. I have trimmed and toned my body and have made it a habit since July. The instructors are fabulous and treat you like family! This is the best barre studio in Gainesville

Including a free, unlimited trial week, Ive been going regularly to Barre Forte for almost a month and LOVE it! I have a regular gym membership, but the Barre Forte experience is unique and motivating.The Barre Backs up front and the Barre-tenders (i.e., instructors) are all encouraging and friendly. Each instructor has their own style and each class is different, but the structure and flow is familiar, which is really nice. Tonights 6PM class was a lot of fun and Karas upbeat personality almost makes you forget youre working out – almost!

Great workout for building strength and flexibility. Complementary to running and cycling. The staff is super friendly and the facility is very clean. Appreciate it all.

Really enjoyed this new type of workout and if you havent tried it, try restorative rolling. That class makes your muscles feel relaxed and happy after a hard workout.

I adore Barre Forte. Ive been over 100 times since June. The workouts are fun and challenging and theyve created a fun, social, and supportive environment. I recommend to everyone I know!

Barre Forte is amazing! I have gotten stronger and see significant results from class. It is a fantastic full body strength and sculpting workout and I love the format and exercises in class. But it is the impeccable customer service and kindness that make all the difference. The incredible barretenders at Barre Forte have set aside items for me that I message them about, saved things Ive accidentally left in Lost and Found, remember names, ask about friends and family, and are so thoughtful and supportive. Brinn has cultivated a wealth of friendship and fun, and made a lasting difference in the Gainesville community.

One of the better decisions Ive made since moving back to my hometown was joining Auxo Fitness. I had joined a very large gym with multiple locations just after we moved and it was okay, but there was still something missing. I really wanted to make new friends and meet people with similar interests, but that never happened at this mega gym. I tried it for a little over a year - attending almost every class they offered, but still that sense of community was missing. And then, I read in Gainesvilles Best of 2018 that Auxo Fitness was voted best fitness center so I had to see for myself. I do believe they got it right! Its 1 hour of my day where I get a challenging workout, but not so hard that I dont want to return. Every class/instructor is a little different and personal challenges are offered often so its never boring. Rewards and recognition are given for life events and # of classes attended. With after class fellowships and outside activities, the sense of community is overflowing. Ive made friends and cant wait to see where this journey takes me. If youre on the fence about joining - dont wait - do it now!

I first went to Barre Forte for the workouts, but I keep coming back for the awesome staff that go along with it! Best studio in town! 💕

Barre Forte has a very welcoming environment with a get to know you community feel. The classes are challenging and help to work toward personal goals. I highly recommend Barre Forte in Gainesville.

I have been taking classes at Barre Forte since they opened in May of 2015. They have always been accommodating with any physical issues I might have and I have always felt welcomed. I feel healthier and stronger then I have ever been.

Two girlfriends of mine and myself decided to try Barre Fortess FREE week trial in December; we were so hooked at the end of our week we signed up for an unlimited next month! I highly, highly recommend Barre Forte to any ladies trying to get into shape. No need to be worried if you cant do a particular move because they always provide different level options so that everyone can work at their own pace. And they are HAPPY when people feel comfortable enough to try the option that work for them best! The instructors are all highly knowledgable, friendly, and really take the time to get to know you by name. Even the regulars make you feel immediately comfortable and included. This place will quickly become to feel like a second home and you will ALWAYS leave feeling happy and healthy!

Some of the easiest people to be around. Very easy going down to earth!!! Make getting healthy and in shape fun ! :)

Love, love, love Barre Forte! The super friendly and energetic instructors drive amazing results with creative and challenging workouts. Barre Forte classes incorporate a series of ballet, cardio, and pilates type movements. Barre is a low-impact workout designed to target and isolate major muscle groups. Modifications are offered during classes, which makes barre an all-inclusive class for participants of various skill levels. Aside from an awesome workout Barre Forte has created a sense of community by organizing all sorts of fun activities and events. Come see what all the buzz is about. New clients receive one week unlimited free - completely FREE! One day is enough for most to fall in love with barre, but a week is sure to get you hooked.

