Pure Barre

This new barre studio is great. Teachers are patient but help push you to have a great workout. The studio is clean and the girls are exceptionally nice. They also offer great lunch hour classes!

I don’t live in Denver, but I came here for 7 consecutive days, as i was in town visiting. I have to say this method is very impressive its very hard and not at the same time, hard to explain — you got to try it.
The movements are very small and very deep, u get a deep burn and a shake — and thats why u wont to go here. I saw immediate results in my abs and legs.
I tried other methods such as Fly barre, its tough too, but more aerobic many more dynamic movements this is more like really working at the barre, u’ll feel taller and straighter afterwards.
I have no idea, why some one said the receptionist were rude– i only met super nice most helpful girls here.
Don’t get discouraged by silly comments– u ate going here for ur body’s sake, not for anything else.

My favorite workout ever!!! I have been doing it for 3 ½ years. I even did it through my third pregnancy. I have met so many great teachers and friends. The music and focus on my body gives me the release and hour I need for me. The mix of an incredible owner and amazing teachers makes it so amazing. I am positive they would accommodate anyone in any way. My body is better than I could have ever expected after 3 huge children. Thanks for all your live and support through everything. LTB’

So glad to be back at pure barre after 3 years. Yep it kicked my butt and I know in a month I will be strong as an ox and fitting into those skinny jeans :) I have tried all the studios in the area and the lone tree studio had only 3 other people in it at the 6:35 pm class. Wow, it was SO nice not to be cramped for space. Having fewer people in the class was not as intimidating as the fuller studios when you kind of get out of sync. Can’t wait to again tomorrow night. Can’t wait to have the body I deserve :). Dani was a great instructor :)

This just was not for me. I generally prefer to work out alone, but needed a jump start so signed up for 2 weeks of unlimited classes through a groupon deal. I do have to say that the online scheduling system is very user friendly; I definitely liked that part. And, the work out did kick my butt and I can see how it would have a positive impact if I stuck with it.
But, the class situation just didn’t click for me. They have various classes offered during the day, but all levels are thrown in together in one class. What I mean is, they didn’t really have a class tailored to beginners. I felt absolutely lost in my first class, while everyone around me just automatically moved to the next move/​position. While the instructor did provide direction, it was difficult to comprehend if you’ve never done barre before. I always felt behind. The instructor of my first class did come around to me a couple of times and gave me pointers on form, which was appreciated, but it didn’t really help with the overall feeling of confusion.
If you’re not familiar with barre, like I wasn’t, it focuses on small movements to exhaust your muscles in 4 different areas: arms, thighs, butt, abs. Some of the exercises we did in class, I’ve continued at home, and that works better for me. This could be a good fit for you if you really like exercise classes.
Another thing I found odd — there is only one bathroom and you have to go through the exercise room to get to it. It would be a lot more convenient if it was in the lobby so you could go before class without having to disturb the class before yours.
All in all, I’m glad I tried it. But after 2 classes I just couldn’t make myself go back. It didn’t work/​feel good to me.

So I made a mistake. I forgot my wallet (big mistake I know) but I arrived just in time for my first class and told the two girls at the desk that I live nearby and would gladly leave my IPhone and whatever else for collateral so I could get my wallet and pay the $ 23 drop in fee right after class. Again, totally dumb mistake on my end.
My request was met with eye rolling and sarcasm as she exchanged looks with the other girl sitting with her. Now I felt really really dumb. She told me she was just enforcing the rules and nothing could be done, then she essentially shut me down with silence as I slinked over to put my shoes back on and leave. I felt really uncomfortable, like I had been scolded.
I’ve been going to Core Power Yoga for a long time and I’ve seen first hand (this week in fact) how people whose packages have ran out are forgiven and allowed to come back and pay in good faith. Pure Barre had my information from my registration online (even my phone number and address) so they knew who I was. It’s unfortunate to see that their service doesn’t include kindness especially since their monthly packages are over $ 200.
So today I’ll extend a little kindness that I was hoping for and give 2 stars instead of one. Maybe she was just having a bad day.

Holy moly! What a workout! I’ve been doing and teaching yoga for years and knew I needed something else to trick my body and boy did that do it! It was fun and I’m planning to invest in a punch card once I use up my sweet Groupon special!

After purchasing a rockin Groupon, I tried out a class at Pure Barre this week. I had a super cute instructor (Erica?) who gave great personal attention to everyone in the class (I lucked out, there were only 5 of us!) I was skeptical about this new fad… but the next day I was plenty sore, which only goes on to prove my fitness philosophy– no pain, no gain! I will certainly be returning to finish up my groupon passes!
