This studio has been my lifesaver during COVID! The unlimited option is the way to go, offering you the ability to take classes at night or in the morning before work. Classic classes are very chill, with more challenging classes being Reform. read more

This is a really fun studio with good hours and awesome instructors, but it's just so expensive. There aren't a lot of facilities here other than the class itself, no shower and just one small changing stall. I couldn't justify continuing a membership for myself based on the price (after tax, $220 for an unlimited membership for one month, $35 for a single class) even though it was a really fun time. Geena G. and Amanda K. are my favorites! Would recommend trying the free Engage class to see if you like it. read more

I really enjoy coming to work out here. The instructors are great and very helpful. I struggle a lot in barre class, and they are always willing to come and fix my form. Need a great workout to do? Go here! read more

Take a class with Sami and your life will be forever changed! Love PureBarre vibe - challenging classes and great music. Really like that PureBarre uses numerous types of resistance bands, which a number of other barre studios don't use. INSTRUCTORS Favorite instructors (Sami, Lori, Dana, Italy, Samantha) do a good job of paying attention to form as well as introducing new sequences to keep workouts fresh and interesting. Wish that Sami, Dana taught at Queen Anne and/or Cap Hill. Have also taken classes with Vivian, Brittany E., Chelsea, Caitlin. LOCATIONS PureBarre has done a fantastic job expanding into neighborhoods, which is super convenient if you're on the go. Currently has 6 locations in Seattle/East Side - opened 3 brand new studios last year in Greenlake (Dec.), Redmond (Oct.), and U District (July), in addition to Q. Anne, Cap Hill, Bellevue. CLASS SIZE 5:30pm classes at QA are packed, and 6am classes can get pretty full both at QA/Cap Hill. Noon and 6:45pm classes are fairly reasonable at both locations. PERKS First class is free! PureBarre also offers Breaking Down the Barre, which is a fundamentals class for those new to barre, helpful for learning proper form and standard exercises. LASTLY Studios are well-maintained and well-lit. Sole wish is for shower facilities. Queen Anne location has free parking in the underground QFC lot ftw. read more

This location opened on September 15th. I am so glad they are opening up a new spot in Queen Anne. I came here for its grand opening party and had a blast! The lobby and studio appear bigger than the University Village one. read more

Kicking it!! Tuck, lift, tone and then some!! This is a smaller but brighter studio. It's located between orange theory fitness and that one massive pizza spot!! Funny! Across-ish from space needle. Street parking is there (can be challenging) and garage parking shared with qfc is a bonus. I did find myself spend some too much time for parking during evening classes though. Almost all the classes I've taken here are small and never crowded. It's good if you're looking for a small class. They do require socks here though and water bottles are $1 each. Parking downstairs (in qfc garage) is easier! They have later classes than most studios! Classes are not as challenging though. I haven't been able to see if they have platform classes here but usually classes here are quite mellow. It's my goto for that late night or late Sunday evenings since they offer the later hours. read more

Ahhh, this place is PURE AMAZING!! Everyone is so friendly and genuine, they will make you feel as if you were family from day one! I love classic pure barre class, I took it before in LA and was beyond happy to see that Seattle has a few locations too. The results are visible after only a couple of classes, I kid you not! I signed up for the unlimited month membership because I am not waiting for 2020 to start with my New Years Resolutions Thanks Pure Barre Team!! read more

I LOVE this place for a good quick total body workout. Fawn and Frances are awesome teachers and do wonderful corrections! They also are very helpful with giving me modifications as I'm getting deeper into the second trimester of my pregnancy. I highly suggest checking this studio out! Tip: Bring a water bottle because they have filtered water in the fridge you can refill your bottle with for free. read more

I LOVE PURE BARRE!!! Ever since a knee and a spine injury, I've been very cautious of the workouts that I do. I love that Pure Barre is so easy on the joints and there aren't crazy movements involved. It's always "up and inch, down and inch" and not a lot of wide range of motions. Also, if you tell your instructor of any injuries, she'll show you any modifications and will check in during class to see how you're doing. I also love that the instructors do NOT call your name out to correct you but rather come by and show you the correct movements. They also turn the mic OFF when they're talking to you which I think is very considerate (shy person over here). All of the instructors are so nice and will remember your name which will only motivate you to come regularly! My favorite instructors are Kelsey, Vivian, Frances, Anya, Cameron, Jenny and the list goes on. Basically everyone! There's free parking which they share with QFC so there's always a parking spot. No need to stress about street parking. I highly recommend!! :) read more

