Here is an update from 2.5 years of weekly pure barre: i still love it; I still go weekly. Celebrating 100 classes was a real milestone and celebrated in a way that simply feels Good- and a photo if desired. I must admit that in my almost 60 years never Once (really) was a physical accomplishment celebrated and i felt celebrated without being whelmed by it. I am more flexible, stronger for sure, able to move in ways I couldn't even when young & fit & active. I don't live in california, not sure why the system insists that is so- live here local to the studio. Come, give pure barre a try! Don't be afraid of the shake (after a while it becomes a goal to Find the Shake in your workout). read more

Ah, PB. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.. I'm not much for working out solo. I won't push my self as hard nor am I good at finding different ways to work my muscles. This is where Pure Barre comes in... The women who run this spot are sweet. And the teachers are, too. Cara, at the front desk, has remembered my name since my second visit. Shannen, Andrea, Denise, Shaina, Lauren, and Missy are the bomb. Shannen teaches and runs the studio. She offers a really challenging class and is always happy to help with any issues that may arise outside the PB studio. Denise has such a consistent class. She doesn't do a lot of flashy, trying-to-be-difficult postures. The challenge in her classes come from small tweaks that REALLY get into the muscles. I love her classes! Andrea is also challenging. Her Empower class will leave you with sore muscles for days. Her Restore will do the same. Plus, who can resist her Classic? Lauren's personality really shines through in her classes. She's a fun teacher while also coming up with challenging sequences. Shaina can really throw down in a classroom. She's physically petite and small so you'd think she's just going to be really sweet but then you see the muscle definition in her arms and you realize she's going to kick your ass. Ha! She's great, too. I've only had one class with Missy but it was really a challenge. She really kicked my butt and she seems super friendly, which is an added bonus. The classes are low impact. They are designed to allow you to participate to whatever degree you choose depending upon injuries, etc. And it'll give you a good butt. No, really. The pricing is the only thing I don't enjoy. It's so high, especially for being a small town. But studios in NYC charge much more than they do here so it's all relative? There are discounts available for students, first timers, etc. so it's still manageable. So, all in all, come check out Pure Barre. Challenging classes, great teachers, and you'll love the new definition in your butt after a few weeks. They've got new student specials so check those out to help relieve the burden of a high payment: read more

Pure Barre - Cubbies, filtered water spigot, and equipment. - Barre Classes Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

Using my sister's Google review here: I'm giving Pure barre NoHo a 3.5-4 Star review. I'm a client of another Pure Barre studio (been going there for over 2 years) and I always like trying out other studios when I'm traveling. Let's start off with what I liked: the music selection was good, I knew the choreo, the equipment was mostly set up for class already and in designated spots so no fighting for a seat, the studio space felt clean and organized and there was definitely a sense of a community. Some confusing parts for me were: first, I showed up early figuring I'd need to sign a waiver, as standard practice across PB, but that was never mentioned. Not even after class and they were focused on getting the next class in so I didn't bother asking. Second, I told the receptionist I'm very well versed in PB lingo, but I wasn't the only new person. The instructor didn't come over and introduce herself, learn our names to give us shout outs (there were very few shout outs), show anyone what the proper forms were before or during class and even afterwards, then she said she was available for questions and then disappeared....maybe at my studio these are just suggestions but it really helps me as a client feel appreciated and make me want to come back. This last confusing part isn't as concerning as the first two points but I figure I'd mention: the instructor didn't really keep with the beat nor during seatwork did she stay on the same side of seat. There are two exercises for seatwork and you generally stay working on the same side to really fatigue that side. We started on our left for the first exercise and then did the second one on the right. Okay, maybe that was just an oops. Later on, everyone was on the wrong "leg" and the instructor kind of brushed it off and said to work on whatever side you're working on. Hmm. That didn't feel like a clear instruction; I also felt like there weren't clear instructions on how to do the exercise properly without hurting yourself. Again, I'm not an instructor but I've taken enough classes to know that if I look around and see a bunch of people straining, that's probably not good. Overall class was alright, but I was a little disappointed that I didn't feel welcomed and that what I thought were industry standards clearly weren't here. Maybe it was a new teacher? Maybe it was an off night? I'm not an angry customer looking for a refund, I'm just trying to point out that there are some, what I think, are serious issues that if fixed, could make this studio really great. I'd be happy to try this studio again in the future! read more

Took a class at this Pure Barre location when I was in the area to see old friends. I was running late to the class, and front desk staff was very accommodating, which I really appreciate. Studio space is airy and modern, and very spacious compared to some of the other Pure Barre I've been to. Water fountain is available too, always a plus! There's a parking lot behind the studio for 1hr free parking. Class is fun & fast paced, I went on late Friday afternoon so it was a very small class. Instructor helped correct my form and was very helpful. She did not demonstrate all the moves though, wish she did because kinda took me 10 seconds to understand what we needed to do. read more

I've been here a bunch of times throughout the school year (I'm a Smith student) since they opened last year. I've been to Pure Barre in other cities like Raleigh, NC & Philadelphia, PA & Palo Alto, CA. I'd say that the difficulty level here is lower than any of these other Pure Barres in larger cities. I honestly like the community at this Northampton location the best because it's not as intimidating or scary. Everyone is really welcoming and the instructors are all generally great. Love this place and wish I went more often (it's hard to walk all the way over there from Smith's campus in the snow). read more

I tried my first Pure Barre class in Northampton after 3 months of Bikram yoga (5 x week) for lower back issues. I couldn't believe how fun and quick a Pure Barre class was. It's difficult but, the class is fun and goes by fast. Classes have a great range of ages and abilities and there are lots of modifications. I have liked all of the instructors, who regularly checked in with my during my first two weeks of class. Both instructors and staff have been supportive and helpful! The studio is very clean and has two large bathrooms. I've been trying to get everyone I know to go! 100% recommended. read more

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews but want to add that I am almost 60 years old and had been taking 800 mg Motrin every morning for my lower back pain. I worked out regularly doing hot yoga, spin, boot camp, weight lifting as well as snow and water skiing but still needed to take OTC pain medication. After the first month of Pure Barre it occurred to me that I no longer needed pain med! I don't need to lose weight, and haven't lost weight, but I noticed my cloths seem to fit and look better. I am on my 3rd month and have completed over 75 classes and recently my husband commented on my "Pure Barre ledge" LOL. I feel stronger and more energy and seriously look forward to this kick-*** class! read more

I've absolutely fallen in love with Pure Barre! I'm finishing up my Intro month and I'm excited to continue classes next month. I think it's an awesome and effective workout. In a little under 1 month I've seen so much improvement and I look and feel stronger. The instructors are so helpful and friendly and make class enjoyable. The studio is nice and clean. Front desk staff is always nice and friendly. The bathrooms even have hairspray and makeup wipes. Parking is super easy and free, which is a huge draw since it can be hard to find a spot in Noho. Love it here and am so happy to have discovered this awesome workout! read more

Best workout there is!!! Amazing instructors at this location. I've been attending pure barre classes for several years in several different states, and love it. Worth every penny. I could pay $25/month to go to a private gym, but there's no way I'd be as toned and trim as pure barre makes me. Definitely recommend!!!! read more
