I wanted to be sure the doctor's note remained in effect for the upcoming month so I was not charged. I was told it was. However, I saw that I was charged on my account.

They (the GM) said it was not noted in my account that I was told the doctor's note would carry me through the new month nor that I needed a new doctor's note. I did not document to whom I spoke. So, i had to pay for a month I could not use.

This Pilates studio couldn't have opened sooner. Sure, there are nearby gyms but the sole yoga…read morestudio closed years ago and there were very limited class-based places until now. So so so glad you guys are here and welcome to the neighborhood. The studio is brand new in a brand new shopping center. The studio itself isn't too spacious, however, with only one workout space and small check in section and storage area. So there may be some congregating before and after class but it'll thin out as the studio settles down. There's also active construction going on in the other retail spaces, which generally is drowned out by the music. If you're brand new like me, definitely take the intro class. I didn't even know how to lay down nor grab the straps before class but able to follow along the reformer flow class and felt confident to try flow 1.5 and cardio sculpt by the second week!

In group, It is uncanny how she has an eye on everyone, so you might feel a light touch on your knee to keep it aligned while she's ensuring the group is inhaling and exhaling at proper intervals to optimize your workout. In private sessions (which I am enjoying right now during the healing of my broken arm), she isolates the intended muscle(s) so no impact to the injured area. She has also helped me with my PT exercises and puts a Pilates spin on it. Even when I was uncomfortable due to chronic pain (that has subsided, thank goodness) and not at my best, she encourages me. Thank you, Everlea, for being you! So grateful!!

With a Moss green wall and a purple velvet couch in the waiting room and a great choice of equipment (reformers, cadillac, barrels, low and high chairs, foot correctors... you name it). And she has online classes available as well, so if you travel (like I do) you have some great options.

For the first time of my life I can see biceps in my arms!! (Sad, but true) All the instructors are upbeat, friendly, encouraging, and helpful when it comes to positioning the body correctly. The ONLY reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the studio the class is in does not accommodate tall people very well. While I know the ceiling cannot be raised so my hands don't touch it, the barre is a bit low and makes some exercises feel awkward.

My mind and body are very grateful for Dawn Pilates studio…read more I have needed a physical life upgrade (and mental getaway) for months now. Covid has been a beast. Thankfully, so is Pilates! Since I'm a regular at neighboring Egg Bistro, Red Chair and Elite Nails, I have seen Dawn Pilates studio a few times now and was always curious about getting back into some form of physical activity. So I checked out their website and signed up for an introductory class yesterday evening. The studio is immaculately clean and the equipment is very well kept. They have sanitizer available and the instructors wear masks during classes. As you enter, you'll find cubbies to secure your belongings right up front. Toward the back, they have restrooms and a private studio. They have a selection of activewear, socks and other accessories to aid your practice and make you feel fancy. Personally, I find that cute workout wear inspires me to work harder. You will have to sign a waiver and provide some health-related info before starting. I am glad they ask for this as, without knowledge, you can easily exacerbate injuries if you do not make your instructors aware. They also inquire about your goals and will offer suggestions about how often to practice to reach your goals. They have a variety of equipment (reformer with tower, TRX, Bosu, other mats and balls) so that your classes won't get stale and you will see continuous progress. The introductory class is no-pressure, super informative and a quick way to fall in love with pilates (for me, a 2nd time around). Brande was the instructor and guided my form during the class while also being motivating and encouraging. After we finished, she reviewed the pricing with me (again, no pressure.. thanks, Brande!) and asked if I had questions. Like hot yoga, prices are definitely an investment for memberships, but they have several options depending on how often you expect to take class and are currently offering a 10% discount until the end of the year. I asked about pay-in-full discounts and she indicated that was also an option. I expected to feel incredibly sore this morning and I do, which is such a good feeling! My wallet won't be as happy as the rest of my body though...shew! But I am certainly eager to start taking classes regularly!

If you have not done any hot exercise (hot yoga, etc) in the past, you may not feel great after your first workout - but that's because the toxins are leaving your body! Bring plenty of water (in a closely container, no open straws!) and a towel. They provide special heat resistant mats for the isometric classes (Pilates, barre, yoga just to name a few), and also offer high intensity classes such as cycling or rowing. I had a great experience doing the barre class. There is a virtual instructor on the screen guiding you through the poses. You can also schedule your own sessions via the mobile app - it's very easy to either schedule solo visits or with up to 2 friends in the same class. Also a benefit: 24 hour access to members, to fit their individual needs. Definitely a great place to promote your health and sweat it out!

They also asked me further questions, like my fitness goals, history, and health status. Walking into the studio for my complimentary Foundations Class was a little nerve wrecking only because I was the only one signed up for the class! However, my instructor Julia, made me feel comfortable that it was just her and I this evening. The Foundations Class is the initial class you should take before jumping into the three other classes they offer. I still got a full body workout with the initial class, my legs were still shaking from the intensity, I left sweaty, but I do not feel overworked. I left my Foundations Class with a new membership to Pure Barre! I'll be here 3x a week, hopefully - wish me luck with my fitness journey, y'all!

The first time I tried barre I went in thinking it was going to be easy but it's sneakily hard working out muscles you didn't even know you can work out. I brought my fiancé in who was surprised too! The more you do it, the more you can really focus on those small muscles so every class, no matter your level, makes you stronger. There are different formats that rotate through the schedule. The instructors are very helpful in correcting form, providing alternates if needed, & motivating you. Every class is judgement free with people of all different fitness levels ranging from those extra challenges to others doing the alternates due to recovery/limitations/etc. I've also ~accidentally~ done solo classes that was still very fun, motivating, & surprisingly not as awkward as you would think it would be I think I've done the most classes with Jade, Jillian, & Leslie but all the instructors are awesome. Something that I think stands out about PBNN specifically are the staff & events. I usually just do my workout & leave but the staff always greets you & makes you feel welcome. They all take the effort to learn everyone's names & it's always nice having conversations between/after classes. They also make sure to celebrate your class milestones (i.e. 10/50/100/etc). The studio also does a good amount of events including Book Club at the barre & a variety of classes at other locations in the area, which is fun to invite friends to come with. I loved my experience at Pure Barre Newport News & am sad to be moving away but just wanted to say if you want to try it out, try it out-- you might love it! And thank you PBNN team!
