From the reviews

I really enjoy going to Pure Barre classes in Portsmouth! All staff are extremely welcoming starting on day one and take time to show you the ropes (which has not always been with experiences with staff of other fitness classes elsewhere).

★★★★★ — Jenna, Nov 2018

I recently joined Pure Barre Portsmouth and love it! I’m thoroughly impressed with the owner, Anne and her incredibly dedicated and competent staff. The low~impact workouts are challenging but can be modified to suit any fitness level. The facility is extremely clean and well taken care of.

★★★★★ — Jill, Jan 2018

The atmosphere is awesome, everyone is really friendly and I have made some great friends there! The teachers really help you with each move and are always willing to show you after class too if you had any questions. I really love when they push you to the next level and really show you what you can do.

★★★★★ — Mary, Jul 2021

I started at Pure Barre two months ago and have loved every class! It’s challenging in ways I haven’t experienced with other group classes, and so rewarding. The instructors and members are so nice and welcoming.

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.
