| - I love Pure Barre and it has totally changed the way I think about my fitness regime, and more importantly changed my body. I have been going consistently for the last 9 months and have noticed strength and tone where I never had it before.
Don't be fooled by the small movements--doing the moves correctly is vital in Pure Barre, and when done properly you get the most out of your workout. The instructors are always helpful with hands-on adjustments to get you into the proper positioning for the best (and safest) results.
The crazy thing about PB is that the more you go, the harder it actually gets, because you learn how to do things the right way (which is where the real burning and shaking comes in!) So that keeps me from getting bored and also keeps you from ever feeling like you've "mastered" it. The routines always follow the same basic structure (arms, thighs, seat, abs) but the moves are always different, so no two classes are alike. The variety is great.
Each section of class is followed by a bit of stretching, which is what helps create long, lean muscles--so sure, the method is geared toward women, but I don't see what's wrong with that. My flexibility has significantly improved since starting classes here.
The instructors at this location are excellent--they're so friendly, helpful, and make a great effort to learn your name. The experience from start to finish is very personable and they've done a great job of creating a sense of community there. If you're a repeat customer, you really feel the camaraderie, among the instructors and among your classmates. The studio is clean and comfortable, and they have a changing room in case you come in after work.
Pure Barre makes for a great all-around fitness routine, or as a toning compliment to cardio. I think it really just depends on what you're looking for. For me, I'm addicted and will keep coming as often as possible!
