I had an introductory class yesterday at Pure Barre in Chicago. The class was really well organized and the instructor tailored it to my needs. Kathy

Loved! Oh my god. Staff is so understanding, kind, patient. And this workout makes you feel so feminine and strong! Could not recommend more highly - from administrative staff (rescheduling and app) to actual instruction, they were amazing. 11/10!

Highly recommend starting Pure Barre with a free intro class with the owner, Kali. She's super welcoming, accommodating, and attentive to your individual needs as a beginner. Initially, I opted for 8 classes/ month, but upgraded to unlimited after just two months because I loved it so much! All of the instructors are supportive and engaging, so I always feel like I get the most out of every class. Overall, it’s been a great experience!

I’ve been going here for the last three months, and the experience has been WONDERFUL.
As a member:
+ Truly a community/small business feel. They immediately learned my name, the owner does first-timer classes to welcome you, and it’s a very welcoming/inclusive community. I’ve done a million classes/every “chain” but the community here is special.
+ Fun yet challenging environment- finally feel “healthy” both physically and mentally related to exercise. The mind/body connection of these workouts is great for mental health.
+ The instructors here are awesome. Probably one of the most challenging types of classes to lead (choreographed to the beat, intricate moves) but they make it seem easy and make it digestible/are a great help for beginners
+ I at first thought the pricing was steep but now that I’ve been an unlimited member for 3 months/seen all the benefits and work that go into class, it’s beyond worth it (I used to do 12 classes a month at Orangetheory for around the same price, I’d trade it in a heartbeat and do double the classes now/seen way more results + feel great)
The workouts:
+ I was a HIIT girlie for the longest, and went into barre thinking it’d be “easy”. LOL. Some of the most challenging workouts I’ve ever done- my core has never been stronger!
+ The variety of workouts keeps it engaging and challenging - define (heavier weights), classic, empower (cardio), align (yoga), and the choreography/moves switch every few weeks
+ Truly whole body benefits or better balance, flexibility, mobility, and posture
+ If you’ve ever googled “how to build a booty” just do barre - SO sore every time and such great moves for focus areas like that!
Thank you to Kali, Amanda, Elizabeth, Clara, and others for making me feel great and at home here ?

I love having class options so I never get bored of going to barre. Between classic, empower, define, and align, there’s a balance to the workouts if you go often. All the instructors are super nice and play great music. I highly recommend PBOT!
