Best virtual workout classes!! I started with Andrea when she had her cute studio in Walnut Creek. She is so kind, caring, and extremely welcoming. Now about the the workout. As a bystander, it looked like it wasn't going to be that hard but man...I WAS WRONG. Her workout caters to ALL LEVELS of fitness and makes you embrace the shake of muscles that you didn't know could shake. I took a really long break from Openbarre, and came back when Andrea went FULLY VIRTUAL. This became such a great option for me as it gave me no excuse since I could do the workouts at home. You can do live classes via Zoom, which is awesome if you want a sense of community OR you could do it whenever you want to and watch a pre-recorded one. Andrea ALWAYS uploads new videos weekly, so don't think you're going to have to watch the same videos over and over again. Also, she sprinkles in challenges throughout the year that really helps you create a habit of working out, if you didn't have one already. Her monthly rates are reasonable, so what are you waiting for!?!?! Join openbarre!

Best Workout, so personalized & fun! Andrea is amazing, I have known her since she ran an in-person studio many years ago where I used to live. I rejoined her online studio earlier this year, and its still the best workout ever. I tried a few other programs without the same results, and you can't beat how personalized it is, she sends emails and keeps us updated on instagram, and always answers when I have questions. She's the real deal, and she knows her stuff! I love the barre classes which are low impact but also so challenging, but that she also offers strength classes, which are so effective for all of my goals (weight loss, getting stronger and feeling great!) Andrea always offers really good modifications to either make the workout easier or harder depending on where you're at so its great for all levels. Go join a class or a workout challenge at Open Barre, you won't regret it!

OG in-person member, Newer virtual member I was a member when Open Barre was an in-person studio in the Bay Area for about 4 years. When Andrea moved I canceled my membership and figured if I was going to do virtual workouts, I could do others I already had access to. I am not a naturally fit/active person, and barre is the only workout I actually enjoy. Stopping left me feeling off, like I was missing something. Other workouts left me feeling unchallenged, or I just skipped them because I hated them. I finally joined one of OB’s monthly challenges in May of this year. My body immediately started to respond, I could tell that barre was what was missing! I joined back up as a member and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions for my overall health. I am working up to classes 5 days a week, but even doing 3 days a week regularly, I’ve noticed a change physically and even more so mentally. Andrea is very informative during workouts, gives great cues and modifications, and is very relatable. She is very generous with her time and wants to see her members succeed. She shares all necessary equipment and tools, and will even create customized plans individually. I am so glad I am a member again.

Open Barre is my favorite workout! I've had the pleasure of being part of Andrea's Open Barre classes for several years, and it's been an incredible fitness journey! Andrea's science-based system, which incorporates a variety of class types targeting different muscle groups, sets these workouts apart. One aspect I truly appreciate is modifications and variations options that Andrea provides during workouts. During my pregnancy and postpartum periods, it was a lifesaver, ensuring I could perform them safely. Her clear explanations of proper exercise techniques and the muscles each routine targets make her classes accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level. The classes strike a balance between challenging and enjoyable. Andrea provides options for adjusting intensity using props and modifications, and she explains these choices clearly. This flexibility makes the classes suitable for individuals of any fitness level, and progress is inevitable if you stick to the routine. I also took on a 6-week workout challenge with Andrea, as I needed some help into getting back to workout routing safely after I had my baby. Her personalized guidance and schedule were instrumental in improving my body composition and strength significantly. If you're in search of safe, fun, and effective workouts, Open Barre with Andrea is the perfect match for you. Don't hesitate to give it a try; you won't be disappointed!

Better than other virtual classes I like the options for modifying, which is usually what is lacking in a virtual class. The options make the class feel personalized. Also I like how you can save the classes that work best for you and redo them.
