PB is always an awesome workout with a great community. I moved out of Arlington, but have stayed a member here.

I love taking Pure Barre classes and this Arlington location is just as great as other PB studios. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. They correct your posture throughout the class if needed and call out your name for instruction as well. They encourage modifications if you have any injuries or want to push yourself to the next level. The class is upbeat and high energy, and I always have a good experience! Parking is a hassle because there is only metered street parking, and with various restaurants and shops nearby it is hard to find a spot regardless of the time. There's a garage right around the corner for $4 for the first hour, and then $6 for 1-2 hours. read more

After 8 classes, I feel I can finally do this place justice and give it a solid review! I am not a huge workout person, as I find it hard to stay motivated and get bored mid workout. My friends always talk about boutique-y workouts and I always felt like I wasn't going to enjoy such silly workouts. Finally, after hearing about all the benefits of the class I took the leap and signed up for a free week. This workout is NOT easy. Yes, I danced as a kid but it's been years and I'm not in shape. The class is low impact and anyone can do it but you WILL be shaking. That's the whole point of the class! While some people just effortless float through this class, I find it to be really difficult and honestly, a great workout. I have never regretted taking a class- it's a fun environment where you get as much out of it as much as you put in. I have tried classes with 5 different instructors, all different in their own right, with unique techniques and a lot of energy! Since I'm a newbie I still need a ton of help with my form and they are always giving kind reassurance in how to alter it. You don't necessarily have to be in tip top shape to do this class and it moves to quickly, you won't feel bored. The location may be small and I will say, the prices are high, but I think the instructors here are some of the best and it makes the price worth it when you feel the burn. read more

I love this studio and especially the manager, Jess. I've been a devoted client for many years and seen a variety of teachers and managers. Jess brings an infectious spirit and energy to the studio and draws in talented and dynamic teachers. This studio is a great fit for working moms, busy people, and those looking for an effective workout and encouraging environment. The hands-on corrections and technique are crucial snd what sets this studio apart from an "big box gym." I always leave feeling better than when I entered. read more

Early mornings with Kendra or Asia are the best! Thanks for motivating us and keeping it fun!

Before covid this place was a favorite among my friends. Unfortunately, they have resorted to threats and lies and using the contracts we signed before covid to pay the same monthly fees for virtual barre streaming (almost $200 per month) and not allowing membership freezes without charging. They don't care if you are immunocomprimised, high risk for covid, etc. Either pay them or pay them the cancelation fees and months you can't use. Pay pay pay. That's all they care about, is taking your money. I give 2 stars because this place was the best before, but they just don't care about their members, only their pockets. It is cruel and awful to take financial advantage of people during covid and threaten debt collection agencies when all you are doing is asking for them to freeze your membership. read more

I tried barre through ClassPass for the first time at this studio. After reading a few mixed reviews for the studio, I decided to check it out on my own. First things first, barre is an intense workout. I went in not expecting much, but when I woke up the next day my body was sore! The ladies at the front desk are very warm and welcoming. Make sure you arrive 15 mins prior to fill out the waiver and get yourself set up. Yes, this studio has a carpet floor, but that didn't bother me too much. It felt clean once inside. Once class began it was difficult to keep up, but if you're looking for a challenge then you've got it. The instructor mentioned that after a few more classes I'd get the hang of it. Note: There's no beginners class offered throughout the week. However, once a month they'll have a free step-by-step class on a Sunday for anyone interested in starting barre. Overall, would I do it again? Yes. Would I come to this studio? Yes. read more

I love this place!!!! The instructors are great and you feel very welcome from the first class you attend! I'm moving and am very sad that I can't transplant this shop. read more

It was after trying other barre classes that I realized how good Pure Barre Clarendon is and it made me want to post a review. Barre is great for toning with lots of core work, too, and it's a great complement to my cardio routine. The instructors are really good. You can tell they are experienced at their barre practice because of their form and they are good at correcting form and movements during class. They are also high energy, friendly, and make everyone, regardless of experience, age or size, feel welcome. I did barre from the time I was 5 months pregnant until two days before I gave birth to my son. The teachers all worked with me on modifications and encouraged me so if you need modifications just ask. The studio has an on-line scheduling app, there are lots of class times to choose from, and the studio is clean plus has a good sound system. As far as drawbacks, yes the classes are expensive, there is only one bathroom, and the studio is small, but the small studio doesn't bother me. I highly recommend Pure Barre. read more

