Pure Barre

I'm 32 weeks pregnant (and look very pregnant) and the studio is aware of my pregnancy from the last time I took class and signed my waiver. In that first class at Pure Barre the instructor came over to me, acknowledged my pregnancy and offered modifications for me throughout class. This time the instructor didn't acknowledge me at all or come over once during class to give me modifications. I couldn't do half the movements since they involved being on my back or stomach, so I started making up my own which didn't offer a great workout. It was a horrible experience, especially compared to how high touch and empathetic the vibe is at Barre3 and the Bar Method. I gave feedback to the receptionist, but I will not be back to Pure Barre, I left in tears.

This review is long overdue. I’ve always loved the pure barre workout, but want to commend this studio and the owner, Ellen for making it extra special. The studio is clean and inviting and the staff and instructors are excellent! They challenge you to work your hardest and encourage you when you need an extra nudge :) The instructors are friendly and know most of the patrons by name. I have to give a special shout out to Katelyn, Kim, Torrie, Erin, Maureen, April and Ellen who I’ve taken classes with on a regular basis. I always leave this studio feeling amazing and energized! The workouts are fun, challenging and constantly changing so they go quickly. I purchased an unlimited class package when I was on maternity leave and am thrilled to say I was able to bounce back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I truly believe I have this studio to thank for my progress. My only complaint is I wish there were more evening classes for those commuting to the city, but there probably isn’t enough demand for it. I’m going to be sad when I return to work and can’t go as often!

Such a great studio! The workout is terrific but the staff is even better. They make a point of knowing everyone's name and give encouragement, by name, during the class. The members are also super friendly. So glad I found this place!

Wonderfully welcoming studio with warm instructors. It's a fantastic workout no matter your starting fitness level.

Love starting my mornings here! Incredible workout and the staff and members are so motivating and sweet! So happy I stumbled upon this studio!!
