From the reviews
Pure Barre Charlottesville - A Hidden Gem! I started my Pure Barre journey in September 2024, and it has quickly become my happy place. As a newcomer to barre, I was a bit nervous at first, but the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely supportive — and that has made all the difference.
Barre is an amazing work-out and so great especially to strengthen the core after having kids. It makes me feel so strong and has really mitigated some different aches and pains for me. Pure Barre Cville is managed by a wonderful woman who wants you to sweat and have fun, she has a great team of teachers as well!
Pure Barre has pure heart! All of the instructors have been so nice and helpful. I have never taken Barre, so I appreciate the extra help on making sure I am perfecting my positions for an optimal workout! It is great for anyone at any fitness level. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose the first class is free.
Pure Barre is by far my favorite workout there is! It's so different from anything else that's out there and you can really feel your body working while you're in class. The instructors at the Charlottesville location are amazing and so encouraging, and give really helpful feedback and corrections during 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.
