    Barre Forward is probably the warmest and most inviting fitness studio I've ever been to. All of the instructors make an effort at a personal connection and the clientele is so friendly. The workouts are so varied and they constantly keep it fresh and new so it never gets old and keeps my body guessing. BF kept me active and sane through the pandemic with virtual and outoor options and I'm so happy to be back in the studio now! Do yourself a favor and come try a class at Barre Forward!!

    I have been a member at Barre Forward since 2022. I can honestly say that I continue to love each and every class, all formats, and all of the incredible instructors! Megan has created a family feel at her studio! The motto “Come as you are” that adorns the studio wall rings so true! At 60 years young, I’ve never felt intimidated at any class and enjoy taking classes with the younger gals. It’s a bonus to admire the little ones in the cozy child care area which is such a perk for the moms who attend! 5 stars plus!

    You won’t regret trying this studio for so many reasons. The owner is incredibly welcoming knows everyone’s name is flexible and so helpful and always available! Very clean studio very small class sizes all equipment provided FULL body workout even some breath work a little yoga. Very positive environment with a sense of community for all ages and body types and the best part is, you will see results on your body! I love that every class Is unique no two are the same you won’t get bored and I am always challenged. You can modify any move and many are wicked hard. You will leave having had fun and feeling accomplished ! membership options are flexible based on your need and the cost to bring a friend is not unreasonable.

    Barre Forward is great! The instructors are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The studio offers a variety of classes, and class times throughout the day. They even have CHILD CARE, which is super convenient. Megan adds a personal touch by hosting fun little events throughout the year! If you’re looking for a local Barre studio, look no further.

    Barre Forward has been such a great experience so far - I have never tried barre classes before and am loving how hard/fun these classes are! Every class is different so there is no chance of getting bored and the stretching is the best part. I leave feeling so good every time!

    Love the energy at this studio! Instructors are knowledgeable and personal. And offer fun events, promotions and giveaways as well.

    Can’t say enough good things about this studio. I never did barre before a friend of mine dragged me to class one day, and now I’m here 4-6 times a week. Megan has truly done a wonderful job curating an exceptional studio experience from the variety of classes, challenges, in studio and out of studio events, and especially the instructors. They all keep me on my toes, and even on days when I desperately want to stay in bed, I’m ALWAYS glad I showed up for myself.

    Barre Forward is such a hidden gem in the Arnold/Severna Park area. The owner, Megan and all of the instructors are so positive, upbeat, encouraging, and kind. If I miss classes for a bit, they notice. It makes me feel valued! They address you by name and the studio is so beautiful inside. All classes are held in the same room. It’s a very positive environment and one that I look forward to entering each week

    I took my first barre class in March and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The studio is immaculate and has a wonderful signature scent, so as soon as I walk in I relax. Every class includes stretching, muscle strengthening exercises, and a bit of mindfulness, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. The instructors do a great job at giving verbal cues in addition to modeling the moves, so even when I'm completely unfamiliar with something I can figure it out quickly. Highly recommend Barre Forward!

    Love Barre Forward! It is such a welcoming, fun studio. The instructors are awesome and give a great work out and love the child care factor! I’m So happy I found Barre Forward!

  • 5/5 Jennifer M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Barre Forward!! The enviroment is so welcoming and the classes are low impact but super challenging. No matter where I am in my fitness journey, Barre Forward is always part of my routine. Highly recommend to anyone at any fitness level.

  • 5/5 Shannon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely adore this studio! Every instructor is incredible and a guaranteed great workout and class. I love that no class is ever the same and especially enjoy the barre heavy class to encourage me to explore heavier weights in my practice. Thank you Barre Forward!

  • 5/5 Madelyn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love Barre Forward. The community is friendly and positive. The team is accepting and willing to work with all levels including people who are new to barre! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, impeccably clean and always has incredible smelling candles lit. I cannot recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 1 year ago on Google
    I can’t say enough amazing things about Barre Forward. I feel like myself when I am there. Sometimes I come for a really amazing workout, sometimes for the stretching and breathing, and sometimes for the people, but more often for all three. The instructors are amazing. I normally select classes by time and not instructor and it’s like there is some higher power that gives me the instructor I needed that day. They all give the same amazing experience but their individual personalities, support, care, and style are what really makes this place special. The fact that they offer childcare is the cherry on top. Everyone is welcome and I love how different and supportive the other members are. Many of us are moms and there is always so much support in the room. I took a break for personal reasons at one point and the owner Megan, one of the kindest people, called just to check in. I rejoined and have felt like my strongest self since. It really is a special place to be, to grow, and to workout. Love Barre Forward!!!

    This is a great studio, with excellent instructors. The instructors are attentive, helpful and kind. It’s a small studio relative to the large corporate studios which makes the experience even more personable. It’s a lovely, calming environment, very safe, clean as well as fun. There is no crazy pressure, just friendly, excellent guidance, great music and genuinely nice people. And the outdoor classes are fabulous!

  • 5/5 Diane F. 2 years ago on Google
    Love it. While the moves may be small, you will definitely feel the burn. Fun workouts. Great music, staff, and environment. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to stay/get in shape while also having fun. I’m 73 years young! If I can do it so can you!

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 2 years ago on Google
    I joined Barre Forward earlier this year after searching for a local option that could offer both virtual and in person classes. It was the best decision! Barre Forward offers the flexibility to take a class in the studio, join virtually over Zoom or choose a class from their on demand library. Megan and the other instructors are so warm and welcoming and make you feel right at home!

  • 5/5 Lacey B. 2 years ago on Google
    Empowering, wholesome, and grounding. A runner’s secret weapon. You’ll discover muscles you never knew you had. I love that there are no set routines, every class is different, keeping it fresh, challenging and fun! The instructors are warm and welcoming and will guide you through every move. I took one class and was hooked. I highly recommend Barre Forward.