I really hate giving bad reviews (actually, I never have for a fitness studio) but man, I really have to give this for this pure barre location. I did PB for 2.5 years before moving to Arlington, and absolutely LOVED it! however, when I went to this location, I was extremely disappointed. I got the 1 month unlimited, and I would say 60% of the classes started between 2-5 or 6 minutes late, they often ran late (which was an inconvenience due to the fact that I was timing it to get to work), and the instructors didn't teach form! I started Pure Barre at a studio where the teachers were PHENOMENAL. In all of the classes that I took here, the women in the class didnt have proper form at all - they were making huge movements (one of the golden rules of PB is to keep movements as small as possible) and didn't even have their hips tucked under. What's the point of paying a crazy amount for a workout if you don't even have someone to teach you the form? As I said, I have never given a bad review to a fitness place before, but this place was truly disappointing. I would not recommend - if you have barre experience, you will notice these things right away; and if you dont - well, you are just paying a lot of money to attend a class without learning proper form. read more

My review is based solely on customer service. I registered for a class online and was really excited to try Pure Barre out. I've been trying to find my new home barre/pilates location since Thrive shut down. I arrived 4 minutes prior to the class - I had intended to be earlier but parking was tricky for the 6 am class. When I arrived I didn't see my name on the list to check - the response was "oh, yeah - you didn't arrive 5 minutes early" ... that's when I noted the black line striking my name from the class. Instead of trying to explain or offer some assistance all I received was a shrug of the shoulders and I "well maybe another time"...... no where when I registered did it say I had to arrive 5 minutes early. Clearly they need to polish the customer service skills. With numerous other studios in the area I can affirmatively say I won't be going back. read more

I absolutely love Pure Barre. It's one of my favorite workouts, and if you stick with it, you will see results very quickly and it's incredible (combined with proper diet, of course). It transformed my body. I am able to keep toned and fit without doing large movements which negatively affect the herniated discs in my neck. The isometric movements are perfect. It's hard work, you sweat, and you feel great afterward. The Arlington location is great. The studio is clean and the teachers are great. There are a few who don't quite have their act together as well as others, but mostly they're just lovely. Great routines, energy, and encouragement. There is only one bathroom, and people do change in there. So, often, I find myself waiting in a long line of ladies just to use the restroom before the class starts. It gets a bit crowded in the studio, but that's me, and I'm not a fan of crowds. It's such a supportive environment, and everyone is so focused on doing their own personal best, I haven't had much issue with lack of personal space. I really wish the studios were somehow connected so that the monthly subscriptions allowed you to visit multiple locations, but that isn't this location's fault, more of a personal annoyance with franchises. I'd absolute recommend Pure Barre and specifically this location. read more

Pure Barre is a great workout (you don't need my yelp review to confirm that), and this location is pretty convenient if you live in Northern Virginia. I had great experiences with all of the instructors, and I definitely noticed a difference in strength/muscle tone from just a month of working out there. A couple of tips to keep in mind, though, for newcomers: - Yes, the classes DO fill up really quickly. However, a couple of things help with that: first, if you bought an unlimited package, it doesn't go into effect until the day of your FIRST class. So you don't really waste any time. Second, you basically have to reserve classes a week in advance. No need to stay up till 12am, just remember to get online sometime in the morning. You can always cancel later if your plans change. I honestly found it pretty manageable when I was doing the new client special. - Definitely ask an instructor about the part of the class where you're under the barre. I didn't get it the first few times, and it did nothing for me, but once you realize what you're supposed to be doing, it's REALLY tough. - Do not forget your sticky socks. The floor is carpeted so you're not allowed to go barefoot unlike in some other studios, and in regular socks I was slipping all over the place. As if you need anything else to make that forearm plank feel harder. - There's only one bathroom, and it also doubles as a changing room. No showers or lockers or towels, just cubbies. read more

I discovered Pure Barre Arlington about a year and a half ago. By taking class 2-3 times a week and slightly adjusting my diet, I saw immediate results- not only more tone and weight loss, but overall more energy, better metabolism and better sleep! I purchased the Bride to Be package and managed to lose 18 pounds before my wedding going from a size 8 to a 4. The teachers are incredibly helpful and hands-on with corrections to your form/posture. They are also extremely supportive and get to know you and your progress/goals. I feel challenged to work harder and not skimp on any exercises, and the music is really motivating. Before deciding if Pure Barre is for you or not, I recommend taking a few classes- not just one. The first few times I went I thought "this is easy" but I was surprised that I was really sore from the workout the next day. It took me a few classes to realize I wasn't quite doing everything correctly, and if you create resistance to your motions by tucking your hips, and using more isolated muscle groups with very small motions, the challenge is much greater and results are obvious! It's a bit pricey, and the studio is small so space is limited, but it's worth it to me since I finally found a form of exercise that really works for me and I truly enjoy. Their app is helpful and convenient for signing up for classes. I plan to be a Pure Barre client as long as I live near a Pure Barre! read more

