We moved to El Paso only a week before getting them into their first class so they were new and taking it all in and I truly believe that this gym has helped them all adjust to a new state. As beginners they have been given the fundamentals needed to start training jiu jitsu and now they ask to be there every day. Even on the weekends they look forward to Mondays at jiu jitsu. I can't thank Coach Aldo enough for being the right balance of fun, encouragement and discipline in the most beneficial way for our kids. Thank you!

The mat space is phenomenal, everyone was very welcoming and the technique of everyone I rolled with was tight. No sloppy jiu jitsu here. If your in the area you need to come check this school out. I'm just a blue belt so I don't even know what I don't know yet but I could tell that the white belts I was rolling with had a solid understand of the basics, which means they are getting great instruction. I definitely recommend this school if your living in the area.

My son did the kids class and had so much fun. The instructor who taught him is no longer at the…read morelocation, but took the time to help and teach him techniques. After a year, my son wanted to give flag football a try. So we ended our month-to-month tuition--this was in 2015. Fast forward to 2018, and I have received multiple calls and requests to pay over $500 worth of tuition. I was told my contract kept reoccurring and I hadn't paid--which resulted in this absurd balance. Only way to "review" it is if I have the original contract and letters where I give 30 day notice of cancellation for a month-to-month agreement. So if you plan on trying this place out--make sure you DO NOT sign anything and make sure to keep your contracts for 10+ years. No original instructors stay there for more than a year. Restrooms are extremely dirty. Warehouse drips when it rains, and it's extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter. Thumbs way down.

I was impressed with the level of training everyone had and even spoke to the head professor for a bit. You can always get a good idea of a gyms culture by speaking to (and sometimes rolling with) their instructors. I love BJJ so much and to hear how much they've grown in the past few years is impressive. I'd highly recommend anyone of any level to check this place out if you're in El Paso. You won't be let down!

I've been going to Pure Barre ‍ for about 4 months, but to be honest, I've been going a lot less…read morebecause I've been so busy. What I like about them is that they let you take a FREE demo class, which is a really good mix of all the different classes they have. I then took a stretching class called "Align" that I actually fell in love with. It's the perfect mixture of yoga and resistance training, and it helps you with your posture and alignment, while still getting your heart rate up. The facilities are clean and modern, and the instructor, Erica, is high-energy and super kind. They also provide you the equipment like bands, mats, and weights, just need to clean it afterwards. They only offer classes on certain days, and the schedule is uncertain because they're in a transition period. The owner of the franchise sold it to two different owners, so now you have to get a membership at each studio, instead of being able to go to the Pure Barre here off Redd or Kern, when it was under the same owner. Other than that, the classes are high-quality, and I enjoy them. I just wish they offered more, but I understand they're a small, growing studio, and it's really close to my house, so I can't complain. I also like that there's no judgment, and you can go at your own pace. I usually modify the exercises so I don't hurt myself, because I'm so out of shape. A lot of the people who take the classes come from Pilates, which I also wanted to try, but apparently the reformer machines are kind of unforgiving, and they suffer a lot of injuries. Pure Barre is a more natural and more forgiving way to lengthen and tone your body without hurting yourself, so I'm glad I took this instead. If you're interested in trying them out, they have demos you can try. And now that the kids are going to school, I'll be going to take more classes, because it makes me feel so much better and really helps me with posture and hip and back problems that you get as you age. The classes are also pretty affordable if you buy a package, and they always run specials. -TODOELPASO

Pure Barre kicked my butt. I signed my boyfriend and I up for the Love Your Body class on…read moreValentine's Day and I still feel the burn in my abs today. PB gave us a great workout in a fun environment. I'm usually more of a studio jumper (I like going to different types of studios like yoga and pilates and kickboxing and... well, you get it). Signing up for a single class is only $20 right now. I was lucky enough to have a discount code for a free class, but I would've taken the class regardless. You can purchase single classes or memberships online, but I'd check at PB first because they might have some kind of discount going on. Our teacher was Courtney. She was awesome! She started the class by making sure we understood the lingo ("tuck" was the big one that day) and as the class went on she made sure we had the right posture and we weren't taking the easy way out any chance we got. "Find your shake" was said a lot and I did find my shake. A couple of our friends came too so I think that helped to keep us on our toes... literally. PB classes are a mix of yoga, pilates, and ballet. The ballet portion of it is more isolated standing and sitting stretches... so no, you won't be doing any pirouettes during PB. The workout wasn't so strenuous that I was near death, but between pumping weights and holding a small PB ball between my legs, every muscle in my body felt like it was working. The whole studio is in tip-top shape. In the very back there is a small locker room where you can leave your stuff and pick up weights, a band, and a ball for the class. Before the class we also picked up some "sticky socks" in the front shop area. They actually have a lot of women's apparel available like shirts, capris, and leggings. Great class, awesome instructor, and wonderful studio! I'll be signing up for more classes very soon! Oh and they sometimes have different types of events so check into those.
