This community truly makes PBSE a place we look forward to every time we come! Thank you PBSE for helping us find our place that is home away from home!

I really appreciated her telling me about the socks instead of me having to buy them at the studio. She was very helpful. The instructor Taylor L did a great job and asked me about my injuries prior to class. She had excellent accommodations and remember what I told her prior to class. As a former fitness instructor(and someone who used to hire them) she is an excellent instructor. Her explanations were clear, the class flowed well, and she provided multiple options. I also liked the number of participants in the class. Sometimes it feels so crowded but I feel this studio has the right number of participants. If I lived closer I would buy a membership here. I would 100% pay for another class if I'm in town

Naperville Pure Barre does it right! If you've never been to a barre class, I recommend checking…read moreout your nearest Pure Barre and if you happen to live even remotely close to Naperville, I recommend you go to this one. I used to go to Pure Barre in Texas, but I ended up taking an almost two year hiatus because my schedule got a little bit to hectic to commit. Now that I have some flexibility, I booked a class at this Pure Barre and headed in. The classes have been exactly what I was used to, but they're also different which is what I love about PB. You know what you're getting into once you've been to one class, but classes are just different enough each time that it never gets boring. So far I've only taken classes with Carly and she's really great! She stays on top of the whole class and ensures that everyone is using proper technique. Don't worry if you've never taken a class before, the instructors won't single you out, they'll come over to you privately and help you to find the right pose/posture. The owner, Kristy, is also a gem. She's super friendly and very welcoming to everyone. The one thing that really sticks out to me about this studio over others that I've been to, is class size. I used to have to workout really early or at lunch to avoid being in a packed to the brim class in Texas (they did end up opening a second location so I'm sure that alleviated some of the congestion), but this Naperville location is perfect. So far I've only gone to the 9:30am classes during the week, but they really aren't packed. I never feel like I'm trying to define my own personal space in this studio. If you want to try a new workout that isn't crazy intense on your body, but will still be challenging and changing... this is the workout for you! It's a great change of pace from yoga with the faster pace of Pilates. And this studio is top notch!

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.

People in the class seemed oblivious to the volume/distortion, but if they expose themselves to this regularly, they will experience hearing damage.

It's been exactly one year since I joined PBG and I have been so happy that I continued my…read moremembership despite quarantine! When I first joined, I wasn't overly sure that barre was for me, particularly since I was someone who was used to higher impact workouts and am extremely inflexible. After the first class, I was still honestly unsure if I wanted to continue, but stuck it out a week, then a few weeks, and here I am at a year and over 100 classes! First, I want to say that the instructors and staff have all been extremely positive, friendly, and helpful since I started. Like I mentioned, I am pretty inflexible, so adjustments to form and modifications are always helpful. During the in studio classes, I always felt that I was getting proper attention and motivation (even though it was SO hard)! Since we've been quarantining, I feel like the staff has really accommodated our ever changing environment to the better. Working downtown before did not allow me to take as many classes as I wanted, but now we're in a completely different environment. The PBG team quickly acted and created a Facebook group where they host (and save) live classes, which have been the highlight of most of my days usually spent glued to a desk and computer at home. Somehow, the instructors still manage to be just as motivating and personal on screen; they often call out cues and names when we need it most! Also, when the weather was nice, they hosted socially distanced outdoor classes, which were just as difficult and motivating as in studio! To me, the team seems extremely resilient to our changing conditions. They keep things exciting with challenges (which have been free for members, different from other places I've tried!), virtual events, partner events, and the ever constant updates on how things are going. I'm excited to see what this next year brings!
