I have been attending Pure Barre classes for a couple of months now. The instructors are engaging, the classes are a reasonable size, and they do have a limit as to the number of students per class. There are a variety of classes focusing on varying definitions, i.e. strength training, pilates, yoga, ballet, aerobics. After only a short period of time I can definitely see a difference. I have finally found what I have been looking for. I take a variety of classes for an overall workout and will definitely stick with it. read more

I have been a member at Pure Barre for ver a year now and I love it. I also recently became a Pure Barre instructor, the community is so motivating and positive. read more

I have never come to the class even once. Only mistake that I made was signed up. Please look the dates how hard they try to steal from you every other day. I want y'all to be aware of this awful business. DO NOT GIVE YOUR CARD NUMBERS TO WRONG PEOPLE!! read more

Signed up for a noon class on Friday for the first time. There was traffic on the way and the parking lot was busy so it took a while to find a parking spot. By the time I found a spot it was 1203pm. They said it was too late since class started at noon sharp. Fine, so I asked if they would mark me present so I don't get charged a no show fee and I did show. They said NO because it was corporate policy and she was unable to adjust for me. Super annoyed that pure barre is not flexible. Many other studios are flexible and understanding and will work with its clients. It's 2023, life happens. Def NOT going back, will take my business elsewhere! read more

Best exercise experience I've had in long time! And here's my experience... Where to find it: The sign is not up near the streets yet, but YES they are in that shopping center behind Carrabbas. It is next to ORANGE LUNCH BOX. What to wear: Yoga/Pilates clothes (tights and tank) & make sure you have a pair of SOCKS! What to bring: Yourself, socks, bottle of water, and a towel if you sweat easily. What to do when you walk in: If you are new, then you will fill out a form and choose your membership or you can just pay for a single class. I would recommend getting the new client special because you will want to take advantage of the price and you will definitely want to come back for more! After that, you will walk in with your socks on and place your things in the cubbies. You will then get all your equipment (ball, weights, band) and take a seat and stretch if you would like while you wait until class starts. What to do when class starts: Work your butt off and let everything BURRRRRNNNNN! It will be worth it so try your best to not fall out of it. I had Jocelyn Thomas as my instructor and she was wonderful. She knew that it was my first time so she gave me a pep talk prior to starting. She also helped me with my form and gave my advice. I definitely felt like the class was possible and it was a good burn. My legs were shaking, but I knew it was going to be worth it! Definitely challenge yourself and make it a goal to stay strong throughout the class. I am definitely a huge fan already after my first class. I am looking forward to this new challenge and the results of my body. Give it a try and take on that challenge! read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Houston, Texas

Honestly the best workout of my life. I am no longer able to workout here because their hours don't comply with my schedule anymore. I get out of work at 6:30, and usually their last class is at 7pm, 5:30 on Fridays, 2PM on weekends and although they offer a class at 5:30AM I usually can take it because I have to be at work by 8, and they don't really have a "locker room" restroom. Add to that list that I'm getting married in September, so I'm currently taking a break. With that being said... I miss it so much! After only 3 consecutive workouts, the instructors and barre-tenders start recognizing you by name and they always make it a point to say bye to you on your way out as well. I took a break after my 100th class, roughly 4 months of attendance. No class was the same, and it seemed that every month the exercises were COMPLETELY different. All of the instructors were really great at pointing out how I could perfect my form and you don't even feel the hour go by! By the 100th class I was still sore & challenged, but my muscles were so much leaner, my waist smaller and my arms stronger. Although I am not going anymore, I made great friends whom I still keep in contact with. I even do some workouts on my own that I learned and my butt, arms, legs, and abs are still looking great! Biggest tip I can give to anyone is to come eager to learn and not be afraid to ask questions! When my schedule is less hectic, you will definitely see me at the barre! read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Houston, Texas

