First visit to Pure Barre and it kicked my butt. Signed up for the free intro class, Jody and Maggie took care of me. It's located in a cute area with some shopping around, including Lululemon which is right next to Pure Barre. You'll go down the hallway and and make a left and you're there. There is a mannequin at the corner, so when you're coming out don't let her scare you because she scared me lol. There were only two students for the intro class, so it felt like we had our own personal trainer. Maggie was really attentive and helped guide us through our first session. She was really good with restructuring your posture when needed and gave reassurance that we were doing it correctly. We definitely worked up some sweat! Will have to stop by again and try the Pure Classic! read more

Pure Barre - Amping you up as you walk in - Barre Classes Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

I stopped in while in Denver for business, and I had a great experience! Everyone was friendly and helpful - it felt just as friendly as my regular studio in Houston! I highly recommend taking a class with these ladies - whether you're experienced or new. read more

My first visit to this Pure Barre location was earlier this year - they had a special free class/open house to kick off the new year. My friend and I were so amazed on what a good workout this is, that we signed up for a few months on the spot! Pure Barre is such a great workout - it's different than any workout I've ever done (who knew - you can burn serious calories without slinging kettle bells and pushing tires!) - and it will leave you feeling exhausted, in a good way. I totally second Lisa's comment on needing a secret code to get into this place - the first time I went to this Pure Barre location, I was *so* confused. Thankfully one of the instructors was outside and pointed us in the right direction. (The address is 32nd, but the door to get in is actually in the alley between 31st and 32nd.) This studio is always having introductory offers for new members, so if you are even considering trying Pure Barre out, there's no reason not to! read more

Walking up to this place, I felt like I should have been prepared with a secret knock and code phrase just to get in. I didn't pay attention to the website before I came, it clearly says, "entrance is in the back alley". So I wandered around on 32nd for a few minutes before seeing the tiny little red "p" sign that is their logo on the back corner of the building. After going around the corner, half down an alley (that was very well lit at 5:50 in the morning), I see this large metal door that looks like it leads to some sketchy warehouse. Luckily, it led to a nice hallway that takes you to Pure Barre. I've been to a couple classes here. I recently became obsessed with barre and this place is fantastic. They mix up the classes, sometimes you'll use a ball, sometimes a band, sometimes one set of weights, sometimes two. But no matter what you're using, your legs will be literally shaking! The instructors are great (and encourage the leg shaking). They don't do the movements with you though, so sometimes I have to look at people who seem to be regulars to make sure I'm doing it right. If you are doing something wrong, the instructor will correct you--always in an encouraging way though. They have really good new client specials. If you're looking to get into barre, give it a try. read more

I read about Pure Barre in Competitor magazine, and decided to give it a shot as crosstraining for triathlon. I am an Ironman, so I didn't think they were going to throw anything too challenging at me...I was wrong. My very first day, my muscles were shaking the whole time. It is an incredible workout, but it's such simple movements that anyone could do it, and it's adjustable to any level. It gets your heartrate up without you even realizing it's happening, and the workout changes up constantly, so just when you think you can't work that muscle any more, you've moved on to something else. The girls here who teach the classes are encouraging, kind, and ever so helpful. The best part is that after I went home raving about how amazing a workout I just got, my husband agreed to give it a shot as well. He has been the only guy in the dozen or so classes that we've taken and the other girls love it! To see a big burly dude struggling more than they are is gratifying. read more

I took a private class here with my monthly girls group and it was fantastic. Leslie, the owner taught our class and she was fabulous. She is obviously very qualified and passionate about teaching, and learning from her was great. Leslie corrected our posture and I got the best work out I have had in a really long time. The atmosphere is comfortable. The location is great and easy to find. I highly recommend checking out this studio if you are interested in a ballet type workout. read more

Today was my first time visiting this studio and I have to say -- I had a really great experience. From the moment I walked in (at 5:45 am) I was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. I informed the staff that it was my first time doing barre and they were very welcoming. Mel was wonderful! She took the time before the class to give me a great overview of the upcoming hour and she was consistently upbeat and helpful during the actual class. I cannot wait to go to my next class with her - she makes you happy you got up so early because she kicks your butt! Onto the but kicking. I have been running for my whole life and had to change due to an injury. This workout today had me shaking like I have never shaken before! My muscles were fatigued and I was sweating from the onset. This was a great experience and I cannot wait for my next visit. read more

