Additionally, the classes are consistently overcrowded, making it hard to get a good workout. Be careful: if you miss a class, they hit you with a very pricey "no-show" fee.

If I could rate Pure Barre Elmhurst more than five stars, I would. I've never been able to stick to…read morea consistent workout schedule until I joined, and now I just hit my 250th class here. The instructors here are TOP NOTCH and make me feel so excited and empowered to push myself and get stronger every time I come. The owners are also incredible women that have created the most welcoming, inspiring community here that you could ever ask for. The community is so kind and there is no toxic environment here. Just supportive members, staff and owners. The goal in this building is to become a stronger you, mentally and physically-- NOT to just lose weight/get skinny. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, there is a place for you here, and instructors are more than willing to offer modifications if you are having trouble. I'll be honest-- the unlimited membership is expensive for me, but worth every last penny because there's nowhere else I'd wake up at 4:45am to go workout at day after day! If you're thinking of trying out Pure Barre, I would highly highly recommend trying the free trial class, and I hope you end up loving it as much as I do!

Spectacular instructors. Insightful about what is going on with my body (and other class…read moreparticipants) during group pilates, yoga, barre classes. I have no idea how the owner/instructor has managed to attract such amazing teachers - but her business expanded a lot in the last 2 years and she needed more people - fortunately every one is great. The vibe is very friendly and supportive but rigorous. Everyone encourages each other. By rigorous i mean the instructors help you do the move correctly so you benefit from it - whether mat class, reformer, or other apparatus - doing it right makes you stronger, more flexible and minimizes the chance of injury. Modifications are always there for people who don't can't do an exercise the "standard" way for a range of reasons. MBS is very beginner friendly but great for advanced people too. Some advanced classes will really kick your butt if you want/need that.
