This was my first time doing barre. My friend had the unlimited pass and bought me as her guest. I'm unfit for barre and the instructor, Amy, was super patient with me. She was always there to offer a helping hand. My friend loves this place and has been attending a few times a week for months now. read more

Prior to Covid, barre was my go to group ex workout. I've been to a number of different studios and notice they all have their own formats. For me, Pure Barre's format is the hardest to attach to. I don't know what it is but I can't quite get into the rhythm of the routine and prefer The Bar Method as it feels more alignment and placement focused than the quicker pace of Pure Barre. However, I think the draw to Pure Barre is that the format is faster and it can feel more entertaining and well paced. The instructor was very friendly and I like that she provided corrections. The studio location itself though is tough. Parking in the area is rough and the room is a little small. read more

I was on a Barre kick, meaning I needed to try Pure Barre. I went to this studio using ClassPass credits. The studio is large, but my afternoon class was full - maybe 20+. The instructor was friendly, and it stood out to me that she knew so many people in the class by name. I think this speaks to the community that is cultivated at this studio. The class was fast-paced, and the instructor did come by to adjust my form, but I think the number of students would discourage me from attending this class time again. I recommend this studio if you want an intense low-impact workout read more

I almost have 800 classes under my belt, and it is still a work out every single time I go! I love that Pure Barre adapts to keep their long-term customers challenged. They have added new class formats in the past few years to offer variety. This is wonderful because I do multiple classes per week, so I like to take different classes to change things up! The instructors are the perfect balance between challenging and encouraging! Not many people can say they are doing the same work out 10 years later, and it is still kicking their butt every single time! I love being part of the Pure Barre family, and you will too! read more

I am so hooked on Pure Barre. I think it's an amazing workout. It can be very challenging, but the instructors are so helpful with providing modifications. It's definitely more expensive than a gym membership, but it's worth it for me . I have done 10 classes so far and I can see results. I like to go in the morning because parking can be tricky. If you go early in the morning, parking on the street is easy and free. read more

I love going to Pure Barre! The staff at this location is so nice and welcoming and my favorite instructor so far is Maggie A. Pure barre has an app that you can use to schedule and check the classes offered. They do offer a free foundations class, which was really cool. Parking can be hard to find if you go on a busy weekend/time. They do have limited free parking garage spots, or you can park on the street. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Started going here in mid December to get back in shape. The instructors are so nice. They really make an effort to know your name and call you out in class. The classes are challenging but low impact. I've been having so much fun! read more

My first barre experience was with Gretchen and she was super friendly and introduced herself to the unfamiliar faces at the start of class and taught us some of the common moves that we should expect to learn. I found out about this place from classpass and so glad I tried it! I would be interested in returning! read more

I'm in love with Pure Barre! I joined this studio when I moved to San Diego a couple years ago and can't imagine doing anything else. It sculpts and target muscles I would never think to isolate at the gym. The teachers are amazing and I look forward to seeing everyone when I take a class! All the instructors are great especially Peggy, Eva, and Maggie. Thanks for whipping my butt into shape :) read more

I was a pure barre customer in Alabama for three years. I adore the work out, but I would honestly encourage anyone to go somewhere else for their exercise needs. Customer service is terrible here. They double charged me in January for a month. I totally understand. It happens. However, Ive called at least 9 times, spoke to 4 different people, emailed with two. This was over the course of about 8 weeks. And each time, I politely implored them to follow up with me and help me solve this. I finally had to proceed with a charge back. I was offered an apology from one person via text message, however nothing was really done to make me ever want to go back to this place or encourage anyone to go here. I mean, they have my phone number, email and mailing address and it's insane that NO one has really reached out unprompted to right the situation. The renovation is exciting and badly needed, but the disregard for the customer experience is insane. On my first visit, I filled up my water bottle in the bathroom sink and there was super weird merch out. I was also charged twice by orange theory recently - bad luck I know. I called and it was fixed in less than a week. The work out is great, but it makes me feel icky to think about ever walking in this place again. read more

So I've taken 11 classes at Pure Barre now and I definitely toned the stubborn fat on my inner thighs (my mom looked at me the other day and was so surprised at how toned my legs were!) Most of my fat accumulates around my thighs and Pure Barre targets it right on (even dance and running didn't help...) One reviewer commented that the routine is always the same... I beg to differ because the class changes just as I start to get comfortable doing some routine so I never get stuck in a rut! read more

