Pure barre is a good & tough workout. the location is small but it's very straightforward in and out after class. The instructors and front desk are pleasant. read more

Nice spacious clean studio (unlike other Pure Barre locations) Class was fast paced but effective. read more

I have been going to Pure Barre for years and just changed jobs. I love that this location is in walking distance! The instructors are super knowledgeable, friendly, and high-energy. The classes are also super challenging. They have started to get to know be there now and it definitely feels like a neighborhood studio space where you get in a great workout in a supportive environment. What a great way to burn off some stress and stay toned after (or before) a long day at work. read more

1. Are you looking to get beach body ready? 2. Do you want to strengthen your core as well as muscles you've never used? 3. Does the idea of a fun class with a great instructor and music that includes the above two appeal to you? If you answered YES to all 3, then Pure Barre is worth checking out. An independently owned franchise, Pure Barre in FiDi was offering a free class to check out their method. Being a yoga practitioner only in terms of exercise, I decided to check it out. I spoke with Alexis on the phone and she instantly put me in the system allowing me to redeem the free class today at 1 p.m. Just 2 hours before class time! She was very helpful and it was a pleasure to meet her in person. She walked me through which props I needed and what to expect. The entire facility/space was immaculate and I was anxious to get started. FYI, I signed up for the Pure Barre Classic which was accommodating to newbies like me. Once I was settled in the spacious classroom, I met the instructor, Melissa who ran a few terms by me, and then we all got started. Melissa got things pumping and motivated every individual in that class. As this was my very first experience, I fell way behind everyone else and realized I need lots of core/muscle strengthening and reinforcement. Rome was not built in one day and I'm sure over time, everyone can benefit and reap the rewards of the Barre method. I'm still sticking with my yoga but will definitely ease into Pure Barre by taking more classes in the future. It is a total body workout. Consider it high intensity. I think I will treat myself to some chocolate later. I earned it :) Check it out. read more

Pure Barre New York | Financial District - Time to work out---the Pure Barre method - Barre Classes Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Normally a bar method girl but recently have been doing pure barre and have not been disappointed. The workouts are harder than I expected but in a good way. Instructors are nice and welcoming, facility is clean. I will say their workout incorporates more arms/core and less legs, while bar method is more leg and glutes. So, I will continue going to both but a great barre class overall! read more

I overslept and arrived at the studio at 8:41 for an 8:30 class. Totally on me for oversleeping and coming late, but the lady at the front desk would not work with me at all. She said since I'm more than 10 minutes late I couldn't enter the class "because I missed the warm up" first of all who cares? Second of all I'm ONE MINUTE over the cut off time, you can't be a little lenient at all? Then she said there was nothing else she could do. Didn't offer another class time, nothing. Horrible business practice if you ask me. I do not recommend and I will not be returning. read more

I've tried a few Pure Barre locations and Fidi is definitely the most demure. Other Manhattan locations have felt chaotic and disorganized. Their front desk staff are always friendly and helpful, and I'm a big fan of Jordan C's classes. read more

Love this studio! The staff is really great and friendly, and the instructors are very knowledgeable. The locker area is a bit small, but that's only an issue in between classes, and I've never been unable to find a locker. I've done all of the classes and love them all, and will definitely be going back for more. read more

Going on a three year obsession with Pure Barre and this location made me fall even more in love. The workout is really intense and challenging despite the small movements. I still feel it after every class, even after three years. The classic class is a good start if you've never been so you can get the proper form down but the reform class is a favorite of mine (uses sliders and resistance bands). They also have an empower class for you cardio people... The teachers here are super friendly and make a point to learn your name so they can encourage you individually throughout class. This location is really cozy and unique, where some of the other Pure Barre studios in NYC aren't so much. The chandeliers and black and white marble wall is a good touch, and the locker area is tidy and spacious. Highly recommend! read more

I'm an addict!!! I started off with a one week free 'unlimited' trial.... now I just bought the one month unlimited intro package. Venue: (5/5) Conveniently located for me (non-helpful comment). Very clean, newer boutique feel. The studio keeps the classes limited so you do not feel cramped. There are lockers and bathroom to change (no showers). The girls/ladies in the front of the studio are so friendly and completely helpful. There are many yoga/barre/pilates clothes available for purchase. There are tally boards to keep people motivated on # of classes attended. Pure Barre Workout: (5/5). I won't lie the first class I took I was quite lost, but after a few classes you start to get the pattern. Don't underestimate the class...it's a workout! The trainers are helpful and positive, but create a good balance to know where you are in your learning curve. I can see my body tone changing in a couple of weeks, it's a great workout with results. Tips: (1) come with sticky socks or get them there, or you could be me sliding around the carpet during planks (2) 2 pound weights start to get heavier and heavier during class :) (3) the pure barre app is the BEST... I'm pretty addicted to the app itself, it keeps track of my classes and attendance (4) be patient...it gets easier and with better technique it remains challenging Trainers: they are all great, every time I think I have a favorite(s) it changes. read more

