  I was recently introduced to pure barre by a friend and could not be more happy! The classes are so much fun and empowering, led by the most amazing instructors! Every few weeks the routines are switched up just enough to keep it exciting and different. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great workout🙌

  I’ve been taking pure barre classes at this studio for about nine months and I absolutely love them! I take class every day and each class is different so I’m not repeating the same moves each day. This studio offers three classes: classic, empower (cardio-based), and reform (muscle toning-intensive). There are a variety of instructors who are all great and supportive before, during, and after class. They will help to fix your form during class to make sure you 1) don’t hurt yourself and 2) work the correct muscles. The classes are also offered at various times throughout the day, which is great for a student since my schedule changes every day!

  Pure Barre Virginia Highlands is a special place. I take class there everyday. The workouts are different every time, although they follow a broad pattern. They are body toning, building strength using small dance-related movements (the fact that I lack a dance background does not matter at all) rather than using gym machines. I have lost 10 pounds, have a flat stomach, and have new friends as a result of coming to the studio. The owners are friendly, polished, knowledgeable, and well integrated into the neighborhood. The instructors are very well trained (they provide corrections quietly and praise publicly) and there are friendly people at the front desk to help you get started. The studio regularly offers something fun to do every month including parties (bar-ties), fashion shows, joint classes with other local fitness programs, outings for drinks, and special classes called "intensives." The studio has great parking right outside the door, which isn't always the case for an in-town location. The studio sells cute activewear and accessories. New folks can try the class for free for a week, and special pricing for class packages is frequently offered. All age ranges, shapes, and sizes of people (mostly women, but a few men) take the classes. The minute I walk out the door, I can't wait to return for my next class. Update September 3, 2018: Two new classes have been added: an Empower classes, which uses a platform and high intensity interval training cardio moves such as mountain climbers and skaters in between the more barre oriented choreography, and a Reform class that is being rolled out this week. I still like the classic class but the others add nice variety.