I've danced professionally (ballet), and I know what a good workout feels like -- and this is the best workout I've ever had. It is *very* tough, but leaves you feeling good, rather than half-dead. If you keep with it, you are going to see results within 4 - 5 classes. Fantastic workout, great instructors, excellent space -- but you have to come about 40 minutes early to find a parking spot. (Hillcrest!!) From either the north or south, you want to take 6th ave to Upas. Right onto 5th, and the next left is Walnut. You can usually find street parking on Walnut. There's even a commercial, covered garage at 306 Walnut, though I haven't tried it yet. Also, going up 5th *from* Walnut, towards Pure Barre, there's a parking lot: $5/ 2 hours. Anything closer than Walnut, and you're going to be driving in circles trying to find a spot. read more

For a workout that doesn't look like you move at all this was tough. I'm pretty regular at a gym but this little movement really hit places I don't normally do. About the studio it's self and preparing for a class. Bring socks with you, preferably the grippy ones, there aren't any you can buy there. Bring water with you, there are no fountains to fill up a bottle. But you can buy some there. And you may want to bring a small towel if you tend to sweat. Other than that just have a positive attitude, ask questions and let the instructor help you into the poses! read more

You hear all about Pure Barre from your lady friends and even some of your male friends. I was able to sign up for a free trial with a promotion that they had for new customers. I'm more of a gym kind of gal and enjoy my weight lifting so I thought this class would be a piece of cake. The staff is super sweet and walked me through the entire process and explained the socks 'n stuff. The class itself is fast paced and you really need to be on cue with the transitions of the workout to prevent from falling behind. Overall it wasn't anything too challenging but it does burn. The next day I had a level of soreness I have never experienced before. Everything in my body hurt. It's a nice deviation from your traditional workout to spice things up. This isn't my go-to workout but I could see adding it to my weekly routine! read more

Great amazing studio for all over body toning!! Definitely a must try and the instructors are full of energy and motivation. Each workout is very intricate in its own way and works those muscles for sure! Thanks pure barre Hillcrest read more

In 2011 I gave this business 4 stars and I still think people should try a Pure Barre-type workout at some point in their lives because the workout itself is great. However, since we rolled into 2012, I am compelled to remove a star. Since the New Year the studio has sacrificed quality for quantity. The classes have been packed to capacity and the studio addressed this by implementing a strict cancellation policy, pre-scheduling requirements, and adding additional classes. For this, I admire that. At least the studio is attempting to balance a growing business and alleviate student frustrations. Nevertheless, if you abide by the cancellation policy, pre-schedule, and arrive 30 minutes before scheduled class just so you can see a glimmer of parking hope (free parking in the Atlas building is limited and everyone in San Diego knows what street parking in Hillcrest is like!), the classes themselves have fallen flat. After battling limited parking space, you have to battle space on the studio floor. Gym etiquette goes out the window (i.e. late comers should accommodate those who were in class before them.) and the instructors make zero effort to tailor the class to the sheer mass of bodies. For example, if a class is maxed out, perhaps the instructor should avoid thigh/seat floor routines that require flailing limbs or modify those routines so everyone can get the benefit of their workout. At $23.00/class, students are wasting their money/time if they cannot fully stretch without hitting a person near them or cannot find space on the floor. I have seen students (myself included) forced into the back area where the mats/weights are kept because no one is willing to move over an inch or two and the instructor neglects to move students for the benefit of everyone else. It is not a student's job to rearrange everyone - it is the instructor's job. Bottom Line: I wish most studios realized Maxiimum Capacity per fire code does NOT equal Maximum Capacity for an effective class. I can say with 100% certainty that once I finish my class package, I will not set foot in this studio again. This is a perfect example of a business starting out great and then fizzled out. I hope they address these concerns quickly because it WAS such a great studio. read more

