Nashville's Most Aesthetic Pilates and Barre Workout Is Built for the Way Real Bodies Move
Body & Ballet Co started because its founder, Melissa Chera, threw out her back doing an MC Hammer move at a Halloween party. A Nashville native who has lived with POTS and hypoglycemia, Melissa was tired of fitness studios that only worked for one kind of body, one kind of pace, one kind of person. So she built BBCO instead: a barre and pilates studio in Midtown Nashville designed to be gentle on the joints and nervous system, with workouts strong enough to actually change how you move and feel.
Nashville's Most Aesthetic Pilates & Barre Workout Isn't Trying to Burn You Out
Walk into a studio in Midtown Nashville on any given morning and you'll find oyster shell mirrors, soft natural light, and a room full of women moving through slow, controlled flows that look more like ballet rehearsal than a typical sweat session. No blaring music, no yelling instructor, no post-class crash. That's Body & Ballet Co, and it was built on the idea that a workout doesn't have to wreck your nervous system to change your body.

What a beautiful location and amazing instructors …I love that the kingdom of God and His presence is prioritized here. This is Pilates and Barre 10x. The formula for getting the lithe, gorgeous body of a model in half the time is RIGHT HERE. And you get an elegant, peaceful environment to do it in….you will not regret trying this incredible workout
I’ve taken over a dozen classes at BBCO now, and just adore this studio! It’s a beautiful, calm, and welcoming atmosphere. All of the instructors are kind and supportive, and classes are always well prepared. The owner and instructors are so thoughtful in giving everything a personal touch - such as themed holiday classes and making sure everyone feels comfortable there. If you’re looking for a gentle ballet style barre in a lovely space I highly recommend!
So thankful I found this studio! I have multiple chronic illnesses and have some specific things that I can’t do or need modified in a workout and the Pure Pilates class has been great for me. Madalynn has been super helpful and the studio is beautiful and not intimidating at all! Update 2/26/26: I've been taking Jojo's Prima Pilates class every Wednesday and she's been so helpful with modifications! So grateful to have found this studio
Love it there!! The workouts are amazing and the trainers are even better, great place to be!
Such a great time!
Such a great experience and very relaxing. Great way to relax after a stressful day!
Great and easy to follow! I loved the event and I felt very stretched out afterwards.
My favorite place in all of Nashville. The studio is so intimate where the max number of people taking a class is 8. The method is great for every body, and all the instructors work on what your body needs. Would highly recommend this studio, and I hope they expand to outside of Nashville 💛 …
Pure Pilates Class with Samantha at Body & Ballet Co. (9/19/2025) Samantha was SO sweet and a great instructor. This was my first Barre/Pilates-type class, and I enjoyed it a lot (booked through ClassPass for my first class here). She let me borrow a pair of her own grippy socks! She incorporated some yoga for breaks and stretches, and that was nice. Great energy, encouragement, and guidance. I told her l'm on day 52/75 Hard and she was so kind in the class knowing l'd done another workout earlier this morning, haha. I struggled with an ab move later in the class, and she helped me by holding my feet down and was so encouraging with it ll. The studio is intimate, clean and pretty with a nice atmosphere, plus free parking/easy access! I would definitely come back and take more classes with Samantha; highly recommend!!! Looking into getting a class pack here soon. Thank you! :)
Great class while visiting daughter in Nashville!
My favorite place I have tried in Nashville! Staff is amazing and so kind. Studio is clean! Workouts are great without having to lift heavy weight! I love it!
My favourite workout spot in nashville, really seeing the results and love every instructor!!
Absolutely love this place! The staff are kind and caring. They’ve created a safe judgement free environment for former dancers and non dancers all while still providing a great workout for pro dancers. The studio is also absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!
I’ve tried lots of workout studios, and this one is the very first one that I’ve ever called home by getting a membership! Every instructor is kind, professional, and attentive! The studio itself is gorgeous and intimate with relaxing, warm lighting and chill music. It’s always well kept, smells nice, and is clean! From my early days in elementary school PE, group fitness has always made me feel a little anxious and a bit intimidated, but the small class size and warm welcome from these instructors have kept me coming back! The workouts are challenging, but the instructors are more than willing to give modifications for needs that anyone in the class may have and encourage everyone to listen to their own bodies. I always look forward to my classes here and know that I’ll leave with happy muscles and a smile every time!
I have LOVED being a member of BB&Co for the past 6 months. Saturdays with Melissa have been the best part of the year! They offer a ton of member perks and host fun pop ups and events. Great classes and every instructor is awesome and super willing to work with you if you need help on anything! I also have to add that you do NOT have to have Ballet experience to do these classes! I have never danced a day in my life and I have the best time!
Excellent. …I loved it 😍 …
Loved class with Kelly this morning! So fun and good!!
I had a great welcoming experience and great stretches for my recent neck and knee pain - coming out stronger than ever! Their 5 styles of workouts are perfect: pure matt, ballet blend, sleek stretch, beyond barre & foundation+. Thanks to owner/ friend Melissa Chera (who has brought her studio to participate in our annual Fit Crawl 2 Fight Breast Cancer) & her amazing instructors!
Amazing studio! Great instructors and love the community!
JoJo's class was great! She has a ballet background which is so refreshing to take class from!!
Best experience ever! Jojo was the best!!!! Highly recommend. Really made our bachelorette trip!
