It's my money and my workout ‍. They are not paying for my membership. It's my loss not theirs if I don't get full use of what I pay. I'm sorry but I think it's BS!. Controlling the time that people can participate in a class is not a great idea because people have different schedules. The gym owners and instructors need to be more flexible.

I've practiced barre at this amazing studio for many years, but after a serious back surgery, it truly became my haven during recovery and beyond. The owner, teachers, and staff are all phenomenal. They are incredibly talented and create such a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where you can build strength in both body and mind. If you're new to barre, this is an incredibly wonderful place to begin your practice.

For the first time, I'm intentionally putting my health first -- and the investment has been well worth it. What I appreciate most is that the workouts are challenging without being intimidating. I never leave feeling defeated or so exhausted that I dread coming back. The format allows you to push yourself at your own pace, with a strong foundation in controlled, calisthenics-based movements. I also value the focus on balance training, stretching, and mindfulness. It really is a complete, well-rounded workout. Most of all, Julie, the instructors, and the women I've met here are incredibly supportive and welcoming. I'm so grateful I found this community, and I look forward to continuing my journey here.

I started over a year ago when I had a family situation that was taking a mental toll on me and the Bar Method Clayton Valley was exactly what I needed both mentally and physically. This community of women, both instructors and members, are welcoming, amazing, and strong.

I am new to fitness classes and new to Pure Barre. I chose Pure Barre after chatting with a friend…read morewho attended classes. I was looking for a cross training activity to help me improve my balance, flexibility, and strength, especially in my core. These classes check all of those boxes! That said, I have been delighted to find such a welcoming place full of capable, friendly, and patient instructors who are willing to help me learn and improve my form. The Pleasanton studio is clean and well organized and it is easy to schedule or change classes through their app. But really, the people who teach the classes, and those who attend them, make a difference with their positivity and encouragement. A bonus benefit (for me at least) is the mental workout I get too. I need to focus and concentrate during the workouts; both on getting my form correct and on the instructions given during the class. I like the variety of class formats offered and the ever-changing exercises done within each class. The variety keeps things fresh and helps me stay engaged and challenged. I want to stay fit and healthy as I age and Pure Barre classes will help me do just that.

This workout is extremely challenging but I felt my core getting stronger + it's FUN. I had to cancel my membership bc of expenses, but I plan on rejoining this summer because I miss it so very much. If you're looking for a judgment free / low impact exercise, this is the place. All the instructors are welcoming and sweet, but they're great at providing feedback on your form without making you feel icky.

This studio is stellar in every regard - leagues above other barre studios I've attended. I began…read moretaking classes here in 2012. At that time, I was either dancing and/ or running every day of the week. Once I began taking class, I noticed a difference in how my body held itself up; my core strengthened and my performance in my other activities improved. The Bar Method strengthens the entire body through small isometric movements, using your own body weight, as well as small handheld weights. After you work each body part, you stretch it; the practice leads to increased muscle strength, as well as greater flexibility. The practice focuses on alignment and posture, so while the hour long workout is rigorous, it is also low impact and exceedingly safe. In 2020, I moved back to Walnut Creek and had my daughter. Two years later, I returned to Bar Method and felt the classes helped me reconnect to my body. Making carrying around a squirrelly toddler much easier. Not only that, but the studio brought with it a sense of community, and the onsite childcare made my re-entry to Bar a possiblity. The co-owners, Chelsea and Audrey, are delightful human beings. They set the tone for the studio. The instructors are brilliant, many of whom have been teaching there for over ten years. It's an inclusive, welcoming environment. I could not recommend more whole heartedly.

Over the past few years they have expanded and developed various formats, such as Bar Cardio, Bar Flow, Bar Pilates, Bar Strength and Bar Restore. While I am a huge fan of the classic bar method exercises and format, it is wonderful to have a variety of classes to choose from and change it up every week. Bar Method is such a regular part of my daily life, that I can't imagine being without it. The exercises target such small specific muscles that support the larger ones, and I believe I've less prone to injuries because of these work outs. I strongly encourage anyone who is curious to give it a try!!
