Pure Barre

I just finished up my first Pure Barre class, and, I must say, I am quite disappointed. The staff here is very friendly and nice and showed me around before the class started, and the studio is very nice and clean. However, if you are looking for a Barre class, please go somewhere else (I tried Cardio Barre and it’s amazing).
The class is an hour long, and we literally touched the bar for no more than 10 minutes, and for the exercises that we actually used the bar for, they could’ve been done without the bars. The rest of the class was a lot of core exercises on the floor. It was more of a core pilates class than a Barre class. The instructor was really nice, but she didn’t pay too much attention to make sure everybody was getting the most out of their movements. I was slacking a lot on my «tucks» because I was bored.
I was really looking forward to using my 2 weeks unlimited Groupon, but I really don’t think I’ll be going back.

I signed up for a 6am class via Class Pass. Although the teacher seemed nice, I showed up at 6:02am and was told to leave. They told me there were too many rules to go over. Just to put things into perspective, this is an exercise class I paid for. If I want to show up for the first 5 minutes or the last 5 minutes that is my perogative. Also, I can read. If she just gave me the terms and conditions to look over I would do them and then join the class. Un accommodating.

Awesome workout! This is a great studio – clean, organized, air-​conditioned (important!). Love all the instructors and front desk staff. I was brand new to barre, and the instructors gave me personal attention to correct my form and explain all of the exercises. They’re really positive and motivating! I always felt energized after class.
The online class sign-​up is easy, but I also never had a problem getting a spot if I just walked-​in. The regular-​priced classes are expensive, but I got a 2-​week groupon then bought the new client special ($ 100 for one month of unlimited classes). I’m hoping another deal will come out so I can afford to get back to the barre!

A bit over six weeks postpartum after delivering my #2 baby via c-​section, I was desperate. I felt like I needed to start something but I did not know what to do. I had a pretty high risk pregnancy so I stopped all kinds of workouts. So of course, I was completely out of shape by the time I delivered the baby. I ran across Pure Barre’s two week groupon deal and thought to myself, this is probably pretty low impact and would be gentle to my recovering bod.
As a total newbie to the barre, I had no idea what to expect when I went for my first class. Geri immediately made me feel welcomed and at ease. She said that this is not a competition and I can take it at my own pace. There were so many people who are very fit and are good at these exercises, so the key to survival is not to get discouraged! These barre classes are no joke! After the first class I was shaking and I barely made it home. But I wanted to go back. After each class, I found it easier for me to recover and I felt that I was getting more achieved at each class. I made it to a total of five classes. The groupon deal is really a steal as long as you are committed to get to as many classes as your body (and your schedule) would allow you.
Too bad that I will be going back to work soon and there is no other package that meets my needs at this point… (I work in DTLA.) They do have a new mother’s deal for $ ³⁷⁵⁄₃ months of unlimited classes! I’d go for it if I wasn’t going back to work.

I am just about to finish up my first month of unlimited classes at Pure Barre Redondo Beach. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the studio and the staff here. I am not an athletic person and have never enjoyed working out. Pure barre keeps me motivated and makes the hour go by so quickly! All of the girls are so nice and helpful– always helping out with form and giving words of encouragement. If anyone is considering trying out barre, I would highly recommend Pure Barre Redondo Beach!

Used a groupon to try out this place for two weeks and the workout didn’t disappoint at all! The two instructors I had were very nice and since I had never done this before, they made sure I was doing it right.
Only four stars because their schedule is very limited! Some days the last class in the morning ends at 11 and the first class in the evening is not until 4. I was only able to do 3 classes because of this reason :(

I swear by Pure Barre. No other workout (running, spin, pilates, yoga) can do for my body what Pure Barre does. I have been taking for over 2 years and it never gets old and every class is still challenging. Each class/​instructor is different and I’m always sore afterward. I have more muscle tone, I have lost inches and lbs., and it has made me much more flexible.
If you haven’t tried it yet you should– you won’t regret it.