Barre is my preferred method of work out class, but Pure Barre is NOT where I prefer to take those classes. I've taken barre classes for about a year now, but when I moved, I decided I needed to sample the class before committing to this one studio. So I signed up for the free week of classes and after the first class I was so glad I didn't jump the gun and commit. These classes are challenging!!! But that's not the reason why I was turned off. I expected it to be challenging, but I also expected the instructor to give me some sense of direction, and... oh, I don't know... INSTRUCT ME. None of that occurred. I found myself struggling to figure out what movement was occurring. With barre, the movements are so small and controlled that its really impossible to know what to do unless someone tells you. Otherwise, you just see people sucking their stomachs in and out and you copy them, but don't know if you're doing it right. I wish that the instructor was more attentive and accommodating to the varying levels of experience in the group. My instructor seemed more concerned about getting her own workout in, rather than teaching. Her counting and transitions were unclear, despite her effort at timing them along with the rhythm of the beat. If you're a barre newbie, I wouldn't recommend going to this studio. You will be a overwhelmed and a bit lost, and no one will really take much time to help. I can see how this studio would be good for experienced barre-goers, since its a hands off approach, which allows you to really focus and challenge yourself. But for anyone who is just getting into barre, I would steer away from this place. There are many other studios that are much more attentive and can help you develop a solid foundation to the art of barre. read more

Not professional that I expected . This is second time that I've been get into the morning class, but some how it's just not happening. There no third time for me unfortunately. Will cancel my membership read more

One of the hardest lessons learned from being on ClassPass? No two classes are alike. One studio's interpretation of a work-out can be completely different than another studio's - and barre, in all its leg-shaking, thigh-blasting, ass-kicking glory, is no different. Don't get me wrong: I had an AWESOME work-out here. It's been two days, I'm still sore all over, and my oblique's are still crying bloody murder. However, I feel it would've been nice to have some extra attention from the instructor since it was my first time at Pure Barre. They did ask me if I've taken a barre class before, which I have, but every studio does things differently: different pace, different equipment, different ways they USE the equipment, different forms/positions. In that sense, I felt like a complete newbie despite having previous barre experience. I would've appreciated more proactive interaction from the instructor (i.e. showing me/helping me into form right before the class transitioned) instead of the more reactive interaction I was receiving (i.e. the instructor only coming by to CORRECT my form). Because of this, I felt self-conscious and out-of-sync with the class (who were all obviously regulars), in-between passing frequent, panicked "What the hell are we doing?" looks with another newbie across the room. Despite all this, the work-out was still pretty damn effective: you grab a ball, resistance band, 1 set of weights (2lbs recommended for beginners), and find a place in their spacious studio room to set up shop. Expect to move between this space and to the ballet bar against the wall frequently, and you'll finish up with abs after mats are passed around near the end of class. Keep this in mind when you decide what to bring into the studio with you - I'll admit, it got pretty annoying having to move my water bottle back and forth. Barre is a mix of ballet, pilates, and yoga, and it focuses on small, repetitive isometric movements (pulses, clenches, and squeezes) in many of the female body's "problem" areas like abs, legs, and glutes. Pick up those heels, drop that ass low and pulse for a minute, and I promise it won't be long until your body is shaking with sheer exhaustion. But damn, does that burn feel good! The instructor walks around to check forms, but since she also has to demonstrate the positions, expect that you'll mostly be left on your own to figure it all out. This was super frustrating for me, especially since the pace of the class was quick and the class always seemed to transition to a new form the EXACT moment I seemed to get my shit together. Ugh! In the end, despite its fast-paced and not-too-novice-friendly nature, Pure Barre still gave me the strenuous, yet rewarding work-out that I absolutely adore about barre. I'll be back. Here's to hoping that visiting this place a few more times in the future will get me out of that "newbie" funk and get me pulsing like the other pros in class! OTHER QUICK TIPS: + Restroom, changing room, & cubbies available. No sign of showers. + Bring socks! Grip socks are preferred. + Currently the only Pure Barre location eligible for ClassPass-Houston. + Located in a strip center near Whole Foods, so parking is plentiful. read more

I was lucky enough to come by and try this place out since there was one of those 2week deals for $40 I found. I hadn't taken a proper Barre class before, just ones at a yoga studio which I don't think was nearly as regimented. There are definitely some rules to remember, but the girls were are really nice and help out a lot. But make sure to bring socks. I didn't know, but they had some I could borrow. After class, I bought a pair there. And make sure you get there early!! I think barre just isn't for me. Not sure what it was, but I got bored. It was a decent workout, but the a/c seemed counter-intuitive for me. However, I really did like the stretching that was squeezed in between workouts and after class. read more

