  Felt so welcomed by the staff, immediately! Everyone was so helpful and warm. The studio is extremely clean, instructors easy to understand and follow along with, which I always appreciate when trying something new. I love the variety of classes offered, depending on what I’m in the mood to focus on— I really loved the Align class, super restorative. However, each class equally brought the burn 😅 The studio is easily accessible with free parking right outside of the doors, and centered by some amazing local coffee shops and health conscious food options for post work out! The retail section of the store is also so cute, grippy socks galore!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience✨

  I love many things about Pure Barre, but to name a few......I love all of the amazing instructors. Each instructor is unique, but everyone shares the same kindness and encouragement. They also provide great feedback and corrections when you may not be realizing your form is incorrect because you are focused on so many other aspects of the movement. It is nice to get those corrects and feel encouraged at the same time. I also love the community Pure Bare Shadyside has created. I have reconnected with friends from high school and college and made new friends along the way that I look forward to seeing in class. Every woman I have encountered has been so incredible. I also love the great workout I get. I have struggled to keep gym memberships because I do not the gym atmosphere. Pure Barre is the complete opposite and makes you feel empowered and strong, all while playing the most amazing music.

  I was honestly surprised by how much Pure Barre helped my back. I came in expecting a great workout, but I didn’t expect to feel such a noticeable improvement in my posture and back comfort. Jill was especially amazing—she gave clear corrections and helped me adjust my posture in ways that made a huge difference both during class and afterward. The classes are challenging but low-impact, and I always leave feeling stronger and more aligned. Highly recommend, especially if you’re dealing with back issues or posture problems.

  I started attending Pure Barre Shadyside in February, and it has quickly become my favorite weekly routine! The instructors are phenomenal--always encouraging, knowledgeable, and intentional about offering personalized feedback and praise during each class. Every session is a full-body challenge that leaves me feeling stronger and more confident. I genuinely look forward to the workouts and love the variety of class formats available. The Pure Barre app makes scheduling super easy, and there are plenty of class times to fit any schedule. I can't recommend this study enough--it's welcoming, empowering, and truly the best!

  I am moving to FL next week and in reflecting what I will miss about Pgh the most, the immediate answer is "Pure Barre Shadyside". I've taken over 1000 classes there and several at New York, Boston, Laguna Hills, Orlando and other places while traveling. I can definitively say that the teachers at Shadyside are the best I've experienced. Rachel give clear and accurate instructions and the best corrections. Kaitlin has the best stretches and Bergin has amazing energy. Best of all, the Pure Barre system is full proof. You cannot go wrong with this system. And the studio is wonderfully equipped and spacious too! If you are trying to decide on a workout, choose this one - it won't let you down.
