It is a little on the pricey side so I usually only get there one day a week. I've only gone to total Barre classes and I love them. They are so fun and energetic that you don't even realize you're working out until class is done. The music is upbeat and enjoyable and the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this studio if you're looking for a new and fun way to work out.

The barre classes can be intense, but the instructors always make a point to say listen to your body. If you need to stop, just take a break and go back into it when you can. The yoga classes have been great. I love Alyson's classes, especially the energy medicine class. Very restorative. I have my own mat, but tend to come straight after work and just use their mats. There is a changing room that can be used to change into workout clothes. The staff is engaging, the location is nice with lots of parking (same parking lot as Ken's, but in the back of the building to the right), the pricing for the class cards is reasonable, and the studio is clean and inviting. What more could you ask for?

I have watched my body transform and it continues to get leaner and stronger the longer i stick to a routine. I mainly go to classes by TK and Taylor but all the instructors are highly skilled.

Then Susan opened Core Barre, and I joined, and it has been the best experience ever. The instructors Susan, Donna, Sarah, and now Liz are motivating, kind, and very tuned in to where you are at in your work out. There is a very warm accepting vibe, and the competition aspect is gone, so you can truly get the work out you need. I vote for Core Barre as the best place around not only for the expertise in fitness they have to offer, but the family friendly feel Susan and her instructors give to the place each and every time you go.

Extremely knowledgeable instructors keep everyone motivated to work out with fun music and frequent routine changes. Class pace is quick and energizing, with lots of cardio, unlike some barre classes I've tried where you just ambiguously tuck your pelvis for a while. The studio has a cozy feel and is also a really functional space that doesn't get overcrowded because advance booking is required. Classes are definitely challenging (esp barre power) but the instructors always give examples of how to modify so that people of all fitness levels can succeed. Two years later, and I still love Barre 44. The new studio space is super-airy and light, but still manages to feel cozy and inviting. With the recently-added trampoline cardio class, good luck getting rid of me!

I really liked this class. I do barre3 in New York so I'm no stranger to the workout but I found…read morethat the instructor I tried on Saturday morning was so nice and led a really great workout that balanced cardio, weights, and strength training perfectly. She also had a really fun playlist - better than other barre3 classes I've done before for sure. The studio itself is really pretty and bright with a good amount of merchandise for sale. It's a nice open room with lots of mirror real estate. The class itself was more crowded than what I'm accustomed to in New York and I found myself bumping into my neighbor a couple times which was uncomfortable. Imo they would really benefit from reducing the class sizes by 5-10%. I was also a little frustrated by the conflicting info on their website which said in two different places that all equipment was provided, and then separately that you were responsible for bringing your own mats and props. As it turns out, equipment IS provided, but that should really be updated for clarity's sake. All in all, a good and fun workout and I'll be back, but some frustrations with the studio as a whole.

The studio is so beautiful and bright, each staff member is incredibly friendly, and the place has such a great energy overall. I have tried other studios, but nothing even comes close to this. I drive an hour and a half round trip just to take classes here. The intensity of classes and supportive community is worth it. I have suffered from intense chronic pain for the past 13 years and going to class here on a regular basis has given me more relief than anything else I've tried. You have to give barre3 a try!!

There was 20+ people in the class and it was crowded and felt very superficial. Not once did I hear a welcome. It was my first time and as I walked into the workout room I saw people had weights in front of them, as a first timer | thought maybe there were more people than planned so I sat on the floor with nothing in front of me. As more people arrived, they walked in with weights. I soon realized I had to grab my own. There was no one greeting or instructing us with this. The workouts were fine and the instructor was average. There are much better locations for barre including Core Barre Studio in Newington which l attended for the first time just the day before this class. I wouldn't recommend this studio.

I have never felt more in tune with my body and confident with myself. From a classic to an Empower or Reform class, I am challenged every single day and I appreciate that each studio changes their routine frequently.

The instructor announced that there would be a book club held next week and there were even Polaroid photos of members that finished recent challenges. I have nothing but good things to say about Pure Barre. It's home!

I cannot speak highly enough about this place! From the exercise itself, to the customer service,…read moreto the location, it's all wonderful! I started doing barre last year, and this was my first experience with it. I have a pre-existing knee injury that severely limits my ability to do any interesting workouts. I found barre and I was sold. It exhausted me, it was rewarding, and I seriously got so much stronger so quickly! It is an amazing experience. The teachers are motivating, the classes are inclusive of all body types and abilities, and everyone is kind. The goal is to get stronger - not hotter, skinnier, etc., which I really, really appreciate. The customer service is also fantastic! I have had some issues with my knee and as such have had to stop going recently. The customer service team worked with me to pause my account indefinitely so that by the time I come back, I won't be paying any additional fees or increased payments. They respond promptly to concerns, and are always apologetic if something goes wrong. I've never been worried about feeling heard with them. The location itself is very convenient, and has great hours. They have classes ranging from 6am to the evening, which I really appreciate! It's such a cute place, and is always sparkling clean. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

I can park right outside the facility in a parking lot, which isn't the case at all Barre studios.

Their extensive personal and professional backgrounds in dance and fitness is comes through in class. I know I will always be challenged and get a great workout here!

Basically I worked with a trainer, I got measured once at the beginning. I went in 1-2 (usually once a week) and the workout was just too much for me but I did what I could. I got a phone call or email from my trainer saying "oh this was your last session today so you can let me know if you want to re-sign, etc" My first response was "I never even got measured to see how I did", no response. Fast forward, after writing my review, I got a voicemail from the owner...so nice. Can we do something, I will give you a refund. I said I will not take a refund but I will reschedule with a different trainer. I took the review down. Well my friends, after it got taken down I didn't hear from her. I sent her emails (which I still have) which I would say is about 6. So I'm sorry but the review goes back up. I would NEVER go to this place again.
