From the reviews

The classes and instructors and staff at Pure Barre are fabulous. I have been doing pure barre for almost 2 years now and It has really strengthened my hips, back and core and decreased my hip and back pain as well improved my overall flexibility.

I pop in from time to time as I do not have enough consistency in my schedule to actively go on a regular basis. I would consider myself a beginner still. Not in shape by any means. What I can tell you though is that every time I go these ladies are always so nice and helpful.

I’ve been taking classes at this pure barre studio since 2019 and can not say enough great things. Pure barre truly is a full body workout that allows you to target different muscles using small movements. Don’t be fooled by these small movements, they are guaranteed to leave your muscles and body shaking!

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.