I do a lot of trail running, so I'm a fan of low impact barre workouts to cross-train and stretch. Pure Barre Queen Anne is in a super convenient location (QFC on Mercer) and has a ton of before- or after-work classes. The instructors are great and offer a lot of form corrections-- moving your knee or rotating your hip a few degrees is a world-changing difference, so I appreciate this. They also have some free workshops where you focus on form, which is nice. Of the classes they teach, I prefer the regular Pure Barre class; Pure Empower's cardio pushes didn't really get my heart rate cranking like other HIIT classes. read more

Needing to change up the exercise routine (or lack there of), a friend and I decided to try out the new craze a co-worker has been raving about. We figured it was worth a try since she looks terrific and all the reviews are positive. I won't sugar coat it- it's hard. You wouldn't think such small movements could create so much pain. Sweat is unleashed. Who knew it would be possible to get a cramp in your hip? No pain, no gain, right? For newbies, $99 gets you unlimited classes for a month. They're located in the same building as the QFC near the Gates Foundation and there's free parking in the garage underneath. There are little cubbies to store your purse, jacket, shoes, etc and a changing area behind a curtain. They sell some clothing, bottled water and the nubby socks to help you maintain your grip. They also supply all the equipment, so no need to bring your own yoga mat. The owners and teachers are nice and welcoming. It was nice to see a wide range of ages and body types in attendance. Everyone was friendly and appeared to be having a good time. read more

Pure Barre - Tip sheet - Pilates Near Me - Seattle, Washington

GO FOR: BARRE... duh ;) I came to this location last week for a 75 minute instructional class. It was EXTREMELY helpful. I've taken collectively about 20 barre classes at various studios, but learning the basics really allowed me to maximize the workout! Clean and brightly lit studio, parking next door, and Lela the studio frenchie is adorable! read more

Pure Barre - Everyone's ready for class! - Pilates Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you're looking to tone up, sweat, and get a great workout--come check out Pure Barre! Instructor: Fawn was an awesome instructor for my second go at Pure Barre. Compared to my first class, given the number of attending, Fawn was able to help me out with form and technique. Experience: I signed up through class pass and had no issues reserving my spot. Come 15 minutes early to get a spot you'd be comfortable working out in (I like the corner back). You'll be constantly moving, but you'll manage to find a quick second to wipe off or re-hydrate. Quick Notes: Since the facility is located on Mercer Street, look for street-parking nearby. If you bring a water bottle, they have a filtered water pitcher you can use to fill up! read more

I signed up for the one week free special and loved it so much that I'm planning on signing up for the intro month! Can't go wrong with free parking in the QFC garage, friendly and welcoming staff, motivating class instructors, and various class times to fit your schedule. Tried five classes so far and they've all been challenging but fun! read more

Great work out! Instructors here are very helpful and energetic. Loved the classes especially pure empower!

If you think Barre is some easy peasy workout, guess again. The meat between my ribs was sore for 3 days and I consider myself pretty active and decently conditioned. You will sweat, you will shake, and possibly cry but at the end of it you'll feel the burn in muscles you didn't know you had; micro-movements are so much harder than traditional weight training. I love barre. It's expensive; they offer both punch cards and monthly memberships so you have a choice. You do have to wear socks, and they recommend their sticky bottomed socks which will make a big difference for the first arms/abs conditioning torture. There's a formula to their routines but it's never the same twice. The instructors I've had have all been enthusiastic, happy and eager to help and share their knowledge. They will come by and give some hands on help which is beneficial for the booty quakes you'll experience. If you're over some of those big body pump type classes and want to try something different, I'd recommend this workout. Shaking/trembling is changing!!! read more

This class kicked my butt. It's not my favorite type of gym session, but the instructor was really helpful and attentive. The room was clean, and I felt very comfortable there. read more

I'm not really a workout person. Or, more accurately, working out and I are often frenemies. I'm not in terrible shape, but not particularly strong. On a whim, I went to a class at PBQA on Monday and was blown away by how friendly and welcoming it was, even when I was so lost I looked like a fish out of water. I went back again Wednesday and can't wait to go again tonight or tomorrow! I had Frances my first lesson and Katherine the second time. Both were so nice and I didn't feel judged at all. It's a nice sore afterwards and I can definitely tell it'll help me get stronger! read more

I am a runner who normally hates cross training. However, while training for my most recent marathon, I made a commitment to myself to get stronger in order to run faster. That's how I found Pure Barre in Queen Anne. The workouts are SO tough, but I've already seen amazing improvements in my running form and pace as a result. I also love this studio specifically because it offers 6 am classes that fit with my crazy schedule, the instructors are incredibly nice and helpful, and it's easy to reserve a spot in any class of my choosing. It's been an amazing experience so far! read more

Great classes and instructors. And free parking in the QFC parking lot is fantastic!

