From the reviews

TLDR; I hurt my back in August 2022 and was immobile for almost four months. When my physicians cleared me to exercise, I used a Class Pass to take Pure Barre Foundations at this location and had the great fortune of meeting Katie.

★★★★★ — Alex, Apr 2023

Pure Barre Pentagon City is the most supportive, welcoming, and encouraging fitness community I have ever encountered. Each instructor genuinely wishes the success and well-being of each member, and each member is kind and collegial with one another. I have not felt so comfortable (and joyful!

Love this location and their instructors! All the classes are engaging, the music is always great, and the space is clean and convenient. Plus, it's always stocked with cute sticky socks! Katie is such a sweet person and always so helpful. Jaime's classes toned me in just a few months, highly recommend!

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: required here, and sold on-site if you don’t have a pair; 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.
