  • <autoplay speed=5></autoplay>"Word that comes to mind is: WOW! I have taken Pilates and Barre but have never taken Arc Barrel and the way I felt during and after the class really went with their motto: Pilates and barre for every body! The instructor Suzy shows a real love and passion to challenge yourself but also learning new ways to stretch and engaged your body. Also, the analogies she would used to describe how to move your body was so helpful! I definitely will be back to take more classes!"

Trying barre for the first time was an amazing experience, and the instructor was incredibly welcoming, making everyone feel at ease, no matter their fitness background. The atmosphere was so inviting--there was no pressure, just a supportive community."
