My mistake, I was running behind. They could have turned me away, but they were extremely nice and took the time to walk me through the new guest paperwork and show me where the weights were. They never made me feel bad for being a little late or for needing to take a breather during my first 60m class. These classes are tough! But the people who work there are a delight.

This is studio is wonderful and welcoming everyday of the week except for Friday when Shay teaches…read more I've been an OT member for 3 + years at multiple different studios. It's been amazing experience until I attended Shay's Tread 50 on Friday. This is not a an OT class this is a bro gym with yelling and what Shay calls his "OG" members. The music is beyond loud with heavy bass and filled with curse words, sex, and songs demeaning women. There is no variety. The tread 50 is the only OT class I have not attended. I had no way of knowing the treads get cards (which weren't set up or given out). Shay never said anything. The screens were off so I couldn't even see what block it is. After about 15- 20 minutes of no instruction, I went to ask the front desk about instructions and asked if the music could change to something not objectifying women. I also made the comment I could have worked at home for free with the same instructions. I was given a card and the desk agent spoke to Shay. Another 10 minutes went by, and I went to ask the front desk if there could be some variety. I've attended a lot of OT, and there typically is some variety. Shay then proceeding to come up to me, while I was working out to tell me off for coming to his class. He made a big deal of telling me Friday nights were his and he runs it differently from every other OT coach and location. He told me off for not asking him about the tread card or instructions. Basically, making it seem like it was my fault for not knowing the rules of "his" gym. He made it out to be my fault for not having been to a Tread 50 or one of his classes before. When I told him I hadn't been to a tread 50, he rolled his eyes. He also chewed me out for talking to the desk agent instead of him (he was preoccupied broing out with the lifters) When I called him out on he put his hand on my elliptical, stopping it, and accused me of using "client privilege" and told me he'll be taking to management about this. He went up in emotion and I felt like he was trying to intimidating me. Shay made it very clear this is his gym on Fridays he runs it his way. I pay for a membership to Orange Theory not Shay's gym. I recommend any other studio or just going to Barre

The front desk folks are lovely, and the teachers are fantastic too. Haven't taken a single class I didn't enjoy! The location is also quite nice; makes it easy to grab a hot drink with a barre buddy before or after class. Hgiggly recommend Pure Barre in general, and especially this location.

Extremely disappointing customer service…read more I read some other reviews on Google after my experience and I totally agree with their assessment. I arrived less than a minute late to a Pure Barre class and was not allowed in. I understood the policy and accepted losing my classpass credit. When I asked at the front desk if the credit would be returned, I was told no, which is ok and then I simply left. A few days later, I noticed a $31 charge for a late cancellation. The problem? I never canceled the class. I called Pure Barre, and they confirmed that the front desk employee had mistakenly marked me as a late cancellation. I explained that I was willing to accept losing the class credit, but I absolutely should not be charged $31 for a class I never canceled. Their response was basically, "Sorry, but we can't fix it." So, to be clear: their employee made the error, they acknowledged the error, and yet I'm still expected to pay for it. Idk and Idc who the money goes to... classpass or PB but it's PB's mistake to incorrectly cancel the class. I understand having strict policies, but there should also be basic accountability when your own staff makes a mistake. I'm also a member at Orangetheory for years, which has strict policies too because of their HIIT classes (way intense than PB), but they manage to balance those policies with reasonable customer service. This experience made me feel like Pure Barre doesn't care about treating customers fairly. Very disappointing and definitely not how I expected a fitness studio to handle a simple mistake. I am obviously never going to this place, especially when there is another barre studio on Teal, in case anyone is looking! Btw they are very accommodating and friendly too!

Emily, Hayden, Sydney, Natalie, and Chelsea made my time especially special there. Never did I expect to make so many friends and be apart of such a strong community in just 6 months.

Let me start by saying that I had previously enjoyed going to The Bar Method for their classes --…read morethey're a great way to stay in shape. That was until the new owner, Lauren Wood, decided to make anyone coming in through ClassPass or Wellhub feel as though they're taking advantage of her by not paying her directly. She emailed to say she planned to leave these platforms and asked me to pay for a membership through her instead. I declined, since I already pay quite a bit for my Wellhub membership, which allows me to attend a variety of classes across different studios. I had booked a class for 9:30 a.m. tomorrow, and at 8:20 p.m. tonight, Lauren canceled it -- because she wanted to "save space" for people who pay her directly. So even though I booked an available class in advance, I was bumped to make room for someone who might pay her a few dollars more. I had a small window to work out tomorrow, and her last-minute cancellation made it impossible for me to find an alternative. Could you even top this kind of horrible customer service? What a joke. Lauren wants to have her cake and eat it too - stay on these platforms to keep the revenue flowing but eject low paying customers from their booked spot if she can fill it with "higher value" clients. Don't worry, Lauren -- I won't be "lowering your standards" by coming back to your studio. I'm so sorry you received such a pittance for my attendance. At this point, I'd rather work out anywhere else. Pure Barre, for example, offers more challenging classes -- and guess what? They're always happy to see me.

Twelve machines. 30 seconds on a machine, 30 seconds recovery time where you move (however you're inclined) to dance music set at 150 beats per minute. Each 30 seconds an electronic voice cues you to "move to the next station." The complete circuit only takes 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes stretch time on their stretch station. A great way to sneak exercise into your day! The median age of members is 55+ and they come in ALL shapes and sizes; very non-intimidating! Curves offers a "coached" experience that helps you set, track, and maintain goals ($60 a month, but covered by most insurances), or you can just join ($44 monthly). The coaches are friendly and helpful to everyone. Curves offers different themed workouts: Jillian Michaels (task-mistress boot camp style), integrated Zumba, etc., but none of that is mandatory and you can always do your own thing whenever you are there. The place is clean, but it is small (in comparison to most gyms), so it took me a little bit to "dance like no one's watching." :-) You can make the experience as social or non-social as you want.
