I wish I still lived in Scottsdale... only when I think about pure barre. I love the classes here and I really loved all the instructors. Women come here to work out. This isn't a social class where you can chat a little bit when there's down time to grab weights or mats etc. My boyfriend saw visible differences after I went three times (which is ridiculous, I know!) I have also never sweated so much from an indoor workout until I took pure barre classes. Literally, sweat pouring down my face (sorry for the visual) and sore for days after just one class. I'm actually signing up for a class in LA. It's pricy but worth it. They've got classes from 6am - 7pm.
Tip: get the pure barre socks. They prevent you from slipping around and accidentally falling into a split that your legs and groin really can't handle. Trust me. This advice comes from experience.
Tip 2: 70% of the women who attend these are super athletic, fit, probably used to be dancers or gymnasts. Don't be embarrassed if you're new and not as fit. Everyone is here to work out and the instructors are super kind and helpful.
