I absolutely love love love Maile and all the wonderful instructors at this studio! It's such an uplifting and empowering community. I started my journey almost two years ago (will be come May 2026) and have loved it ever since :) I went from weight lifting every day to now PB all day everyday. It's kept me in such great shape and even now in my last trimester of pregnancy, I'm still going strong!!! read more

ANOTHER UPDATE: The studio basically reached out to Wellhub who sent me a policy. It didn't rectify anything or improve my horrible experience in any way, shape, or form. I still have vivid imagery of the instructor rudely saying I'm too late and shutting the door in my face. And calling various Googled numbers in the parking lot despite them saying they don't have a record of it. So I'm not sure what they are doing exactly to resolve the situation. UPDATE: They had the audacity to ask me to retract my Yelp review after sharing some random policy they should have shared with me beforehand. pure barre has been a dying institution for years now (which is why I'm guessing there were 18 slots left when I signed up the night before and why they're trying to fill slots). The passive aggressive attitude of the instructor and poor management response really doesn't help that. I don't recommend anyone go here especially when barre3, la barre, and barre method are all right there. Came for a 6:30am class and no one picked up when I tried to ask for directions. Difficult location to find and instructor turned me away. Definitely don't recommend! read more

Pure Barre - Trying to get me to retract my Yelp review :( - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Fun workouts. Great customer service. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new way to stay fit. I have to go to Pure barre for work and let me tell you this location makes it so easy. They have their online system that allows you to book a class which is so convenient but they also call and follow up and email to make sure that you were getting the class that's right for you. There are different classes with different difficulty levels and accommodations and variations for all body types. There is Wade's bar. It's a really fun way to stay in shape and it just feels so intuitive for anyone who used to do dance or does dance currently. Even if you've never done dance before I recommend just getting used to some of these movements it's just such a beautiful way to work out. Jasmine called me immediately and was lovely and accommodating. I was so happy with the customer service. I highly recommend. read more

4 years later, Pure Barre is still the most consistent workout in my life! It's great for body maintenance and always challenging. I appreciate how many classes and class times are available, as I used to be an evening class lover and have switched to early morning due to my work schedule (thanks Maile, Lauren, and Anna, for teaching so early!). I'm excited that Reform is back on the schedule, as it is my favorite format: slow burn is the best! To be honest, every format on the Pure Barre Los Gatos schedule benefits me in some way, even if I like some better than others. The environment is very warm and welcoming, from the front desk to the instructors to the fellow students, although the classes are fast paced - come early and ready to learn, and you'll be fine at any level of fitness! Maile, the owner, is super responsive and does her best to answer all your questions before or after class. read more

Wow! First time coming to Pure Barre in Los Gatos! Quite a drive from the east of San Jose. I took their fusion class and it was super challenging for me! I've only done barre twice before and those were more of beginner/intermediate classes. I decided to challenge myself and test my limits. I did take some breaks here and there and even modified some of the moves if I'm being honest. I do like to feel sore the next couple of days each time I do a class whether it's this or pilates/hot yoga. The instructor today - Nicole was super nice. She helped me fixed my form a couple times throughout class too. She wasn't lying when she said her class is fast paced! I was drenched in sweat and kept pushing through it all. I think it's super worth it in the end and that you keep chasing the goal. Front desk receptionist - Anna (I believe that's her name?) is super sweet as well. She's from the same area as me too haha. She checked me in super smoothly, informed me of the policies, and even helped set up the class for me! Btw, all classes are required for you to have grippy socks for safety reasons. read more

Pure Barre - Outside! You go down the stairs to find the studio. - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I just returned from my first and last visit ever to PureBarre Los Gatos. I was trying their class as part of ClassPass and being new to ClassPass, I wasn't sure how everything worked. Unlike other studios where I've booked, PureBarre communicates through email and promptly inundated me with three emails in a row. I read the first one, but unfortunately not the next two, as I figured it was more of the same. So I didn't catch that I needed socks to do the class. I've been doing barre class for years and have never worn socks, so it didn't occur to me to bring them, but I guess it's my bad for not reading all three emails. However, where things really went wrong is that they only told me about the socks policy right when class was about to start, after I had sat in their lobby for 20 minutes clearly not wearing socks. At that point, I asked if I could have my husband come down with a pair, arriving perhaps 5 minutes after class starts. Then came another firm policy of no late starts. So I was left with no options but to forfeit the class and lose my ClassPass credits. Even when I spoke to the owner, she would not budge. She claimed it was for my safety, indicating that I would not be safe doing the warm-up without socks and it would not be safe not to do the warm-up. However, when I saw the warm-up, they were lying on their backs, so clearly socks were not needed! I have tried several studios in Los Gatos, and they are all packed. The two classes I witnessed in this studio had just a handful of people, and now I understand why. Unless you like mostly empty classes and uncompromising policies, I would not recommend PureBarre. read more

