our story

The Pure Barre Technique (PBT) might just be the magic potion you've been looking for. PBT fuses Lotte Berk excercises, dance, and Pilates to create the most intense and effecive 55-minute workout there is.

Pure Barre is owned by former dancer and choreographer Carrie Rezabek, who first opened a Pilates and ballet barre studio in Birmingham, MI in 2001. In 2003, Carrie trained and licensed in New York City at the Lotte Berk studio and brought the Method back to Michigan. She later revamped and refined the Lotte Berk program, resulting in the Pure Barre Technique.

PBT began its’ licensing program in 2006 and currently has licensee studios in Birmingham, Rochester, Northville and Saginaw, Michigan as well as Lexington, KY, and Washington DC. The headquarter studio is located in San Diego, California.
