The instructors are always nice and motivating during my classes. They never make you feel like you're not doing enough in the class. Everyone is welcoming!

They opened in the middle of the pandemic, but that really has not stopped their growth of clientele. I'll start with safety. Everyone is spaced out and has their own machines and dumbbells to use. They do a cleaning after each class and you have to wear your mask to move about the class or be in any other space of the building. I have always felt very safe while in there and I am one who is definitely paranoid about the virus. Now, moving on to the workouts. It's basically a high intensity work out for an hour. You spend 15 minute increments on the floor with weights and on the treadmill- two times for each. No class is the same and no instructor is the same. I love that because you're getting a different experience every time you walk in the door. Your body will constantly be challenged because of this also. I will say that each instructor is very motivating and great at pushing you to be your best you inside and outside of the classroom. None of that "earn what you eat" mess. That's the number one thing that keeps me coming back. I've been to a lot of other gyms in the city and this one takes the cake. Check them out!

I'm a very frustrated parent…read more We've been coming to this gym for years, and it's been my son's favorite place to play basketball and see his friends. Recently, the club manager scheduled a meeting to discuss his behavior. During that meeting, several serious allegations were presented, only for me to later learn that my son was not even present for some of the incidents referenced. Despite this, he was suspended. When I followed up to contest the decision, it was acknowledged that he was not involved in some of the allegations. However, there was no apology or correction, and the suspension was still upheld based on an incident that occurred approximately six weeks ago. I'm sharing this because I would encourage other parents in similar situations to ask questions and seek additional context, as it felt like my son's perspective was not fully considered. My concern is not with accountability, but with fairness, accuracy, and how the process was handled. Unfortunately, this experience has been very disappointing for our family.

I have been an SOSer for 5 years now. Which makes it shocking that I'm just now getting around to…read morewriting review, especially since I'm such a mega-fan! I first heard about SOS from a few folks when I worked at L Brands. They had a few loyal customers with whom I worked. To be honest, I was a little intimidated when I'd see these folks post about their workouts on social media. I had thought about trying it circa 2017, but was too intimidated (my loss!). But in 2019, I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training. I was able to barely finish my training for the NYC Marathon, which I did successfully complete in November 2019. But at that point, it was evident that I couldn't just keep running marathons without incorporating strength training into my routine. So in Christmas Week 2019, I started with the 7 class starter pack just to try it out. I even joined Team Tread (their half & full marathon training program)in their Columbus location in January to start training for the Nashville Half in April 2020. Unfortunately for me, my SOS morning routines were abruptly halted in March 2020. But luckily, my team tread registration got me into the "digital studio" which I had no idea what it was at the time. I very quickly uncovered that it's all the same studio instructors and they have recorded classes with new uploads almost daily as well as a huge library of online classes (which as you can imagine has only grown in the past 5 years). I did what everyone else was doing and immediately ordered as many dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment to build up a "home SOS studio" and my equipment has been growing ever since. I moved to Arizona in summer 2021, and have continued to be a dedicated Digital Studio user and advocate. Whenever I come home to Ohio (whether Cbus or Cincy), I get giddy at the thought of going to classes in person and it's a treat to choose which classes I'll take and with which instructors. I can honestly say SOS Digital Studio has helped me get in the best shape of my life. I feel like I personally know all of the trainers (I don't have social media anymore, but when I did, I followed all of them, so again, felt like I kew them personally). When I was in Hawaii for my wedding, SO many people were asking me about my arms and complimenting me. I kept trying to tell them about the DS and how special SOS is. I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan. It's become such a part of my routine that I'm on Christmas Break now with my husband in Kansas (where he's from) and I've brought my ankle weights, light weights and loop bands just so I can get some classes in. Thank you, Gretchen and team for helping me be the best version of myself every day! Can't imagine what I'd do without the DS and my SOS training crew! (Only word of advice to newbies- the System DOES work! Don't skip out on any classes. As you can imagine, being a marathon runner, I favored all of the cardio classes. But it wasn't until I really started incorporating High & Tight as I prepared for my wedding that I noticed the chiseled arms that I'd always wanted. It's a well-rounded program that works wonders as long as you incorporate ALL of the classes). Particularly about the Cincy location, I love the rooms they have (1 dedicated to The Course, 1 for Ebb and High & Tight and another for In The Mix and Control). You can tell it was built after the Columbus locations! I also have only been here about 7 times total (since I'm more from the Columbus area). But both instructors Tyler and Emma have remembered me. Emma is for sure my favorite instructor. I was super spoiled this past Thanksgiving and had her for three straight days of classes! Oh how I wished I lived closer!

Pure Barre in Oakley is a beautiful studio with fantastic classes…read more I am about 16 classes in and that is about how long it has taken for me to figure out what is going on (in a good way). The instructors are really great about helping with adjustments so you get the most out of movements- so if they are giving you lots of adjustments in the beginning that is totally normal. I am down 1/2 inch in my waist and feel strong. I also have more energy. I am also waking up muscles and learning to recruit them. The studio is beautiful. Immediately when you enter, shoes go to the left. There is a variety of clothing, including "sticky socks" or "grip socks" which are needed for class (you can buy these ahead of time or in store- they run about $18). There are also skincare and other fantastic smelling items from a woman owned brand (this Pure Barre is woman owned too). Towards the back is the check in desk. The barretender and instructor will greet you there. Be sure to tell the instructor you are new (if you are) so they can pay special attention on your form. There is a bathroom all the way to the back. To the front right is the studio, and behind it are lockers and equipment. A whiteboard will show equipment needed (and this is wiped down at the end of class). The class itself is fantastic; there are 4 total formats; they move quickly and have great music- it's completely normal to shake- in fact it is a good sign. Classes somehow fly by for me- and I usually do get an endorphin rush. Instructors are high energy and super nice. They give clear instruction and do an excellent job of making sure your form is at its best. Other clients are super nice and if you let them know you are new, they are very motivating; some of them are thousands of classes in! If you are on the fence about whether to give Pure Barre in Oakley a try I would definitely recommend it- and if you stick with it you will love it!

They push us to keep working and call out our successes in class. Once you start going regularly they call you by name during class, and they're always there to help you modify exercises if you need to. If you want a great workout from teachers who care professionally and personally, then this is the studio for you! They have done an incredible job adjusting to the reality of COVID-19, too. We have classes online that we can watch anytime, and they interact on the Facebook page with workout tips, life updates, and funny content. I can't wait to go back for classes at the studio, but they are doing awesome using the platforms online, too! Thanks Pure Barre Oakley for making working out fun!

Despite following their process correctly, I was still charged monthly from September 2025 through April 2026. When I contacted them, management confirmed in writing that my membership had, in fact, been canceled back in August. So they were clearly aware my account was closed, yet instead of contacting me about any supposed issue, they continued billing me month after month. I was then told the charges were for personal training, which I reasonably believed had been canceled along with my membership. Again, I canceled IN PERSON with their staff. There's no reasonable explanation for canceling a membership while leaving other services active without clearly disclosing that at the time of cancellation. Even after all of this was acknowledged, the personal training manager refused to refund the $930 that was charged after my cancellation. This is completely unacceptable. I followed their cancellation policy, and they continued taking money from my account anyway. It feels like a tactic to keep charging customers under the guise of a separate personal training contract, rather than clearly canceling everything at the time of membership termination. Based on my experience, I would not recommend joining Crunch Fitness.
