“I can express how much I love going to barreworks. Since starting in Feburary 2013, I have lost over 25lbs. Barreworks makes working out and staying healthy fun. The instructors truly care about you and are great at working you harder than you ever thought possible. Even after a year, I am still constantly challenged in class. With fun initiatives like the 60 day challenge and prizes, it is impossible to lose motivation. Barreworks is no joke. I challenge you to make it through any class without breaking a sweat.”

“I can’t believe how much stronger I am now than a year ago. It was amazing how quickly I noticed changes in my energy and stress levels after I started coming to classes. I have muscle tone I hadn’t seen since I quit gymnastics over a decade ago!”
- Sarah M
“Yes, the classes are amazing (the best in Toronto), but the instructors and front desk go above and beyond. From greeting you by name when you walk through the front door, to the personal attention they give to you in class.”
- Michelle L
“I thought I’d have to be a dancer or be coordinated to enjoy the classes. I am definitely neither of those things, but I still love the classes! Seeing the definition in my arms has been a huge motivator for me, although my poor friends must be tired of seeing me flex my biceps all the time.”
- Samantha M.
“The classes are challenging, dynamic, and invigorating… Not only has it made me more toned and stronger, it’s also been great in managing stress and keeping me sane. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the results come so quickly and keep on coming!”
- Valentine H
“Since joining Barreworks I have not only gotten stronger, but I have more energy throughout the day and am constantly inspired to practice a healthy lifestyle outside of class.”
- Melissa B
“A distinguishing feature of the classes, to my mind, is that they are taught by dancers. Being surrounded by artists so passionate about and dedicated to their art has certainly made me rethink my own career objectives (for the better).”

“[Barreworks] has the most positive and beautiful energy that I had never experienced at a gym before… The personal training sessions with Paulina have taken my fitness to a whole new level as she has pushed me far beyond any place I thought I could reach.”

“ … all the instructors see the strength and beauty within and are the most motivational, amazing, beautiful people I have met in a long time.”

“I feel so much better about myself and people are noticing. Fitness has now become an important part of my life and I don’t know if that would have happened if it weren’t for the studio at Queen & Bathurst.”
- Michelle
“I’ve had workout ADD – get bored doing the same thing; I’m not bored doing barre. The difference from instructor to instructor (even doing the same class) keeps it interesting.”
- Stacy T
“This class is, to put it bluntly, my crack. When I’m not doing it, I want to be… My body is getting fitter faster than it ever has, and the workout has been great post-injury.”
- Sarah Kelsey, Huffington Post Test Drive
“A fun and worthwhile core workout… [for] anyone bored with generic core workouts or looking to develop mobility and balance.”
- The Toronto Star
“What I appreciated was the variation in pace & the ability to modify, up or down, for ANY fitness level.”
- BODYMORPHOLOGY blog
“This class feels like the genetically engineered dream child of ballet and aerobics. Clearly some serious thought has gone into creating a workout that utilizes the muscles of a dancer through movements that are accessible to a layman.”