Their "no late entry" policy at exactly the time the class starts is ridiculous! I arrived before the class started and was IN THE STUDIO changing in the bathroom only to come out to find that I wasn't allowed in the class. I've been to hundreds of barre classes and can't quite wrap my head around how allowing me in 3 minutes late to class is a "danger" to other students. They might trip on me while they are doing leg lifts? I might step on them while they're in plank? I explained that I'm a working mother and didn't have another opportunity to go to another class and they wouldn't make an exception. Really disappointed in this studio. read more

OMG-- Your in LoDo now!! Another great location for me to hit up on my way home from work! I really enjoy the fact that my entire core is worked on in the appropriate and safe way. Can't say enough about the experience. I am going to bring my pregnant friend next time! read more

I love Pure Barre Highlands! The staff are friendly and quickly learn your name, greeting you every time you come in and encouraging you in class. I always leave feeling as part of the barre community (even as a beginner) and knowing I got a killer workout. I first came to barre on their anniversary and took the free class to try it out. Then I purchased their new client special--it is a great deal. You won't great trying it out. read more

I'm a fan! Like most reviews below, I to was looking for the perfect work for me. Gone are the days of sitting around and eating whatever- I now have to work out! I have tried several different work out plans- bootcamp and crossfit were my last 2 attempts, I liked them fair enough but I was bulking up and that is great for some..... but not for me! So with my friends advice (and the changes I have seen in her) I tried pure barre. I love that it works all those problem areas (arms, legs, abs and butt) and the class works them all in one hour. PERFECT!! I'm loving the tone results I am seeing (and I am seeing the pretty darn quick).....I'm hooked!! read more

I tried this place for the first time after buying a Groupon. I've always wanted to give PureBarre a try but the price kept me from going ($25 for a drop in); the Groupon was a perfect opportunity for me to take a chance on something new. All I can say is, this is an amazing workout program. The class provides a workout for the entire body and is very high energy - I was so sore the next day. The teacher was welcoming and provided great feedback for adjustments that made the exercises more effective. Staff members up front were equally friendly and helpful. I'm hooked! read more

Don't waste your time with this place - they promote being a great place for pregnant women to be able to come and work out before and after having a baby. There is no disclaimer anywhere on their site that you have to obtain a doctors note to attend, nor is there any disclaimer with that information on hand in writing. However in the indemnity they state that you release them from all risks of injury or even death which could occur. Its great that they have testimonials from teachers and students who have done pure barre all the way through their pregnancy and being such a promoter of supporting this type of exercise all the way through - however they don't appear to want to!!!!!!!! Furthermore the indemnity is from California so you would have to go to California courts if anything went wrong or you were injured. Highly embarrassing for my wife and we certainly will be telling all our pregnant and non pregnant friends not to go. Another "FRANCHISE" with false promises read more

My friends had a great workout and I enjoyed hearing about it. Too bad I missed it since I walked around the building/block several times....NO entrance marking, NO signage in the front, NO ONE answering the phone NO outgoing voice message indicating an unusual entrance, NO information on the website about 1) getting to the class well in advance 2) doors locking before class 3) how to get into the studio in the first place....and OH! 4) Where to park!!! I found a spot a block away and had to negotiate carefully to avoid a ticket on the street (didn't see the time-limited parking restrictions since it was dark outside). I had to pound on the double metal door in the alley with the circle P logo and the "Retail Entrance" sign (hmmm, is there a studio in there?). The poor staffer there that night apologized profusely indicating that the local Highlands Business District had such strict signage requirements they had been in a long battle. I do sympathize with that. However, after months and months of business, why can't the owner at least communicate with what she can control? (Website, outgoing voice message, and ask the other businesses in the building for a 12" square space to post a sign? HELLOO!!!!!) Today, I emailed the head of the franchise who nudged the Denver Highlands Franchise owner to call after 13 DAYS of NO RESPONSE. The franchise HQ was responsive at least. After the Highlands franchise owner finally called me back, she politely said "I appreciate your feedback," but then also had the gall to tell me that "every one else knows what to do." That's exactly what I needed to hear - not. Guess she has enough customers that no new ones are necessary. Ever hear of customer service? Maybe going through a customer experience, testing your website, phone line, surveys and not assuming "everyone knows?" Rating - UTTER FAILURE if I can't get in the door. I rushed through traffic to get there on time. My time is money. She apparently has enough. read more

