If you’re new to Pure Barre, or even barre, our Pure Barre Engage™ Intro Class is a great place to start. This small group class introduces you to the basic movements of Pure Barre workouts using low-impact, small movements that strengthen and tone your body. This class will help you discover how our technique works and feel the benefits of a full-body barre workout.

Wear pants, leggings, or capris that you are comfortable in and a workout tank or t-shirt. You will also need a pair of sticky socks (grip socks) to prevent your feet from sliding in class and for studio hygiene . You’ll remove your shoes and put on your sticky socks before entering class.* Sticky socks are available for purchase at the studio.

*Reasonable accommodations available

We’ll have all the equipment you’ll need at the studio, so just bring a pair of grip socks, water, a towel, and a positive attitude. We do ask that you do not bring your cell phone into class. If you’re expecting an important call, you’re welcome to leave your cell phone at the front desk and we’ll alert you if you’re needed.

We recommend that you arrive 15 minutes before class begins. After completing a safety waiver, the teacher will show you where you can store your belongings and show you the equipment for class – typically a set of light weights, a ball, and a tube. Your teacher will bring you a mat halfway through class.

Yes, absolutely! We have many male clients in our studios.

Consult your physician, but if you have been taking Pure Barre classes regularly, Pure Barre can continue to be a safe and effective exercise option while pregnant. Everyone’s pregnancy is different, so it is a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure he/she is comfortable with you continuing to take a class. Some studios require a doctor’s note. Make sure to let your Pure Barre staff and instructors know that you are pregnant so that we can walk you through any modifications you may need through different stages of pregnancy. As with any exercise program, if at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy, or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult a physician.

You can see & feel results in just 8-10 classes. For optimal results, classes should be taken three or more times per week.

When your body shakes, it means your muscles are reaching the point of fatigue, which is a good thing! Your goal is to have the muscle group you are targeting during a specific section of class shake every time. After the shake, you will stretch, to elongate the muscles while they are warm and malleable. This leads to long, lean muscles!

Yes! The increased flexibility, core strength, and low-impact movements of Pure Barre help prevent injury and improve endurance in those who are cross-training for a sport or race.