500 classes in, I still love Pure Barre. It is a great combination of strength training (abs, thighs, glutes, arms), but also stretch, flexibility and balance. I have tried a lot of different similar workouts, but Pure Barre is the best. The studio is very clean, natural lighting, sweet staff are wonderful - the teachers are the best part! Very efficient - done in 45 minutes. I always feel better after class, than I did when I arrived. I've suffered with back pain and various sports injuries over the years, from bad form or worse - never once with Pure Barre - it prevents injuries by strengthening muscles in a very functional way. Hope to see you at the barre soon! read more

I took a barre stretching class today and appreciated it a lot. I went there after a gym workout and was looking forward to stretching out my tired body. It was a recovery class and turned out to be a mini workout as well. Beautiful facility and the instructor was awesome. Note that the location is hard to find and there is no signage. You have to go down the steps into the basement next to Sephora. read more

Confirming that PBLG remains my favorite place to work out, years later! The classes are hard, the teachers are dedicated, the owner bends over backwards to be accommodating, and the studio is always warm, welcoming, and clean. Love the vibe, love the community, and love the good cheer! read more

I was invited to take their free Foundations class a while ago. I then signed up for a trial membership but the commute and lack of parking for the studio became an issue and as you can see from the few negative reviews, their late policy is VERY strict. After two instances of feeling totally shamed for being late by 10 mins one time and under 10 mins the second time, with the first time the owner giving me a death glare and the second time the instructor literally physically blocking me from entering the class even though the front desk person cleared me, I felt so bad from the experience that I never went back. So if you don't live super close and think you will have any issues with parking or timeliness (especially if you're a MOM managing LOs), I don't think this studio is a good fit. I have found an incredible local barre studio with a very welcoming community that is generous with their late policy and has never made me feel totally shamed the way Pure Barre did. read more

I signed up for the free intro class because I wanted to try out barre for the first time. I drove 30 minute in the rain with traffic only for the studio to be closed? I double checked my confirmation and everything to make sure I didn't get the time wrong or the class was cancelled and I missed it. I even got a reminder email just a few hours ago. I'm very confused and annoyed that I drove all the way to Los Gatos to be met with closed studio. Even if this was a free class, gas and time is a valuable resource for everyone. Very disappointed. read more

I absolutely love Pure Barre Los Gatos. After I took my first class years ago, I was immediately hooked on the fun, challenging, never boring classes in a welcoming and clean studio taught by high caliber instructors each with their own unique personality and style. What I wasn't expecting from a work-out studio was the sense of community I find there with a diverse group of people that is truly all inclusive. This is a testament to the tremendous job Maile, the owner, has done to not only nurture that sense of community in studio, but also in the broader sense by offering donation classes and events supporting women, minority-owned businesses, and charitable groups. I base my review on the over 700 classes I have taken and encourage anyone considering Pure Bare to give it a try and get ready to be amazed by what it can offer you. read more

Something that I liked: - they warned me about their strict on-time policy in advance - the instructor approached me before the class to explain some of the movements as I was new to barre - the class was HARD, which is what I wanted It is definitely worth it if you're up for a challenge. Beware of the lack of parking nearby. read more

I just recently took up barre after trying a couple of different forms of intro classes and have been super satisfied with my experiences thus far. The 50 minute Foundations class provided a great run through of what to expect. Maile went into great detail of how to do the exercises and really helped everyone individually with their form, which I appreciated since we are all doing these movements for the first time. The environment she created made me comfortable and I felt like it really was a judgement free zone. I highly recommend taking a class here. Helpful hint: try to arrive with enough time to find parking! Being as it is Los Gatos and there are many restaurants and other places around, the parking lot can get full. However, there is an underground garage across the street that always has parking. read more

