| - Purre Barre is a guaranteed sweat, every time. Really up-beat, fun, full-body workouts coupled with bass-rich dance music taught by super-fit instructors who make you want to push yourself to the limit. The moves are basic ballet-enhanced barre type squeezes and dips either at the barre or on the floor. The class incorporates small balls, hand weights, and bands as well, yielding to as much of a full-body workout as possible in a very short amount of time. My first 3 classes were rough and produced some shaky muscles and buckets of sweat. I noticed results around the 6th class. Bring water. Bring water. Bring water.
I loved going to Pure Barre knowing that for the next hour, I could concentrate on sweating and sculpting my way through a power workout while the music zoned me out. Yes, there are mirrors all over the place. The rooms seems clean but the lighting is a bit much. It was tough for me to find a spot where the lights weren't in my grill, coaxing even more sweat out of me. The air circulation was also an issue. There are several fans but the intstructors seem reluctant to use them during class. During cool-down (end of class), they are turned on but only to the first level. I tend to detox (ie. sweat) during my workout so this was an issue for me. To be fair, when I asked them to turn the fans on during class, they did so.
After class, as a courtesy, you are expected to wipe down your own mat and ball. I wasn't used to this and considering the price, I was a bit bothered at first. But after seeing small results so fast, I got over it. Plus, I wouldn't want to clean up after a bunch of sweaty broads either so I understand.
Owner Gena is friendly and helpful with any issues that come up (website sign-up; merchandise; etc.) as are most of the other gals. The instructors are ALL SUPER-FIT! I mean, really fit. Like, near perfect. If that type of thing intimidates you, you'll have to get over it and use it as fodder to get you through the class.
In terms of cost, Pure Barre is 'niche' priced...as in pricey. Last time I checked, monthly rates offering unlimited classes were around $175. I think the package deals come out to like $135/month. That's the main reason I stopped. I would love to take class every day but at that price, it's still way out of my league. Look for specials through FB or call the studio to see if they offer any deals for new clients.
