I really like Barre3. I've been doing it at least a couple of times per week for over a year, and haven't gotten tired of it, which is saying something for me.
They get more challenging the more you do them, and because many of the movements are slower, you can go deeper, use heavier weights (I use 4-5 lbs). I do add other things during the week, sometimes some upper body weight work and always lower body and cardio.
I did SBF streaming for a while and enjoyed it. At the time, I thought many of the segments were too easy. She might have more options now, but then, there were only a few labeled as "advanced." I like her cardio better than her other segments.
Bar method streaming is the most challenging at-home barre I have done. The music is much better than the other options, and I liked the format--although the format seems to vary less than others, so I guess that could get old if you like to feel there is more variety. The arm work is pretty much always exactly the same, there are only two or three different movements that they use (though barre3 is similar that way). But I think the workout as a whole is more challenging than any of the DVDs (P57, Pure Barre, SB, etc.) or other streaming I have done. It's just too expensive for me to continue indefinitely, but I do plan to subscribe again for a month or two at a time.
