Love this new gym concept in Mount Pleasant! Yes, a membership is expensive, but I think of it as…read moregetting 2 fitness studios for the price of one, as the Hy and Lo classes are both very different and work out my body in completely different ways. I love HyLo for the showers alone. The women's shower is a full room, with marble walls, and all the accoutrements you'd need--soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, towels, and even a scale. My only complaint is that they don't have makeup remover or any hair products in the bathroom when I'm getting ready after my workout, but I just bring what I need from home. The HY classes really work you in the cardio department. They all use a combination of spin bikes, rowing machines, free weights / kettlebells, ropes, TRX things (idk what they're called), and body weight to perform a lot of exercises in a short period of time with a lot of energy. Similar to what I assume some crossfit classes include. The LO classes use a special board to use your body weight and weighted poles or rubber bands to strengthen your body using your own body weight. This is most similar to pilates, barre, or yoga. All of which I'm terrible at, as I have the upper body strength of a newborn baby. Both classes totally kick my butt and make me feel like I've really worked my body hard! Highly recommend!

For first time attendees, you'll fill out a waiver at the front desk and the girl was really sweet. There are two changing stalls available and they also have clothes for sale. Bathrooms and parking were also available. The studio was bright and cheerful and there was plenty of space for us. Our instructor Jen was super supportive and I liked her teaching style - she was very positive and emphasized the importance of making this our workout. She also made sure to lay out what section of the class we were going to do next. The equipment needed is also written out at the front (for this class we used medicine balls and a bar). The class ended with a stretch on the barre and Jen asked us for our names as we put the equipment away (so nice!). Overall I had a positive experience and it was a good workout.

There is a definitely a sense of community and support. They push you hard- I get a way better full body workout here then I have at other barre studios. I love this and feel I get my money's worth/ especially if I'm taking a full 60 minute class versus the 50 minute express. On Tuesday afternoons Catherine teaches a Cardio Barre class and you do bursts of HITT workouts in addition to regular barre routines. Think jumping jacks, burpees, etc. It is a great way to get in some cardio and switch things up. The first class you try at Barre South is free and then. You can do 1 month of unlimited classes jn both locations for $50. A great way to get you hooked!

Summer means less traffic, more time, and hotter weather, so I decided to check out some of the…read moreboutique fitness studios around town- including Pure Barre Mt. Pleasant (South). The Pure Barre studio itself is fairly small but welcoming. You don't have to arrive super early to set up equipment or stations, and most people walk in shortly before class time. There's one bathroom in the back, along with cubbies for your phone and personal items. For the class, bring a water bottle and sticky socks- if you don't own a pair, you can buy them in-house. Tip: The socks are one of the least expensive Pure Barre branded items you can buy. My first class was with an instructor named Kelsey. We talked a bit before class and she demonstrated a few signature moves for me, like tucking (oh, the infamous tucking!). I've since taken classes with a few instructors, and every one is very positive during class, even encouraging students by name. They also offer adjustments and alternative exercises if you're struggling with an injury or setback. Pure Barre is a solid workout. Even coming from a fitness background, the core section helped me discover muscles I didn't know existed- especially the next day. I used the 2lb weights in the first class to learn the moves, but quickly moved up to the 3lb ones. Larger weights are offered, but never underestimate how tough pulsing small weights can be. Start small until you understand the moves. If you're active in another sport, Pure Barre is a great cross training activity to exercise other muscles, like stabilizing core, thigh, and glute muscles that may not get as much attention from running or other cardio. I also like that class is exactly 50 minutes and you don't leave drenched in sweat. The class isn't heated, so you can run errands or go to Whole Foods next door without having to change clothes or dripping sweat all over your car seats. Classes are even offered around noon, and if I worked in the area, I could see myself doing that as a lunch-break workout.

The classes here are similar to the South Mt. Pleasant Pure Barre by Whole Foods. However, this location features class times like 5:15 AM for those who wake up early (or can't sleep). There's also a 6:15 PM class many afternoons, which is convenient for those who prefer to exercise after work. Pure Barre classes are a great experience. Instructors greet you by name and encourage you during the class. The workouts are tough, but by the end, you feel accomplished and proud- and the next day, you'll feel SORE. It's a very positive environment, as exercise should be. One of my favorite things about Pure Barre is that you don't get super sweaty during the workouts, so you can run errands or grab a bite afterwards. You sweat some, but you won't have to put down towels on the car seats to drive home. Parking is plentiful and easy in the shopping center, and you're super close to stores like Walmart and post-workout snacks (Tropical Smoothie, East Bay Deli, Starbucks). If you're looking to shake up your workout routine and add an air conditioned option in the summer heat, I'd definitely recommend Pure Barre.

I wondered if it was just me that thought it was a killer class, but once back in the ladies' locker room was reassured when even long time members felt the same! Sam was great and tough- she speaks a LOT faster than I am used to at home, but the moves were 99% familiar to me now, after six months (vs only a month when I was here last), though with some variations on things like Tree pose that I have in all classes at home. Sam had the same personal/name using touch that Ann Lane did last year (I was sad that she wasn't on the schedule but hope she is well and still teaching somewhere!). Much appreciated as an infrequent flyer. Still $20 a class and still more than worth it. I am coming off a back injury so I may do another 90 or possibly a Bikram 75 before we leave tomorrow night...being in class is really when my back feels its best! Definitely a super studio.

I took my first class this morning - I was almost late and came running in, "am I too late?" Nope said Jen, owner & barre instructor & proceeded to help me get set up. The 915 am Fri class was packed , but enough room for all, I have taken barre classes for over a year but wasn't familiar with all of the exercises but with the help of the girls next to me and some sweet correcting from Jen, I got a great workout, Honestly, I expected it to be easier than what I am used to but soon realized that the hard work was dependent on how deeply I focused & not just the class. Harder to focus when you are trying to figure out where to put your hands but I bet after a couple more classes, I will be in the Barre zone. If you live or are visiting near downtown Charleston, I highly recommend this fun studio. The only downsides to me was how crowded it was (good for them!)
