| - I work out a lot-- A LOT-- and with that comes the inevitable boredom and frustration associated with a routine. I'm always on the lookout for ways to diversify my workout lineup and last December I learned about Pure Barre and decided to give it a try.
Despite my supposed workout prowess, I really had no idea what I was doing during my first class, and it hurt like crazy, but I was instantly hooked. It was fun! Painful, but fun! I hadn't enjoyed a workout like that in years! So I have to echo other reviewer's assessment that Pure Barre is highly addictive. I've been going to classes nonstop since I started. The promised results are absolutely true, as long as you stick with it of course.
The 60 minute classes breeze by as you quickly move from working one muscle group to another. The music is energizing and addictive, and I never find myself saying "I can't wait for this class to be over." You tap into muscles and parts of your body you didn't even know you had, and feel successful after each class.
The ladies who own the studio are so inspirational and friendly and clearly care very much about their business and their clients. All the instructors are super nice and upbeat and I always feel welcomed and wanted there. They all make it a point to learn and remember your name, you're not just another face! I truly just enjoy being there.
For your first class, make sure you bring socks but if you forget, they do sell socks with grippers on the bottom for about $10. Wear tight-fitting pants (no shorts). I'm a sweaty person so I usually bring a towel as well. Because the classes are so popular, parking can get a little crazy so make sure you arrive early. You can park on 42nd St. to avoid the cluster in the tiny parking lot.
I've recommended PB to all my friends, and those who have been brave enough to try it have become addicted too. I love it!!
