From the reviews

As someone who was very nervous about restarting my fitness journey after an extremely long, unplanned hiatus, I am so glad I decided to take the plunge and become a Pure Barre member.

Pure Barre South Elgin is the best place ever! It’s not just a place to workout but a community, a family. As a newer member of the community I was searching for people and a place I belonged. This amazing group of women are a pleasure and have made me feel like I found my place.

★★★★★ — Felicia, Mar 2024

Pure Barre has become my go-to weekly workout because, after three years, I’ve never stopped seeing results. With a variety of classes and constantly changing choreography, the workouts are always challenging and the results are obvious.

★★★★★ — Audrey, Apr 2025

Best group of women and instructors. I’ve done pure barre while pregnant and postpartum and it keeps me coming back years later. I never get tired of the workouts, there is so much variety. You can modify the workouts if you need to and the instructors always ensure you get the best workout.

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.

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.