I heart Pure Barre and I'm so glad I discovered this workout. I realized that what I was doing on my own was nowhere near as effective. Two Pure Barre workouts equal five on my own at the gym. I can already tell a difference in my arms, abs and bum in about classes. Do it!! read more

Barre is awesome.. Barre is wonderful. So I have heard and was yet to try it out up until Last Thursday. I booked a class Via Classpass for the 430 slot and it was a great experience. The class strength was 8 . The instructor was absolutely lovely. She came in looking for me and gave me a few pointers given that I was absolutely new to Barre. The workout lasted for an hour. It had me quivering from time to time. The instructor paced around ensuring everyone had the right form and was very helpful. A ball, double resistance bands and dumbbells were used. It was a total body workout and I felt the burn hours after the workout. Barre is totally worth your money and will have you chiseled and toned up provided if you eat right ;) read more

I have been working out from home and I LOVE everything this studio stands for and how it teaches. It has saved me during the pandemic. Rather than going into a risky situation I have been able to do amazing workouts from home. The entire staff is amazing and motivated. I actually lost weight during 2020! read more

I tried the first free week and decided to renew for new classes because I love the classes so much!!! The instructors are awesome and I feel soooooo motivated and well trained during the classes. Really worth a try for fresh exercise people :) read more

So guess what, I'm lazy and impatient. I know big surprise. Because these are strong attributes for me, Pure Barre has been a god send. You spend 55 minutes tucking, lifting, stretching, and trembling only to leave invigorated and a bit sore. I'll be honest I've never tried this whole 'barre' workout before now and this might have to be my new jam. The studio is clean and I don't feel pressure to go beyond my expectations. I actually look forward to the corrections that the instructors provide because I want to learn how to do the movements correctly. The corrections are polite and private, I've heard that may not be the case for other places. I have about 10 days left on my new customer pass and I'm sure I will be renewing. It is totally worth just stopping in and check it out. read more

After a month of pure barre (PB) I decided to try bar method (BM) 1) because it's closer to me and 2) because I heard it was harder than PB. After a month of trying BM, I concluded the following: 1) Better Facilities = BM, they have lockers, it's cute inside 2) Better Instructors/ Instruction style = PB!!!! They offer more modifications to excercises to make more challenging or easier. I absolutely hated the way BM instructors "corrected" me. They would either call my name out from the front of the class or come over and man handle me. The annoying thing was that it wasn't for necessary form corrections, just preferences on how they wanted the excercise done. At PB if any correction to form is made by the instructors, they walk over to you and gently guide into the correct position, much more pleasant and not demeaning 3) Better Workouts = overall similar, but I still prefer PB because of the modifications they offer 4) Better Cost = Tie, they're comparable 5) Music = PB! Way more fun and upbeat. I think their sound system is better too. Overall BM just wasn't for me. I really loathed the instruction style, particularly the man handling and calling out my name. It my just be my preference, not necessarily better, but I'll definitely be going back to PB! Love it! read more

Maybe it's just me, but I did not have the best experience here. I made a reservation for a class through Class Pass. I was very excited to give barre a try as I have heard wonderful things about it from friends and family. I definitely felt welcomed and appreciated being able to put away my stuff in provided lockers. Bonus: if you drive, you can park in the QFC parking garage. Anyway, when I checked in, the receptionist asked if it was my first time. I said yes and she immediately let me know that she will make sure to communicate that with the class instructor. When class began, the instructor asked how many were new to barre. About 5 hands shot up out of 15 people in the class. At this point I felt assured that since she was asking, maybe she will tailor the class towards the beginners and if not, that she would plan to provide extra support and guidance to us first timers. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Although we started off slow, the instructor definitely picked up the pace along the way. It got to the point where I was trying to mirror her and others but couldn't tell if I was doing it right. There were many times where I felt I just couldn't get the right form as well. I attempted to make eye contact with the instructor multiple times to flag her down for assistance but she seemed to spend more time with the veteran students than the newbies like me. She praised the veteran students throughout the workshop and paid very little attention to me. Every once and awhile, she would walk by and correct me but not enough to make me feel good about what I was doing. A good challenge is always welcome, but in this case, I felt lost and confused 97% of the time. It's a total bummer because I live so close to this studio. I wish it worked out the first time because after this experience, I'm very hesitant to come back and try again. read more