I love Pure Barre Los Gatos! I have tried different barre places but never truly enjoyed the classes until I started at Pure Barre. Everyone is so friendly! The teachers are so encouraging during the session, even calling out your name to keep you motivated (especially when you think you can't plank any longer). Even though I only come once a week, the front desk and the teachers always seem to know my name. The classes are fun and I look forward to every session. The owner is a wonderful, responsive and thoughtful. read more

Being waiting nearby Los Gatos to avoid rush hour and finally drove there for class, no parking spots found nearby so I drove around for a street parking. Therefore, I was 5 MIN late for the class, and was refused admission into the class because "you missed warm up, so wouldn't get the best result out of it". I suggested to attend the next class after 1 hour (that way I wouldn't miss the warm up), but the reception girl refused again because she couldn't find the button to operate like that.. How comes a business is so inflexible even though people drove in rush hour in a rainy day for a class without a parking spot? fine fine fine. They just wouldn't consider for your case AT ALL! Probably because I'm not pushing enough and argue for myself, or I'm young asian so they just easily turned me down, with even not a response when I said "thank you/bye". Then I left with super disappointment, decided not to come back again. Let me know if you could really insist on your 5min late policy on everyone else!? Oh, even worse that I can't get my money back since I book through ClassPass read more

Barre is not the most intense workout but good option for people starting to workout/wanting a lighter workout. The instructors at Pure Barre are kind and engaging and I've had a great experience overall. The timings of classes are a bit tough with a working schedule so I wish they had more time options. read more

Pure Barre Los Gatos has been my home since 2014. It's my place to de-stress and work on my physical and mental health. Maile, the owner, has been one of the most supportive and encouraging people I've ever met. She hand selected the most caring staff from the front desk (barre-tenders) to the instructors. Come here if you want to be a part of a welcoming community made of diverse people. Bonus: You'll sweat a ton, and leave with GLUTES. IYKYK. read more

I am so thankful for this group of strong and supportive women. They work you hard and support you hard:). The owner is amazing. She cares for all her "pure barre" Family and organizes many educational and charitable events at the studio. Such a great place for your body and soul! read more

Took the Classic(50min) Pure Barre Los Gatos class on a whim this Tuesday night because I saw the owner Maile's name listed as the instructor. I later happily found out she's the owner! This class was exactly what I needed to reinvigorate my enjoyment of working out/workout classes after over a year and a half hiatus. Maile's class was both motivating and informative as she took us through the various motions and exercises. Her attention to her class goers was much appreciated as the woman next to me and myself were new to the studio and it had been a while since I had taken a barre class. I also heard her provide modifications for class goers that had injuries or a bad knee so that they can get the best workout without compromising their form. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and will be returning for more barre workouts! The storefront had cute barre apparel and merchandise as well! The facility and exercise equipment all seemed really clean and new. I didn't have the chance to check if there was a restroom facility but I imagine with the shopping plaza there then bathroom accommodations shouldn't be an issue. One thing to note about location is that it's under the Sephora just down a short stairway so could be easy to miss if you don't read ahead on Yelp or ClassPass for directions and additional information. Socks are required but grippy/barre socks are strongly recommended. If you're a first timer, there's barre socks there in the storefront for purchase and the total for a pair comes out to just under $20(standard for any studio). read more

We did a private Barre class for my sister's bachelorette and Maile really went above and beyond for our group. She had decorations up in the studio and refreshments for after, which I was not expecting, but was pleasantly surprised by. She also incorporated some songs into class that my sister had requested prior to the class. It was a great workout and we were all sore the next day. We all loved the private Barre-ty and I know that many of us who attended will be back for more classes soon. Thank you Maile for an amazing experience! read more

Meh workout. I went to a class on Sunday, hoping to get a nice workout in and I left a little disappointed. I've been to other pure barre classes and found them to be quite engaging and intense. Most of the time I will feel my muscles shake at certain points during the workout. This was not the case this time around. I felt myself not particularly challenged, a little bored (kept checking the time), and lost during most of the class. The instructor would sometimes show us the moves but a lot of times would only give oral instructions so I noticed that a few people in the class (including me) were lost during the class and not knowing which exercises to do. I don't know if this was an issue with location or just the instructor but I recommend going to other pure barre locations if you are wanting to try out this method of working out. read more

