Hi! I'm Maureen and learned about barre3 from the podcast, “How I Built This,” with Guy Raz. At the time, I worked out because I felt I had to or I should. I had creaky joints and I felt like I was constantly recovering from some injury after pushing myself too far. After hearing Sadie speak about barre3’s values and philosophy, I was intrigued but skeptical it could be fun or restorative. I started with barre3 online, alone, in my basement. The focus on alignment helped with the creaky joints, the positive messages from instructors helped with the feelings of dread about working out, and the empowerment I got from being in charge of me helped me to better know and appreciate my body. My team and I opened barre3 Iowa City in 2019 and the highlight of every day is you. We love meeting and watching you grow. We love a room of people working together but differently. We love being there for you when you’re not at your best. And we love seeing the joy of someone who is learning to love themselves and their body. Join us!

Barre3 Iowa City is on Melrose Avenue, just west of Kinnick Stadium and the twelve-story Stead Family Children's Hospital that rises beside the University of Iowa's medical campus. After the first quarter of every home game, the whole stadium turns for the Iowa Wave, waving up at the kids watching from the hospital's top floors—the most beloved minute of any Hawkeye Saturday. Closer to the studio, Sidekick Coffee and Books sits next door on Melrose, an independent cafe and bookshop in University Heights. Whether you're heading to campus, meeting friends nearby, or looking for a consistent fitness routine, Barre3 Iowa City makes it easy to prioritize movement and wellness throughout your week. 

Our barre3 Iowa City studio offers three classes that complement each other across your week. Barre3 Signature blends strength, cardio, and mindfulness into one complete full-body workout, using the barre, core ball, and weights to build strength, increase flexibility, and sharpen balance. B3 Strength is the deeper muscle work—heavier weights and slow, deliberate movement that builds the kind of strength you feel in your everyday life. B3 Cardio brings the heat—a high-energy, full-body push that leaves you feeling accomplished and clear-headed, not wiped out. You'll leave feeling stronger and more capable than when you walked in. Every fitness level is welcome.