I swear by pure barre and am a great advocate for many reasons; but that said, is not for everyone.
You have to be comfortable pretty much doing kegel exercises upon the instructor’s command in a mirrored studio/​room full of other sweaty girls (ive yet to have any males in class, and rarely anyone beyond the «real housewifey» age) all working out for that booty, thighs, abs, and arms. If this works, then pure barre is the best toning workout I have tried so far. I can’t say that it is the best weight-​loss workout, although it can’t hurt, but the combination of ballet/​pilates that is specifically designed for lifting your butt and toning your body actually works if you keep at it at least 3x per week for about 2 months to see actual results.
I hate cardio and would rather go hungry from time to time to stay skinny. So if you are on the lazy side and not the most athletic (like myself) but need to tone to fake it like you actually work out– this is as good as it gets. Mostly because the instructors are more or less all attentive/​know what they are doing, they play club/​mild edm music to make sure you dont mentally and physically slack off, and you feel ridiculous for being in there that you end up getting into this idgaf mode of just tuck, tuck, and tucking til you’re shaking. And shaking is apparently indicative of your flab disappearing.

Totally awesome workout. Seriously takes focus, balance and core strength. Although I’m still a newbie to barre exercises I can say that I already feel stronger and I’m standing up straighter.
The studio is extremely clean and organized. The class sizes are also pretty small maybe 15 at the most allowing for ample space to spread out.
I have only taken classes with Julie as the instructor and I can truly say she is a fitness professional. She is so patient and full of great tips. She has the entire routine choreographed from the lights to the music this allows for a very seamless transition between exercises. I also love her phrase «you are here to finish» every time I hear that I perk up and try harder giving it my all.
Although I came here using a group 39 for two weeks unlimited classes the prices without the groupon are reasonable 24 a class or 100 a month. I believe they also run a special promotion for new members.
Excellent workout — still feeling it!

I had always wanted to try a barre workout and decided to go to Pure Barre. Yes, I am certain that this would whip me into shape. The staff seems excellent welcoming and friendly. The studio is pristine. The patrons fit, bright, and shiny.
The goal of most of the barre exercises was to tuck and squeeze the pelvis without moving it more than about a half an inch. I spent an hour of torture with my legs shaking and me cursing under my breath. I checked the clock every two minutes in disbelief that time could move so slowly.
I think I am the square peg as I just don’t think its the right workout for me. Who knows, maybe I will get courageous and try barre class again.
In the meantime, I count the fact that women are compelled to spend their free time in this way as further evidence that God is not a woman.

I’m hooked! Been taking classes here for a while, and I always get a good workout. I injured my knee skiing over the holidays and had to bag the workouts for a while. I was so bummed I couldn’t workout for a while. As soon as I was cleared to workout again, I was back at it. It took some time, but I am so happy with the results! Prices are fair, staff is cool, instructors know how to push you, and the studio is nice. I’ve tried other types of workouts in the past, but I’ll always stick with this.

I bought the 2 week unlimited groupon and was scared to try it because I have done both cardio barre and pop physique and I didn’t know what to expect from pure barre.
IT IS AMAZING! For any of you out there that have done pop physique, it is very similar. I couldn’t say which is better. I love them both!
It is nothing like Cardio Barre, which I found to be way too fast paced and did not pay attention to detail.
Everyone that works at Pure Barre is super kind and welcoming! The owners are there almost every time I am there and will take time out of their own work out to help me and my friend! Even when they are the students in the class! (Im the type that likes to be corrected! oh and then at the end of class the instructor will go around and help you stretch a little deeper, which i love!)
On our first day my friend explained that she had never done a barre class and the instructor gave her a detailed explanation before class and helped her consistently through her first class.
I have gone almost everyday out of the two weeks and I can already see an insane difference in my body. So much tighter, hardly any muffin top, and I feel much stronger!
If you are looking to feel and look better and aren’t afraid of a HUGE challenge you should go to pure barre! Warning: your body will shake and you probably won’t be able to walk that well after the second day because you are so sore. But that’s a good thing!
Thank you pure barre :)

I’ve been going here for a couple months now semi-​regularly and am so happy I discovered it. It gets easier, or at least more comfortable, the more you do it and I am no longer sore after I do it… I just feel great every time, and I think all the stretching we do after each exercise really helps to not be too sore after. I love how the instructors switch things up so you’re always doing different excises, yet there are always basic warm up and cool down exercises that are consistent, so you kinda get into a routine. I should also say that I HATE exercising, and yet I love this. So anyone can do it! I’ve definitely noticed results as well. I feel great, I look more toned, and the only thing I hate about it is that I didn’t start doing it sooner! I love it :)

I am no a huge fan of gyms and so forth, however I am a runner and needed more attention to my core. I read an article on Pure Barre and decided to pay $ 100 for unlimited class for the first month. My first class I was hooked!!!
I love that when you walk in, all the girls greet you with a warm hello. The place is very clean which for me is a huge plus in my book. I attend Pure Barre 5 days a week and I only go at certain time slots. My favorite teacher thus far is Tiffany, she is very sweet and welcoming into her class and she gives you a really great work out, I also love that she has you applaud yourself for your great efforts in class, very encouraging!!!
I have only taken classes with certain teachers and the ones that I have had have all been great. I ended up loving this place so much that I decided to sign up for the year.
Thank you Pure Barre and Tiffany for my great work out 5 days a week, I always look forward to my classes!!!

