I've been going to Pure Barre for 5 months now and I absolutely love it! Prior to starting at Pure Barre Phoenix I was a regular at Karve Studio in Old Town for more than two years with disappointing results. I've seen way more change in my body in the last 5 months at Pure Barre than in the last two years at Karve. Not to knock Karve too much, but I feel like I never got a 'real' workout there, it was a lot of stretching with soothing music and not once did I break a sweat. At Pure Barre the music is fantastic, it's a faster pace, more challenging and I feel like I'm burning a ton on calories! The facility is really beautiful and all the instructors are friendly, encouraging and great at what they do. Yes, it is a bit pricey but you really get what you pay for - results.