Such an awesome workout. Perfect for any fitness level. They will make you feel like part of the family!!!!

I’ve been doing yoga, pilates, and body pump for a while but was excited to try barre. I love the energy and the staff at Barre Forte, it is a great workout I actually look forward to!

Barre is not just for Ballerinas!!For those of us who rocked the leg warmers with Jane Fonda….it is becoming tougher to find a challenging work out routine these days,…one that works for well-worn joints and sub-optimal balance! AUXO fitness, formerly Barre Forte, is a wonderful solution; a combination of fun and “physical therapy”, if you will. The days of Bosu balls and balance boards might be behind you …but Barre is forever! Almost all women over 55-60 (this means me! ) notice an appreciable decline in equilibrium and balance as we age. A former gym rat, now working around a couple herniated discs with residual left sided weakness…I have been through physical therapy x 2 in an effort to regain what I lost, namely my stabililty, and get back “ in shape.” As a physician assistant (PA) in medicine, every day I counsel many, many post menopausal women who bemoan their poor balance, chronic back pain and poor equilibrium. Much like physical therapy, Barre works opposing muscle groups…the rectus abdominals ( two muscles that meet in the middle vertically down our abs), the pelvic girdle, gluteus muscles ( yes, our butts! ) and internal and external obliques. These are the same muscle groups that your physical therapists target when you go for balance/equilibrium strengthening, or for Physical Therapy after a back injury. Core strength is critical to maintaining stability and helping to minimize chronic back pain. At AUXO fitness, the age range is probably 25-75…. we are all working toward the same goal, but for many of us, stability and flexibility is critical to aging well. If you have been to physical therapy once and know what your goals are, classes at AUXO are cheaper, and help you to enhance what you learned at physical therapy in a friendly, fun and multi-generational atmosphere. The barre is always within reach for those of us with sub-par balance, and there is virtually no impact to stress joints and knees. Small repetitive muscle movements to the point of fatigue can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age, and modified to your own endurance and abilities. The staff at AUXO is never judgmental. Fitness here is not a competition, but a common goal regardless of age.I have to admit that, before I herniated 2 discs, I always thought Barre was for “weenies”…but I was SO wrong. Barre builds strength and endurance in a different way than high intensity training, or running. This is the form of exercise that any women, all shapes and sizes, can benefit from. The more you go to class, the more you are able to “find your edge”…i.e. learn progressively how to tighten and isolate each muscle group, always maintaining alignment, to maximize your benefit…and in the long run, your stability. The instructors are always there to offer a substitute exercise or modification for those of us with bad backs or shoulder (read rotator cuff!) injuries. Think about it…. This is exercise for life. A long and healthy life. You don’t need to have the plastic surgery that has seen Jane Fonda to almost 80….but you DO need to have the physical fitness to be an active post menopausal woman with strong bones and a confident step. Remember Barre really isn’t just for Ballerinas, but for the divas of the fitness world who want to go down strong!Kathy Connery PA-C

From the moment I stepped through the door I was blown away by how welcoming and inclusive everyone was. I’m traveling a lot this year and have attended classes at many fitness studios around the country and Auxo Fitness has been the first that felt like I belonged. The instructors knew me by name practically from day one which is a huge reason I kept coming back! I hadn’t taken many barre classes in the past and wasn’t sure I could do multiple classes in a week, but everyone is so encouraging and supportive that their energy and enthusiasm keep me coming back. I really love to balance the barre classes with Body Flow, Pilates, and yoga. I also love the variety of events insnd outside of the studio. This place is a true GEM in Gainesville!!

Best Workout Ive ever had! Full body in an hour! Great music, great instructors, fantastic energy! LOVE IT!!

Barre Forte is the best barre studio in Florida! Such warm, welcoming staff and a challenging, ever-changing workout.

I came to Barre Forte because I struggle with chronic pain and need core strengthening. I was so impressed with the sense of community I found there--women of all ages and shapes coming together to not only work their bodies, but love them at the same time. I also found a strong integrity among all the persons working there--friendly & helpful, but more than that, they are honestly interested in me. I have instructors offering to help me w/modifications where my body cant do a move, Im allowed to move a bit more slowly w/o any judgment or criticism if my body needs that.In addition to the physical aspects, Barre Forte Gainesville offers fun non-exercise events and has events for charitable causes --its not just a business; its a true Community. (Plus the store has great athleisure wear!!!)

