Barre itself is an excellent workout - I’m in pretty good shape, and this challenges me every time. I would definitely recommend barre as an addition to your workout routine, or if you don’t currently have a fitness routine. Now about Pure Barre, Alexandria - Love the layout of the studio...parking is never an issue.

I had an amazing experience at Pure Barre, thanks to Hannah! She was incredibly helpful in assisting me with my positions and form, ensuring I got the most out of the workout. Hannah’s patience and clarity in her instructions made me feel confident and supported throughout the class.

Your first barre class at Pure Barre

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