Pure Barre is an amazing workout!! You're using muscles you never even knew you had and the next day you're sore everywhere. This particular location is nice, clean and located right on 5th Ave. next to Hash House and Celadon. I guess that also means that parking could be a hassle. I've been to the Solana Beach location as well, but I think I prefer Hillcrest just because it's more of a central location, where as Solana Beach is kind of hidden away. My first time coming here was due to a recommendation from a friend. Your first time is free so I thought I'd give it a go and try it out. I've never done any type of barre workout before and Raina was an excellent instructor. She tells you what to do and comes by to correct you to make sure you have proper form and targeting the right muscles. It's definitely an intense hour of exercise and you've got to really push yourself to hold the positions. It's crazy because after a while parts of your body start shaking due to the intensity. Your limbs start going haywire and it looks like you're having a seizure! All of it will be worth it though because after a while you'll have a stronger core and nice toned muscles. The next day is always a fun one because you're so sore that you can hardly move. Even a sneeze hurts! At least you know it's working, right? I highly recommend trying it because it's not your typical workout. It's shocking how the tiniest movements repeated several times can make you hurt sooooooo good. read more

This was my first barre class, and the workout was HARD, but I'm not giving my rating based on that. I'm giving it based on the overall atmosphere and the way the instructor made me feel. I signed up through ClassPass, and was excited to try my first barre class at this studio after hearing good things about Pure Barre. The woman at the front was very friendly and helpful, and as the instructor walked in, she told her that we were new. Our instructor couldn't care less. When we were introduced, she immediately proclaimed that she was going to get coffee before class began and then left. Not quite what I'd hope for when being new to a class, and new to a studio. This negative vibe continued into the class. The instructor wasn't friendly, and as someone else mentioned, she corrected my form in a way that I actually got frustrated and annoyed. I also didn't feel that the instructor explained things well to new students. It seemed as though she expected us to know what we were supposed to be doing, and I found her lack of instructions confusing...and let's be honest, I still have no idea what "tucking" is. I've never thought about walking out of a class before, but after twenty minutes in, I considered it and went back and forth about this decision for the rest of class. I didn't feel comfortable at this location, and I won't be returning. read more

I lived in San Diego from Aug. 2013 - Aug. 2014 and attended Pure Barre regularly primarily due to the proximity to my home. I returned to the studio over Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was in town visiting my boyfriend and because I had a few classes left on my class pass. I have been taking barre classes for almost 5 years. The Pure Barre workout is among the most intense I have seen and is one of my favorites. The instructors here don't offer a ton of corrections which I find frustrating because form is so important to getting the maximum benefit. However, if you're familiar with the form, it's not a huge deal. The studio definitely lacks a friendly, welcoming vibe. I'm pretty sure I have taken at least 50 classes there and I believe only one instructor knows my name. Many instructors don't seem to try to learn the names of students, and it often looks like when they are giving out "compliments" in class, they are doing so by reading names off of the attendance sheet and not even looking at you. I have found that either no one talks when I'm at the studio or the instructors talk to a small group of their friends. I also really dislike that they often do these challenges and promotions where the goal is to take 40 classes in 50 days or something similar. I know they are not the only studio to do things like this, but I personally think these promotions are very irresponsible. I do not believe it is healthy to recommend that clients exercise 6 days/week, especially doing the same exercise each day. Overall, the place is fine, especially if you live nearby. The prices are reasonable and they often have specials. I have found Cat to be the most friendly and is probably the best at teaching. Tina and Meg tend to have the most challenging workouts. read more

This place kinda sucks. The classes are hard and that's good but the instructors were borderline mean. I've done lots of barre classes and this was the first time I really disliked it. I showed up in shorts bc I was unaware that there is a dress code and was basically asked to leave. They let me do the class but I was told not to put the ball between my legs...bc of how unsanitary it was. I found that to be bizarre. The second time I tried the instructor was just rude. No smiles and kept correcting my form in such a way that I became annoyed by it. Overall not a good vibe at this location. I wouldn't come here again and I told all my friends to try a different studio. read more

Wow. Very rude, unprofessional, and unfriendly. I love working out and was looking for something in addition to yoga and pilates. I tried out two other barre studios using deal sites to get an idea. This studio was very close to my house so I was excited to check it out. I tried out three separate instructors and none of them smiled or were at all welcoming before class. One barked at us to get in to class ASAP even though we were still two minutes early. After class she didn't even bother to say anything to us as we were leaving! The manager/owner is by far the rudest. I don't understand why she's so unfriendly...it seems like you'd lose a lot of new customers and money that way. My advice to her would be to greet people in a welcoming way...it might work! read more

