“After having three children in three years I feel stronger and more physically fit than I ever have since beginning Pure Barre."

I decided to take my first Pure Barre class after a friend had gushed to me about how it is the most wonderful and challenging workout she has ever had. I was a little reluctant because I had no idea what the class entailed and I had never really enjoyed taking group classes. I am so glad that I tried it because it really has changed my body and the way I view working out. After having three children in three years I feel stronger and more physically fit than I ever have since beginning Pure Barre. It is the most enjoyable and fulfilling workout I have ever experienced. The best part about the Pure Barre technique is that anyone can do it and feel great about what they personally achieve in each class. Thank you to Allison and the Pure Barre instructors for pushing us to work our hardest and for bringing this to our community for all of us to enjoy.

“I’ve seen my body change from that of a thin (and shapeless) runner to that of a well toned and trim athlete."

A friend who attended class regularly first introduced me to Pure Barre. As I drove to my first class I was confident that as a “fit” five-time marathon runner the class would be a mediocre challenge at best. Boy, was I wrong! That class challenged my body in ways that running didn’t. I was thrilled that it focused on all major muscle groups. I was delighted by the atmosphere, tone, and encouragement of the instructor. And yes, it was FUN! I knew I had to make Pure Barre a regular part of my marathon training and workout routine.

A year and two marathons later, I’m still attending class three days a week. I’ve seen my body change from that of a thin (and shapeless) runner to that of a well toned and trim athlete. I am noticeably stronger which has resulted in increased endurance. I have realized that while running is important for cardiovascular health, the body still needs the benefits of strength training to perform at its best.

As a runner I am familiar with the “runner’s high” . . . . .that euphoric feeling some people experience during or after running intensely for long distances. However, I never expected to have similar feelings after a Pure Barre class! I’m so appreciative of the instructors in Saginaw who challenge us each and every day, and encourage us to push ourselves harder than we did the day before. I will continue to come back for more!

“I had been looking for something to spice up my workout routine."

"A good friend, and Pure Barre devotee, took me to my first class. I had been looking for something to spice up my workout routine. At the gym, I just wasn’t motivating myself to work in the way Pure Barre does. The fun, efficient, challenging, encouraging method of training was exactly what I sought to find. And when I can’t make it to class, I just throw in the DVD and get in my Pure Barre workout wherever I am. I am so excited to hear that Pure Barre is expanding so I can encourage my friends and family to take Pure Barre classes close to home… and in the meantime, I’m sending DVDs to them all!"

“I wholeheartedly enjoy Pure Barre!"

"I have been taking Pure Barre for four years now and I take classes three times a week."

"Pure Barre has effectively sculpted and toned my body into a coveted physique, while I have developed and maintained flexibility."

"Pure Barre is not partial to gender or almost any age. Anyone that desires an intense workout would benefit physically. The Pure Barre movements allow me to personally gauge and challenge my physical strength. I think Pure Barre is very effective in working every muscle intensely without the aid of the workout machine at the fitness centers. I am always invigorated after a workout!”