I recently joined Pure Barre and am obsessed! Every person I have met so far has been incredibly nice and supportive. I was nervous to join but once I met the trainers and other members of the studio, I felt so comfortable. The trainers are very motivating and help me push myself even harder. Highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about trying a class! read more

This place is awesome. Barre always sounded like a "trendy" exercise class to me rather than a true fitness class (ha! Only because I didn't know anything about it.), but I'm so glad I gave it a shot and absolutely love this place. I've been going via ClassPass and have been hitting my 3x month limit at Pure Barre, so I'm getting close to shelling out extra $$$ so I can go more often. It's that worth it. I definitely came in expecting it to be a sort of ballet-y, dance-y based class, and hoo boy, that is definitely not what it is, so I was completely confused and intimidated in that first class and was not expecting it to be so hard. I'm really glad I kept at it, because as I've gotten more familiar with the movements, I've enjoyed the classes more and more every time I go. The time flies by, and I am always unbelievably sore in the best way. After the very first class, I had to text my friend to ask her to push back our meeting time because my legs felt like jelly and I needed to lie down for a while, haha. If you're trying barre for the first time, plan on giving it a few classes before you make a final decision on whether you like it or not. The class moves really fast, from one exercise to the next to the next, and it was really overwhelming initially. But now I'm pretty converted. Two complaints: I hate that you can't put a lock on their lockers! I always feel so nervous about leaving my stuff during class. Also, no showers or towels, and since it's basically a storefront along the huge QFC, the bathroom is a long walk down a vaguely sketchy hallway, since it's a shared bathroom with the other storefronts. Not a huge deal, but I'd really like to do week day morning classes but it's tricky to schedule because I'd need to go home first to shower before work. read more

I was first introduced to Pure Barre in 2011 by my friend. At the time it was a bit intense for me as I had just gotten back into exercising and was shopping around for an exercise studio. I then switched to Barre 3, as it was easier with a mix of yoga and toning. Just as I was about to sign up for an annual contract, I decided to give Pure Barre another try. I'm so glad I did. Pure Barre gave me the challenge I needed, and has definitely made me stronger. It's much more fast pace and intense when compared to Barre 3. In choosing a barre class, it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a less intense workout with focus on longer yoga stretches, then Barre 3 may be right for you. For more fast pace and emphasis on a full body workout each class, then Pure Barre. As for other barre classes, I have yet to try Bar Method, etc. As for the studio, Pure Barre does not have showers, but I generally shower at home anyway since I don't sweat as much as I would in a hot yoga class. The studio has more of an urban loft feel with its high exposed ceiling, which I like. The other barre competitor is also nice with its spa like colors, finishes and more bathroom amenities. Some instructors at Pure Barre focus on adjusting you, to ensure you have the proper form, or even to just to challenge you. Regardless, they all provide good instructions and each class is structured to ensure you work out your whole body. This is my 3rd consecutive year, and continues to be my favorite workout. I have also introduced a few friends, and they are now hooked as well. They also tried the competitor's studio with me and agreed Pure Barre provided the intensity and challenge they were looking for. read more

Wow, I had such a great experience at this place! I recently signed up for ClassPass, and decided to try out my first Barre class. I really didn't know what to expect, but I ended up loving it (& being insanely sore from the tough workout!). I had class with Vivian, who was spectacular. She sat me down early before the class started to walk me through what to expect, and was so helpful throughout (without making me feel awkward or embarrassed for not knowing the moves yet). You'll definitely feel this workout after, and the next couple days, but it is so worth it. I can't wait to come back here! read more

If you're new to PB style barre, be advised that it's a bit more intense than Barre3. The studios don't have much natural light, and the instructors are more "ballet madame" than "yogi." I personally think you get a better workout overall and it's easier to get through because of how they divide it into sections by body part. I know that all I have to do is survive my least favorite (read: most painful) sections for 5-8 minutes before I can leave it behind for something else. The teachers manage to push you to work to your max while not making you feel bad if you can't keep up. The Queen Anne teachers and barretenders are all fantastic. Each teacher has their own style, and while I have preferences I like the fact that each class promises to be distinctly different from the last while keeping a strict format. The lobby area of this studio is a bit cramped compared to some of the others (Bellevue, U-District), but that's no bother. For those who need it there is ample parking underneath the building. read more

