Tried Pure Barre Old Town for the first time and had such a great experience. Shoutout to instructor Laura, her playlist was on point, the moves were definitely challenging, and she explained everything clearly for a first-timer. She also offered really helpful corrections that made a big difference. Would definitely recommend adding Pure Barre to your workout routine. read more

Pure Barre Old Town staff worked with me in scheduling and practice modification as I prepared for knee replacement surgery. My orthopedic team highly recommended this type of "prehab". Now I am back following surgery training for what I love to do, hiking. They are the best! read more

Live in the Gold Coast, Old Town, South Lincoln Park and looking forward a place to workout? Have to try Pure Barre! The Pure Barre workout isn't what it used to be!!!! There are various classes from low to high impact and the membership is diverse. There's no intimidating pressure, the facility is clean, the instructors are great, the music is bumping but not screaming. So basically good classes @ multiple times + good instructors + reasonable pricing = MUST check it out. Your first intro class is free. Enjoy you won't be sorry!!!!! read more

I'm new to Pure Barre Old Town, and the experience has been AMAZING. The instructors and staff are warm, passionate, and supportive, taking the time to learn your name and offer personalized instruction. They offer a variety of classes and mix things up to keep them fresh and engaging. What truly sets PBOT apart is its strong sense of community--it's a place where you feel connected, inspired, and excited. read more

Super friendly staff! I loved how intense the beginning of class was - it set the foundation for the rest.  Class was fun, energetic, and went by so fast! Oh, and the studio is spotless and spacious.  It also has a bunch of cute workout gear, so you can get your shop on before class.  There's a changing room in the waiting area and cubbies and bathrooms on the other side of the studio.  Oh, and just in case you're new to barre - no shoes here.  The studio is carpeted, so don't forget to bring your grippy socks.  And the staff is super friendly! Now, on to getting buff.  I've been around the barre block, and enjoyed the fast pace here.  For the class we used weights, a ball, and a double tube.  Also, I lucked out and there were two other instructors in the class, so we had someone to look at while the amazing main instructor walked around the room making adjustments (which were on point and private - no yelling and calling you out in front of everyone from across the room).  Overall, my arms, seat, and thighs felt the burn.  We did our abs with our backs against the wall, and since that's not something I'm used to, it'll def take a few more visits to get it right.  Also, like any barre class, it takes some time to learn the cues, so I can only imagine the burn after a few more classes! read more

Intense and strong workouts. The three stars are for this. Problem: i did the $100 first month free trial and could not go because of a health issue. Later on I was charge $200, with no notice or email receipt. I was lucky I had checked my bank account that day, or I would've had a problem. THIS IS NON-REFUNDABLE. They said I had signed something when I did the free trial that I could not receive a refund later (fine print). Very disappointed in this. I wish I would have known it was coming, and I could've done something about it. Will only be going back to finish out my $200 month. Will not come back after. read more

Pure Barre - Outside of Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I took one class here this past weekend while visiting my sister in Chicago and could not have had a better experience. Not only was the entire staff extremely welcoming, but so were others attending the class. I have been to several other PB studios in the past and Jordi was such a great instructor--friendly and helpful throughout the entire class. Great workout and will absolutely be coming back to this studio whenever I visit. read more

I love it here! The teachers are all great! I personally love attending Ariana's and Jordi's classes. The energy is great in the morning and I'm really focused on making that mind and body connection. I'm 8 classes in and am already seeing a difference in my body and flexibility. I would highly recommend barre and this studio if you're in the area and want a great workout! read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wanted to quit my membership and was forced to pay an additional month because they require a 30 days notice. So I'm paying to use there business well into mid August even if I'm quitting in June - ridiculous!! Why that would be required I have no idea but it's policies like this that make me hesitant to ever become a member of business like this. All they care about is getting as much money from you as possible. read more

Pure Barre does NOT honor UNSUBSCRIBE on their email list. I took ONE class in 2017, hated it, and haven't been able to get off their mailing list since. When I unsubscribe, I'm dropped for about six months, then the emails show up again. Normally I wouldn't write a review about something so stupid, but I've called, I've emailed and I've hit the unsubscribe button so many times, I feel obligated to inform others. read more

I've been doing PB for over two years now and this studio is my very favorite. The instructors are so friendly and the workouts are tough but fun and effective. If you haven't tried, I highly recommend doing so! read more

I have been taking classes at Pure Barre Old Town for the past 8 years and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. All of the instructors are so helpful, enthusiastic, and motivating. Every class is different and challenging. Whether I'm taking Classic, Empower, or Reform, I know that I am going to get a great and fun workout. I highly recommend checking out this studio!

