Barre Base Dunedin

I have never stuck with an exercise class before Barre Base. Rosa and her team are so welcoming, friendly and really inspire! They have reached the perfect balance of pushing you to do better but also giving yourself the space to move in a way that resonates with your body on any given day. The space is beautiful and they have everything you need for a weirdly relaxing work out. You just have to show up! You won’t regret it.

I was really nervous to start Barre Base classes and put it off for ages as I don't come from a dancing background/am not the most coordinated. All I can say is I wish I started sooner because where has Barre Base been all my life?! I love the energy of the teachers, that you don't have to come from a dance background, that it challenges you physically and mentally each time and is a great release. Barre is something I really look forward to in my days and I highly recommend it to anyone!!

Barre Base is a very special place. The studio is light and beautiful. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. I particularly like the way that instructions are always given as to how to avoid injuries. The teachers achieve the delicate balance of encouraging us to push ourselves while at the same time always listening to our body and only doing as much as feels right. I finished my first class a bit of a wobbly wreck as I had been away from exercise of that sort for a long time. Thankfully I kept going and have made huge progress in developing strength and stamina. I used to drag myself to a gym out of a sense of duty. Barre Base is totally different. I love going and hate to miss a class. The atmosphere is friendly and personal and I feel cared for there. Being older (61), I was a bit hesitant about going along but there are all different ages there and it feels like everyone fits in. There are many different styles of class to suit different levels of fitness and interest and within each style there is lots of variety so that no two classes are the same. Numbers are limited in each session to avoid overcrowding and the booking system is superb and very easy to navigate. Totally recommend. Can't fault the place!

As someone who does not usually enjoy exercise, I was so pleasantly surprised that I was feeling excited to join Barre Base's classes. The teachers are fabulous and there is a lovely variety of classes to keep you interested. I love that the classes can be tough enough to give you a good workout, but not too tough to get through. The first week left my muscles feeling a little sore, but I feel much stronger after only a month of joining. I highly recommend these classes!

I am new to Barre Base and am in love with it!The teachers are wonderful with their encouragement and explanation of which muscles to be engaging through each movement. After recovering from a few injuries I love the accepting environment to work at your own level with no pressure to push yourself unless you want to! I leave each class invigorated and happy ♡

Barre Base has completely transformed my life for the better and I have signed up forever! I am the strongest, healthiest and happiest I have ever been and getting stronger every day. The incredible support of the instructors and other members keeps me so motivated and engaged with my self care journey. I go to the beautiful studio or workout at home with Barre Base Anywhere every day. I get such a powerful full body workout and the impact level is perfect for me to build into my daily routine. I love the mix of classes and mindful focus on breath. The stretch and yoga classes perfectly balance the intensity of the barre burn! I am so grateful for the connection I now feel with body, moving with grace, strength and freedom thanks to Barre Base!

Rosa and her team are amazing! All highly trained and knowledgeable teachers. Love the variety of different classes and every class is worth your time! You will feel motivated to exercise with Barre base!

An absolute gem. Rosa and her team are unfailingly kind, helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable. Barre Base is not a noisy, 'shouty' gym but a wonderful oasis of thoughtful, effective movement. There are all sorts of classes from gentle stretches to yoga to cardio - all with options so everyone can be as comfortable or as challenged as they choose. I woke up one morning and found a whole load of muscles I never knew I had. They'd just sneaked up on me. Barre Base is affordable. It works.

Barre Base Dunedin offers an inclusive and very community driven space for people of all fitness levels. For me personally, I have found this style of exercise very transformative for my body as it targets the 'hard to reach' muscles, that as a female - I endeavour to tone & tighten.Rosa & her wonderful teachers are the perfect combination of 'hands on & hands off' allowing you the autonomy to try things for yourself, while ensuring you are looking after your joints and body.While their classes are low impact; I always notice a burn and see results within weeks.It's the perfect class to add into my daily routine as I am a runner and need to be conscious that I am still giving my muscles the opportunity to grow and evolve.The stretch classes on offer at Barre are some of the best - my favourite's are the Sunday Self Care and Yoga Barre which allow me the space to really slow down from the hustle & bustle of corporate life and focus on looking after myself.Rosa has also supported a number of CSR activities across Dunedin - which really encourages me to continually return to Barre. Its fantastic to see them involved in initiatives such as Dunedin Beach cleans and being a leading sponsor for these.As a current Auckland resident; I make sure to always visit Barre when I'm in Dunedin as the studio offers a very special and zen space for me to relax into a work out. I'm yet to find somewhere that offers such incredible value and quality anywhere else here, in Dunedin.

Everyone needs Barre Base and Rosa in their life. As a barre, yoga and pilates teacher myself I can say I am constantly inspired to move at Barre Base. Barre has made me feel even stronger than ever before. Rosa is so passionate about what she does and it really shows in her teaching. All the teachers are so great at what they do. The community is kind and welcoming. You have to give it a go!
