From the reviews
I ❤️ PBHSQ! I’ve taken almost 450 classes here, and I cannot get enough. I leave every workout feeling stronger & empowered. The instructors and staff are so kind and you can tell they really care about every single person in the class!
I LOVE PB Harvard Square. The instructors are all incredible and lead hard workouts every single time I go. My favorite instructor is Raquel. She is the bomb dot com - super challenging and energetic!!
I’ve been a regular at PBHSQ for about eight months now but wanted to post a review near the start of the year so that folks considering a new fitness program could be sure to see it. If you’re thinking about trying barre, definitely do it, and especially here! Make no mistake: it is challenging.
Unfortunately, as you get older the medical diagnoses are “it’s part of the aging process.” For the past six months osteoporosis and thoracic arthritis have been part of my life. Last September I found I could not lie flat on my back on a yoga mat and do floor exercises, but I could still golf, ski, walk and live!
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.
