Do you like to go where everyone knows your name?! The girls at Pure Barre make a point to get to know you..isn't that different? During class, you'll get shout outs of encouragement to help keep you going! I love that! Make no mistake, you'll sweat, your legs will shake ( they call that the good stuff!) and you may even swear...but you'll be back..the next day! Also, I like that the teachers correct your form, because who wants to do something wrong or get injured? I don't! I've been going a year and plan to continue!
