I went to Pure Barre for the first time about one month ago...It was a bit intimidating at first. It isn't easy the first time, especially for a beginner like myself. I was so sore after that first class, I mean almost couldn't walk sore. But, I went again, and again..each time I go to a class i get a great work out, and feel great afterwards. I think it is worth trying, and checking out!