I have been going to this location on and off for over a year. I always get out what I put in. I will not see overnight results if I only go to class once a week, but that is the same for any workout. If you want the best workout, go to Claire's classes. I am hesitant to recommend Claire's classes because I don't want them to be even harder to get into, but I would be remiss if I didn't say that her classes are the most helpful and hardest classes. Claire is my favorite instructor because she is constantly correcting your form, both through verbal class cues and also through manual manipulation. Since so much of having an effective barre workout is in understanding the small movements and isolating muscles, it is essential to be corrected if your leg is out of position or your range of motion is too large. Claire often starts the class by explaining a move that she has noticed other classes have struggled with and is very passionate about breaking down the movement so each person can get the most from her class. I have started taking her classes pretty much exclusively over the past few months when I can. Katie, the owner, is fantastic too, but the classes she teaches are not normally during a time that I can easily attend. I think any carpeted workout room is prone to seeming dirty, as some reviewers have said, but I feel like this studio is clean and the equipment is in good condition. If you are new to barre, I would definitely recommend doing multiple sessions during the first week to push through the soreness and to see results. As for instructors saying canned phrases, who knows. I feel like the instructors seem to know my name, even if I have only taken a class once or twice from them, and I appreciate the individual support during a tough workout. The only thing that I wish was a bit different is the environment in the room prior to and post class. I find that most people don't really want to engage with anyone else so it is a much more individual workout without the group energy to get your through. The classes that I've been to where people are laughing or talking are few and far between, but they are always more enjoyable. Not really sure how the instructors could change that dynamic, however. read more

I've really enjoyed the classes and teachers at this studio for a few years. I was disappointed that this studio had the least flexible pandemic policies of all the gyms and studios I frequent. As a result, I unfortunately lost ~$200 of class credits because they were unwilling to freeze my account and the one online class a day was almost always at a time I was still working (4:30pm, 12pm, 5pm). I've been trying to support businesses during the pandemic and probably would've purchased another class pack to support them if they were willing to allow me to use them when I feel comfortable going back to the studio. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case though, so I'll move on to another studio. read more

I've attended a handful classes now so I feel like I can write a solid review. I honestly don't love pure barre, but I've wanted to tone my legs and tummy prior to my wedding, so sticking it out for a little while - hopefully it delivers on its promise! What I don't love about it: the music isn't great, it feels very scripted (instructors walk around the room, call out "good job, [insert name]", and repeat then talk so quietly you can barely hear them when stretching at the end. It all feels way too rehearsed/unnatural.), it isn't as high energy/motivating as I usually like, and they won't stop e-mailing me to leave a review after every class. The plus side is it's nearby me, and it's easy to squeeze in classes throughout the week. read more

I went to a class in the middle of the day, so I didn't experience any of the crowding that other people mentioned. However, I could definitely see how it could get really crowded really fast. My instructor taught me the lingo and some of the techniques as it was my first time attending a class. She was pretty good about going around and correcting form, but I'm still not 100% positive I was doing it correctly. Parking can definitely be annoying because there aren't a ton of spots, and you have to pay everywhere you park. I'm definitely going to try another class! read more

I enjoyed my experience with Pure Barre so much that I want to try other barre studios now too. On pure barre, I found the instructors helpful and the workout challenging. The only criticism I have is the routines are hard to follow sometimes if you're not a regular. This is normal but I've tried other workouts that deal with this better. I would highly recommend pure barre. read more