I’ve been to my fair share of barre classes in the South Bay: Bar Method, Pop Physique, Cardio Barrie and now Pure Barre. I purchased the Groupon for the two weeks unlimited and have been to two classes so far. I’m a fan!
Right from the get-​go, the staff was extremely friendly. I appreciated the time both instructors took to introduce themselves, and the «tour» and rundown before class.
The studio is very clean, the equipment is new, and the music is good. The shape of the room is odd, but I don’t find it to be too much of a hindrance, and if anything, it spreads everyone out more so you don’t feel so cramped.
For those of you who have done Bar Method before, this is very similar, except far less pretentious. The workout is great, and I am seeing good results after only two classes. Looking forward to the next class!
FYI: Make sure to bring socks to class, and that your water bottle has a lid on it.

Pure Barre incorporates isometric moves to sculpt your body. I actually go to both cardio barre and Pure Barre because they work out your muscles in such different ways! Barre is challenging, but after a few weeks, you’ll start to see big results. The first class I went to was great because the studio owner was there and she helped me out alot.
Tiffany’s Pure Barre class on Fridays at 4:45 is my fave! She’s super sweet but will work your booty, legs, arms, and abs. The music she plays during class is uppity enough to keep you going. I like to end my week with this class and let my muscles rest over the weekend.
Overall, the studio is clean and all the teachers are hands on to make sure you’re doing the moves right. Bring socks, water, and wear legging pants.

I am so glad I purchased the Groupon deal and found this studio!
I have attended 5 classes now and love the studio, the instructors, the front desk receptionists. I love it all!
The workout is great — especially when they use the double band! I wish all the classes were done with the double band!!!
If you want to attend a class that motivates you to push yourself then this is it!
Everyone in class is nice, the instructors are super friendly and don’t intimidate you. When they are correcting your form they turn their microphones off so no one else can hear. The two ladies at the front desk have been nothing but nice and helpful to me. I haven’t had too many instructors but Laura is my favorite because she taught my first class. I love how encouraging she is — she makes me want to do a better job and give it nothing less then 100%!
The one bad thing was the schedule of the classes — it isn’t the best since they don’t have any early morning classes but I found out on my second class that they are adding in early morning classes for those who work!

Its a very clean studio and everyone is very kind and patience.
I have taken a couple of classes at Pure Barre and I just love instructors Michelle and Laura. They make sure you are using the proper techniques during class. By the end of the class I had a good workout burn .The class was different from my usual Zumba class I usually take. Pure Barre class has allot of standing on the tip of your toes and pulsing. Tucking in your seat to tone your butt and not to mention pulling in your stomach to tone your abs. A hard workout but well worth taking the class.

I just left class with Laura, and she did an amazing job! I have been taking Pure Barre for months now at Pure Barre Phoenix, and while on vacation in Manhattan Beach, I decided to try out the Pure Barre Redondo.
Right when I walked in, I was great by a lovely woman named Mary Ann. We chatted for a bit, and she let me know where everything was. She was very nice and helpful, and I appreciated her friendliness.
The instructor, Laura, was great! She did. Great job explaining some of the more difficult techniques, and she made sure everyone was on the same level. She was very energetic and kept up a great, positive vibe.
The studio itself was very clean and tidy, and very spacious. Everything was stored accessibly, and there was no clutter at all. I only wish that they had more apparel to browse through (I’m a sucker for Wildfox).
This Pure Barre was fantastic, and I encourage all Unilocalers in the area to give it a try. I go 5 days a week, and I have seen drastic changes in my happiness and energy level, as well as my waist line! Keep up the good work Pure Barre Redondo!

Location, facilities and staff are good, but the workout is just ok. To be fair, I’m not a huge fan of Barre-​type workouts, but in comparison to the other ones I’ve done, I’ll have to say this one doesn’t rank as high. I just don’t feel like I got much of a workout afterwards.
Location — it’s located in the Whole Foods shopping center. Not sure why, but if you google map the address, you get directions further south.
Facilities — all the equipment and the studio are very very clean! They have a nice closed off area for you to securely store your personal belongings, and they also have a changing area.
