I've been going to this studio for a couple of months now and it has been a pleasure every time…read more The trainers are so welcoming and the group has always been supportive. I love how empowering the women are here. I never felt out of place or uncomfortable. I'm not in the best shape, but I never felt judged or anything like that. The trainers make a point to welcome you to every class and always stay behind to answer any questions or just to chitchat. I go roughly twice a week and love seeing familiar faces. I use ClassPass so booking a class is always super easy. The environment is clean. They offer water bottles if you forget to bring your own. They provide mats, weights, and whatever else you may need for the class. I would recommend this studio for sure.

I discovered Barre3 thru Groupon, and purchased a month of the unlimited classes. I was so glad I…read moredid, I really enjoyed the month while I was there. This studio is very clean, it has shower and they provide hair bands, toiletries and towels. Owner sometimes bring some healthy treats to the studio and share with students. Everyone's friendly and welcoming, instructors try to remember students name and talk to each person as they come into the classes. Barre3 focus more on cardio and balance, the class will make you sweat and stronger the more you go. I was surprised how it changed my body shape and toned my muscles in 30 days, with 5 classes a week. Sumo squats transform my big flat butt to a firmer and rounder smaller butt. :D If you never try barre before, try out Barre3 and see how it can change your body in 30 days.

This 5-star review is long overdue!…read more I joined Pure Barre Chastain over two years ago, and I've stayed because of the outstanding management and staff. Gyms can often feel intimidating or impersonal, but this studio is the complete opposite. The service here is truly A+ -- welcoming, supportive, and motivating from day one. The instructors at Pure Barre Chastain (and their sister studio, Pure Barre Buckhead) are exceptional -- always upbeat, encouraging, and approachable. They keep classes fun with positive shout-outs, new routines every two weeks, and great playlists that range from current hits to old favorites. Even after two years, I still look forward to every class and never feel like I'm doing the same workout twice! The management team -- a mother and her two daughters -- have built an incredible, family-run business that's been thriving for over 15 years. Their commitment shows in every detail, from the quality of instruction to the helpful front desk staff. It's no surprise they have so many loyal members who've been with them for years (some with over 2,000 classes!). If you want a motivating, fun, and genuinely supportive place to work out, Pure Barre Chastain is it. You'll feel stronger, more confident, and part of a truly special community.

Elevate is the fourth iteration of a barre class I've tried (go ClassPass!). I liked the format of…read morethis class definitely over Pure Barre. There was more stretching in between working the various body parts. Ultimately, that's more effective because it does give the muscles a much leaner look. I'm not sure if the music theme was intentional, but playing a remix of Bootylicious during the booty segment cracked me up. If it was intentional, then extra points! I particularly appreciated working the side glutes. The "dancer dents", as Ginny called them, are the part I'm most interested in smoothing out. The only other time I encountered this particular exercise was at Exhale. If this is a staple in class, that's even more incentive to go. Personally, Brianna's 6a class at Pink Barre Buckhead is my favorite barre class. However, since it's wildly inconvenient now, Elevate has taken the coveted top spot in my barre class list. Oh and there's a disco ball.

I appreciated the individual attention, direction, and options for modifications that she gave to not just the in-studio students but those livestreaming. She made the class as fun (good music!) as it was challenging. The pace was also exactly right - some studios I go to up North rush through moves but even in the express class, every move had a purpose and there was just the right amount of water and stretch moments. Facilities are clean, spacious, and welcoming. There are lockers and changing room etc., and cute swag for purchase too. Highly recommend if you live in area or are passing through.

A dance instructor that I met a few years ago has been having private pop-up classes here, and I've…read morebeen attending. I know that there is a regular weekly schedule of classes as well. It's really easy to spot the location as you approach the shopping plaza from the south, and it took me less than 5 minutes to get here from I-285. The studio is nicely decorated, giving a comfy, welcoming feeling when you enter. This is in stark contrast to some studios I've gone to that are basic and drab. There is only space for one class at a time, but the floor is huge! I'm thinking there would be more than enough room for a class of 30 people. There are barres (the portable kind) for hosting ballet classes, and weights of all sizes for fitness classes. The floor is kind of slippery, so if you tend to dance barefoot a lot and have soft feet (like me - definitely slipped a couple times lol) I'd suggest to at least wear some jazz footies with a grip bottom. There is ample cubbie space to store your belongings during class. There's even a good amount of waiting room for parents if you're looking to hold a class for children. Also there is a dressing room in addition to one unisex bathroom. On my way out, I spoke to the owner who was extremely friendly and mentioned that the studio has several time slots open for rentals at the moment. Dance instructors - check this place out!

Make sure to drive slow on the access road when you get close to to the plaza so you won't miss it. The entrance it interesting, like a go kart ramp and the studio is on the right towards the middle back section. There's a huge CW sign on the left side of the plaza to use as a guidance. As a first timer, all I had to do was sign in. The staff told me where the bathrooms were and where the class would be held. I took the row Barre tonight. Class was super fun that incorporated water rowers that made me feel like I was doing manual laundry watching the water slush around as I pulled. With some repetitions with rowing and mat exercises and other half the class we did Barre movements on the bar. Felt like this class focused on the toughest areas to lose weight on, your arms and abs. It incorporated rowing, weights, barre, and ballet. I always wanted to take ballet classes when I was little so it was an extra treat. Overall, had a great work out!!! Side note, heard pretty bumpin music for the class next door. Not sure if I heard right, polelataz class??? Anywho may have to check that out as well.

