Pure Barre

Everyone that works here is so welcoming! I have taken a class with 3 different instructors at this location and every one of them have been awesome! You can tell the instructors love what they do and perfected the balance of being encouraging without being too pushy. I have a classpass but will for sure be buying more classes with this studio!

I am new to this location but not to the Pure Barre family, and when I say family I mean family. The women who work here whether at the front desk or instructing a class are so incredibly welcoming, friendly and make an effort to get to know your name and who you are. The facility is always clean and they make it very comfortable for clients trying out a class for the first time or returning to their 100^th class. They genuinely want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your workout and are very helpful when you have questions about a class or a position. I would highly recommend not only Pure Barre as your workout of choice but the Cherry Creek location as your home studio. Lift. Tone. Burn!

Disclaimer: I hate working out. I used to be a dancer and the benefit of that is getting a great workout without FEELING like you’re working out. So it has to be pretty darn fantastic/​sneaky for me to a) stick with it, and b) actually like it. During and after my first class I thought I was going to die. I didn’t think I was in terrible shape, but MAN — this is by far the hardest workout I’ve ever done. I just completed my tenth class today, and I can feel things starting to change. The teachers are all very nice and extremely helpful, and I’ve met some really great people in my classes. I absolutely believe Pure Barre’s claim that it’s the fastest way to change your body, and I can’t wait to see my results! Highly recommended.

This really wasn’t for me. I signed up with Classpass, and although the instructor asked if there was anyone new in the class, there certainly wasn’t any attention paid to instruction after that. I was confused about what I was supposed to be doing, and I’m no stranger to barre, yoga, dance or Pilates. I also found the environment unfriendly and pretentious. People seem to love pure barre, and this Friday noon class was certainly full, but like I said, it’s not for me. I won’t be back.

Pure Barre provides an intense, incredible workout. Do not be fooled by the lean, lithe instructors — their bodies are pure and ferocious muscle. After a few classes, you’ll understand where they get it.
You do not need any dance background to succeed in a pure barre class. The structured exercises rely heavily on isometric movements, and a single class will address your arms, legs, core and rear, in addition to overall flexibility. During my first few classes I watched the instructors (there’s always one instructor leading the class and usually 1 or 2 other instructors working out with the class) and by class three or four I started to recognize the rhythm and structure of each exercise. I’ve done my share of cardio, yoga, pilates, swimming, skiing and running, so let it be said that I was no exercise newbie when I signed up for pure barre. Having said that, I am continually amazed how the pure barre regimen is reshaping and strengthening my body. I’m usually dripping in sweat at the end of a class.
The Cherry Creek Pure Barre location is very convenient. You can zip in and out on Speer Ave. or University Ave. without getting caught in the Cherry Creek traffic. There is free and plentiful parking in the garage beneath the studio.
Now remember, it’s Cherry Creek. Be prepared for a solid dose of Lululemon, Louis Vuitton totes and trophy diamonds. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. I’ve never felt judged in class, and I am always pleased to see a variety of body types in class (and the occasional man!)
On that note, be prepared to fall in love with at least a few instructors. Each instructor has her own style, favorite exercises and mood inside the studio. Of the many instructors I’ve taken classes with, they are all friendly, helpful, motivating, encouraging and obviously lovely people. They’re the reason I keep coming back to this location.

Pure Barre is absolutely amazing! I began doing it about 6 months ago, and I seriously love it more and more each time. Every single instructor is energetic, supportive, and sincere, I have yet to find one that I didn’t like. As someone who tends to like to stick strictly to cardio, I feel great going to PB, as it helps with those trouble areas; butt, abs, and thighs. No joke, every single time it hurts like crazy, but I have yet to leave a class where I haven’t felt invigorated and excited.
I cannot recommend it enough!!!

This PB addict was happy to fit in a class during a recent work trip. Despite my unfamiliarity with the area, Siri/​I were able to find this studio easily. There was convenient, free parking within the small strip mall. Though I arrived later than planned (but prior to class start time), the staff was super nice in getting me checked in (note — earlier that day, I paid for class through MindBody Connect app).
Despite that I save money with my hometown studio’s membership, it’s worth paying the drop-​in fee at ‘new-​to-​me’ studios. My hometown studio is less than 6-​months old so I love checking out the «experienced» studios. Lacey’s class is popular and it’s evident by her fun personality and non-​pushy, clear instructing. Though super tough, I liked the «new» moves including the plank/​core work with weights and the burning thigh and seat work with rubber tubes. Despite their advanced techniques/​moves, brand new clients should not get discouraged; everyone is welcome to modify their work and the instructor will nicely help out with form corrections.
Though I was here just 5 days ago, it was a NICE surprise to receive a Thank You card from the studio today. I will definitely return during future Denver trips!

