Jackie S.

Where are you originally from? Yorktown, NY, about an hour north of NYC, but I moved to Winston Salem from Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2019. How did your Pure Barre Journey Start? I had recently moved to Winston Salem, was looking to find a community and a good work out that would get me out of the house as I work from home full-time. I took my first class and haven’t looked back since! How long have you been with Pure Barre Winston-Salem? About 3 years. What is your favorite part about Pure Barre? The community- I love that there’s always a friendly face when you come to take class, and how willing everyone is to welcome new members into our awesome community! What is your favorite class format? I love an Empower and Classic class as much as the next person, but it has to be Align- I love the focus on balance and stretching, it’s such a critical part of building strength! What do you do when you aren’t a Pure Barre? When I’m not working in clinical research as a project manager, I like to travel, try new foods and take my dog Queso on long walks. What is one fun fact about yourself that you’d like to share? I’m really into football, and two years ago I started an all girls fantasy football league- it’s a big highlight of the fall for me!