I'm actually shocked that this place has such good reviews. Short Version: If you're a beginner, please learn appropriate form somewhere else. You need to learn correct form and should do so at a studio that will take the time to teach it. Long Version: I've taken barre at pretty much every major studio in NYC and definitely have my favorites (if you're interested in this information, feel free to message me). This studio leaves much to be desired re equipment, instructors, and overall experience. The only reason I continue to go is because I bought a ten pack on Gilt City and this studio is in my neighborhood (so when I'm too lazy to travel to a preferred studio, I take class here). Instructors: I've taken several classes with a variety of instructors at this studio. They do not offer many corrections and also move through commands rather quickly, so if you're a beginner who isn't familiar with barre, this would prove difficult. There were many times during class when I saw other students looking around confused, and many had to take cues from those around them when the instructor wasn't demonstrating the position. Basic reminders are also not enforced, which could lead to potential injury (ie when you're in plank, keep you abs tight to protect your lower back). Studio: The studio itself is beautiful - lots of light! However the floors are extremely hard, so when you're in push up or plank position, it's a bit uncomfortable. It's also tough on the knees, so if you have sensitive knees, be careful! They do have mats, however they don't pull them out until the end of class when you do ab work (while other studios typically provide these at the beginning). The last thing is really a preference of mine, but I like studios that provide a stall bar, so you can hang from it before or after class. This lengthens the spin and provides an amazing stretch. Regardless of all this, you will get an OK workout because this is a barre class. Your thighs and glutes will WORK. But learning proper form beforehand can make a world of difference - keep that in mind! read more

I really do like Pure Barre. It's fun and challenging and you get to work on most of your problem areas. After frequenting the classes I definitely became more aware of my posture in everyday life. This is the only studio I've been to and I think the downsides include the dearth of changing rooms (expect to change in the hallway when it's busy), sometimes crowded classes so you don't receive the instructor's attention enough, and definitely insufficient explanation/demonstration of some of the moves so newcomers may find the instructions confusing or hard to follow. However, my biggest pet peeve is that they don't roll out the mats until towards the end of the class, and that means you're expected to do forearm planks (and hold it for 90 seconds) and sometimes poses that aren't good for sensitive knees on the hard carpet. After going to class every day for about two weeks the skin on my elbows started to peel off. Most of the instructors are helpful and try to remember the students' names and will give personal shoutouts during class. There is a set sequence for the classes that are for the most part uniform, though some instructors do switch it up occasionally. Classes are offered from 6am through 8pm on weekdays and there are quite a few to choose from on weekends too (which can't be said of some of the gyms in the area that have practically no classes on weekends). I gave Pure Barre a try using the new client special, but I don't think I'll sign up for membership since it's quite pricey considering the only workout you get is barre, when I can pay less money at a gym or studio that offers all sorts of classes. read more

Pure Barre New York | Financial District - fall challenge - Barre Classes Near Me - New York, New York

I took a Pure Barre class at the FIDi location for the first time using my Classpass. The location was a bit tricky to get to because their entrance isn't exactly 80 Pine Street, I thought it was in the big office building but the security guard told me to go out again and it was on Pearl Street. The studio space was nice and clean, but note that there are no showers here. Only one bathroom, and two spacious changing rooms. I think they could've utilized the space better and made that into three changing rooms instead. The class itself was fast paced for a beginner like me. Even the stretches were a bit fast and I didn't feel I got to fully stretch. I didn't know about the tucking method, so i was a bit lost and just did whatever I felt comfortable with. I made the mistake of standing near the speakers, so the music was too load and I couldn't hear the instructor clearly, even though she used a microphone. I think this is a good class for those who are familiar with barre. But as a first timer, I was totally lost. The instructor was super nice and cheerful. read more

Had my first PureBarre class this morning! I signed up for ClassPass as I just moved to NYC and wanted to try a variety of classes to 1) keep my interest up and 2) because I didn't want to commit to one studio right off the bat. I was a little nervous because I had heard that the class is fast-paced and I have no prior barre experience. The studio was very easy to find - note, as the other reviews stated, the entrance is on Pearl St. Just pass 80 Pine St headed towards Pearl and make a right, then keep walking until you see the Pure Barre sign. The studio itself is very modern, clean, and fairly spacious. I came about 15 minutes before the class start time and was able to get some warm-up stretches in. The instructor, Daisy, was so friendly and really easy to understand - even for a first-timer. She did corrections around the room throughout the class and was always open to questions on form, etc. The class as a whole is upbeat and does move very quickly, but was easy enough to follow if you glance around the room. Loved the playlist and progression of sets to target various areas of the body. I took an 8:20 AM class (first class of the day on the weekend) and there were only about 10 people total which really helped me have a clearer view of the instructor. Overall, the class was a better workout than I expected. My legs were shaking like crazy at several points throughout the class and my abs really felt the burn. Don't be cocky like me and think you can go straight into using 3 lb. weights - I seriously thought my arms were going to fall off. Shoulda stuck with the 2 lb-ers (whoops). All in all, it was a fun class and the hour was over before I knew it. I would definitely take another class here. If it's your first time, just make sure to come in with an open mind and try your best to keep up... there will be several exercises that you don't master right away or maybe even do completely wrong, but a quick glance around the room can usually help indicate what you're supposed to be doing. read more