I have taken 3 barre classes between this location and the Vienna location, and have made the decision that these studios are scripted, choreographed to be the same, dirty, and does not compare to other studios. Like some other boutique studios in the area people who buy into Pure Barre are buying into a lifestyle/brand than an actual exercise regimen. The studios as a whole are very small, so when classes have been larger it gets pretty crowded. As far as demographics go this isn't something young people are doing. I found the bar you actually do your exercises on to be sticky which really grossed me out, and as other users have noted the carpeting was cheap and smelly. As per the work out, I have been to other barre studios where they work around injuries, and the work out is based around a regimen that closely resembles moves used in physical therapy. Pure Barre does not ask its clients if they have any specific injuries that require modifications, and they also seem much more interested in trying to make the works outs ,for lack of a better word, "hip" but using equipment and complex movements without much one on one instruction which could lead to injury. One of my biggest issues with Pure Barre is that their classes are scripted! In every class I have been in the instructors say some of the same phrases, one of them being "Great job Cooper!". What are the chances that there is a Cooper in every class I have taken, some consisting of 5 people, in different studios? That is not okay. Having made friends with a large group of fitness instructors everyone I know who teaches barre tells me that they do not do barre as their exclusive workout, because while it is great for stretching and flexibility it is a relatively weak work out. Pure Barre however tries to convince their students that barre can be your one and only, which is just not true. From a strengthening standpoint it is lacking, and from a cardiovascular standpoint it is also insufficient. Pure Barre is more concerned with selling sticky socks to people for their scripted and poorly orchestrated classes. I wont give anything fitness related a complete bash, but there are better studios. read more

I love Pure Barre! For me, it's definitely the most effective workout method around by far! It definitely has a cult following. Let's just say when other non-Pure Barre studios mention low client turnouts due to weather, Pure Barre classes are packed wall-to-wall. That says something! For this review I am going to focus on the Arlington studio specifically. I've already written a lengthy and detailed review of Pure Barre in general, with some tips, which you can read here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pure-barre-rockville . Yes, it's for another Pure Barre location, but it's much further away, so I don't see it as being in competition with the Arlington studio. Since Pure Barre is a franchise, the studios are all run in a similar fashion, so the review is still relevant. Arlington location: I've been to three Pure Barre locations and the Arlington location is my least favorite. It's the most popular Pure Barre studio in all of Northern Virginia so classes are PACKED. Classes sell out well in advance. I would be upset if I had an unlimited package here because it would be difficult to use the package to capacity. This Pure Barre studio is also smaller than other locations. Expect to bump arms with your neighbor and have a foot in your face. It's just the way it is. On a freezing February day, the room was really humid and hot. There are spaces where you can be situated under a fan to help with the heat. The entry way is packed too with 30 people coming and 30 people going all while getting or dropping off personal belongings. Staff: The staff and instructors are well trained. Out of all of the Barre studios I have attended, Pure Barre does the least amount of hands-on corrections. The class is super fast paced, which I like, but sometimes I am concerned about my form and corrections would be helpful. Parking: It's Clarendon, so parking can be a bit tough, but at least there are some free parking options around (the Alexandria studio's parking situation is worse). There is street parking near the studio but it's hard to snag a spot. I believe the cost for the meters is $1.25 per hour (free after 6 pm on weekdays and all day Sunday). A few blocks down (if you are in the studio facing outwards, go straight), there are some free 2-hr and 4-hr parking spots. Expect to walk 2 - 4 blocks. There are many nearby parking garages with varying rates. Package Price and Restrictions: Most of the Northern Virginia locations offer a 12-month auto pay for $185/mo. That's the best value available. Packages cannot be transferred between studios even though the same owners own three studios. Once you attend 100 classes, you become part of the 100 club. Classes towards the 100 club are not transferable across studios. Also, when purchasing a package, you can only take classes at the same studio you purchased your package from. You cannot use that package at any other Pure Barre studio. You have to purchase separate classes if you want to attend multiple studios. This inflexibility is what prevents me from purchasing a package. I believe these rules are stipulated by the franchise agreement. One upside is that since each studio is considered to be independently owned, you can participate in the one month $99 new client special at each location. Overall, there are some downsides to attending Pure Barre classes (packed classes, parking, pricing, package restrictions, etc), but the workout itself is phenomenal and worth checking out! Three stars for the Arlington Pure Barre studio, five stars for the Pure Barre workout. read more

First - I went into Pure Barre- Arlington with a completely open mind. It had great reviews when I was researching the teaching style and their team seemed very friendly based on their online presence. This is NOT the case in reality. I started Pure Barre in Feb. of 2015 to get in shape for a June wedding. The instructor who did my intro class taught me the basics but after that, no one could even remember my name. I was attending class 4-5 times a week and signing up at least two weeks in advance to get into their pre 9am / post 5pm classes. The classroom is also TINY for a group of up to 30 participants and you almost always feel crowded. The instructors seemed more interested in talking to each other after class than getting to know the people they were teaching. I was looking for instructors who created a friendly environment with a great workout. I'd look somewhere else if you want engaging instructors or a challenging workout. read more

