Pure Barre in Homewood is my go to spot and I like how it's very cutesy, very mindful, very demure :) The instructors make sure to learn your name before class and do a great job at helping you adjust your form to get the intended impact of each move. They're also good and shouting people out throughout class to help keep us motivated. I've tired both the classic class and define classes. The classics kick my butt the most but define isn't far behind. I like how each class is different and helps you get stronger in different ways. I honestly hate the idea of sweating and intentionally being in pain, so I motivate myself with cute outfits and post workout treats, like a smoothie from Farm Bowl. I feel like I get my money's worth every single workout and I can feel myself getting stronger each time. I can now hold a 30 second plank and use the weights much more easily, but it took awhile and I still have plenty of room to grow. Bonus points for the friendly, girl power environment!

I have never tried any other barre classes around so I don't have a lot to compare to but this is an exciting part of my fitness routine. I definitely recommend this gym!

The studio I visited is conveniently located in Mountain Brook and there is ample parking on the street in front of the studio. There is some cute retail clothing located at the front of the studio, and it was very clean and maintained. The front desk was so incredibly friendly when I arrived at MPOWER, and the instructor I took, ET was so nice and helpful. This is your standard, full-body 50-minute megareformer class, but ET offered modifications throughout the class for those who needed them. You get a great workout, burn a ton of calories, and you'll be sore the next day! Best of all, your first class is free! Highly recommend this place for anyone in the Birmingham area.

All the ladies that work at this studio are super nice and helpful! They are on the second floor of The Battery. You walk in and you can place your stuff in the cubby holes and change shoes/into sticky socks. You initial your name at the front desk, and they also have a mini-storefront with things like clothing and accessories. The studio is impeccably clean! You have weights, straps, TRX straps, balls, the coolest foldable yoga mats, and these little round foot pads that they use to work out in. I have been to a couple of classes including their Fusion and Express (shorter) classes. The first class was challenging to me, but later on I really enjoyed these classes. They usually offer several morning classes from about 5am-8am, a noon class, and the afternoon classes are usually from 3pm-6pm. I usually pick the noon or early afternoon classes cause I'm just not a morning person lol. They also provide such an uplifting environment! I always feel so great after class and look forward to it so much.