While this was a very good workout, the studio itself was a disappointment. After calling several times and leaving a voicemail two weeks ago, I had given up. Then, I saw Living Social deal which I decided to purchase. I decided to attend my first class and called an hour in advance to attempt to ask the questions I had wanted to ask two weeks ago, including what the workout entails and what I should wear. Yet again, no one answered the phone. So, I decided to head over there and sign up in person. When I arrived I was informed there WAS a dress code. Since I wore flip flops and did not bring the REQUIRED socks, I was told I had to buy them--an issue that may have been avoided if my phone calls were ever returned. As the class began the instructor did not introduce herself or ask if anyone was new. Consequently, I found myself lost and without her help for the majority of the class. She also attempted to adjust my hips, despite the fact that I indicated on my form that I had an injury/health issue (which prevented me from doing this). She acted as though I somehow should have known how to do the pose. The workout itself was very challenging and I definitely feel as though I will benefit from having done it. However, the customer service at this studio is so poor I might just find another one altogether. read more

I don't do yoga or pilates, so when my friend first asked me to go with her to a class at Pure Barre I was excited but extremely nervous. I've heard from friends how it's an intense but amazing workout. And boy were they right! I took a class with Lindsey and I found her to be a great instructor. When my form was off she would come up to me and tell/show me what to do, which I greatly appreciated. She would also praise you if you had good form or were doing something well. She was helpful and motivating. I broke out into an intense sweat probably 10 minutes into the workout, which may have very well still been the warmup. My body was shaking the entire time. I have a terrible core but am going to keep coming here to make it stronger. Two days later and my body is still aching. I definitely worked out muscles that probably haven't used in 20 years ago. It hurts to walk down stairs and even sneeze for that matter, and I love that feeling! My normal workout routine consisted of kickboxing, zumba, hip-hop dance classes and cardio on an elliptical. The barre class was very challenging and I felt rather proud of myself after I got thru that first class. I'm so excited about this workout and plan to sign up for the $99 new client special. Side note: A couple friends of mine took a barre class at another company in SD (I won't mention any names) and said the instructor would call them out in front of everyone if they were doing something wrong. They said it was completely embarrassing. I'm so glad that did not happen at Pure Barre. read more

Parking sucks Ladies that work there are not nice Class was boring and not very challenging Teacher was just okay, not the best instructor... Acted like she hated her job. I've taken barre classes before including Xtend Barre and I have to say if you're going to take any type of barre class take Xtend Barre... There's one in Carmel Valley and Carlsbad. You'll get a great workout and really "feel the burn" and the instructors are super nice and worth the money( unlike this place) read more

Love this place. Visited for the first time in January to try a class. Harmony was the instructor and was very personable and helped me feel comfortable trying this class for the first time. I have gone back several times. It is a tough workout and I am sure you can work up to the strength if you keep going regularly. I am not there yet but it motivates me to keep working toward my goals! I could see anyone having amazing abs after a couple months of this!!!!! I try to schedule Harmony's class whenever I can! read more

My favorite Barre Studio. The workouts here are more intense than the other studios that I've tried in LA and NY. I am sore for so much longer and although it's painful, I'd like to take that as a sign of a good workout. I definitely notice results and I love it. The studio is on the smaller, more personal side, so I would definitely suggest signing up for classes on the website to ensure your spot. The teachers are great at motivating you to stay on your toes and to tuck for just one second longer. I've never had an instructor that I didn't like at this studio. Management is also super nice. I had a Groupon for 10 classes that I never got to use and I was just planning on using the promotional value to purchase three classes, but the lady who runs the place said I could just use the Groupon so I was super excited! I have to agree with one point someone else brought up. They aren't always the best at instructing newbies. I remember when I first started, I didn't understand the portion where you are sitting down against the wall. I was just grateful for the break, but I guess that isn't the point of the workout class. Be sure to park in the structure right behind the studio. You have to go down kind of a weird alley way. I've never had trouble getting a spot in there and it's way better than circling around looking for parking in Hillcrest. Before I knew about the structure I would circle around the block and I have definitely missed a class or two because of this. Love Pure Barre! read more

