I trained at this studio for two years. The location was convenient for me, though parking is kind of a nightmare. It's not cheap.
After training there for several months, it became quickly apparent that there was a HUGE difference in the quality of the workout from class to class depending on the instructor. The workout itself is extremely repetitive so it does get really boring after a certain period of time. Some instructors seemed to be phoning it in during class, never checking anyone's position or stretching people during class. Others, like Amity (who unfortunately isn't there anymore) and Elizabeth, really went out their way to make sure people were in proper alignment. This workout is all about form and small movements so if you aren't doing it correctly, it's almost a total waste of time. In my opinion, PB doesn't incorporate nearly enough stretching for the amount of work you're doing.
The studio itself is OK. My biggest issue with the space was cleanliness. I went into a bathroom where someone had vomited into the sink and no one had cleaned it up. The bathrooms were almost never clean. And the studio workout area has indoor/outdoor carpet which was covered with hair and gross considering all the sweating that goes in there. I prefer floors (like hard work) that can be cleaned daily.
I stopped going because 1) the workouts became boring; 2) the best instructor (Amity) left; 3) getting a reservation for a weekend class was impossible 4) I noticed that the front desk staff was gossiping about clients behind their backs, mocking new students and other people for using incorrect form. I also witnessed the manager humiliating another client for failing to cancel for a class she had signed up for on-line.
Overall, for the money and the experience, there are better barre classes in Charlotte that don't leaving you feeling like you've joined a sorority house.
