Xtend Barre Alexandria

This place has a unique set of trainers who are all so passionate about their craft. The studio spaces are decked out meticulously and each class is carefully created in its own right. I love training here!

I'm loving the studio, the classes and the instructors. They have delivered specific care and instructions while pregnant, making my workout safe and enjoyable. They are located in a great spot and with lots of parking around.

I’ve been coming to Xtend Barre Alexandria for over 9 years - through pregnancies, post partum recovery and as I approach mid life! I keep coming back as the awesome instructors make the classes fun and challenging (even at 6 am!), and offer lots of support for all levels of experience.

Found my new Xtend fam at Xtend Alexandria. Beautiful space and the best instructors. Look forward to every class and always get a smiling greeting as I walk through the door. Thanks ladies you are all amazing! Xxx

Have done 4 reformer pilates classes here and absolutely love the friendly and supportive energy of all the classes. Being a newbie to reformer, the instructors have been very attentive to ensuring I am activating the right muscle groups to get the most out of my classes. They also have sticky socks to purchase if you ever forget to bring them on the day. The studio itself is beautiful, well kept and bright making classes pleasant. Classes for reformer are no more than 6 giving you lots of attention during a session. Highly recommend especially if you are new to reformer

I just love Xtend. The studio is beautiful and always spotless; the instructors are lovely, personable (they know everyone by name) and very good at what they do. No two classes are the same, which keeps me motivated. I can’t recommend enough.

Over the years due to moving around, I've been a member of many different gyms or yoga studios. Xtend Barre Alexandria is the best by far. The team of instructors are so friendly, encouraging. Their attention to making sure you understand the correct posture/position to get the most out of the workout has been an amazing learning experience. Love the variety of different classes too. The studio is clean with a beautiful ambience. Love, love, love it.

I’ve been coming to this studio for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else. The range of classes keeps it different and challenging. The instructors are always welcoming and supportive. The introduction of reformer pilates has been great. I’ve never done reformer before but love the small classes and the more focussed emphasis on technique and strength.

Joining XBA has been joyous, I look forward to every class, and the variety and scheduling is fabulous.

The atmosphere and facilities are second to none, every instructor is attentive, warm and not afraid to laugh. I not only feel stronger and more capable as I complete more Barre sessions but mentally it’s been incredible to feel so supported by an incredible team of women, and all the community that get involved. Wish I’d joined sooner, highly recommend.

I was never a “gym” person but when a friend persuaded me to try a class at Xtend Barre Alexandria (with the promise of being able to see the gorgeous studio dog “Elvis”), I discovered that I simply needed to find the right place. The mix of classes at this studio is perfect, I love the variety on offer.

Xtend Barre Alexandria has an amazing team of staff, and has been such a lovely community to be part of. Even through the COVID lockdowns, the online classes were one of the few pieces of “normality” that remained.

I’ve never been so healthy and active before, 2 years since I started and I still love walking through that door (and patting that dog haha).

The instructors are so knowledgeable and able to provide modifications as needed for every level of fitness and injury etc. They looked after me all through my pregnancy and now in my post partum recovery.

Definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking to try Barre, Pilates or Yoga, and wanting to find a lovely community at the same time.

XBA is the best studio I've been part of, can't recommend it enough. I've been practising pilates for more than a decade and the instruction here is excellent. Plus a really warm and friendly vibe, comfortable studios & new reformers. Love the XBA team:)

Absolutely love the vibe at this studio. Trainers are all wonderful and classes are fun and challenging. There is also a diverse bunch of members who are very welcoming, non-intimidating and friendly. So glad I found this little gem!

I have been coming to XBA for many years now and this is my 2nd home. It is a beautiful studio with a supportive community. The instructors are always so motivating and provide modifications to accommodate for all levels of fitness. I have been loving the smaller reformer classes and the focus on technique. I love Mel and the team at Xtend Barre Alexandria and highly recommend that you try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Couldn’t imagine being part of any other studio! Mel and the team have cultivated a safe space, friendly community and beautiful studio to move in. All the instructors truly care about your well-being and goals, and the classes are never the same. Such a great variety of ways to move your body effectively and feel wonderful! Absolutely love it, couldn’t recommend XBA more highly?

I have tried all classes at Xtend Barre Alexandria and really enjoyed them all. Professional and supportive instructors and a very friendly environment.

So I've been meaning to write a review for a cpl weeks now because I just love this place!

Carrying an extra 10kg post 2nd baby and, with a core that had lost a lot of strength, I was nervous and lacking in confidence about getting back to class. I needn't have worried! Mel and the team are not only experts in their field, but they teach with compassion, personalisation, humility, and contagious energy.

In one month of just two classes per week I am already feeling stronger and lighter, and my confidence is flooding back.

The babies-on-board class is a real gem. It strikes a balance between being challenging enough to get results while being safe enough so as not to do any damage. Teachers Lulu and Aly are professional, knowledgeable, and wonderfully supportive. I just know I'm in the right place for this post partum strength and conditioning work.

I feel upbeat after every class and I have also appreciated the way in which the instructors go out of their way to get to know students personally. It's motivating and, frankly, just good business.

They seem to be doing a proper job with all this covid stuff: I see them cleaning and disinfecting surfaces regularly. There are temp checks and there is a system in place to ensure there isn't crowding during class change overs.

There are also fun games and competitions which I'm looking forward to trying.

Well worth the price.

This Xtend Barre studio is one of the most friendly and caring places to come to. All the instructors are able to put you at ease and teach you across all levels. The community that come is a large range of ages. The worst thing about COVID is we have not been able to chat as much.
I really like the range of classes. I enjoy TRX, Stretch, Pilates and Barre.
The girls have done an exceptional job with keeping us safe in this COVID time. I would highly recommend this studio.

Much more fun than the gym! Great workout in a friendly and non judgemental environment. Mel and the girls are incredibly supportive and helpful and just really nice people!

Simply the best place to workout. Owner Mel and all of the instructors are so friendly and encouraging: whether you want to push yourself to the next level (love Amy J’s Xtend sweat classes!) or know you need to be gentle on yourself that day, there are always so many options.
The studio is very Covid safe with temperature checks, social distancing and lots of cleaning/wiping down.
Becoming a member of Xtend Barre Alexandria has definitely been a highlight of 2020 for me and I would recommend it to anyone in the community looking for an energising, challenging and fun workout.

I have been with Xtend Barre Alexandria for nearly 2 years and have completed more than 300 classes. Every single instructor at the studio is helpful, professional and pretty️. Barre has already become something I can’t live without. No one would regret for joining but just needed to step into the studio for the very first time.