I've been attending Pure Barre Hillcrest for almost a month now; and I keep going back for more! I'm able to challenge myself as much as possible or modify the technique as needed. The instructors are helpful and encouraging. The ambiance is fun, as they bring new challenges every month! Lastly, the variety of workout times are great! Especially for those working 8-5 jobs! Oh, and I'm definitely noticing results :). read more

Pure Barre San Diego | Hillcrest - Pilates Near Me - San Diego, California

I just started coming here and I think it is a nice change from my typical workouts. I am use to hard core exercising that makes you burn like 800-1000 calories in a hour. When I first came here I thought it was going to be so easy but I was pleasantly surprised. It is not a super intense workout, but because the moves are so different and the muscles you use are not major muscles it is actually kinda hard. I never had a issue getting into a class cuz it was too full. Just showed up and signed in. Ladies I recommend trying every workout at least once! Muscles have memory and doing the same thing over and over doesn't improve you body. PS they have parking for free in the garage. read more

The best barre location in San Diego. You can trust that whichever class you walk into, you'll get a good work out and feel results in your energy and muscle tone. I really like that instructors will walk around and give slight adjustments to make sure you're fitting the move into your body the right way, but at the same time you never feel on the spot because the teacher is challenging and helping everyone. Whenever I go consistently I start seeing substantial results after 2 or so weeks. Check out Eva's class if you're new! read more

The best most effective workout if you are ready to get serious about shaping and sculpting your body! Friendly and knowledgeable instructors, clean and new studio, and a great option if you are ready to take your body to the next level! I signed up for the 30 days for $100 special - lost 8 pounds and 1 1/2 inches - not sure who is more thrilled - me or my husband! Warning: This is not a workout for those who only want to think about getting into shape ... if you invest one hour a day ... pure barre will give you back your BODY CONFIDENCE. Everyone can talk about getting into shape ... Only you can make that actually happen. read more

Using a Groupon which I won't renew. No dressing room unless you count the single bathroom. Was 5 min late today (limited parking underneath) and found front door locked. The poor instructor is also the receptionist so once class starts, the entire location is locked. The workout is interesting, good overall but I wouldn't pay their normal prices. read more

I think Pure Barre Hillcrest has gotten a bad rap from some of the other reviewers. I've taken ten classes here, from four different instructors. Here's my $0.02: The studio: A little smaller than the Pure Barre I went to over the holidays (visiting my parents out of state). It gets warm in the afternoon when the sun is pouring in - there is a small fan on the floor but they should lower the blinds - it gets hot! Of course I could speak up about this but I'm too polite. The carpet is on the floor for a reason, so we don't slip and break our tailbones. Another reviewer mentioned it was unsanitary - it appears to be as clean as carpet can be, IMO. The staff: The instructors I've had have all been very pleasant, and three have been downright delightful. I arrive a little early, let all of them know about my limitations (a fairly recent orthopedic surgery), and ask them to correct my form as they see fit. They have all obliged. Some of them call out people's names during the class "Nice, Becky! Good, Lisa!" and some don't, which is fine with me. I appreciate the comment if I'm doing something well but if they don't comment, that's ok too. The other participants: can be a little clique-y or standoffish but it's a bunch of 20-40 something year-old women, what do we expect? I generally smile and say hello, sometimes introduce myself to someone. If I don't go out of my way to be nice, I don't expect anyone else to. Finally - the workout: for me, is very challenging. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. I do find that the instructors vary a little in how difficult their workouts are. However,I always feel it later and/or the next day. Ten classes in and I am seeing more definition in my arms and thighs. My "seat" is not quite as good of friends with the back of my thighs. Ultimately this is why I go. It is never the same workout twice, and we don't spend as much time against the wall on the mats doing the "tuck" work, which I fear I may not be getting at all. I love this studio. read more

I have been attending Pure Barre classes consistently for the past few months & am completely amazed at the positive effect it has had on my body and overall well-being. I have been working out as long as I can remember and have NEVER seen results like this. I have lost a total of 14 pounds and 2 dress sizes!! :) Pure Barre has slenderized my thighs, flattened my abs, and lifted my seat like no other exercise I have tried. The classes are fun yet challenging and the instructors take the time to help you in whichever area you need. Each instructor is unique in their instruction so you never receive the same workout twice. They are ALL amazing and extremely motivating! I just can't say enough good things about Pure Barre! It is simply the BEST workout I have ever experienced! The first class is free and they offer packages/memberships to fit within your budget. I don't find it to be too expensive like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, because the results are priceless! In the past I have spent a significant amount of money on yoga, pilates, and personal training sessions with little to no results. I now spend less and receive soooo much more! I actually look forward to this work out and feel fortunate to have found such an amazing tool to give me the body I have always wanted, but never thought I could achieve. read more

