Soundbarre is a form-focused barre fitness studio located in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Our method provides a low-impact, full body workout proven to strengthen and sculpt, while also promoting a sense of focus and stress relief. With an emphasis on posture, we use a ballet barre to achieve optimal positioning in our classes which draw insights from Pilates, yoga, and classical dance. While our classes are NOT dance classes, music is a major part of the Soundbarre experience. We understand that a workout only truly works if it’s sustainable, so our goal is to provide fun, creative, and challenging classes that never feel boring. We celebrate all body types and hope to help our clients fall more in love with their bodies and themselves each day! #soundMIND #barreBODY.

The best part about tabata style cardio is, "you can do anything for 20 seconds!" This class is beginner friendly and welcomes all levels of fitness.
Our instructors are certified and trained to bring you a safe, fun, and effective workout, and each instructor brings their own unique style to the barre.
