I have been trying different workout classes in the area (Barre3, Avena, etc.), and wanted to check this Barre place out. I took their Empower 50 minute class here.A few notes: -This location does not have locked lockers. You can keep your items in cubbys. I'm the type of person who gets anxious about that so I kept my bag actually in the class room itself, out of the way, but I didn't feel super comfortable about an open cubby space. - Pure Barre are really adamant about the grip socks. Because this was a first time class, they were slightly lenient about me buying them, but highly encouraged it. After the class - I totally understand and highly recommend you bring grip socks. It will make your experience much better. - Very female-friendly in the sense that, like many Barre classes I'm finding, there were no men in the class. I will say that the classroom had a more hard-edge feel. I think it's because of the fluorescent lighting? It felt like we were in a basement, due to the type of lighting and that there are no windows. Great upsides: -Empower was a WORKOUT. I was sweating probably only 5 minutes in, and my muscles everywhere got SUCH a workout. I loved how the concept is never stop moving. If you do take breaks or water, it's for a very short period of time, but the momentum of the class keeps you going. As a newbie to this location, I kind of wished I had taken one of their Foundations classes, because it felt like everyone knew what they were doing. - The instructor was fantastic. As mentioned, I felt like everyone knew this class already, and I did not haha. But the instructor came up to me and gave me pointers or told me where to put my feet/hips to do the movements correctly, and I really appreciated that a lot. Only because I'm out of town often, and this gym is a little bit further of a walk than other gyms near me, I'm not paying for the month membership, but this is definitely a studio worth trying!

If you’re looking for authentic barre, give this place a go. Great community, run efficiently. I had muscles hurt I didn’t know I had and I’m an athlete. Happy to be part of this bubble! They’ve got three different styles of barre, something for everyone. PS would love some lunch time classes to become available ??

Awesome place for full body workout. Each class is still challenging after months of consistently going 3-5 times per week!

I have been going to pure barre for years at the studios in Williamsburg and greenpoint and now lic. I wasn’t frequent in Brooklyn but now that it is within walking distance, I prefer this location. The front desk is awesome and always trying to help you with whatever situation you’re in, and I always feel super welcomed by them. The teachers are the best. I really love all of them, and they all have a true passion for barre and to teach.Exercises vary each time, and I genuinely feel I have a full body workout. I stopped going to yoga and felt stretching was slightly lacking, but now feel a lot better since they have it. I’m out right now for surgery but will be back at it again soon!!It’s worth a try especially for anyone like me that is lazy and want a low-effort and low-impact workout and feel like they have worked out afterwards.Seems like a slight mold or leaky water situation in the roof which is really nbd since they have Dyson air filters. I have a personal connect if they need help that can give a discount.Also to whoever wrote that someone was demanding socks it’s a rule in the studio for safety and also for hygiene to wear socks. Some other studios don’t have this policy because they don’t have a carpet. Always found the front desk including the “Asian lady” to be helpful and accommodating with whatever issues we have. I have like 20 socks from them and have heard they have the best quality barre socks compared to other brands. I would recommend coming early if it’s your first time so you don’t feel hassled with buying socks on your first visit if you’re late.

I have to say I really did not funk I would be able to a A Pure Bar class. But I Did. With the help of Rachel she was awesome. She made me feel that I belonged there… she showed me ways to modify the program to fit my Abilities. She took her time and explained everything I asked about and told me what she recommended I start with to build my strength. I worked muscles I did not know I had. But I need it because I sit 9-12 hours a day. Thank you Kayla you and your team are amazing. If you are even thinking about trying Pure Bar LIC think no more and just call them. You will be so glad you did. I am Looking forward to my 10 day challenge ❤️

This is the BEST Pure Barre location in NYC! The team is super friendly and the space is large enough to rarely have a waitlist. The instructors really take the time to ensure you have the proper form and get the most out each move.