Ive been taking classes for 3 weeks and I can already feel the difference everywhere; most importantly in my mental health. This is the hardest workout Ive done, especially legs and butt. Brinn and her team really invest in our wellbeing and deliver a kick-ass experience every time.

Barre Forte-Gainesville has literally changed my life. The community of clients and instructors that Brinn has cultivated is truly something special. Ive never felt more welcomed than I do at the studio. Everyone is encouraged to meet their best and not the person next to them. Every single class offered at the studio (barre, pilates, bodyflow, yoga, etc.) can be modified to fit each person and their fitness level. There are always special classes (like kickboxing) or challenges (can you take 50 classes in 60 days?) offered to shake things up and provide even more ways to increase our abilities. I cant recommend this place enough.

Barre Forte is addicting! Brinn and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming and the workout is amazing. Once you go, you know! There is no going back for me

Love the instructors, barretenders & Barrebabes! Such a fun environment to get fit.

Finding an exercise routine has never been easy for me. Ive never really been able to stay committed or motivated at something for more than two weeks generally. Whenever I would force myself to workout, I never truly felt fufilled afterwards. That all changed when my friend introduced me to Barre Forte. The first day I went, I was out of breath and sore in places I didnt even know existed but there was something about it and I decided I HAD to go back for more! I find myself motivated and pushing myself to attend class at least 6x a week and I have noticed huge results. I used to shop for certain types of clothes so that I could hide areas that I was unhappy with (like my arms) but now I buy clothes that show them off instead since I am becoming more toned! Brinn and the rest of the team are absolutely fantastic and incredibly encouraging. The atmosphere is so welcoming and events like Bring a Boy to Barre are refreshing. Barre is now part of my everyday life and I could not imagine it any other way!

Always a Five star experience at Barre Forte Gainesville!! Love the instructors and all the wonderful barre babes that go there 💛!!

Are you looking for a truly fun and judgement free place to get stronger and healthier? This just may become your new Happy place! Brinn and her staff of teachers are able to accommodate all clients and help them find success no matter what place you are starting at. The gorgeous facility with tons of amenities and a wonderful boutique (the only place in GNV to buy Alo!) are the icing on the cake.

The amazing #barrebabes at Bare Forte will encourage you to push yourself and do the best that you can. The atmosphere is always positive and fun, especially with their playlists. I had no idea what I wanted to do, except be a new active me and I certainly found that me at Barre Forte Gainesville

I love this Studio...Its a great workout! Ive never felt so pretty and sweaty at the same time!

Barre Forte has become a sanctuary for me to regroup and take a few moments to refresh. I am a yoga instructor in Orlando and had our second child in November, but she developed a heart condition and has spent her whole life in the NICU and PCICU. She was airlifted to Shands in January and I hadnt been able to come back to any physical practice except what I could do in the hospital room. Then one of the wonderful staff members at Shands Childrens Hospital recommend I try a Barre Forte class and my stay in Gainesville was instantly transformed. I finally am leaving the hospital room and taking a few moments for me which is giving me so much more energy to be present day in day out at Shands.The staff at Barre Forte and the students are absolutely incredible! I have never felt so welcomed and embraced by a group ever. Everyday they ask me how my Amelia is doing and encourage me to drop the mommy guilt and take a few minutes for me so I can give her 100%. It will be a very sad day when I have to say farewell to my new found friends at Barre Forte, but I will be coming back just so I can see everyone and take any of their amazing classes.Hands down best group of women and studio you could go to. I truly am starting to love my Barre family.

Great classes and amazing staff!! You feel just like family here...plus you break a sweat!!

Great community of people to work out with. Highly recommend!!!!

A super friendly place and a tough, fun, ultra rewarding workout! Worth it!!

Great workout and nice people!

Great workout and great atmosphere!

Awesome classes, fantastic results!

The most addicting workout ever!

Terrific workout!
