I'm a little biased as I've been doing barre for years. I've tried just about every kind of barre out there and I always find myself the most comfortable at Barre3. The instructors are always friendly and non-judgmental. Barre3 in particular encourages everyone to "make it your own" so you can tailor the workout to however you feel that day. They don't threaten you if you take a break, and they want you to work hard and see progress, but not kill yourself. This studio in particular always offers great hands-on adjustments as well, much better than anywhere else I have been. They also really help first time class goers, so if barre is new to you, this is a great non-intimidating place. Seriously, do this over Pure Barre.
