From the reviews

I was new to the barre and Pilates world and this place has totally changed my mind. Their teaching is great and amazing. All the staff are super nice. I like the diversity of classes and the variety of teaching even though they all are teaching the same things and working the same muscles in class.

★★★★★ — Anna, May 2025

I have been going to Pure Barre for 3.5 months now and it was the best decision I ever made for myself signing up. I am so much stronger and more toned all over just after a few weeks. It highlight of my day coming to Pure Barre. The teachers here are so friendly, informative and motivation.

I have specifically been at Pure Barre West Des Moines for over 8 years! One of my favorite parts about the workout is the ability to modify the exercises to your needs. The instructors are highly trained and knowledgeable in supporting all clients where they are at.

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.