The pros - convenience, generally a good workout and some instructors take it up a notch. The cons - Pure Barre inc. The carpets all Pure Barres have are disgusting. They are hard, rough, and visually unappealing. They remind me of the carpet on the Metro system. However, that is a corporate problem and not the fault of this Pure Barre. The studio itself is a little claustrophobic. I have had 1 or 2 good instructors. They generally offer challenging workouts. However Pure Barre is more concerned with being hard and challenging with tons of random props rather than having people doing the workouts safely and correctly so they are working the right part of their body the right way. You don't really get the positive affects of a workout when 90% of the class has no clue what they are doing and are just flailing around like a fish out of water. Having taught barre previously, I can recognize this almost immediately. Also - this is what causes injuries. Again, Pure Barre inc trains their instructors to repeat a script when instructing to avoid any deviation from the corporate routines and image, just devoid of any individuality. read more

They are so friendly, great instructors. If you can't do something the modifications are easy to transition to so you still work at your level. read more

Let me start by saying that I am a 50 year old, chubby, executive. My first class at Pure Barre was pure torture. The workout was intense and I wasn't able to keep up. The rest of the class was about half my age and I wanted to scream a warning - "This is what happens when life gets in the way of fitness!". Through this, the instructor, Lauren, was extremely attentive. She made sure I had good form and kept me from hyperventilating. The next day I was sore all over which prompted me to buy a five class package. I wanted to see if I could improve in five classes. This morning I completed my 17th class and I almost made it through the whole thing - WooHoo. I have taken classes from Carlee, Claire, Ena, Lauren and Michelle. Each one has a different style, but each one has been supportive and more importantly, concerned about my form and overall safety. I would like to give a special shout out to Lauren who always has encouraging words. I've read the other reviews and would like to offer that yes, it gets close in full classes, but never in an "invade your personal space" way. I have found my fellow classmates to be very respectful. As for getting into classes, I have been successful on waitlists 100% of the time. I have a schedule and a set time that I reserve. I have only needed waitlists when I haven't gone to my regular class. I have always found the studio/entrance to be clean and my inner germaphobe has never come out using the equipment etc. For those reviewers that say that instructors and participants aren't friendly or interested in getting to know them, may I suggest Meet Ups? I am there to work out and while it would be nice to have light conversation while waiting for class to start, I am still having trouble catching my breath at the end of class. As for the formulaic approach, this gives me comfort. I know that the exercises and program have been tested and it is not just someone who passed an online "personal fitness coach" certification test making stuff up. I guess the bottom line is that I love the staff, the program, the facility and the sticky socks - and oh, I can see my biceps again!! Thanks Pure Barre Arlington. read more

I love Pure Barre Arlington! I've taken multiple classes with multiple instructors and they are all fantastic. I leave knowing I had a great workout and the low impact workout mixed in with running keeps me in shape. Highly recommend--if only it was cheaper! read more

I love Pure Barre! The workout is high impact enough to feel it the next day, but short enough to easily work into my morning, lunch break, or evening. I find myself motivated to attend because of how energized I feel after class and the community Pure Barre Arlington has fostered. The people are welcoming and the facilities are clean. The staff are fantastic at adjusting moves or reviewing them with me before and/or after class. read more

I'm not one to spend time writing long reviews on establishments... but after some time, and thinking about the following this place has, I felt like I should say something. I've never been a pure barre lover, but I figured I'd try a class at this location because it was convenient, and I love barre so much. Well, needless to say, it was not the best experience. I walked into the studio on a Saturday, and was hoping to sign up for class. I didn't sign up ahead of time because I didn't have an account, and wanted to walk in. When I went in and spoke to the woman behind the desk, she was immediately off putting. She said "our classes are often waitlisted so you should've signed up in advance." Well, I wasn't aware, so I didn't even think about that. But ok. She said, "if you wait there (pointing to a corner of the studio, I'll see if you can get in." I felt like a nuisance. I almost wanted to apologize for coming in, but I thought that's ridiculous! As I'm waiting to see if there will be space in the class, another woman joins her behind the desk. They started the most bizarre conversation about buying and selling high end bags. This new woman starts talking about how she buys and sells bags for $3,000+ and how she has connections, very high class, very exclusive... it was just a very strange pretentious conversation to have in a fitness studio. It just didn't feel right. Meanwhile, I'm still there, looking around, waiting to see if I can take class. No one really acknowledges that I'm there, or engaged in conversation. I felt very unwelcome. Very uncomfortable. Very excluded. So, eventually, just left. If you're looking for a place that encourages and builds community, this isn't the place. At least, that was not my experience. There are so many studios in the area that love their people, who care, who show compassion, who are welcoming... this isn't that place. I will never understand the obsession people have with pure barre, If this is the way they treat their students. read more

Love this studio! Friendly instructors, great location, and shape changing workouts (and a lifted seat as a bonus!)