I don't normally post reviews, but I'm deeply disturbed by Susie J.'s 11/15/23 unfair review and wanted to share my experience as a client of 13 1/2 years and nearly 2800 classes. I absolutely love everything about Pure Barre - challenging classes with a nice variety of choreography and class formats, great music, excellent motivating instructors, kind and helpful desk staff. And the extra magic is the studio's amazingly supportive and inclusive community. Maile has been the studio owner for the past four years and an instructor for nearly eight years prior - she pours her heart and soul into the studio and all of us are so thankful for all that she does each and every day - she got us through COVID with virtual and outdoor classes (and even purchased special standalone bars to give us the best experience possible outside), hosts donation classes and matches every dollar donated by clients, supports women and minority-owned businesses with pop-up events and in studio retail. I could go on and on! So when I see someone post an extremely unfair negative review because they were late for class and unable to attend based on a policy they were made well aware of in advance (and even go to the extreme of suggesting racism), I can't remain silent. I've tried other exercise studios, and nothing compares to the quality and community of Los Gatos Pure Barre - happy client for life! read more

It's a very good overall workout. You will definitely feel the burn. Their special for newbies- $100 unlimited for 30 days is a great deal. I agree, the studio is a bit awkward with those two poles, and it can be difficult to see what the instructor is doing. I wish that the instructors would correct form and positions more often. IMO, barre workouts are all about the correct positions, if you do the whole class in wrong positions you won't get the best results. The exercises are always the same, very little variation, i.e. no pretzel, no changing up the seat or arm work. read more

I can see myself really liking Pure Barre if I continue to do it, but after one class it is part satisfying and part confusing. Here's why: What exactly is Pure Barre? It is not pilates and it is not ballet or dance-related even. It is isometric exercise with many repeated smaller movements meant to work out a particular part of your body (lower abs, upper thighs, etc). You will not really sweat but you will shake! What did I like? The workout approach allows you to develop long and lean muscles without putting pressure on your joints. What did I not like? This was my first PB class and I said I left feeling part confused because the movements are all small and internal, that it is hard to know without practice exactly how your body should be to target the worked out areas appropriately. My instructor for the day Sarah came near me several times to help me with my form however. Pretty sweet workout class to tone and shape your body without bulking it...I would def come back. read more

What Pure Barre has done for me: I could tell that although the numbers on the scale weren't moving up or down, my body composition changed, my clothes fit better and my stomach was tighter (all of those tucks, I suppose!), even though I haven't seen a drop in my weight I'm going to guess that some of that fat converted to muscle :) I noticed that I dropped a dress size in only a few classes. The workout really tightens up everything nicely. I hadn't even done 10 classes! It could also be that I've added pure barre on top of my softball exercises. I think this varies and how much hard work you really put into the 50 minutes you do pure barre. The technique: *you don't have to be a dancer or especially coordinated to do pure barre! trust me, I am known for tripping everywhere and I can do this!* Challenging because my problem with exercise sessions prior to trying these classes is it's boring and if it is challenging, I don't find it interesting. I like how each instructor has their twist on it. Instructors: (I haven't had the opportunity to take it with all of the instructors yet) Amy is high energy and she will really get you moving! I took her once for a 7am. She challenged every fiber of my body! Megan is really friendly and I learned some new exercises from her. Athena is friendly and very encouraging. Kelsey was perfect to take when I first wasn't used to the technique. She makes you feel comfortable, she'll correct your form in a gentle way and she plays the best music! The environment: Mostly I am addicted to the therapeutic sessions. I also feel I'm more confident in my physical abilities. I like that it's mostly women as I feel much more comfortable in that environment especially with all the snug work out wear! You kinda have to wear those yoga pants to be really flexible during work outs. Tips: Right now you can purchase 5 classes for 85.00 which expires on 8/31/14. That puts it at 17.00 each (some barre studios I've seen make you opt into a contract or force monthly plans, I like that this studio lets you pick. There's a lot of payment options- per class, per 5, per 15, etc. Also I would take the Breaking Down the Barre (15.00). I had to take that one at Palo Alto but it was worth it to get down more of the form in a slower pace forum. read more