  • 5/5 Kaitlin P. 2 years ago on Google
    Barre Forward is the sweetest barre studio! They offer a little bit of everything for everyone ~ longer classes, “barre express” classes, cardio barre, even mommy and me classes! They also offer in-person, livestream, and on-demand classes. The instructors are professional, friendly, and upbeat and take the time to assist with posture and form. They also offer different challenges every few months, which are so fun and motivating! Try a class at Barre Forward and bring a friend ~ you won’t be disappointed!

    I have been attending barre classes since 2015. I have past my personal 1000 class milestone. I have experienced classes at other venues, both franchise studios and fitness centers, Barre Forward is in a category all by itself. It is an actual community. Of course you can breeze in and take a class and then breeze out of the studio -- but the Barre Forward difference is that you WILL NOT WANT to just breeze in and out! You will want to stay and chat with your classmates and the instructor. You will want to comment on the beautiful and cheerful vibe. You will want to tell your instructor how much you loved the playlist (that Barre Forward instructors curate for each class! That's right, it is not dictated by some corporate robot). Megan, the owner, is an absolute angel. She offers personal, clear, and quality communication. There are NO charges or fees or surprises that you cannot discuss with her. There are no surprise changes to the membership rates or class packages. There are late cancel fees, of course, it is a business after all -- But it is a business for humans that is being run by excellent humans, so if you have a query you will never be met by a "well, that is just corporate policy and there is nothing we can do about it" attitude. Finally, Barre Forward opened it's doors in spring 2019 with a group of talented instructors. The same group of instructors are still teaching there today! As someone who attended hundreds of classes elsewhere before arriving at Barre Forward this astonishes me AND reinforces my perception that this studio is just a very special sort of place. The clients are happy and the people who work there are happy. If you are looking for a little haven for yourself, you should join us. We will welcome you!

    I've been loving Barre Forward's classes, instructors, class mates, and overall vibe! As a professional in the non-diet, body positive space, the mind-body emphasis in these classes is exactly what I was looking for! When the instructors say "Come as you are", they totally mean it and that makes me feel so welcome.

  • 5/5 Janice C. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been a member at Barre Forward since the beginning and it's such a wonderful place. Whether you are new to barre or an old pro, you will feel at home at any level. Megan, the owner, is so welcoming and all the instructors are awesome (especially Nicolette). This is a great local spot!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline S. 1 year ago on Google
    Barre Forward is a beautiful boutique barre studio and is truly one of a kind. The studio is kept very clean with plenty air purifiers and goes above and beyond to ensure all guests feel safe and welcome. The staff are always timely and positive and offer modifications to everyone at every level. There are a variety of classes from cardio to heavier weights and I feel like I can get most of my workout needs in one studio. Great workout variety, energizing music, friendly staff, and flexible class times. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Sarah D. 1 year ago on Google
    I am so thankful I joined barre forward. I was looking for a good workout, in a fun and positive environment, and I found it here! Class times are convenient and the instructors are incredible. I recommend this studio to anyone looking to get stronger and have fun while doing it!

  • 5/5 Jess 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I became a member of Barre Forward about two years ago. It is everything I was looking for— excellent classes, always-changing music, and fast in and out for working out during my lunch hour. Megan does a wonderful job of fun, motivating challenges/incentives as well as low-pressure social events for those looking to build a community around their exercise! The classes allow for a range of levels and I feel stronger, healthier and youthful learning new things and challenging myself.

    Barre forward is so fun and creative! The instructors are so knowledgeable, kind, experienced, and compassionate. Each class is so unique and it's easy to make the barre classes part of a daily exercise routine. Babies at the Barre was so fun and really helped me get my exercise routine back on track. I also loved the "witch way to the barre" outdoor barre class at Ego Alley Park and the Thanksgiving "set your table top" - it's easy to get excited about the classes and I want my daughter to understand how important it is to exercise daily and stay accountable.

  • 5/5 Lindsay E. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I first joined Barre Forward for a 2 week promotion back in 2020 and have been hooked ever since! I love referring people to this studio because the classes are engaging, instructors are knowledgable, and there is a lot of variety of class times. The owner, Megan keeps things exciting with various challenges, giveaways, retreats, and theme classes. The icing on the cake is that some classes even have childcare available! My little ones love coming to 'Mommy's Workout.' Try out this studio.... you wont regret it.

  • 5/5 Brittany S. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I absolutely love Barre Forward. All of the instructors have unique styles making each class a unique and awesome workout. I appreciate the littles lounge, which makes being a mom and prioritizing fitness so much easier. I also like the array of times the classes are offered which make it easier for me as a working mom to make sure I can get a workout in. If you want a positive and supportive workout environment, look no further!

  • 5/5 Angela M. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Barre Forward is a wonderful place. I truly feel valued, capable and safe each time I step foot in the studio. I started out knowing nothing about barre, yoga or pilates and I never once felt judged or intimidated by the instructors or other women taking the classes. Barre Forward has created a really great community with its practice.

  • 5/5 Kim B. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Barre Forward is simply fabulous! They have friendly instructors who make the classes fun and challenging, but never intimidating. There is no feeling of judgement, and they are very willing and helpful to give you modifications if you need them. I highly recommend if you are new to barre or have been doing it for years!

  • 5/5 Adrienne P. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This barre studio has been a game changer for my post partum experience working out. I love that I can bring my kids! The Littles Lounge only allows a few children, and is right next to where you work out. That makes me feel very comfortable, and I know they’re getting good care so I can really get that time for myself. The instructors are all wonderful. Going there feels like a deep breath!
