I'm still pretty new to Pilates -- have been a client for ten months, and the results have been noticeable. I've seen definite improvement in core strength, balance, posture, flexibility and overall body awareness that carries into all the other things I love--running, dancing, hiking, and skiing. I'm stronger, more aligned, and more confident in my body. I can see why people keep at this practice for the long haul -- there's always more to learn! Bellevue Pilates is the real deal. If you're looking for experienced instructors, a classical approach, and meaningful progress in how you move and feel, I highly recommend this studio.

I like this a lot because I feel like I get more out of each class vs at other studios. I also like the reformers here, the springs have different levels/steps to adjust your resistance and I haven't seen this at other studios. The decor is also spectacular and aesthetically pleasing!

Arika's classes are also great and will leave you feeling so strong. In addition to the quality of instruction, the studio has the best energy! It's positive and uplifting. But you'll still be pushed to do your best ;) I came to this studio at a physical low point, and after consistently coming to Yael's classes twice a week, I now feel at my personal best. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality Pilates.

I'm so excited about the changes in my body and honestly seeing Arika each week is a true highlight.

You can't go wrong joining Pure Barre Redmond. Some reasons are:…read more1. the teachers are very interested in giving their best classes. Their enthusiasm is infectious. 2. volume of classes per day 3. variety of classes per day 4. assistance from teachers regarding questions about form and technique 5. helps getting you into your best shape with regular in-body scans 6. I really like the Define class with the heavier weights but there are classes that are more Cardio based or yoga style. There is also a class geared towards beginners. 7. the various challenges throughout the year help you set goals to achieve. 8. the owner takes into consideration her clientele's feedback on adding class formats and times that the customers would like to have.

All the staff and instructors are incredibly warm and helpful and knowledgeable. They make an effort to get to know you and remember your name (and say it correctly!). The classes are really good and follow the classic Pure Barre formula. The facility is convenient in a bustling part of town and has great parking options, so it's easy to squeeze in a class while running errands. I'm really happy to have found this spot! Note, I've been using this via ClassPass and they're moving off the platform, so you'll need to buy classes or a membership directly and they are not transferable across other locations since Pure Barre a private franchise model.

The class formats are really fun-lots of variety and each week builds on previous classes so you feel like you're learning and getting the hang of things after a week or two. Walking into the studio is also just FUN- so inclusive, fun music and lights, and super supportive instructors. My favorite classes are Bands with Elise and Dance with Chris! I feel like even after 2 weeks of consistency I already feel like my endurance is improving and I was able to advance to a more challenging resistance band in the Bands class. Looking forward to seeing results once I keep up the consistency!

I went to my first class a few weeks ago and this was the first fitness class that I thought about walking out before it ended. Don't get me wrong, the studio is awesome and has a nice vibe - the staff is super friendly as well. But this didn't feel like dancing...it was more like...how would I describe it... choreographed fitness steps for suburban housewives with no rhythm. Ah, there we go. Instructions were super fast and hard to follow, the music didn't match the vibe of the dance.... ie: attempting to dance hip hop style to a Jackson 5 song. (I use the term hip hop style loosely because I *think* that's what they were aiming for.) I'm glad I went though..I'd been wanting to try AKT for a while but learned it was not for me. I think this could be a great place for a specific demographic, though.

She has been teaching Pilates for more than 10 years and she has an intuitive sense in working with her clients. She adjusts the workout according to the condition of her client's body (think knees, back, neck, etc.). But she can give you a very hard workout also. And it is amazing to watch her on the equipment! Katie is also a licensed massage therapist. Due to her training as a Pilates instructor and as a massage therapist, Katie has learned a great deal about the human body and how it works. These traits and her natural Intuitiveness in her approach work together to make her an outstanding Pilates instructor. I highly recommend her!
