I had never done a group fitness class before Pure Barre. I'm not a "join the class" person, and I…read morewalked in nervous about not knowing what I was doing. That feeling was gone within the first ten minutes. The instructors are the heart of this studio. They're encouraging without being over the top, they give clear cues, and they offer modifications so you never feel lost, behind, or "wrong." They notice you, learn your name, and celebrate your progress, whether that's a longer hold, pulsing it out, or just showing up. I've never felt judged here, only supported and encouraged. The environment is just as welcoming. Everyone, from brand-new beginners to people who've been doing this for years, is friendly and encouraging. There's no comparison or intimidation, just a room full of people working hard and cheering each other on. I'm now 100 classes in, and it honestly feels like the easiest commitment I've ever made. I look forward to it, I feel stronger every week, and it's become something I protect on my calendar instead of something I have to talk myself into. If you've been on the fence, especially if group classes intimidate you, this is the place to start. Highly recommend!

I tried a complimentary class and it wasn't for me…read more I don't like the constant pressure in person and via phone (text and calls) plus emails) to join. I politely asked to be taken off the call list after the first contact, but they kept calling. I am still receiving emails because they have not removed me completely. It's annoying and feels desperate. I mentioned to the instructor after the complimentary class that I belong to Equinox and will just take the barre classes there. I had initially been attracted to the "community" this business talks about. She replied that Equinox instructors aren't trained. Equinox is a high performance gym and though not every instructor is perfect, I found it inappropriate and a bit rude to speak of people you don't even know.

I am so obsessed with this studio. The owners, Yaya and Hillary are such incredibly strong women that have cultivated a fun and safe community to work out in. I love all the clients and the sense of community. The studio itself is adorable- it is bright, sunny, and puts you instantly in a good mood. All their equipment is clean and up to date. They provide everything you need for class. My favorite thing about Shine is the "move to the beat" theme they have in every class. Music always motivates me to work out harder, so this is something I appreciate immensely. I also love their pillars of working out for yourself and for no one else. It's not about how you look, it's about how you feel. They work out not to get skinny, or lose fat-- but to feel better and create those endorphins because every body is beautiful, no matter what size :)

Why are they that desperate for $50!

Great exercise class!! The studio itself is located in a historic building and the high ceilings,…read moreexposed brick, and heaps of natural lighting make the space really lovely to work out in. The workout itself if challenging, rewarding, and invigorating. You will feel that burn!!!! But in the absolute best way. To give a little bit of perspective, this was just under twice as hard as a club pilates 1.5 class. (I always set my apple watch to a pilates workout and it tracks calories burned based on my heart rate, and a typical 50 minute club pilates class burns anywhere from 110cal-150cal, while a typical 1 hr bar class burns anywhere from 275cal-300cal...and I know these are both strength building classes not cardio but I think the calories burned provides a standard way of comparing how much effort I put into each class) My only slight gripe is that they fill up those classes and it can feel a little crowded in the studio. But overall, a really great workout class if you're looking to tone rather than bulk your muscles and grow stronger! Tiffany, who teaches the Saturday class, is great!

It was my fiancé's first time ever doing Pilates, and she was incredibly patient, informative, and thorough with helping him adjust his form. She made sure we both felt comfortable while still pushing us to work hard. By the end of class we were both shaking, and we woke up the next day extremely sore in the best way Marina's energy, guidance, and attention to detail made the whole experience so enjoyable.

I tried the hot pilates sauna. The temperature was great but I had to share it with two other ladies with there yoga mats.

It's a great workout and the heat is a plus. They offer different types of workouts which I love as well.

From day one, it was clear Ryan really knows strength training -- the level of expertise and knowledge he brings to every session is impressive.

I always feel like I'm in good hands. And the results speak for themselves.

Andrea combines Pilates, yoga, breath work, strength training, and holistic wellness into an approach that supports the connection between mind, body, and spirit. She has taught me so much about movement, stress, recovery, and how to better care for myself overall. I've gained flexibility, strength, and body awareness, and every session feels both educational and restorative. What makes Andrea truly exceptional, though, is who she is.

Weight training, cardio, and yoga were already part of my fitness routine, but I wanted to discover how Pilates could help me improve joint mobility, build greater core strength, and add to the way I was already training. Andrea brings an integrative approach to every session, seamlessly combining movement, breath, stretching, strength training, and mindful body awareness. No two sessions are ever the same. She has an intuitive ability to know when to challenge me, when to encourage me, and when my body needs something different. I leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and more connected to my body. Just as remarkable as Andrea's expertise is the environment she creates. Her warmth, positivity, and genuine presence infuse every session, and her studio is a peaceful sanctuary where you immediately feel welcomed, supported, and at ease. I leave every session feeling both challenged and restored--and incredibly grateful to have Andrea as such an important part of my wellness journey. She is an exceptional Pilates instructor, a gifted teacher, and a beautiful human being. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Sam knows a variety of different movement and healing modalities, and somehow she blends them all together in a way that just works. Every class I've experienced with her feels different and interesting. She's also just a really fun, down-to-earth person who makes everyone feel welcome. She's real, approachable, and has such great energy. Sam's belly dance and pilates classes are SO much fun! They're high energy, great exercise, and you leave feeling happy. You don't have to know what you are doing at all--she is super beginner friendly but also offers challenges to people with more experience. If you're looking for something that's different from your typical fitness class, I can't recommend Samantha enough. She brings so much knowledge and heart into everything she teaches. The somatic class was amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect at all when I signed up. I just knew I was going. I have done somatic work with therapists and such in the past, so I'm not a newbie to the concepts but I had never attended a "Somatics Movement" class before. We danced, shook our bodies like animals, did primal screams (which was an awesome release!), learned ways to calm our nervous systems and regulate the vagus nerve, and so so much more, then ended with a beautiful guided meditation and sound bath. The room itself felt incredibly cozy with soft lighting, candles, pillows, and essential oils. All these little touches made it feel really special. I highly recommend this class and any that Sam teaches.

The instructors are incredible. Each one brings something different, but they are all knowledgeable, inspiring, and know how to challenge you while still making the practice feel accessible. The energy at SOHO is super high vibration, but never in a way that ignores the reality of the human experience. You can show up exactly as you are--happy, stressed, energized, exhausted--and there is space for all of it. The location is PERFECT. Being right by the ocean means you can walk out of class and get an immediate dose of the Pacific, which is honestly divine. SOHO is so much more than a yoga studio. It's an incredible community filled with great people, amazing instructors, laughter, energy, connection, and really good yoga. Moving across the country was a huge change, and I feel incredibly lucky that SOHO was one of the first places that made California feel like home.
