A must try, you will be hooked! It’s a mix of everything you want in a work out. The workout itself and the staff is amazing. All the instructors are very thorough during class, and take the time to answer questions after. It’s truly a family feel here. Both the instructors and members are the sweetest bunch. Don’t be fooled by the small movements, you see results if you stick with it!! Try out the intro class (free) and register for 1 reform class to get a feel. You will love.

Clear discrimination against those with disabilities. If you are permanently disabled in any fashion and need any accommodation, do not bother with this place, as they make “no exceptions”. I have severe pain I my knees, arches, and subsequently spine when I don’t have the support of sneakers, which I explained were never and would never be worn outside the studio, also explaining my conditions of osteoarthritis in both knees, patellofemoral disorder, and collapsed arches that throw my alignment off and cause pain. I was actually super shocked at their tone deaf response that it was “low impact so you may be able to participate with grip socks”. It’s almost like they didn’t understand what I said. I can’t do dance anymore bc of what dance without shoes did to me from my knees down. It’s not about impact, either, thanks for asking ?. Literally any aspect of my life besides sleeping hurts without shoes. Insane that they can’t make an exception for a disabled ex dancer that needs to wear sneakers, even with a written note from my rheumatologist. FYI Club Pilates and eWaves in town that are shoe free facilities both make these exceptions. I am a rare exception, as you don’t see as many people as determined as I am to continue living any semblance of an able bodied life after having their life change in their mid thirties. I’m thankful for them. If I was the owner of this location, I would be mortified.

This is my Zen place! The staff are friendly with a positive energy and professional attitude. The studio is clean and inviting. The classes are well-choreographed to the right music. The teachers help us to to do our personal best workout. We always feel better after a workout here.

Exceptional Barre Experience - Great Balance of Instruction, Atmosphere, and Support.I have been with the PureBarre Edgewater for more than 2 years now and would love to share my feedback and appreciation for the wonderful aspects that have made my time here truly enjoyable.First and foremost, the instructors (Cindy, Sarah, Kelcey, Hanna, Ashley, Grace, Adrianna and everyone here) are top-notch. Their expertise, knowledge, and passion for barre shine through every class. They provide clear instructions, individual attention, and motivating cues that keep the class engaged and challenged throughout each session.The owner and office manager deserves recognition for creating a truly remarkable space. The class schedule, classroom size, the brightness and cleanliness in the studio creates a serene and inspiring environment. The studio organizes creative events from time to time, adding a touch of excitement and fun beyond class time. Their communication is consistently clear, responsive, and proactive that I feel well-informed and included.Definitely feels a nice change in life after I come here. I look forward to continue my journey with PureBarre Edgewater and highly recommend the studio to anyone seeking a fulfilling barre practice in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Wow this place really will go after you to pay for their overpriced socks and will hunt you down.This studio will make you buy their socks as they profit off of these $18/pair socks. I was looking forward to the class but had unfortunately forgotten my wallet. Since you can’t go to the class without socks, I had asked to reschedule when the manager intervened and offered the socks to me. I agreed to call back with my credit card information.Upon exiting the class, the manager had asked me where I live and to go back home immediately and call them back within 15 minutes. LOL. She continued to make jokes about the socks and was just straight up rude and sarcastic. I would’ve cancelled and came back with my card had I known she would’ve been so unkind.They also kept calling me back after the class hunting down my credit card information. I was going to sign up for their membership. The staff just ruined it.

The reviewer (DaJung) that said she brought her mom from a different country, I was there that day you both came in. I am not mistaken at all, I remember you and it’s unfortunate that you feel the need to lie because you didn’t ‘get your way’, very immature. None of what you’re saying is true. Cindi was very attentive to you both during the intro class. The staff was very kind to you and offered you the option to buy grippy socks if you didn’t have them already. It’s for your own safety. The staff did not give you dirty looks. You just didn’t want to pay for grippy socks or pay for a membership. The other bad reviews are from Karens that feel entitled and do not feel that they should have to follow the business policies and procedures. It’s not fair to people who are looking for honest reviews of the business. The location is convenient with plenty of parking. Whole Foods is next door in case you need a quick snack afterwards to refuel. The staff is very flexible in regards to rescheduling, canceling, etc. your classes, you just have to open your mouth and communicate like an adult if you cannot make it to a class. I had an amazing intro class last week; my instructor was Cindi. She was patient and didn’t push me to do what I wasn’t comfortable with; she modified certain excercises for me because of my height and limited mobility. For context, I have an Achilles tendon injury so I haven’t been able to workout as much as I want to over the past year. These classes are great for those who are looking for low impact, full body workouts. The studio is super clean and not intimidating at all. The staff is always professional, kind and helpful.

Wow, what a terrible attitude by the staff here. Sure, I failed to wear the correct socks for the very first class I attended, but they did not need to be so disrespectful and nasty about it. Felt extremely judged and discriminated. I brought my mom and told them she’s visiting from a different country, and they gave us the dirtiest look. I felt so uncomfortable and told the lady before the class began that I’d leave, and she said “that’d be great, bye.” Shame on you. I do not recommend this business to anyone. It seems so unwelcoming and unaccommodating like the other reviews said.To Nzhingha who commented on my review:Congratulations on finding the workout place that fits your vibe. But you do not have the right to tell me “they didn’t give you dirty looks” unless, you are me? You also called other one-star reviewers “Karens” who are entitled. Who are you to judge and deny people who wrote about their own lived experiences? Why bully reviewers you don’t even know? I have to wonder if you work here, because the vibe your review gives off exactly matches this studio’s vibe.And to clarify, I already said and admitted in my review that I failed to wear the correct socks. And yes, like you said, I chose not to purchase their expensive socks (you said ‘Cindi was nice to you both during the intro class’ but we did not actually take the class and left—so you may even be mistaken). My other points about feeling judged by the staff are also truthful from my POV, not yours. You weren’t part of my one-on-one conversation with the staff.So, you do not need to be policing others’ honest reviews and saying what’s true or not true. Sharing/hearing subjective evaluations is the very purpose of having Google reviews. Just because you had a good experience, it doesn’t mean that everyone’s experience must be the same. In fact, I see you’ve written a one-star review yourself and called someone dismissive and disrespectful at a different business—so let others share their opinions too.

I love this studio! While all the employees are kind, Adriana, Grace and Cindi always go out of their way to recognize me by name, and help me. It is hard for me to go to the gym because I find it so boring lol. I was looking for a nice fitness class to get back in shape and this is it! You will never be bored and it will works your entire body. The studio is kept clean and they make all the customer wipe down the equipment and bar after each class! They don't play when it comes to cleanliness. I highly recommend this studio!

I am not typically one to take classes but a friend convinced me to sign up with her. 1 1/2 years later I am still enjoying Pure Barre. The instructors are great and have provided so much insight. I always feel challenged! Thank you Pure Barre in Edgewater!

Really great studio, the fundamentals class is a must take, it helped so much to get an idea of what I was getting myself into and just enjoyed the workout. It’s a full body workout for sure, remember your sticky socks and water!

I absolutely love this Pure Barre location! The staff and instructors are extremely welcoming and willing to answer any questions. I have a mild shoulder injury and can always count on the instructors to give me modifications. Injury prevention and correct form are paramount at this location and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a low impact workout that still yields results!

The teachers and the classes are good, however I recommend going to a different location. The timings of the classes are not great and they are usually full so it’s hard to book a class, the classes are not at the same time everyday, and they will not work with you to extend the expiration date of classes so you end up losing a ton of classes you paid for. Every other studio I have been to in the city, in Philly and in Florida have been more accommodating.