I had a mix up with the online scheduling on classpass. I arrived right on time, and the girl at the front desk couldn't find my name in the system. She didn't let me in the class, when she could have easily figured it out with classpass. She was unfriendly, and unprofessional. I will not be returning to this location!!!! read more

I wanted to write a review to let people know that some of the previous reviews are very outdated. 1. they send you an email when you sign up for your first class saying exactly where it is located and to enter through the alley, etc. Once you get there it is well marked. 2. In the email it also says to arrive 15 min early to fill out paperwork prior to your first class. 3. It also states that if you are pregnant you need to get a note from your dr before your first class. It also says this on the top of the webpage when you are looking at the schedule, etc. That said the only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I think the monthly unlimited is a little too pricey, although the 10-pack is a decent deal, and the class was a little too crowded for my liking. Overall, it was an amazing workout, a lot of fun, and I really liked the people working there. I'm definitely going back once I'm not too sore to cough! read more

I have been looking for a workout that would tone my abs and my thighs, so through extensive research, I found out about barre work-outs. I have done yoga and pilates on and off for years, and have been a pretty active runner, so I guessed I would be in good enough shape for about any fitness class. This one kicked my butt though... I spent the whole workout wobbling like a newborn deer and sweating. The instructor, Denise, was pretty good about correcting my form (CONSTANTLY), which I appreciate. Because the movements are so precise, you must have good form to get the best workout. I joined with a beginner's deal, but am already looking forward to re-enlisting and having rocking abs and a firm booty before New Year's. read more

Im pretty new to barre but I must say this is my favorite Denver location. The location is a little tucked away with a neighborhood feel and the staff and class attendees seem very down to earth. I plan to commute from Wash Park regularly:) Trish and Sydney are fabulous and encouraging. read more

Who knew such small movements could have such a BIG impact?! I left with sweaty hair and wobbly muscles all over for sure! I've been wanting to try Pure Barre for a long while, but found cost to be prohibitive. I just purchased a Groupon for 5 classes, and am so glad I did! I had a back surgery last year and have been slowly rehabbing, and core work is key! It seems I've found the place to truly zero in on that! The small class size (there were only four people in the room when I went at 8:30 am on a Tuesday) meant that there was lots of individualized attention for each participant. Note that since I've only attended once, I don't know if this is a regular thing. Even if there were more people I feel like I would have gotten a great value because the instructor, Alexis, took the time to talk to me both before and after class to learn about my injury/surgery, what my goals were, and how I could improve my moves for a more productive workout during future sessions. She gave me many modifications that made all the difference for me and my personal needs. Having an informative, competent, kind instructor(s) truly makes or breaks a fitness class/studio! I am hoping that there are future deals that can help me to continue attending Pure Barre classes in the future- it does sound like there's a first month deal as well as a "bride-to-be" three month deal that I may explore further. If personal attention like this is the norm, then the classes are worth the price. Ultimately, core work should be incorporated in every fitness regimen, and a once or twice weekly visit here may be how I make sure to get my midsection strong to support my bum back (and a defined tummy wouldn't be a bad side effect!). read more

This is hands down the best body shaping work out I have ever done! The instructors are great and I don't feel out of place even though I'm out of shape (but working on it)! After trying everything from power walking to pilates and everything in between, this is the best for me! read more

Love barre classes ! The manager Lizzy is super helpful and sweet :) I will definitely be back, location is easy and convenient for me

This review is purely customer service based, I haven't even stepped foot into the studio yet and I am already blown away about how well I have been treated! I had a mix up with a package that I bought online and when I called the front desk the receptionist was very nice and understanding and offered to have the manager reach out to me ASAP. Usually these things take days or weeks but I had an email from the manager Renee the next day offering to help fix the mix-up. It was such a quick turn around and they made it so easy. I am so excited to get into the studio and experience their customer service first hand, oh and hopefully get an amazing workout! read more