3 hours later and I am still feeling so good about the class this morning at Pure Barre Cherry Creek. I was definitely nervous as I walked in, everyone was in such good shape and so bendy (yes, that has to be a word!). I shrugged off my hesitation and told myself that everyone has to start somewhere.
The instructor, Mel was so amazing, she saw me struggling and immediately gave me some one on one pointers. She also acknowledged me when I was actually doing something right as well, which I made me feel that much more confident in my ability to picking up what she was instructing!
Chesney and Mel were great after class, very friendly and welcoming. I have read so many reviews and articles on how this can change your body, so I am headed back for as many classes as possible. I signed up for the 1 month introductory rate and intend to hit as many days as possible. You should definitely check this workout out! One note, the floor is carpet? Soooo, wear socks with grip so you don’t slide all over the place and you can focus on your core not on sliding while in an attempted plank position!

I suck at working out. No, literally, I can’t even get into a down dog without extreme amounts of focus. With this being said, I was more than a little nervous when I walked into Pure Barre with one of my girlfriends yesterday.
Not knowing what to expect, I donned my yoga pants, threw my hair back, and jumped right in.
Our instructor, Lacey, was great. She really took the time to make sure that my form was correct and I loved the words of encouragement that she offered to everyone throughout the class.
Some facts about Pure Barre:
1.) You will slide around like a loser without the sticky socks (I will remember this next time!)
2.) You will sweat, a lot.
3.) You will shake, a lot.
4.) You may or may not have any idea of what you are doing, but will quickly pick it up.
5.) You will feel great after and will not be able to wait to get back ASAP!

Great workout! Went with a group of ladies and it was awesome! Can’t wait to go back.

Love this place!!! All the instructors are so sweet. It’s the perfect place if you want an intense full body work out in just 55 minutes. Highly recommend this studio!

I am over 60, overweight, totally out of shape, and when I walked into my first class at Pure Barre, I had a moment of pure terror.
Everyone else in the room was younger, and every single person there was in amazing shape. I felt like the elephant in the room, literally!
I am so glad I did not leave that day.
The class was hard for me, there were many things I could not do, and it was not always easy figuring out what they were doing. I was embarrassed to be beet red, sweat pouring out of me, ect. when most of the women there were at such a different level. But when the class was over, I felt fantastic!
The next day my body did not hurt even though I could feel muscles I didn’t remember having.
I am not sure exactly when I gave up on being delighted to be strong and vibrant physically, but taking that class, although I could barely do it, reminded me in a big way that I can feel better than I do and that I want to!
I signed up for the unlimited month, and have gone as often as I can. I still can’t do much of what the rest of the class is able to, but I am stronger and feel more amazing every day.
The exercises are starting to make sense to me, and Lindsey, the owner, explained that everyone there is working hard at their own edge. She, and several of the teachers have helped me modify and adjust the exercises to the level that I am at right now.
I’ve recieved alot of personal attention and support including from some of the «perfect» other students who I was sure were making terrible judgements about me. The kindness and support makes it easier to keep stepping up to the challange of each class, and I now realize everyone is so focused on their own progress, they don’t really care what anyone else is doing.
I am so happy to have Pure Barre in my life now. It is expensive, but not when I consider all the health problems that I am not going to have to pay for later, and not when I consider how wonderful and empowered I feel each time I go. It is the best investment of an hour that I make in the whole day!
Priceless!

LOVE this place! Best work out for body sculpting I have ever tried, with real and noticeable results within a week. Seriously.

I have been a dedicated client at Pure Barre for almost 3 years now. It is by far and away the most effective workout i have ever done for my body. I have had trainers that are amazing and workouts that are so hard i thought i would die but then i tried Pure Barre. It’s touted as being a barre workout with elements of ballet strengtening but dont let ballet fool you… this is a HARD CORE workout! After 3 years of this i still find my muscles shaking from fatigue and that lets me know it is still kicking my butt. The music in class is a driving force and keeps me focused and motivated there is no time to talk or get distracted because the instructors keep you moving at a feverish pace. The instructors are the best, a lot of them have ended up becoming my girlfriends because Pure Barre is truly a place that builds you up on the inside as well as your body. I look forward to my hour there every day. It is expensive and that is really the only downfall but its a sacrafice i made because it makes me a happier person and thats worth a lot. Ladies!!! If you want to get stronger, more toned, lean, and mean look no further. I LOVE YOU PURE BARRE!

