I am only in my 2nd week of Pure Barre, but I am officially hooked. I was a little hesitant to sign up due to the cost, but thankfully there was a free week being offered so I could get a sample of the classes. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt very welcome. The instructors/front desk staff are warm and friendly, and took the time to learn (and remember) my name. The class instruction is wonderful with every instructor (I think I have had 7 different ones!) energetic and enthusiastic. There has not been a single class I didn't like. The music is great. The workout is fantastic as well, and in one week I have already noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit (as well as a reduction in my body fat % for an objective measure). I signed up for a month before my free week was over, and I can see myself coming here for a long time! read more

A MUST try!! Rebecca, owner and instructor of Pure Barre Baton Rouge, is not only kind, but extremely knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of her clients/visitors. I attended my first class at any Pure Barre today and am so happy it was here. Even though I was fairly out of my element (new to this form of exercise and unsure of the format of the class compared to others), Rebecca went out of her way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. The class was a mix of veteran and rookie barre attendees (though to me it seemed like everybody had a good idea of what they were doing) - which helped since I could look to others to ensure I was pulsing, extending, and locking at all the right times in all the right places. Throughout the class Rebecca made sure everybody was on track and during the moments anybody fell off course, she would quietly provide direction and guidance. She would do so while keeping everybody else going. The music was perfect, the building itself was clean and organized, and the workout itself was just what everybody needed. Based on what the other ladies were saying, the other instructors also lead fun and rewarding classes. I will most definitely be going to this Pure Barre when I am back in town!! Don't wait! Try it out. read more

I'll admit it, I've always had an aversion to exercise, and especially to group classes. As a sarcastic cynic with far from the "ideal" body type, I imagined a snobby, cliquey group of waifs gingerly doing arabesques. This couldn't have been further from the reality. From my very first class, I was welcomed warmly by everyone I encountered. The instructors are awesome, and they take the time to learn your name and really get to know you. They're motivational and positive without being fake and cramming BS down your throat; they're extremely knowledgeable and passionate and are always willing to help adjust your form and really get you to push yourself. The workout itself? Killer. Killer in that way where your muscles are screaming and you're dying inside and your body hates you, but afterwards you feel so awesome and so much stronger that you can't help but come back for more. And I have, about 5 days a week for 6 months. The physical results can't be argued with (8% body fat loss, 10 pounds of gained muscle while losing 15 pounds, the discovery that obliques and a seat ledge aren't purely an urban legend...) but the mental benefits are even better. Try it. You might like it, you might not. But damn if it isn't worth giving it a chance. And don't worry about "fitting in". Work to your level. Everybody's supportive and nobody cares if you're that chunky Asian girl with the running eyeliner cursing while sweat rivers pour onto the carpet. I know, I am her. Pure Barre has been a complete life changer for me and is honestly one of my favorite places to be. - Exercise-Phobic-Turned-Barre-Addict read more

I love everything about Pure Barre Baton Rouge! This includes the teachers, music, workout and the community. I've been doing this workout for 8.5 years and every workout is challenging. It is also a great workout for the mind and soul! I really love the reform and empower classes. They are great compliments to the classic class. I am so grateful to everyone that makes it a great place to workout. read more

Of course this has to be the first.... I love barre pilates, for sporty people especially these are the type of classes to get you motivated again! Its a workout that gets every part of your body, and makes builds you to the core again, awesome! The only downfall to Pure Barre is too many people in class. An uncomfortable amount, was not pleased with that at all. You sign up online for classes that should have a max number. Also teachers, a request please focus on less, it feels like you're trying to do too many things in one class we know you have beautiful bodies and know how to do all the moves that doesn't mean everyone does, the class feels a little unapproachable. Pure Barre, I am so glad you brought your business to the town and I'm looking forward to taking classes but please cap off the number of people you have per class please!!!!!! read more

Pure Barre - Pilates Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Loved pure barre. Went for my first time this week. The teacher is very motivational and the class is rough but you will survive. Tubes, small ball, mat, and weights are used. I bought a pair of sticky socks since it was my first time in a pure barre class. I'm feeling a good sore today. Will be back soon! Edit: been going for about five months now! Don't find myself thinking the classes are overloaded uncomfortably. read more

Best work out ever with the best sense of community!Pure Barre BR is the place to be to get your lift, tone and burn on!

I absolutely love this workout. Best 55 minutes of my day! You work the exact muscles groups that everybody (well at least the majority I know) wants to tone: arms, abs, thighs and seat. The majority of class is bodyweight so the moves don't leave your muscles depleted like with weights. You stretch every muscle group after working it, making sure blood flow is maintained throughout the body the whole time. It's a little awkward at first, but once you start understanding what each muscle group should be doing, the moves make much more sense. I have been going for a while now, and I have seen a change in my body, inches, not necessary pounds. So this is more of a maintenance type program rather than strictly weight loss. The new class type, Platform, is their own cardio supplement that you can take a couple times a week, to get the hear rate even higher. It is a very athletic type of barre/pilates type workout, but I have seen all body types and fitness levels feel comfortable throughout every workout. And the teachers, best in the business. They really push you every class and know their stuff. I never get bored, winded yes, but never bored. read more

I've been attending pure barre at this location for the past 3 years and I'm still in love. I've always loved how non-cliquish the environment is, though it does have a cult-like following (me included). Its the best combination of a warm, inviting environment and a killer work out. The instructors are always friendly and knowledgeable and they work hard to help you improve and perfect the technique to help you achieve your personal fitness goals. You don't have to be incredibly fit to do this because everyone works at their own fitness level and pace. I've also been able to experience pure barre through pregnancy and then postpartum. Each time the instructors helped me modify the work out to fit my personal needs/limitations. I can't say enough positive things about Pure Barre and this studio in particular. If you're on the fence just get off right now and try it. You won't be sorry! read more

Pure Barre is the best! I had not worked out in 10+ years when I first signed up but it has been life changing. Challenging workouts, motivational instructors and a great group of people to workout with and motivate you of all ages and sizes. I feel toned, strong and better physically and mentally. It's not for everyone but I truly believe if this 'ole gal can do it....anyone can! read more