Great classes and instruction. Claire teaches a great class !!! The workout is challenging and fast paced. Need to attend more than a couple classes to really get the hang of barre Parking can be tough at peak class times read more

Pure barre was fine. I've taken a lot of barre classes in the area, and they really are all different so it's just a matter of what you prefer. I tend to be a bit of a psycho about intense workouts and pure barre just wasn't for me - I wanted a little bit more of everything. The instructor was great, I just didn't feel like we held the moves long enough for me to really burn anything out. Nice studio though! read more

After two months of ClassPass, I got the chance to try several different studios in the area. I like Pure Barre more than the other barre options because I feel like I'm getting a more challenging workout consistently. While the Arlington studio is on the smaller side when compared to a lot of the other studios, the instructors are great! I always feel challenged during the class, but love that these instructors push you to do your personal best and offer modifications to make each move easier or harder. read more

I have been to this studio a handful of times for various promotions. The teachers are friendly and attentive, but the location is really difficult if you don't live in the neighborhood. There is available street parking, but at a cost. The studio itself is pretty typical for Pure Barre, but there is a weird distracting bar in center of the classroom (it is also a little awkward that the drinking fountain is in the classroom, but the space is what it is I guess). Overall, I think this would be a great location if you are walking distance from the studio but otherwise it's not too user-friendly, unfortunately. read more

As a newbie to Pure Barre this has been a great place to learn. Great instructors and music! Easy to get to location and nice clean studio.

I absolutely LOVE the Pure Barre workout. Since I started almost 3 years ago, my body has completely changed. I am stronger, fitter, leaner, and HAPPIER. I love the teachers here at the Arlington location. They consistently help clients to improve their form. I never take the "same" class twice, so it's great to keep my mind attentive and of course, shock my body. The music is motivating and the energy high. What I have found in addition, especially if you take consistently, is that you become part of a Family. The Pure Barre Arlington Family is amazing. I have met amazing women in this group and have developed lasting important friendships. Now THAT'S motivation! And the contests that keep you coming back, the workshops, and charity classes, always worth being a part of. I'm a Pure Barre addict, especially at Arlington! read more

I fell in love with Pure Barre a few months before I moved to the Arlington studio and since my first class with Jenna I've become more and more hooked each day! I was never a group fitness type of person at all but since finding Pure Barre it's become my main workout. I used to only do cardio but since starting PB I have become so much stronger and gained confidence I never thought I would have! Not only does each class push you to work harder than the day before, but the teachers are extremely encouraging and supportive! If you're even considering starting Pure Barre you should absolutely try it! They offer a discounted price for your first class and a month unlimited for around $99. I must admit that after my first class at a different studio (and the soreness that I was not expecting the next day) I wasn't sure what the hype was all about. I signed up for a month unlimited and quickly realized why everyone seemed to look forward to class each day! It's such a great way to step outside of your comfort zone, especially if you weren't a dancer growing up! I recommend Pure Barre to all of my friends and even got my mom hooked! The Arlington studio is made up of some of the friendliest people and it is such a positive and encouraging environment! The girls at the front desk are always welcoming and the teachers are always willing to help you learn more about different moves or how to take your workout to the next level! read more

This is an AWESOME workout and the instructors are all very nice and helpful. The studio is clean and conveniently located. The only downsides are just how crowded it is (the studio is not large and all classes all completely full), and how pricey the classes are. They do offer specials now and then though, so keep an eye out for those! Definitely worth the cost or an unlimited if you attend regularly enough. read more

Pure Barre Arlington is great! I loved my first class. The instructors are so helpful and welcoming. I am excited to do more!

I love Pure Barre in Clarendon! The instructors are awesome, they are really helpful in correcting your form in a positive way. I highly recommend this studio for a first timer or an experienced person. read more

I'm so disappointed in this place--especially since I live right across the street! I was so excited when it opened and bought an unlimited monthly package. I found it near impossible to get into any classes evening or day time that worked with my schedule. The few classes I was able to schedule were a mixed bag--two instructors were good and one seemed bored and annoyed that she had to be there. I also had troubling rescheduling a class (same issue as above) and called and left a message asking for someone to call or email me to discuss. I never received a response.
