B. fit
1339 14th St Ste 3
B. fit is a true D.C. gem (no pun intended), located in a bright, airy converted apartment at Logan Circle. The barre studio is locally owned by a former barre student who opened shop when she relocated to D.C. in 2006. If you’re new to barre, B. Fit’s “barre-tenders” will help you learn the basics of the workout that’s a cross between ballet, pilates and strength training. Barre Burner classes are available to more advanced students. Try a walk-in class for just $22.
Fuse Pilates

All classes combine aspects from other fields of fitness, like yoga, barre and plyometrics, so you’ll never be bored doing traditional pilates. Check out offerings specific to you, like mat classes for runners or prenatal pilates.