The place to get your tuck on. I like this studio located in downtown Los Gatos. It was a bit confusing to find at first, but it's in the plaza on the lower level under the big California Cafe sign. There are changing rooms and bathrooms outside which you can grab the key for. The workout room is spacious. I can see how the pillars/poles in the room can get in the way if the class is crowded, but I haven't had any problems with that. Pure barre is a great workout. You don't sweat too much, but you can definitely feel the burn as you tone your whole body (core, gluts, arms and thighs). Find your shake zone! read more

I really like this exercise method a lot, but I do not like this place. There are other 'Bar'-style places that offer much better customer service and overall experience/environment. The workout kicks my butt, and I really see results from the small movements that work arms, legs, butt and abs -- I have greater overall strength and toning. But, like I said, I'd rather get this same work out at one of the other studios. Other people who have reviewed here have had similar observations and experiences: The space has a bad layout that is awkward for seeing the instructor. The music is way too loud for this style of exercise (yes, the tempo is helpful, but the loudness is unnecessary). The instructors don't make any effort to say hi and offer very little alignment-assistance. In general the staff are unfriendly or indifferent. There is no bathroom, nor anyplace to refill a water bottle (you can buy a plastic bottle). For the same amount of money, I checked out a similar 'Bar' style class is Palo Alto near where I work... and it's like night and day: friendly, helpful staff, nice locker rooms, showers, free filtered water, even a friendly postcard from the teacher after my first visit. Not that I expect all that from this place... but for $22 a class, I expect a smile and hello. I'll go out of my way to go somewhere else. read more

I went to Pure Barre and Dailey method because I bought the living social deals for each studio. 1) I agree with Rachel P the layout of the studio (pillars in the middle of the room) makes it very difficult to observe the instructor. Dailey method has a clean layout for their studio where observing the instructor and yourself is not a strain on the neck. 2) Most importantly, Dailey method lends you a sock on your first day at their studio and reminds you to bring one to the next classes but Pure Barre forces students to buy a pair for $14. (great way to put off a customer on their first day). Keep it up! It is a great penny wise pound foolish practice you can earn $14 but not a repeat customer or word of mouth publicity. 3) The instructor was very nervous because she kept increasing the volume of the music . I think she does not realize that the acoustic in the studio does not allow the students to hear her instructions (whatever little that she gives) over the loud music. . If I remember correctly I came to the studio for the exercise instruction not for music. The acoustic in Dailey method is good and the instructors there are very conscious about keeping the music volume lower than their voice. 4) I completely agree with Roxanna A the instructor did not provide clear instructions and rarely corrected us. Every student was doing their own thing or what they thought they heard her say. At Dailey method because of the small class size every student gets personalized attention. I also believe that for these kind of class which involve micro movement the instructor must be experienced and must be able to give clear instruction and not shy away from correcting every student. (Lets not forget this an expensive class $22/class. It is not some gold's gym group exercise class where I should be OK with poor instructors). In summary, if you can afford to pay $200/month for either Pure Barre or Dailey Method. I would recommend paying it to Dailey method. Both studios offer the same type of exercises. Dailey method provides you a better exercise and experience. I have to still suffer through three more classes at Pure Barre before I exhaust the deal :( read more

I have recently switched to going to Pure Barre rather than Bar Method for several reasons, mostly location to my home and job, the convenience of access to 2 locations, and I was getting tired of Bar. My body needed more of a challenge. I really like certain parts of Pure Barre, particularly in that my heart rate is much higher (I burn about 100 more calories in a class than Bar Method), and we do a lot more ab, arm, and thigh work (longer sets, more sets, and tougher exercises). The studio is clean, but it can get warm. I sweat a ton in class, and I did not sweat much in Bar Method. I have to have water with me to get through class. I would say what I do not like is that there are some great instructors, and some that are just OK. Some acknowledge you by name, correct your form, and cheer you on. Others do not. It would be nice to have some more consistency with instructors. The one thing I have noticed from the other Pure Barre locations I have been to is that the music is way too loud. It is so hard to hear the instructors. I would be totally lost if I have not spent 3 years doing Bar Method 4-5 days a week. I have watched people come to their first class and they are totally lost, and continue to be lost because they just cannot hear what is being said. I am definitely a fan despite some of these small glitches. it provides me with the mental change and challenge I needed, and will keep me doing a bar type class as it is far more convenient to where I live. read more

