Pure Barre

I love pure barre jersey city! Been going there for over a year now and I call it my second home lol. The classes are challenging it’s helped get me back into shape, all the instructors are amazing especially the owner Lisa will kick your butt! I’d highly recommend giving them a try!!

Love that JC finally has pure barre! The studio is pretty easy to find and the instructors are great! I really enjoyed my first JC class there and will be going back more often. The only downside to me was that I feel that the studios need to have more ventilation or the carpets need to be cleaned better because I can smell feet and sweat which I don’t like.

Lisa and team create such a welcoming and positive environment here. Plus unlike other workout studios I have tried in the past, every single teacher here is great. Highly recommend!

I went in last year when they first opened in JC thinking this is just another chain fitness spot. I was pleasantly proven wrong by the team. Ashley & Lisa run the branch with the “efficiency of a big chain but with a heart of a small business”. I never had a query that wasn’t answered promptly or to my satisfaction. The team also created a much-needed community and reprieve during WFH situation. Most days, these fitness classes are my only other in-person interaction with people outside of my home. 1. Cleanliness: The gym is immaculate. The common areas, studio and equipment are sanitized often. They follow state protocols on masking & distance and adjust class sizes accordingly. 2. Instruction: The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Even though it is a group fitness class, they offer hands-on corrections and modifications individually. If they couldn’t get to you in the class, you can talk to them after class, and they will explain and correct your form. They also offer a lot of modifications throughout the class for all levels and different injuries. Shoutout to my favs, Ashley, Brittany, Kristine, Lexie & Lisa! Lisa corrected some shoulder positions which helped a lot with my shoulder injury. Ashley being a dancer herself, offers tips on stretches. I bother her so much with so many weird questions and she does not lose patience, EVER! 3. Community: They have different challenges every season and get togethers in nearby bars. They also support various small businesses and do classes for charities. The front staff is always friendly and radiate positivity. They do free classes to help understand the exercises we are doing called “breaking down the barre” which are a must. They also do themed events and special classes. If you complete challenges, they offer discounts on packages or merchandise. 4. Classes: There are a variety of classes everyday and at various times in the morning and in the evening which aligns with work hours. You can choose between high intensity Cardio class or a Classic Barre class. Every class has similar sections, warmup, arms, thighs, seat and core. With proper modifications, every section can be adopted for all levels of fitness. They have multiple deals throughout the year on packages which helps.

Great classes to both tighten and strengthen your body. Also good for any fitness level...but you do have to get used to the movements and classes full of folks much more limber than you!