AMAZING! I love this place… it has totally transformed my body and helped me to lose 15 pounds! The staff are super friendly and it is easy to sign-​up online. The teachers that I have had are always encouraging and providing feedback to get the most out of the workout. Worth every penny!!!

I am so bummed to write this review. I thought Pure Barre was going to be amazing. I am a former dancer and barre was my favorite part of class. Incredible strengthening. Some girlfriends and I bought the Groupon and went to try it on our lunch break. Now, it could have been because it was noon on a weekday but the class was full of ladies… well let’s say I felt out of place being there on my lunch break from work. One thing I love about Yoga is the lack of judging. I feel like those yoga classes are so hard and so focused on the internal that I can’t even see the people around me much less worry about their practice. At Pure Barre I felt super judged. Did I have the right brand of clothing? Etc. Anyway, after a VERY SLOW check in process that let me feeling breathless and late for the class I got changed and onto the carpet.
Yes, I also feel carpet is weird. Every dance class, every yoga class, everything has been on marley or hardwood, etc. I felt kinda grossed out about the carpet. So we get going into the pure barreness.
There was virtually NO instruction! «Okay ladies, wrap that strap around the barre, one leg up and tuck and tuck and tuck…» Uh… tuck what? Do where? I am a fast picker upper… and this instructor didn’t slow down for a second. Yes, keep heart rate up… but I have NO idea how! Perhaps there needs to be a designated beginner class like many yoga studios have… like a PB 1. Intro class? Come on, I need directions. I am a former dancer, tell me what muscles to tuck where and I can do it. But even I was confused, not to mention my co-​worker who had no idea.
The burn is hot and I like work that pushes muscles to failure but I just felt like a failure in this class. The teach was a doll and she worked with us after class but our lunch hour was up and we had to run back to work.
I think this workout has such potential, it just needs some structure. Warn beginners that they might want to take the weekly intro class to learn what muscles to work into. Overall, this would have sent me running if I didn’t have a groupon.

I learned about Pure Barre from a fellow yogi and thought, «Heck Yes!» I had owned a DVD «The Bar Method» years ago, and loved the idea of toning muscle this way. Similar to Pilates, which I love, to isolate the muscle and create a lean tone, vs a more bulky muscle. Yet… I was unimpressed.
I enjoyed the feeling the work-​out itself left me with, and as I’ve read in other reviews, I felt everyone I dealt with was super friendly and helpful. It’s simply the atmosphere that is causing me to back pedal.
I can hurt just as badly the next day from a great yoga class or pilates time, but I FEEL better while doing it. I didn’t love the music choices, but as long as a beat was present, it kept me motivated. My biggest gripe: The method of instruction. Too fast to get accurate understanding of each of the movements. I would love to join a ‘beginner’ course over a couple weeks if they offered it. This way, I would feel I was really getting my money (and time, and suffering’s) worth.
If I could give it another ½ star, I would. As I feel this is a great workout for women in general, and it truly does target every spot you wish you knew how to get to but can’t. It’s challenging and up-​beat. But I prefer that my instructor does not holler over a wireless mic and that there were more time dedicated to doing this routine correctly.

Went back Fri night and had a much better experience, although I’d still give it 3 stars. The instructor (Abby) actually did a different routine than the last one, so maybe the classes change based on what the instructor feels like teaching. She did a good job of explaining the moves and what you needed to do to work yourself to the fullest. This class was JUST as hard as the first one, but was less crowded, which I liked. The music was still thumping which helped me push on through to the end and this time, there were people of all shapes and sizes in the class (and even a pregnant woman — i. e, a rockstar).

Maybe I’m being harsh with the two stars – I should probably rate not only the class, but the service. So, I will start off by saying that all the employees, the girl who checked me in at the desk, the instructors… everyone who worked there, was quite helpful and friendly. However, the class was… strange. It was like a mix of ballet and yoga in a room with CARPET, which I thought an odd flooring choice. The class was not very challenging and the instructions (and maybe this is because it was my first time) very confusing, so I spent most of the time looking around at other people so I could try to find out what to do. At the end, I noticed most people didn’t even work up a sweat, which is probably fortunate because the place was crammed full of women who wore makeup to a «cardio» class… the logic behind that move beats me.
Anyway, it’s $ 23.00 for a drop-​in class, and I feel that is way too expensive when I could do yoga or even a real ballet class, which actually makes me feel like I’ve had a solid workout, for less.
