  I had a disappointing first experience at Pure Barre Brea. I was scheduled for an intro class and was specifically asked to arrive at 8:15 AM. I actually arrived around 8:10 AM, only to find out that the intro class I had been scheduled for apparently wasn’t at this location. What made the experience more frustrating was that there was a regular 8:30 AM class taking place, and other clients were arriving for it while I was there. I didn’t specifically ask to be placed into that class, but as a new client who had shown up on time for an appointment the studio scheduled, I would have appreciated being offered some kind of accommodation. Instead, the option given to me was to come back at 7 PM for the free intro class. I completely understand that scheduling mistakes happen. What disappointed me was how little effort seemed to be made to find a solution after I had already driven there and arrived at the time I was instructed to. I ended up looking for another studio that same day. They were able to accommodate me, I took a class, enjoyed it, and signed up for a membership immediately afterward. Afterward, I also came across other reviews mentioning concerns about microaggressions toward Asian clients at this location. I can only speak to my own experience and I’m not claiming to know the reason I wasn’t accommodated better, but reading those experiences afterward did make me reflect on my interaction differently. I hope the studio takes more care with how first-time clients and scheduling errors are handled in the future. The person I was talking to on the text apologized though, and was clearly not the one who I faved personally at the branch.

  I tried out a class here and was led by a very cold instructor. She seemed like she did not want to be there & was bothered by me. Corrections were very minimal and vague. This was my first ever group class so some more guidance and corrections would have helped. And it was extremely difficult to understand what ahe was saying through the mic. Almost impossible at most times to understand. Once finished she ushered me to the front desk to immediately be pressured into signing up for a membership, and the most expensive one. I was unsure still, plus this location is inconveniently far from my home so I wanted some time to think over it. I was pressured to join, and even when I mentioned i’d be on vacation for 3 weeks & would want to sign up once i was back since it’d be pointless to sign up before leaving, they pressured for my credit card information claiming they would start my membership on the date I was back. The manager had this very fake tone to her which i didnt appreciate nor did it make me want to sign up for a membership with that kind of environment- first very cold and unkind instructor & a very forced fake kind toned manager. No thanks. Had to block their number because they kept calling me. Also very overpriced to be on the floor. More expensive than studios that use expensive machines. At pure barre you are on the ground and use what a ball and some weight? The membership shouldn’t be that expensive when it costs so little ro run.

  Even tho I read bad reviews of Pure Barre Brea on Yelp, I decided to try them and I'm not regretting. I'm on my class 40th and I'm a stronger and happier person. I recommend it 100% I already brought my sister and 3 friends. We love it!

  Pure Barre has made a positive change for my body and mind. In just four months It's done more for my mental health than any physcian prescribed pill. I love Pure Barre.

  I initially trusted this business and provided my credit card to enroll in monthly training sessions for my wife and me. The secretary assured me that I could cancel any classes by simply calling, which seemed reasonable. However, after two months, I discovered they were charging $30 for every class we canceled. When I reached out, they claimed we had signed a policy agreeing to these charges. Neither my wife and I ever signed such a policy. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, they refused to refund the unauthorized charges. Fortunately, my bank resolved the dispute in my favor. However, the company followed up with unprofessional and threatening emails, which I found unacceptable. Conclusion This business lacks transparency and professionalism. Be cautious—they may charge you without proper authorization and fail to deliver quality service. I strongly advise others to avoid this place. Updates: I said $30 because the studio deduct for me and my wife from the same card. So it's same meaning but the management like to play with the words to make you feel that you wrong I didn't sign any contract me or my wife. We trust the secretary that she was talking to us and she said just call me and I will cancel for you. I was calling all the time but in the same time they was deduct the $30 for me and wife. When I call the secretary she said that she sorry for that and that's happened automatically and she will fix it. Now the management have time to reply here or by the e-mail but they don't have time to call and fix there problem Again. This place has a very bad management and very bad service. And they will use your information and you cards to take money from you
