Pure Barre

This is my new favorite work out! It was so fun and I really felt the burn. I had a great instructor named Paige who really made the class that much better. Make sure you go and check out a class with her!

I started going here because I was coming off of an ankle injury and figured barre would be a good low impact workout that would also help improve my balance so I would lessen the chances of future ankle injuries. I never expected that signing up would lead to me consistently working out for the first time in my life but here I am 6 months later! While I am nowhere near hitting all my fitness goals I have noticed a big improvement in my balance and I notice that I am getting a little better in my form each time I go. The instructors are patient, helpful, and encouraging even though I’m not the most athletic person out there. I like that the classes are always challenging no matter how many you’ve attended and that there is a repetitive format so I somewhat know what to expect. Parking is also very easy which is a huge plus for me. The only con I can think of is that the lobby is a little small and classes are pretty crowded on the weekends so it can get a little chaotic at times but l’m happy to deal with it because the location is great. I never thought I’d be a 6 am workout class person but it is slowly becoming my favorite way to start my morning (pro tip: Starbucks is next door if you need help waking up!)

I'm new at Pure Barre but I'm already in love with the workout! The movements are challenging but easy to follow along with. The instructors are all amazing and have their own variations of the class which I enjoy. I 100% would and have recommended Pure Barre Alexandria to my friends and plan to continue attending.

Pure Barre Alexandria is not just a workout studio, but an amazing community! After only a few weeks the instructors and other clients know my name and always make me feel welcome in class. I also love this workout and the results I’m already seeing! The format is always the same (warm-up, arms, legs, seat, core), but the individual exercises vary so it keeps you on your toes (often, literally!).

Barre itself is an excellent workout - I’m in pretty good shape, and this challenges me every time. I would definitely recommend barre as an addition to your workout routine, or if you don’t currently have a fitness routine. Now about Pure Barre, Alexandria - Love the layout of the studio...parking is never an issue. So far I’ve only taken classes with Alyson, she’s an amazing trainer, very thorough.