I went to a couple of classes after buying a Living Social deal for 4 and I just can't bring myself to finish the classes. The workout consists of mostly isometric holds of body parts in this distribution: 55% abs, 35% glutes/legs, 10% everything else. The bar work was not that enjoyable especially since you stand on one leg for a super long time and my back was not happy by the end. A lot of the postures feel awkward, probably because they emphasize the tucked position, although I think it's overdone compared to ballet dancing posture. After an hour of ab torture, I really didn't feel it at all the next day. I get a way more effective ab workout just doing stability ball exercises for 30 minutes. They play super loud high energy music to keep you motivated (I guess?) but it just serves to drown out the instructor so as a noob, it's impossible to hear what she's saying. The two instructors that I experienced were not very friendly and never cracked a smile the entire hour. The front desk girl was also stoic when I was checking in and such. This workout felt very gimicky with the bar and the cute logo balls. That being said, if you've never lifted a weight in your life and like cardio machines, this could be a challenging workout for you to build up your base. It was just not for me. read more

I bought the new member promo pkg for $100 last week. I have already been 7 times! To cut to the chase, I love Pure Barre Los Gatos to the point of addiction. The location is a little hidden underneath the California Cafe in Los Gatos, but gives it a bit of a fun secret club feeling once you find it. As soon as I walked in I was impressed with the clean/modern/charming feel to the studio. Watch out because they sell Lululemon clothing, which can be dangerous. The actual exercise routine is a great mix of isometrics and stretching. Essentially you will be working your core such as in pilates, but with the atmosphere of a dance studio. Note: you do not need any experience in either pilates or dance to get started. The instructors are great and will guide you through the class. I could never really get into yoga, and think it is a little late for me to begin my career as a dancer. I have been looking for a workout that I could call my own, and I think I found it in Pure Barre. The icing on the cake? GREAT music that will keep you motivated through the workout. Only downside... after your first time member special the price goes way up at $225 for a month unlimited, which is a bit painful... sigh. Weird note: wear short socks to class. They sell special black Pure Barre socks but that comes at a price too ($18)... so I just stick to my dollar Target socks. :) read more

Pure Barre is great for people at all fitness levels. It focuses on small repetitive movements to tone your thighs, arms, butt, and abs. It's definitely do-able for people who don't regularly exercise (like myself). For those who are already fit, each class works on toning and strengthening those target areas. The instructors also periodically introduce alternate movements that tailor to more advanced levels. Pure Barre is pricey but if you can keep up with it and go a few times a week, it's completely worth it. Plus, you'll feel great afterwards :) Note: This location might be difficult to find since it's on the lower level of the plaza. There are stairs in front of California Cafe which lead downstairs to the studio. read more

So, being as lazy as I am, I hate the gym. I feel that I can't be productive in an efficient way to get back in shape. So my friend recommended Pure Barre :) It's located in downtown Los Gatos and underground (lower level) but the location is right off 17S and 9N...sooo not too bad for those of you who live nearby. I drive from Los Altos...so it's far. The staff is kind. The teachers (I have had classes with Becky, Brendy & Emily-the owner) are very attentative and help you when needed. They always motivate you by saying it is your hour. You choose how much you want to put in. They endorse that you get exactly what you put in. So now that I have instruction and a nice environment, I'm hooked and I went 3 times this week. I'm sorry I couldn't use the unlimited to it's full advantage since it ends in a week (but college kicks my butt as much as pure barre & school always comes first). Don't be alarmed that at your first class you will be intimidated. Don't worry. Eventually you will get used to how the exercises work and you will be able to keep up and challenge yourself as you progress :) The facilities are nice, they don't offer a childcare area unlike the Dailey Method but it's still nice here :) it's very spacious and has MANY, MANY mirrors. More than the Dailey Method, which is an awesome plus because even though there's lots of people in the class, you always have mirror space! But regardless I love both of these places...I just love PB more because I feel the workouts are more intensive in my opinion...though I wouldnt be sad if I were to only go to one place, I find them to both have great barre workout classes =] The parking is good in the morning but is a little more cramped at night. But there is plenty in the center and down the street and of street..so you're good :) In any case I love pure barre. I thank them so much for helping me get in shape and giving me a reason to enjoy working out :) I would continue to go after my unlimited (all new ppl should get this!!! It'll be worth it. Just work thru your pain like I did because the results do show!) but the drive is a lot for me. I drive about 20 miles to go there...although I am switching over to the Dailey method which is closer, I do plan to pop into pure barre with my friend from time to time :) This place is awesome. Try it! You won't regret. Just focus on what you want and what you are willing to put in and it will reciprocate in results :) Good luck! Have fun! Tone. Lift. Burn. Pure Barre. :) read more