I recently joined pure barre about 5 weeks ago. I lava it! The first class was so hard for me, but I kept coming back. Don't know how they make an hour pass by so quickly. I'm always surprised its over by the end of class. The instructors/staff are great! My favorites are Jenna, Janet and Nicole. Their positivity and smiles are contagious. I definitely see more definition in my abs, arms and butt. Yay! Thanks ladies! read more

My first time trying a Pure Barre class. I typically do barre at Equinox and this is much more intense, in a good way! A lot more core work and less plie-type exercises. Staff is really friendly and the music is great. The only downside is that there is ONE bathroom and no showers. A great full body workout & I highly recommend it! read more

This place is bright and clean and has the nicest staff! I took my first class this morning and the woman at the desk was so friendly- took the time to show me around and help me get what I needed for my class. My instructor, Nicole, was so friendly and welcoming and helped me with minor adjustments to make sure I was getting the most out of the class. Very clean, not too crowded, good workout and fantastic staff! read more

I joined Pure Barre on Halloween 2016 and have since been to this location only over 25 times. It's about a 3-4 minute walk from my apartment, couldn't be more convenient. I love how the class schedule really covers a wide range during the work week and weekends that allow me to get a workout in either in the mornings or evenings. My favorite instructors are Nicole, Janet and Ashtain! I'm so excited to reach the 100 club! I love the challenge the classes give, and how they vary from instructor to instructor. You really don't have the same workout each time. While the techniques definitely take awhile to learn and catch on to, if you stick it out, you might love it just as much as I do!!!! I just went again today for my first workout of 2017. Can't wait to go back. read more

I have been going to Pure Barre FiDi since the first week that it opened and I love working out here. The staff and owners are so warm, friendly, competent and great at running a barre studio. It is a bit pricey, but I have a yearly membership and I feel that I am getting my money's worth because I exercise here at least 4 times a week, usually 5-6 times a week over the past 1.5 years. I can't say that I have been consistent about working outing enjoying it at the same time at any other place. I needed to lose some weight before my wedding and between healthy eating, jogging a few miles twice a week, and going to Pure Barre FiDi-- I shed 17 lbs. I have been able to keep off most of the weight and stay toned largely thanks to Pure Barre. I can't stress enough how much Pure Barre has changed my body and attitude towards working out for the better. read more

PB is a great, friendly neighborhood barre studio. The instructors are super nice and helpful, retail merchandise is cute, and classes are varied enough to not get bored. The package price is pretty reasonable although they charge $20 for missed classes which is kind of a bummer. Very conveniently located for FiDi (3ish blocks from 2/3 train). read more

I went back to Pure Barre FiDi. I actually really dislike the Pure Barre teaching style. I think that it's unnecessarily fast paced and slightly painful. You can get a better workout without doing some of their exercises, which I think leave you at high risk for injury. I only go because it's in my neighborhood and convenient. read more

New Pure Barre studio in FiDi! I love barre, especially Pure Barre, and you don't know how happy I was to see this studio open. Great studio, awesome instructors, new equipment. Totally "together" even this soon after opening (today was their first day of classes). Way more convenient than the Union Square and UWS locations for people in downtown too. Score!! read more

I used to be regular during my ClassPass days. I stopped going because the space became too cramped and smelly. I think it was fine in the beginning when PB opened its doors. However, I thought they could've done a better job maintaining this establishment. The staff are very friendly - classes are hit or miss depending on your instructor. read more

The studio was very clean and the staff was very friendly; however, every class I went to was very similar. I love barre, but would like the classes to feel different when I go. I have been going to barre for years now, and was a bit concerned when I was in class and didn't see the instructor correcting the person next to me's form throughout class when they weren't aligned correctly. Barre can be very dangerous when people are doing moves incorrectly. read more

The staff is great. The place is always clean and it's super convenient for me to get to after work. Can be extremely crowded at times - this means that sometimes you're on top of other people in the class and the "locker room." It's also quite pricey, but I keep paying because it's a good workout, the staff is awesome, it's convenient and they provide some nice little amenities (fruit, bobby pins, etc.) that make it easy to fit this into my day. read more

