. . "5"^^ . "2"^^ . . "2"^^ . "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. \n\nWhen 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?\n\nI 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!\n\nP.S. Noelle and Darla were my favorite instructors."^^ . "1"^^ . "2011-09-09T00:00:00"^^ .
