Pure Barre

I love Pure Barre Katy! Not only have I found a place to workout and get in shape, but I’ve found a great community of encouraging women who have become my friends. The instructors are the best and you know you will get a great workout from each of them. I definitely recommend Pure Barre Katy if you’re looking for a way to not only change and challenge your body, but connect with others who really do care about your journey to get there.

First, I will say that I am one that has always hated to exercise in that cardio/large gym format. Pure Barre is exactly what I needed in a place that can build community. Everyone has been friendly and knowledgeable to help me meet my goals.

PLEASE don’t make the same mistake I made, read this if you are considering a membership or going to take one of the “free” classes. This business conglomerate uses the same tactics as timeshare companies to reel you in and force you to stay for a period of time as set in the contract. First, the class will be free but just like a timeshare they will break you out into groups and explain their memberships to you - they are expecting you to sign up right then and now. They will start at the highest package offer and work their way down and throw in “a few classes free” so you feel like you’re getting an exclusive deal (they offer this to all new clients). When you try to walk away they hound you and pressure you, you could say “I’m not sure I have time to commit,” they will counter with “well how much are you willing to commit to your fitness goals or are you committed to reach your goals?” They do this to try and shame you into signing up. They gloss over the extensive contract and once you pay, you are locked in for three months. If you come across hard times and can’t pay, too bad. If you decide it’s not for you, too bad. If you weathered through a natural disaster, too bad-no exceptions. They expect you to come to the studio and deliver a handwritten note explaining that you would like to cancel and why. And don’t forget, when you are trying to cancel they will be nowhere to be found. They rush to get you signed up but when you decide you want to cancel they will pigeonhole you with three things. 1. It was in your contract 2. They will add on a late fee and send your bill to collections 3. You can cancel early but they will tack on an extra $100 to your bill. Essentially paying for the next bill cycle so they can run you dry effectively. Their business model is not meant to last, it is meant to lock as many people into a contract no matter how high the turnover rate. Please do not feel pressured and ashamed, tell them NO. And stay on your NO. You can get a more effective experience for less money and stress at a gym with a personal trainer. Any business that threatens you with sending a bill to collections sees you as an expendable resource. See them for who they are and don’t give them a chance to latch on. If you are taking the free class, remember this is all that comes with it. Check the Better Business Bureau before signing up with these here today, gone tomorrow businesses. Pure Barre is not BBB accredited but still has a lengthy list of complaints related to billing and predatory business practices. Mark my words, this business will not last another decade, especially not without a lawsuit. Do yourself a favor and check out the link for the complaints filed against a single location and don’t make the same mistakes I did: https://www.bbb.org/us/ga/decatur/profile/fitness-center/pure-barre-0443-91821359/complaints