I was pretty nervous for my first full barre class (I've only been to Shaktibarre in Brooklyn, yoga + barre), but I decided to go on trip back home in Houston via ClassPass. The instructor was extremely welcoming, made sure I knew that I didn't have to do everything everyone else is doing, go at my pace kind of thing. Front desk was also very attentive and made sure I had everything and knew where everything was. A challenging class, and I definitely feel sore! Will be going to more Pure Barre classes. read more

The higher the heels, the thinner the thighs!This is the best barre studio I've ever been to. Isometric movements that work out your whole body. The clients and staff are very welcoming. I came everyday for a month (new client $100 a month) Every time I went, I came out of class sweating like a pig. And those women are stronger than they look. (Start with 2lb weights) The carpet is very nice as well as all of the equipment. It is very clean, organized, and lots of class options. All of the instructors are great. Be prepared to sweat and be challenged. What a workout! Try to buy the 1 month unlimited for $100. I had to stop going because the flood hit and affected my car. I really miss it. Bummer. read more

I wanted to wait a couple weeks after joining Pure Barre to get a good feel for it before writing this review. I joined PB without having any ballet experience and I consider myself fairly in shape. The facility itself is nice. Not alot of space for nonsense stuff but the workout area is spacious. If it's your first time, one of the friendly staff members up front will give you a walkthrough of the facility (mostly to tell you that shoes should be removed before walking in the workout area, restrooms are in the back, and there are bins for you to keep your belongings). Once you're settled in, the teacher will pop by to give you the quick downlow of what to expect during your first class. I have been here 5 times with 5 different instructors. They're all great. They are have a similar routine but each modifies the class slightly to keep your muscles guessing. You need socks for the class. You can borrow or buy them up front if you forgot them. And you can just wear your normal socks. I did for a couple of classes and it wasn't bad at all (if you don't want to spend $12.99 for a pair of socks). Overall I love going to pure barre at Voss. I can understand what the hype is all about now. It is quite a bit of money to join but since it's expensive, it motivates me to go to the classes more. I probably pay less per class here than the $40 I spent at the gym since i would never go. So if you wanna get a jump start on getting healthy for the new year, treat yourself by joining PB. read more

Pure Barre Houston Voss Road is a great place for a high intensity, low impact workout. The staff is so nice and is really willing to help you before, during and after the workout. They have so many options for membership and run specials regularly. Love this studio! read more

The thought that screams in my mind is, "How can a small comfortable room lined with a ballet bar and surrounded by mirrors be the witness to such pain? Good pain that is!" Pure Barre is an excellent workout for all man kind. I have been coming here for nearly 2 1/2 weeks, 6 classes I believe, and I can vouch for their effectiveness. The whole routine is a mix of ballet, Pilates, and yoga. The movements are small but very very effective. I shall not tell a lie, when I first saw this, I doubted it's ability to actually help me get my body into a better shape, but I will tell you, I feel it and I see it! I have lost inches on my hips and thighs, and I am seeing my quad muscle, which had been hiding from me since high school. The low impact and small movements really make your muscles come to life and hate you, but it's so well worth worth it. It is a full body workout. Places hurt that I honestly thought couldn't the first time I workout here. The environment is super relaxed and I never felt out of place or awkward in the classes! One thing I truly appreciate is that the instructors actually pay attention to you and correct your form. Can't tell you how many other workout classes I have attended where you are all discombobulated in form, and the instructor just looks and keeps walking. I love Caitlin! She is a fabulous instructor and will definitely challenge you and push you to give that extra step to feel the true burn. I haven't had the pleasure to assist any other instructors classes, but if they are anything like Caitlin, you can't go wrong! If you are looking for low impact and lean muscle building, check them out: new members can buy a pass for unlimited 30 days of classes for $100 or 4 classes for $40. They also have classes in the evening 5 and 7 and on weekends, so no excuse! Disclosure: if you need to be jumping and hear pumping "Party Rock" kind of music, you may get bored here. So just a warning, but if you are looking for great results, you may not mind it so much. I really look forward to coming here and see how that the moves I couldn't really do for so long the first couple of workouts, now seem so much more easier, but just as effective! read more

