What Is the Summer Sizzle Challenge?
The Summer Sizzle Challenge is our whole-summer community fitness challenge — built around staying consistent, trying new instructors and class formats, and earning real rewards for both. It runs from July 1st through August 31st, giving you two full months to complete 25 classes across five instructor squads.
This is an invitation to keep doing what you love, with the added challenge to branch out: discover new instructors, finally try a class time you have never tried.
How It Works
- Complete at least 5 classes with each of the 5 instructor squads between July 1 and August 31
- That’s 25 classes total — any studio, any format
- Every squad can be completed at any location: Downtown Crossing, Back Bay, or Southie
- Mix up your schedule — new instructors, new times, new studios all count
The Five Instructor Squads
To complete the challenge, you need at least 5 classes with each squad. Here’s your lineup:
Squad 1
- Mason, Lisa, Steph, or Paris
Squad 2
- Jamie Z, Emilee, Kailey, or Emily
Squad 3
- Taylor P, Nya, Megan E, Hailey, or Martene
Squad 4
- Brooke P, Alanna, Bry, Julie, or Brooke H
Squad 5
- Lily, Megan D, Katrina, Cass, or Laurel
The squad structure is your built-in reason to try instructors you’ve never taken before and class times you haven’t explored. The members who get the most out of Summer Sizzle are the ones who treat it as a summer of discovery — not just a class count to hit.

Everyone who completes the challenge earns two guest passes, good through the end of 2026. Complete the challenge and you’re also entered to win one of seven prizes — and you’ll want all of them:

It’s the best reason to finally get your friend through the door — and one of the most effective ways to increase your chances of winning. Everyone who finishes the challenge earns two guest passes, good through the end of 2026. Bring a bestie and you’re both in it to win it.
Why the squad mechanic works
Five classes per squad across five squads adds up to 25 classes total — roughly three per week across the summer. The squad structure means you’re not just hitting a number. You’re actively exploring the full Barre Groove instructor lineup, which is one of the most effective things you can do for your summer results. Different instructors cue movements differently, which means the same exercise challenges your body in genuinely new ways. Summer Sizzle is your built-in reason to try everyone.
Common Questions About Summer Sizzle
How exactly do I complete the challenge?
First, sign up in the App at barregroove.com/app. Then take at least 5 classes with instructors from each of the 5 squads between July 1 and August 31. That’s 25 classes total. Within each squad, any instructor on that squad counts — you don’t need to take all instructors in a squad, just at least 5 classes total with squad members. You can complete each squad at any studio location.
Do all class formats count?
Yes — Bounce & Barre, Bounce & Bands, BOOST, Dance & Define, Sculpt 45, and POM all count. What matters is which instructor is teaching the class, not which format you choose.
How does the bestie referral double my entry?
We sent your personal referral link via email. If you lost it, text us at 617–993–0332 and we’ll resend it.

You can bring more than one bestie — each one who completes their trial adds another entry for you.
