  I have nothing against barre. The workouts in and of themselves are fun and challenging. However, before taking classes or entering a membership at this Pure Barre, I'd like to warn you all against a few things. 1) I signed up for a 3 month commitment membership, which came with a set of extra classes. What I was not told, however, was that the extra classes expired after 30 days. Luckily, the studio manager gifted those extra classes back to me - all the same, it would've been nice to know ahead of time. Second of all, I was not made aware that there was a 30 day cancellation notification requirement. So, despite the fact I cancelled 28 DAYS in advance, I was still charged $99 for a membership the next month that I have no intention of using. Please be aware of both of these policies. In my time as a fitness instructor, I've never seen studio so clearly exploitative. 2) While the instructors are nice, many of them give the impression that they don't want to be there. Again, from a fitness instructor perspective, the energy that the instructors bring to class is critical, and when I can tell an instructor doesn't want to be there, it can make the class substantially less enjoyable. If you're considering barre, I'd honestly encourage you to try a different studio than Pure Barre.

  If you want to get stronger, both physically and mentally, Pure Barre SS is the place to go! The workouts, the variety, the community keeps me coming back. The teachers are fabulous - the cueing, the encouragement , the music, and the fun (ok, ok, the fun is the feeling you have at the end of class! 😉)

  It's truly insane to me that I paid $18 for a pair of socks because I didn't know I was supposed to bring any (trial class for me). It was 80 degrees outside and I wore sandals, knowing I'd take them off for class. At all previous barre classes and studios I've been to, socks are optional. I checked the confirmation email beforehand to ensure I wasn't supposed to bring anything specific such as a mat, to find nothing of the sort. This information needs to be better advised, otherwise a more accessible option provided. In terms of the class, I would not recommend for postpartum or pregnant people, as the core work was too fast to truly breathe and connect to the pelvic floor, and the instructor's cues were surface level. $35 for a 50-minute cookie cutter barre exercise class? I'll pass.
