I discovered Pure Barre via Living Social. I wasn't sure what to expect, but whatever THAT was this workout surpassed all of my expectations. My Living Social was valid for 4 classes. I took all 4 classes within a 2 week period and I literally watched myself tone up and shrink. I lost 7 pounds doing this workout along with my usual workouts which are yoga and jogging. Pure Barre took me over that plateau that I stayed at for the past 4 months.
When I first walked in, the place was very cute and clean which I am a stickler on. The people there were all extremely nice and welcoming. I signed a waiver and they showed me where to go and what equipment to pull out. As I waited, the other "regular" students came in looking like different variations of Barbie dolls. I was like,"here we go...." The instructor came in looking tone and tight.....very inspirational. We started the warmup which wore my ass completely out. Honestly, I didn't know if I would make it. We then did arm toning and ab workout, then we headed to the BARRE! By that time, I was soaked in my own sweat and thankful I didn't skip my morning shower to come to class. Ha! Time for booty blasting at the ballet barre! That was probably the hardest thing I have done in a LONG time. The music was blasting thank God to muffle my grunts and moans while everyone else maintained their composure. Maybe they are femmebots?
I loved the class and will return again one day, but Pure Barre is quite expensive. I ordered the DVD's and am killing myself softly at home, but damn my ass looks faaaaaantastic!
P.S. Noelle and Darla were my favorite instructors.