I came here while in town for the holidays and will be back. I live in San Francisco and go to Bar Method up there. This Pure Barre location was only a 5 minute walk from where I was staying so I decided to give it a try. The tricky part about these reviews is if you're reviewing just the studio or in comparison to other studios you go to... Here's my lowdown: Overall: good studio, hard workout, and hit the general bar class style sequences. Classes are reasonably priced. My legs trembled, I sweated, and got what I wanted out of the class. The class was pretty small when I went which was nice. Staff was nice enough. Downsides: they do less stretches for longer but I prefer Bar Method's practice of little stretches after each sequence. The carpet is a thin, low grade carpet and not plush and soft like at Bar Method. The music was good and upbeat but not as sequenced as Bar Method. I didn't see any showers and there are just cubbies in the room where you keep your stuff as opposed to lockers in the main area or locker room like most workout studios. They corrected me a few times but not as much as Bar Method, who is known for being pretty hands on with corrections. I much prefer to be called out and corrected rather than performing an exercise incorrectly. All in all, it was good and I'll be back. Despite the downsides I mention, I'm sure it's still better than lots of other barre classes and it's a great spot for when I can't get to a Bar Method. read more

The studio is clean and the one instructor I had was friendly. I will say that this is poorly managed. I have been trying to get in contact with someone about classes I purchased not showing up in my Mind Body account and I cannot get in touch with anyone who can help. I called the primary number listed on the website which had a recording indicating to call/text another number. I did that - both call and text, followed by an email. I have been trying to get these classes into my account for over a week! I now see below in other reviews that others have had the same problem. Still waiting to be able to get in touch with an actual person who can help me with classes I have already paid for. read more

Great studio, but customer service is terrible! I have tried to ask them questions via email and social media on multiple occasions, and have never once gotten a response, which has resulted in them ultimately losing out on my business. read more

I have been coming to Pure Barre for a litle over 2 years now... LOVE IT. Everyone is always looking to get toned and get a "squat butt" and this is the best workout I have found for actual full body toning. I always get tons of compliments on my legs and glutes during shorts season and I tell everyone its because I do barre. I have tried other barre classes (Barre3, Pop Physique, Bar Method) and I always find myself coming back to Pure Barre. Its not an easy workout especially if you are new isometric exercises and the "shake". THIS IS A GOOD THING. If you're shaking it means change is happening! Aside from the workout, the staff has always been very friendly especially since it is always intimidating coming into a new studio. If you are a newcomer I highly recommend comming in 15 mins early and to allow time to find parking (as per etiquette for any workout studio). Bring water and a pair of sticky socks and get ready lift tone and burn! :-) read more

Would you like a targeted work out that will not only reveal your muscles outside but also build strength of the muscles underneath...the forgotten muscles, and strengthen from within and your core?! This is a great workout to add to your regimen. It is like yoga, ballet and Pilates all in one. The classes are somewhat calm, and reserved, its run like ballet class. I loved it, it really brought me back to those days. The facility is so nice, clean and kept orderly. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great special going on at the moment for new students, that you can NOT beat! Any level is encouraged, modifications can be made if something is too difficult or easy, and the instructor will walk you through it all. The soreness will fade but the way your butt looks will not. Stick with it, you will see a change. Add a nutritional diet to pure barre and you're destined for success and a great body... and energy! You will feel refreshed after PB Hillcrest instructors guide you step by step through the work out with enthusiasm. Long and lean and mean!!! They are making the schedule to stay consistent throughout the week, so people can really get the class and the time they need to look and feel amazing. This central location is easy for everyone to get to. The parking can be tricky, but I have found myself to be fairly lucky and park on the next block over to the east. A 1 to 3 block walk is easy, and worth it! I think this is a must try! Perhaps it be your only work out or addition to your current exercise regimen, I think you will be pleased with the overall experience at PB Hillcrest. read more
