Despite her youthful appearance she literally has decades of experience teaching Pilates and each year goes to conventions to refresh her knowledge and pick up any new information. She is a skilled and patient instructor with whom it is a pleasure to work. Years ago I was literally on the verge of back surgery when I met Angie and took my first lesson. Needless to say, I avoided surgery, was able to play golf again and limited back spasms to once or twice a year instead of twice a month.

Each class type is taught by personable instructors who are experts in their field. The students are diverse, including ages, sizes, and experience! You will feel comfortable here even if, like me, you haven't been to a fitness studio in eons. I've taken 10 classes now and can't say enough great things about owner / instructor Andrea and the community she's built here.

Tina to be specific is worse! Her approach is unhelpful and antagonistic. Despite my attempts to explain, she interrupted me repeatedly. This experience ultimately led me to cancel my membership. I have also observed that Tina's interactions with other members differ significantly, particularly in how she greets individuals. This has made me feel unwelcome and disrespected. So if you're not part of the click don't even sign up!!!!!

I come mainly for Zumba, it's fun shaking out the blahs and getting some cardio exercise in. And if you're not smiling by the end of class, then you're doing something wrong. I've been to Kymberlee's and Tyler/Zac's class. Kymberlee has been in fitness for-ever, a major player for Bally's and Bull's Cheerleader. I have known her for years and her personality really shows when she's teaching the class. Tyler/Zac's class is also a lot of fun...quite different for me to have two instructors during class, but it helps when the routines are new and you get two different views to follow. The music is sure to get you dancing. Like I said, it's a smaller studio, but I like the feel to it, you get to chat with the instructors and they really try to get to know you too. Payment wise, they offer drop-ins, punch cards or unlimited passes per month. Totally worth the price of admission. Great place to channel your inner Fly Girl!

Well, once you look beyond the marketing scheme of it all, you'll see it for what it is : cliquey, disingenuous, simply a ploy -- headed by women who have no real lives and no friends in real life so they create their own little high school bubble. "Be yourself, judgement free" -- it is anything BUT as many of them routinely make fun of a girl who is a bit rhythmically off beat and out there. It's really all about the so called "cool girls" here ; some see this and do not play into it but many perpetuate it by willingly participating or failing to say / do anything to the contrary. In my opinion, most of them are minions of the owner, they don't think for themselves ; so take these "follower" reviews with a grain of salt. You may feel as if you have found a true gem, a feel good gym, and you are more than a walking dollar sign here but alas, it simply boils down to the almighty dollar. Do yourself a favor and continue to research and find an establishment that actually practices what they PREACH.

I'm…read morean entrepreneur with a super busy schedule and Pure Barre' classes do not accommodate for people with busy schedules. I was unable to find classes that fit with my busy schedule so I tried to cancel and they 1) are forcing me to pay for an additional month because apparently that's their policy so BUYER BEWARE, 2) despite me not using any of the classes they still are charging me, 3) I have been stalked by Pure Barre Park Ridge staff with texts, emails, phone calls, and voicemails that I owe them money. Pure Barre seems to do business just like a bill collector would and their policies are for their own good - not the customer. The classes themselves are fine but I would never recommend this company to anyone because of their cancellation policy, their bill collection nature, and their limited choices of classes. FYI if you need to cancel and they're giving you a hard time just tell them you're moving out of the area because according to their policies that's the only way you can get out of their contract without a penalty. They also don't tell you when you sign up that you're obligated to essentially purchase 2 months of classes. They were NOT transparent at all about this when I signed up. They push you on the $79 introductory deal but fail to mention everything else. I do not recommend.