The studio at this location is absolutely beautiful, and the instructors and manager are so friendly and accommodating. I went for my first ever barre class, and the instructor made sure I was comfortable, and continued to encourage me throughout class. It was an awesome work out, and well worth the trek to FiDi. I will definitely be going back!!! read more

One of the best pure barre studios in the city! All of the teachers are great and the class times align well with my work schedule (7:10 am and 6:50 pm classes). The studio is clean and they provide helpful toiletries (Bobby pins, dry shampoo) for clients. Great apparel too! read more

This is a new studio so time will tell if they maintain the studio Have attended classes with different instructors....Mikhelle and Janet are the best and in the past 1 month it is safe to say that the other instructors are not as inspiring. Mikhelle and Janet are the only reason you want to pay the high price for the classes. The instructor this morning spoke too fast and did not demonstrate a number of the techniques and was just not very inspiring. The music was too loud and the instructor just seemed to lack focus. For a good portion of the class a number of students were looking for guidance. Front desk/ receptionist is cold and not very welcoming and just seems to have a bad attitude. For the price you pay you expect a more welcoming environment. read more

While I agree with Tiffany that it can be a bit difficult for beginners to follow the changes, once you go a few times you start to pick it up. I've only gone when Janet was teaching the class (not intentionally but just a time that works for me) and she is really good at correcting and making sure people are making the right adjustments. They do offer a barre breakdown class the should help get you familiar with the tucks. read more

Low-impact but high quality workout. Great class, my legs were two leaves shaking at some point. Looking forward to my next class.

This week was my first time trying Pure Barre, and I really love it. While I have done Barre 3 since its beginnings (and am a loyal follower), Pure Barre is more convenient for me so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! While the classes and music are faster than Barre 3 (and you use a tube), I could pick up all movements given they are very similar. When entering the studio all instructors were so nice and recognized I was new, therefore offering to show me my locker and necessary class equipment. My first class was with Janet and she ensured she knew my name, as well as making me comfortable in class. Altogether it was a wonderful experience and I will be returning! read more

I've been a pure barre fan for over 7 years but quit going for awhile after moving to the city since the prices were unmanageable - thankfully classpass has changed all that! It's been great to be back in the pure barre studio and the staff at this location are super friendly - going out of their way to remember your name and greet you upon entry into the studio. The class will kick your butt no matter how advanced you become because you get better and better at mastering your form and executing the movements. It really is a body shaper! No showers here which is a minor downfall and only 2 changing rooms and 1 bathroom - but still, the wait is never bad. I'll definitely become a regular at this studio. read more

Great workout. You feel the burn and no minute is wasted during the 55 mins of class. Don't worry stretch breaks are scheduled in between the class. read more

Clean friendly environment. Teacher and staff take the time to show you around and help you with form and proper alignment. I suggest you give it a try. read more

Poorest service ever! Phone calls take forever to get answered - if answered and I've missed classes because of errors on their end. Should consider training their staff in IT literacy and customer service. read more

I love barre!! these girls really know what they are doing. They push you to try your best. They truly are a motivation.

They were really friendly when you arrived. The class was encouraging and supportive. Some other barre classes I've been to I've not felt very welcome but this one was great. read more

When to take a class here be sure to do it with Daisy, she is a fantastic instructor, she really takes the time to know you and your needs! The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful as well but I try to never miss a class when Daisy is teaching it! The workout itself gives you a really good sweat. And though it is low intensity you really feel the muscles that you don't normally work get the attention they need. read more

I tried Pure Barre for the first time 2 weeks ago and now I'm obsessed! If you've never tried it, I strongly suggest you give it a chance! In the past 2 weeks my body has gotten stronger and toned. The girls are super nice and the studio is nice and clean. Each instructor walks around the room during class helping you to perfect your form and to work just a little harder to see better results. Each class is different which I love and the music is always something catchy and keeps me focused on class. Definitely try a class if you haven't already!!!! read more

I was super excited when I saw Pure Barre was coming to my nabe. I'm obsessed with SoulCycle but wanted to add something to my routine. I've taken barre classes before so I knew what to expect but I'm definitely no expert. I purchased the grand opening unlimited package and started about three weeks ago. I love the studio, the workout and the instructors. Everything is extremely clean (bathroom, locker area and studio). I love the staff- they are very friendly and helpful in and out of class. I've taken almost all the instructors and think they are very knowledgable and helpful during class. I also like that when I take the same instructor 3 days in a row, they change some of the moves so it's not repetitive. The only reason I gave Pure Barre FiDi 4 stars instead of five is because I know its going to be expensive after my package ends (but then again, their pricing is comparable to similar workouts). Can't wait to tuck and squeeze again! read more
