Wild & the Barre Fitness Studio - Redwood City (CA)

5 /5 Lina Voloshin: Enjoyed my first time here. Natalia was very warm and welcoming. The 50 min workout was tough! There is both bar and mat work mixed in. Luckily it wasn’t too difficult to follow for a newcomer- I signed up via classpass on a whim and was very happy I gave it a try. The studio is clean and tastefully outfitted, the skylight is a lovely and unique feature. I appreciate that they had high quality mats, weights, balls, and everything else needed for a good workout. Will try out another class!

5 /5 Kristy Johnson: I have been regularly attending (3-5 times a week) classes for about six months now and have gained so much more strength and flexibility than I could have imagined. I am a runner and have participated in a wide variety of workouts over the past few decades but I have found my match at Wild and the Barre. Every single class here has challenged me and has made me feel thankful for Natalia and her team. The studio is beautiful and serene. The workout is effective. The instructors have different styles and focuses which is really nice because it feels like a different workout from one class to the next. The coffee is very good! If you let them know before class they can have a cup ready for you as your class ends. They have all of the details down pat! They make an effort to keep the classes small so that the instructors can give good feedback. They care so much about each clients experience. They ask after every single class how it went. My answer is usually the same, it was painful and hard but I needed and loved it. This is so much more than a barre studio to me. This is going to sound dramatic, but I spend more time here than anywhere other than my house so it feels like home. It is very easy (and affordable) to book for a private class/party. I threw my recent birthday party here. Natalia is very responsive and worked hard to make everything perfect. Natalia, Anna and Raymond went above and beyond to make it so memorable. My friends had so much fun. Im not going to lie, at one point a few of them wanted to kill me for bringing them to a place where they would burn so good :). I plan to do it for all future birthdays. They let me store champagne and orange juice in their fridge to have after class. Raymond made his amazing coffee for us. Everything went smoothly and felt so special. Its wise to come a little early to make sure you find parking on El Camino or in the Target parking lot.

5 /5 Ligia Ramirez-Jimenez: I love Wild and the Barre! The studio is clean and cozy. The instructors are friendly and make an effort to get to know you. I have had mixed success with feeling welcome in Pilates/Barre studios in the past but I feel like Wild and the Barre is one of the good ones! The barre classes are tough but the instructors offer modifications to increase or decrease the intensity as needed. A full body workout in 50 minutes?? Nice. Overall would recommend. I hear they also have dance classes which sound like a lot of fun. Last there’s a great deal for newbies (like me!) you can pay $29 for unlimited classes for your first week! I think the only thing I would recommend is getting there a few minutes early to stretch beforehand because the instructors go straight into the workouts so if you’re not ready you might feel some tightness. I’ll definitely be back!

5 /5 Maliha Islam: I’ve been coming here for over a year and I simply love this studio! I’ve explored 5-6 different barre studios in my area (mostly chain ones like Barre3), but there is definitely something special about the Wild and the Barre with its small studio charm and instructors that pay attention to every individual student. The owners Natalia and her husband are really warm and welcoming and I love how they have decorated this studio along with their kids! I’ve had trouble maintaining a fitness routine and want to give a special shoutout to Janice Maloney for making her classes so fun and vibrant. She has great choice of music which makes the workouts very enjoyable, some dance-style barre moves and a great balance of cardio and strength! I used to live in San Jose and would make the drive up to Redwood City every week for her classes for the first year (I live very close to the studio now, haha surprise). Now after over a year later, I’m proud to say I’m a regular at this studio :) On a more personal note, I used to dance as a kid, but have lost touch as I grew older and now the idea of dancing in front of people makes me really nervous. Janice’s classes are somewhat nostalgic and her gentle incorporation of dance moves in the workouts brings out a side of me that I seemed to have lost. Janice is a great instructor, extremely sweet and supportive and it’s an absolute pleasure being her student!