Let me just start by saying I LOVE Pure Barre!!! I have tried many different workout programs, classes, bootcamps, etc. and have never enjoyed a workout the way I enjoy Pure Barre. A fitness trainer friend of mine takes classes there, and I figured if she raves about it than it must be good, so I decided to give it a shot and fell in love! The classes are good sized, not to crowded and there are all different ages/shapes/fittness levels there. I am always a little worried when I try a new class, but I left this class feeling 1. a little noodle leggy, 2. very energized and accomplished, and 3. excited to try it again! The teachers are all great. They correct your position and help you out during the workout, but they also point out when you are doing it correctly which is really nice since I sometimes worry I am doing it wrong and maybe they just don't see me =), so it is nice to hear them say GOOD JOB followed by your name (which they are REALLY good at remembering)! The one reason I didn't give them five stars is because of the cost. It is pretty expensive =( They have a great $100 for unlimited month for first timers, but after that it gets pretty expensive to do every month. If it was possible to give 1/2 stars they would definitely get 4 1/2! If they lowered their prices or offered promotions I would be there everyday! I certainly recommend trying it out, and fitting it into your budget whenever you can, great workout with great results!!! read more

Everyone here is super nice and sweet, not pretentious like some might worry about Pure Barre. Mallory is awesome--she will kick your ass and push you to go harder. If you have a chance to take Katy's platform class when she visits, DO IT--she's so great. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that parking isn't great when you come during busy times (like after 5 p.m.). I wish there were some reserved spots in that adjacent lot for Pure Barre clients. read more

The Pure Barre workout is amazing! It works your entire body but concentrates on the core, thighs, and butt. It is definitely challenging, but doable for the beginner. All of the instructors I've had are fantastic - you can't go wrong with any of them. That being said, try to take a class with Melanie. I took my first class from her and her energy is infectious! The instructors spend the whole class demonstrating the moves and then watching all of the students to make sure our form is correct. At first glance it may seem expensive, but if you buy the 20 class package, it turns out to be $17 per class which is competitive with yoga and pilates classes. Take advantage of the 1 month unlimited classes for $100 (new students only). I also really appreciate Alex, who works the front desk. She always makes me feel very welcome. I highly recommend Pure Barre Highlands! read more

Owner emailed me a month after my previous post. Kara is no longer on schedule. Have been about 12 times since and every instructor has been absolutely perfect. read more

If you really want to tone, strengthen, and shape your body, this is the workout for you. The workouts are based on the Lotte Burke method, which means working the muscle to failure and then stretching it out. We use light weights, a stretch band, and a small ball (a killer for those inner thighs!), and then a mat for a terrific ab workout. Long and lean! I've been a fan of this method for a couple of years and the results are worth the effort. Now this about this studio. I've read the reviews for the Cherry Creek studio, but the experience I've had at this studio isn't like that at all. Everyone there is wonderful. The instructors are enthusiastic and helpful, and most important, they know their stuff. They watch us carefully and make those small, critical corrections that make all the difference. So go--try one class. The classes are small, the training is personal, and the students are women of all ages. You won't believe what this workout will do your body if you're 20 or 50! read more

WOW. I just had my first class at Pure Barre this morning and It was AWESOME. I have been working with a personal trainer for months and training for a marathon, and thought I was in peak shape.... WELL, I thought wrong. Pure Barre works muscles that I never thought I had. The exercises are challenging and you can feel the muscles working throughout the whole class. Their motto of "tone, lift, burn" is completely true. Maisha was an amazing teacher! Super enthusiastic and incredibly helpful when it came to technique and motivation. I am so excited I finally decided to try out Pure Barre. I think I am addicted, because even though every part of my body is sore, I want to go back tonight. I cannot wait to see the results of Pure Barre! Anyone who's sick of going to the gym 7 days a week, and seeing minimal results should try out Pure Barre. I cannot wait to have a dancers body! I am addicted, for sure. read more