Just celebrated my first year at Pure Barre in Los Gatos. Pure Barre technique is a great workout. I dropped two pant sizes. I hadn't been a size four since I was in college...which was quite awhile ago. The exercises are intense, which causes me to really mentally prepare for each class. I really enjoy the instruction, although at times I wish there was better correction and demonstration of how to do some of the exercises properly. Also there are times that we get off beat. I do enjoy going and as summer is on the horizon, I am looking forward to what my body will look like!! read more

I did the group on with my pal and we are both fans. I can say that the first time I went, I thought I would die, it was so challenging, but by the second class, I felt more comfortable. I think that I could use more correction and demonstration of how to do some of the exercises properly. Some of the exercises didn't feel like I was doing anything, while others I could really tell what was happening. While it is too expensive to do on a long term basis, I will enjoy the rest of my group on passes. read more

I have been going to Pure Barre for almost a year now and absolutely love it. It's a workout I have never experienced before. It's an intense workout that focuses on your core, arms, thighs and seat. I am not a usual Yelper but I had to let it be known what a great workout this is. The studio is great, the teachers are ALL amazing and they offer great times for classes. I have to totally disagree with TB's review on Pure Barre. The sock rule is to keep your body temperature warm while doing the exercises and for cleanliness of the studio, so I'll pay the $13 for socks or just bring some from home!! I love the music...It pumps you up for the workout. I always feel so great after!!! As PB says....LIFT TONE BURN!!! read more

I've done both Dailey Method and Pure Barre and I am also a trained dancer. Having said all that I can confidently say that when speaking in terms of difficulty, Pure Barre will certainly make you sweat. First, I thought I might be late for class because I didn't realize it was underground (it is) and when I did get there, I could hardly climb the stairs on my way out. Butt. Thoroughly. kicked. My Teacher was Krista, and she is helpful and motivating, even at 6 a.m!!!! Don't get me wrong, Dailey Method is a workout also, but when it comes to my bottom line (and pants size) Pure barre seems to be more bang for your buck (And butt!) read more

I bought a groupon promotion for pure barre for two classes. I could see the implementation of pilates and yoga but felt the ballet was limited to essentially first foot position. Regardless, this is a great and fun workout. By the end my muscles were shaking and aching, and the class went by quickly. I would think this would definitely get you in shape in a fun way. It uses weights, a small ball, a mat and of course the barre. Room shape is a bit awkward with the poles, instructors are friendly and helpful. The place has it's own parking lot as well. read more

This is my favorite work out right now. I have tried the Pure Barre Palo Alto and SF (Marina) locations and The Dailey Method in Los Gatos. Pure Barre Los Gatos is my favorite of all these locations. No other location has the variety of instructors that all consistently make me drip in sweat in every class. The instructors here have the best ab work outs BY FAR. All Pure Barre's I have been to have solid thigh and seat work outs but I am telling you, this is the place to work out your abs. I haven't gotten all their names straight yet but the instructors in the afternoon/early evening (545pm) classes are the bomb. Also, the staff is really friendly. The check in process is very easy and streamlined, (pay ahead of time online or grab a spot in person if you can, and sign in). They always have a girl behind the counter in case you need socks or a water bottle or have questions. The location is great, come a few minutes early to get a good parking spot. Worth every penny in my opinion! Even my personal trainer was impressed with my increased core strength since I have started Pure Barre. My only suggestion to Pure Barre Los Gatos would be to put a 6am class on the schedule for those of us who want to squeeze in their workout before the work day. I unfortunately have to go to other studios for that time slot and totally wish Pure Barre LG had availability at 6am. These classes are totally my happy place right now!! read more
