The classes they teach
“The routines are not hard at face value, but when you throw in the core principles of lifting, tucking, and pulsing - then you feel it.”
“I was new to barre classes but have a physical therapist that has been after me to improve core strength and flexibility.”
What's on offer
“The equipment is always clean, there are two bathrooms and a changing room outside of the studio if you need to change before class.”
“Another huge perk is the ample parking, and the studio is conveniently close to the East Falls Church Metro, making it easy to get to class whether you drive or take the Metro.”
“They never miss a chance to recognize and celebrate your milestones, whether it’s a class count achievement or a challenge completion.”
What members say again and again
“It's a very professionally run business, clean, welcoming, not overly daunting for a newcomer.”
“The instructors specifically make a conscientious effort to acknowledge each student and provide hands on corrections ensuring that you’re getting the most out of each class.”
“Their Empower class is a really great, intense workout.”
“The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming - they were already greeting me by name on my second visit.”
“Their regular Barre classes are well-paced, full of great moves, and leave you feeling stronger!”
From the reviews
I have been doing Pure Barre for about 4 1/2 years now and I recently moved near the Falls Church location. I have enjoyed my first month! The instructors are very helpful and supportive and they are always willing to assist if you have any injuries or need to modify any exercises.
Pure Barre FC is wonderful! All the staff members are friendly and approachable. Their Empower class is a really great, intense workout. Their regular Barre classes are well-paced, full of great moves, and leave you feeling stronger!
This is a great studio. I was new to barre classes but have a physical therapist that has been after me to improve core strength and flexibility. The classes are perfect, and the instructors are very good at giving instructions, helping with adjustments and explaining things along the way.
I have taken classes with only two instructors (Sophia and Jasmine, the studio owner), so far, and find them both to be helpful, encouraging, kind, and very patient. I assume the other instructors are just as great! I am not the most coordinated person, and both gals are more than happy to help adjust and assist.
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.
