As an avid Pure Barre lover, I was thrilled to learn that a PB studio was coming to Pensacola. I frequently visit my hometown to see family and love to find new places to try when I am there. I diligently watched their Facebook page, hoping to be in town around the time of their opening late last year. Unfortunately timing didn't work out and I was only able to finally make it to a class this past week.
Seriously. What a treat. I really wanted to be able to take a class with the owner, Catalina, so I dragged my butt out BEFORE the crack of dawn to make it to one of the 6:30am classes.
First off, the studio is amazing. I've been to several PB studios, which are all lovely, but this one takes the cake. The retail section is HUGE. Everything is clean, organized and as cute as can be. I love the exposed brick in the actual studio too. A nice nod to to look and feel of downtown Pensacola. The stained glass window in the front is just stunning.
Catalina was an excellent instructor. I could totally understand her (sometimes a problem at PB studios), the music was great and her sequence of moves was on point. My abs were definitely feeling the burn later that day (and even more so the next one!).
All of the folks taking the class that morning were really friendly. PB has a reputation for being a little cult-ish but these ladies were just as nice as could be to this outsider. Don't be afraid to show up and be new!
First time visitors get a free class and drop-ins are just $15. I wanted to cry when I saw that deal compared to my home PB's prices ($8 more!).
Make a visit to this amazing studio. Try out a few instructors. and most of all, Lift, Tone, Burn! read more