Pure Barre Old Town is truly phenomenal! The team is so friendly, accepting, inclusive, and motivating and the workout is full body, low impact, and different every class. Instructors make an effort to get to know you, empower you to do what's best for your body, and keep class fun with great music. Highly recommend! read more

So, I may have been dragged here for my workout, but after giving it a try I'll continue to go back willingly :) The studio is so clean and the instructors make sure to introduce themselves to everyone in the class. I really appreciate that they are so hands on (often literally) to perfect your form and make sure you are doing the exercises safely. I also really love that the class changes each time and that they continue to keep their clients challenged. I'm discovering muscles I never knew I had (mostly cause they hurt quite a bit the next day!). Well worth the money! read more

I was looking for something to get me back into a schedule of regularly working out. I saw that there was a Pure Barre nearby and thought that I would give it a try. I took a Foundations class with Jordi and knew I found something to keep me accountable! Despite the workout being low impact, I feel stronger and leaner after each class. It's been a great addition to my regimen. Highly recommend it for all levels! read more

This studio is a dream! Came in for my first barre class today and I'm a huge fan. The woman working the desk was as pleasant and helpful as ever. I was nervous for my first time and I am very out of shape. The instructor, Allison was perfect and made adjustments and gave helpful tips the entire time, I really liked that. As for the workout itself, it's tough but I can tell I'll be getting great results if I go regularly! You're definitely going to feel it the next day :) read more

After searching high and low for a workout class I enjoy, I have finally found Pure Barre Old Town. I have tried spinning (cycling), yoga (many types), pilates and a personal trainer but never felt motivated or excited to go back. Each class is 60 minutes and is divided into shorter segments 6-10 minutes of focusing on particular areas or muscle groups. I really enjoy this, as it keeps things changing and entertaining throughout class. Since s tarting classes in late April, I have noticed how much stronger I have gotten! Class continues to be challenging and I still have a ways to go! In terms of teachers, they are all great and have their own style to teaching class. I cannot recommend any teacher over another... just take a class with every teacher! read more

With so many different options on Wells and in Old Town I love that I have now found Pure Barre! It's an amazing workout that you can do for back to back days. The instructors are great and I love how they always remember your name. It makes coming into the studio great. If you haven't LTBed then you better try! read more

Pure Barre is the best. But you already know that. So, at this location, Kathleen and Anessa are great. For beginners, it can be a little overwhelming. I remember feeling like everyone knew what was going on but me. I promise if you keep with it you will get the hang of it. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make mistakes! Your pure barre ledge will thank you! read more

Loving this gym. Everyone that works here is so nice and helpful. They are always around to answer any questions you have. They are also so good at remembering names and do a great job making you feel welcome. I have really enjoyed my workouts here! read more

I've been going to this studio for 6 months and can't say enough nice things about it. The studio is always clean and each instructor is better than the last. The classes are challenging but doable and you can really see a difference in your ability every time. read more

Pure Barre is a great workout that is challenging every time I go. I love how the instructors help you make adjustments and provide positive feedback throughout the class. The 55 minute class flies by. It's a bit pricey but after only 5 classes I'm already seeing and feeling results. read more

So, it has been a year and a half since my initial review and i am still feeling the burn. As the studio continues to grow, the teachers and staff still maintain the personalized care and attention to detail. I thought I might get bored, but I haven't. Grateful to have a go to workout that continues to kick (and lift) my butt! read more

I don't get it. Yes it was semi hard but after a fifty minute class, i barely felt like I had worked out at all. The moves are so subtle it's hard to grasp the concept and where you are supposed to be feeling them. Maybe a private lesson is the way to go so you could ask more questions about where you should be feeling the moves. The ones I did feel were ballet inspired exercises that are easy enough to replicate on your own at the gym sans instructor. There are too many great workout studios in the city where you can actually go and feel the benefits of the time you spent at the studio after one session or class that I have no desire to return to this location. Except for perhaps the retail section which was on-point. They had a lot of cute workout clothes and members (i learned) get 10% off. read more

Helpful staff, a little on the expensive side but still a good difficult work out if you have a coupon.

I've taken barre classes at other gyms and franchises and so far Pure Barre is my favorite. What I like most & stands out to me is the facility (love the carpet & I like that they keep it & the equipment feeling clean.) I also like the exercises here and how they put their routines together. Something about it stands out from the other gyms... I just can't put my finger on it. Staff and instructors are helpful and very friendly, always a plus in my books. read more