Found this gym right near my house and am so glad. I signed up for a membership after trying one…read moreworkout! I love it now and am obsessed with how time-saving the workouts are and how simple they are to book. ***Location: Right at the Perimeter near the Sandy Springs/Dunwoody line. I love that it is walking distance from my place, so I can get a mini warm up in, walking over to the place. I don't need parking, but there is a huge lot shared with all of the businesses in the shopping center and there are plenty of spots! ***Staff: The new owner, Ann Marie and the new manager, Hattie are both super nice! I hadn't heard of this place previously, as I recently moved to the area, but I see that there are lots of negative reviews from a while back, but glad to see that it is under new management and all of the staff is amazing and welcoming! They helped me get set up with my membership and walked me through everything and answered all of my questions. ***Experience: Great experience! I have been several times now and still need to try soo many of the workouts, but I really love the Hot Blast and have done that several times. I also like doing the Hot Yoga right after, to get a longer workout in, that is still way less time than I would have spent doing cardio and yoga in a traditional gym. When you sign up they show you how to login and use the app. It is super simple to book your time slots. Each room can fit up to 3 people, but I believe they are still only taking 2 per room for social distancing. You can see on the app though if anyone has already booked. I went very early the other morning and it was super nice because there was only one other person working out in a different room, so it was very nice to have the sauna room to myself. I also went before opening, so I used my code to get in. It is a 24 hour gym so it is perfect if you are looking to go really early or late! Each session starts on time. You can see the schedule times on the app, but the HIIT sessions are on 15 min loops and the Isometric on 30. You can go in, adjust the temp and just follow the workout that starts automatically on the screen. I love that it isn't intimidating and they show different options for different levels, but the added heat makes you sweat and you still get out of your house to go. I feel like fitness programs at home don't really keep you accountable, but here, you still go in and people could still potentially be in the room or walk by, so there is somewhat accountability to actually follow the routine, but no pressure to be perfect since it is just you and the screen. I definitely like that for the yoga. I am still learning all of the moves, so a couple of them still need work lol. ***Amenities: There are showers, water fountains, vending machines, towels, shelves for your things, lockers for rent, 24 hour access, and a whole workout section in the back where you can do cross training in addition to the sauna workouts! ***Prices: 59$ a month and when you sign up you pay 100$ which includes your mat and towel, which are very nice and you do need them so that they won't melt in the rooms. There are plenty of promotions throughout the year from what I see, so I think you can sometimes get a deal to sign up, but the price per month is not bad at all for a 24 hour gym that has classes + the infrared sauna aspect! ***Improvements: The only thing I don't like is that I find it hard to watch the screen in front of you when doing the yoga positions and I imagine it is the same for pilates, etc. But it isn't a huge deal if you go regularly, once you have the routine down, you won't need to really look to see how they are doing it, you can just listen. I do definitely like to book times when no one else is there though, to be sure at least for the yoga that I am in my own room!

I found out that they have aqua rowers and I couldn't wait to try them since I love rowing. The dual handles really provide more range of motion options for working out your arms. I loved it. I look forward to coming back and trying more classes.

There's a cubby to store your belongings and shoes before heading inside the studio. So far I've taken the classic with Courtney and the define class with Lori. The classic class is a more traditional barre class focusing on those movements while the define class focuses more on building strength and uses dumbbells. Both instructors are great since they make sure your form is correct and spend time demonstrating the exercises. I've taken barre before at Lifetime, but I've really been liking the formats here much more. If you are new, make sure to stick closer to the front so you can see yourself in the mirror. Also, don't forget to bring your water bottle, towel and grippy socks!

The young lady at the check in desk was very sweet. They have lockers positioned in the front, which is convenient for you to put your things in there. They sell water and energy drinks if needed. The studio is very clean and very well kept as well. Amanda was my instructor and what a joy she was. I was very nervous as it was my first time taking a Pilates class. Not to mention , I signed up (unbeknownst to me at the time) one of the harder classes. I thought to myself, yikes! Maybe I should come back to a beginner's level class. But Amanda was so encouraging, and informed me I could modify some movements, and she mentioned that she would position me near some folks who are pretty seasoned and would be able to help if I needed some guidance. I didn't know exactly what I was expecting, but that class kicked every ounce of my butt, but in the same breath, I will also say it's probably the best workout I have ever done. I worked parts of my body that I didn't even know existed lol! There were so many moments throughout the class that I thought to myself... Can I make it through? But Amanda was right there cheering me on and motivating me every moment of the way. This definitely exceeded my expectations for a first time Pilates experience. As difficult as the workout was for me... I made it through :) and since I was so proud that I did, I booked myself another class next week. I have to give another kudos to Amanda, I think having the right instructor when it comes to any workout class, plays a big part on your ability to push yourself through.

Over the past week, the additional classes I took had the same great & some intense Instructors with the same objective of pushing you to finish strong. One Instructor had me say a few choice words to myself after class, yet all with love & light. & only after the next day of recovery - LOL. The encouraging emails after your class simply rock...or should I say glide? I give myself a B- for showing up & returning with no shame in taking breaks during class to recalibrate my lower back/core, hence why I'm here. Agreed that the membership prices are a little steep. However, the 2 Week Unlimited offer is the right opportunity to learn a new fitness regime & boost your overall health before making any commitments. Regardless of which Instructor is at the front desk everyone is welcoming & engaging while motivating you not to walk out the door - *smile*. Very good client service across the "Sweatlana" board.
