I had a very disappointing experience with this business while working with a group of students at…read morea neighboring school program. We were supervising students who were creating artwork using spray paint in a shared parking lot area. A staff member from this business approached us in an extremely aggressive manner regarding concerns about overspray reaching her vehicle. While I understand wanting to protect personal property, the way the situation was handled was completely inappropriate. Instead of calmly speaking with the supervising staff or contacting management, she raised her voice, repeatedly scolded us, and continued addressing the students directly. After I informed her that I would get my manager, she continued speaking to the students in a confrontational way. The students were simply participating in an educational art activity and should never have been made to feel as though they had done something wrong. What concerned me most was the impact on the students. Adults who are strangers to them should not be approaching them aggressively or creating a tense environment. When I returned with management, the confrontation continued in front of the students rather than being handled professionally through the appropriate channels. As two grown women running a business in a shared community space, they should be able to communicate concerns respectfully and directly with supervising staff. Unfortunately, that did not happen here, and the experience left both staff and students feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

this is my 6th month of PB, and i feel transformed. i actually noticed visual results (ab tightness…read moreand definition, flexibility, more toned arms and legs) after ~20 classes, and right now i feel stronger than ever. after finishing my intro month, i had to commit to a year membership immediately. after trying several studio fitness places in evanston, i found pure barre to be the only one that i always look forward to and make time for. the workouts are fun and i especially love the playlists that include classic chicago house tracks. they have two class types right now, for you to switch up your fitness regimen (as u should)- classic barre, and empower, a cardio based class. i know they're working on releasing a new class that is more focused on resistance training soon and i'm very excited! the staff are caring and make an effort to get to know you. not only do they are on a first name basis with every patron, but i was shocked to see that i had received personal texts from the front desk and owner, continuing conversations we had in real life or just following up on how i was doing, because i had never really experienced that with any other business before! the teacher training is very rigorous from what i've heard, and you can tell from the way class pans out. they seem to never miss a beat, are constantly adjusting postures that make the burn excruciating, have the entire routine memorized (class "curriculum" differ class to class, month to month, and teacher to teacher). the joint events they do monthly with other wellness businesses, i.e. juice shops and free people, are also super fun, along with PB events and activities like monthly challenges and bingo. the studio is very clean and their clothing selections are very cute. they carry favorite brands alo yoga, lululemon, etc (BasicB******alert) i also love how there is an emphasis on strength and empowerment, rather than on losing weight and being skinny. kudos to the body positivity

I'm an active musician who's played in metal bands, so I'm no stranger to volume and amplification. I asked her to turn her headset down, but nothing changed. So I left after five minutes. Too bad, as the moves in the class seemed good and challenging. Pro musicians learn to safeguard their ears. People in the class seemed oblivious to the volume/distortion, but if they expose themselves to this regularly, they will experience hearing damage.

I've been attending PT with Jen for about a month now and this is by far the best PT experience I…read morehave had! Previously I had been to one of the larger places where you're in a room with other people and you may or may not have your actual PT, it might be their assistant. Reform is completely the opposite and I have enjoyed every minute of it! Jen is amazing and is addressing other areas of concern in addition to my knee. In just a few weeks, I feel so much stronger and motivated to continue to work outside of my appointments as well. You're working one on one, so you're not in a giant room with other people who are all doing PT at the same time. It's so personalized and targeted to what's going to help you the most. I'll also say I love the online booking system. It's super easy and if I need to make and adjustment, I can. I look forward to finishing my appointments with Jen and it's been so nice to not deal with pain in my knee every day!

Despite this, we were still charged without any advance notification. When we reached out to address the issue, the response was extremely unhelpful. We were told nothing could be done about the charges, and the only option offered was a future credit. There was no consideration for the fact that injuries don't have a fixed recovery timeline, and no effort to handle the situation with understanding or flexibility. Overall, the lack of communication and empathy is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place.