Low-impact, great instructors, and you see results in 10 classes! Jocelyn is my favorite instructor, as I've taken the most classes with her. Cara is great if you've had an indulgent week and need an a-- kicking. If you struggle getting up early to exercise like me, Lauren's upbeat personality will help you get through that 6 am class! They all care about your progress. The music keeps you going, and the instructors monitor your form so you make sure you're getting the most out of the exercise. As someone who's never really been a fan of exercise classes, I feel very comfortable here. I definitely push myself, but don't feel on display if I need to briefly come out of a pose. It's not a snobby, competitive environment. All ages, shapes, and sizes go to Pure Barre. Don't wear shorts! You're supposed to keep your legs covered. I feel kind of offended when someone walks in with booty shorts on. It's disrespectful to the class environment, and disruptive. Pure Barre is definitely pricey, but worth it. Once I had been to 10-15 classes, I purchased the Mile High 1 podcast on Pure Barre's website, and was able to follow the fast-paced verbal instruction. The 30 min podcast is a great way to supplement regular class attendance. read more

Very friendly staff and a great workout. I'm still sore and scheduled for another class tomorrow evening.

Pure Barre's classes will make you burn during class and then you'll get to feel the lovely aches days after! All of the instructors are great- they encourage you and correct your form so you get the best results each class. Make sure to arrive early so you get a good spot on the floor as classes are filling up quickly nowadays. After a few classes you won't feel the burn anymore but keep pushing yourself! You will see results :D read more

Okie doke! ...I LOVE PURE BARRE!!! .. Now that I got that out, I can go on. I have taken roughly 15 classes and think I am ready to review pure barre. I never thought that the one inch movements could be so intense! I really enjoy coming, and try to do from 3-4 classes a week per the suggestion of other reviewers and the Pure Barre studio itself. I have seen great changes in the last month and a half. when I first came, I could hardly hold my daughter for 5 minutes (due to a weak back and previous injury.) Thanks to the instructors they were able to help me find modifications that suit me to be able to finish without excruciating pain that is harmful to my health. My first class was so difficult, I dropped my ball , had to run across the room and get it, fell over a couple of times, and you know what, I laughed. And I encourage you to laugh at yourself instead of being embarrassed. Because now I can still look back and laugh. And every everyone in there was where you are. Yes it moves quick, but just keep calm, listen, and look at your teacher. It's hard to tell what everyone is doing, and can make you very confused. Now after a month and a half I can tote my girl around for nearly 40 minutes! I am so grateful to find something that is mindful of joint health! I go to class excited, screaming while I'm in there wondering why I'm there, and leave feeling refreshed and strengthened! I'm addicted, in class I am thinking this is it no more after this! And after I'm thinking, when is the next class!!! As for the instructors, I haven't had a single one I haven't enjoyed! However I have taken the most classes from Ashleigh. I really love her, she has a great attitude, and is so motivating! I also really love Caitlin, she was my instructor for the first class, and was good on correcting me, which I love and it is so discreet. Which I really could care less to be openly corrected honestly. But everyone is so different! I love the respect the have for their clients. Their staff is so friendly and make you feel you have known them for years. Go, do the $99 new client special! You will NOT regret it. Don't use excuses, just go! read more

I would think a brand new business would know that customer service and communication is important. I made the mistake of buying one of the "deals" for one month of classes for $40. Should have just flushed the money as I was never able to use it since no one at pure barre ever responded to my multiple emails or calls. I guess honoring purchases and acquiring new customers isn't a priority. I won't bother with them anymore. I will go to the other Barre style classes in the area such as Define or barre method( they both have outstanding customer service). read more

The instructors at Pure Barre are amazing. I've been a member of a zillion gyms/workout facilities in my life (I move a lot, and I'm oldish), so it takes a lot for me to come back to a place time and time again. PB at Voss is my happy place. read more

I took a class with Jocelyn. While I was filling out my paperwork, she asked me if I was in my first or second trimester. I'm not pregnant. Would never return to that location. read more

I like this studio and drive long to come here, even though there is another closer location....but today I was turned away from a class I booked coz I was 5 mins late....Just 5 mins!!! That's harsh!!! As a working mother, Im always multitasking and understand the value of time but come on...5 mins!! I am a physician and I don't turn my patient away if they are 5 mins late for their appointment. read more
