I just tried this for the first time and had a great experience. I'm a long-time pilates worker-outer and this was new and fun. Melissa (instructor) was upbeat but not too perky and obviously an experienced, confident instructor. I loved the addition of glide boards for a cardio component to the otherwise strength-based program. Clean, friendly studio also. Not pretentious nor exclusive.

I've been attending Tobie's Beyond Barre classes for almost three years and absolutely LOVE the entire experience. Tobie is such a knowledgeable, friendly instructor and the new studio is a peaceful, inviting space for every workout. The barre workouts are a total-body-conditioning experience and I have discovered muscles I thought I lost after high school! Thank you, Tobie!