I have really loved my time at Pure Barre so far. I have been about 30 times over the pass couple of months and I have really noticed a difference! I have lost 4" total off my body and I am happy to say that I have found a workout that I don't dread doing, ha ha. I have had the worst time finding something to stick to and I was thrilled when I recently moved and saw that Pure Barre was across the street from me. It was meant to be! I have been to a couple of the higher level classes - the more challenging ones-and I admit that I wish all classes were at this level. Though it's true that you need to take responsibility to push yourself in these classes - only you know how hard you're working. The lower you go in your thigh work, the better your results, etc. so sometimes it's hard to make sure you're pushing yourself to your limits. But if you do, it'll definitely pay off with these classes. I've noticed the biggest difference in my abs and thighs..those sections of class definitely kick your butt more than the others! I typically take classes from Frances and Vivian and love them both! I have taken classes with a lot of the other instructors too and like all of them. What I also really enjoy about Pure Barre is that it is such a welcoming, non-judgmental group of women who are all there to work on their individual goals. It doesn't feel competitive and it's nice that everyone quickly gets "in the zone." I only wish the classes were a little more budget-friendly! But that's my only complaint. read more

I've been doing Pure Barre for almost two years and I LOVE it! I'm not going to lie, but the class is really challenging. The primary focus is to sculpt lean muscles and you feel that everyday when your whole body shakes. Over time, the class seems "easier" because your muscles get stronger and you become more familiar with the positions. One of the most challenging things about taking class for the first time is understanding the positions and the choreography. Personally, I think it takes 5-10 classes to feel like you got it down enough to not get lost in class. Class always begins with a warmup followed by arms, legs, seat, and core. Your whole body will be very sore after your first class. The cost of taking class is something to consider. I think everyone should try the new client special for $99 to see if the results you obtain are worth spending your money on. Only you can really decide if your money is well spent. Also, taking a few classes here and there isn't going to make much of a difference, so the first month is a good balance to see if this is something you want to continue. All of the instructors are definitely trained well. However, you will form your own opinions about which ones you like based on how they teach and their personalities. I've had many great experiences with Nance, Kristen, Amy, Frances, Dana, Vivian, and Sami. I would recommend building up some tolerance before taking Sami's class. As the owner, she teaches the hardest class. read more

I have only completed about 5 at this studio and it's super challenging but feels great after. All of the moves feel more natural and fluid after every class I take. A great workout! I may recommend taking a basic class that goes over all of the standards moves (lift, tuck, etc.) before jumping in so you get the most out of the session. read more

I recently started Pure Barre and I'm really liking for a few reasons. One, the poses pure barre use are very straightforward and not gimmicky. I've been to other barre places where instead of practicing, I just ended up wondering if I'm doing the right poses. At pure barre, the poses are really simple but they get the job done. Two, the instructors really pay attention to your forms and they make an effort to correct your forms. Three, I love that they offer classes specifically for forms to make sure that students get them right. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a barre class! read more

I tend to not like most exercise - I'm a couch potato for sure so "small movements" is where it's at for me - but boy do they cause impact!! I've tried Orange Theory Fitness and a personal trainer and classic Pilates and a few attempts at the "gym" - I will tell you that I have NEVER walked away with the soreness Pure Barre gave me - and I only maybe barely sorta kinda felt stronger with all those above. But 1 day of Barre improved my balance, made me actually feel stronger and feel sore in areas I forgot had muscles! The instructor was really good - perfect flow in her voice/call outs/descriptions/corrections. She was professional and sweet and great energy. I definitely felt the burn and I will definitely be back! read more

Such great workouts and I love the instructors! Every time I leave a class I really feel like I have worked every muscle in my body! I love all their ab workout as well. And its great for people who have just started or are in great shape. The instructors give great tips to help, and keep up the high energy in the class. They have great deals to sign up for online, and very accommodating to work schedules. One hint: get there early to get a good spot in class. read more

Went here on a class pass try out - very typical barre experience. Instructors are sweet and friendly and will provide individual correction for first timers but don't expect a lot of instructions if you never been to one. The studio is smaller especially with the lobby check in area so afternoon classes is super crowded when you try to get in while another class is getting out. read more

The studio offers a free week so that new clients can really get the hang of it. Although the classes move quickly the instructors are kind, welcoming and very helpful throughout class. The best thing about Pure Barre is that it's accessible to all levels of fitness and continues to challenge you no matter how many classes you've taken! This studio also features free garage parking and there's plenty of free street parking on the block! read more
