I copied this from an earlier post :-)
Element Ballet Conditioning With Elise Gulan is a nice lower body barre workout. Here’s the full workout:https://youtu.be/BEKUnoQ0c8s
Cathe Turbo Barre includes some upper body work, but you’ll need bands.
Barre 3 are gentler, shorter workouts. Their Bootcamp workout is the most challenging. They have several workouts (none of their dvd workouts) on YouTube.
Element Barre Conditioning isn’t as difficult as some barre workouts, but I like it. https://youtu.be/7kRtSRf4kpQ
Tendu Toning: Where Ballet Meets Fitness is a challenging, but doable, barre workout. I’m not as enthusiastic about the Unbarred workout. Here’s a clip of the first one: https://youtu.be/Nq-i6-4RA1o
Squeeze Stronger is a good overall workout that includes upper body work. I don’t recommend her warm-up though. Here’s a clip:https://youtu.be/M-3gQMPanEE
I agree with the other posters about The Bar Method. She includes push-ups in her barre workouts. I like all of their workouts. The Dancer’s Body Advanced Workout is the most challenging. It’s not led by Burr Leonard though. Here’s a clip: https://youtu.be/7kRtSRf4kpQ
Susan Bowen’s Bootcamp and Cardio Fat Burn https://youtu.be/eXja4sfXIrw
Pop Physique has some decent workouts if you don’t mind their outfits: https://youtu.be/Ju9toD7Mrf4
Linda Wooldridge has some barre workouts on YouTube.

I have tried almost all barre workouts on the market as well as on demand.
My absolute favorite is Squeeze Stronger. Excellent arm work, esthetically pleasing, beautiful instructor.

The Bar Method and Exhale Core Fusion are my personal favorite barre workouts.

I think the Fluidity Bar workouts are good, solid barre workouts

I like bodybarre by Paige. No dvd's but she has workouts on youtube and think now she is providing a streaming service due to this virus. Studio not opened of course.

Looks like I have some of the exhale core fusions workouts.

Has anyone have any opinions on the Openfit site? With Andrea Rogers

I enjoy Exhale Core Fusion, Xtend Barre, Barre3 and Ellen Barrett's Barre workouts.

I signed up with a 60 day free trial (there’s a groupon link on 2lazy4gym.com). I ended up cancelling after trying a couple workout and not lasting more than 10 minutes. I have a hard time with the pace and while Andrea seems like a lovely person, her tone of voice and the frenetic pace of her instruction were deal breakers for me. I like my barre to be more relaxing and meditative. I tried the free Barre Blend workout on YouTube and even though that one is faster paced than I prefer, I really like Elise. I’m not willing to sign up for BBOD and pay for early access right now, but may consider it once the series is available to all subscribers.
I really like The Ballet Physique workouts for a traditional studio barre class.
The Exhale Core Fusion DVD’s are really nice as well.
I wish I liked Bar Method, but all the workouts are so similar that they end up having a dread factor. It’s pretty much the same push up and tricep moves in every single workout.
I used to subscribe to Suzanne Bowen’s Streaming sight, but she hasn’t been updating the site. I read on IG yesterday that she will have new workouts, but they will be led by one of her Barre Amped instructors.

Barre 3 offers a fusion workout, so it’s not traditional barre, but they do provide a nice cardio factor and I like their core work. I do feel like there are too many squats, which can irritate my hip flexors. It is nice that they have a variety of instructors, so you can try different people and see who you click with. I really like Christa Joy, Shannon, Meredith, and Ronni (although they removed a few of Ronni’s workouts when they redid the website).
