I have been a pure barre devotee for the past year, but I saw the groupon special for Karve and since it's right down the street from my house I decided to check it out. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, and the studio is gorgeous. I really like the fact that there are ceiling fans in the workout rooms so there is air circulation and it doesn't feel like you are in hell. The workout is a fairly standard barre workout. One thing I really like about this place is that the actual moves seem to vary from class to class. It's not the same exercise routine repeated over and over again. This way you don't get bored. So far, I really like Karve. I'm looking forward to trying the Karve kardio class this evening.
