He finishes each practice with original ad hoc guitar and song. Lovely. It is such a unique studio that I wish could be exported and expanded. This is a hidden gem in Rochester.

Pure Barre Rochester is an amazing workout studio! I have joined for the last two + years and I…read morehave been obsessed. It's a low impact workout and it has different classes with varying workout styles so it's been great to get to choose what class I feel like each day. I love how my body has felt and I have looked toned and thin. It's been a great social community of women. I've always had amazing teachers who care about you and always are encouraging and help your form. It's so nice to work out with other women of different ages. Excellent and highly recommended to anyone!

Super cool! The people who work here are really nice and…read morethere's a lot of different grades to climb. 5.5 to 5.13. There is an easy kid section, a boulder, and auto-baleys everywhere. The gym room upstairs is small, but there are plenty of things in it. Also upstairs is a hangboard with a book that has routines to follow. They have different style yoga classes almost every day. Great place to check out for a day or train everyday.

Great facility! I'm new to rock climbing, but it seems as though there are a variety of walls for…read moreall levels of experience. I went during a day when school was out for break, so there were a TON of kids there by the time I was done climbing, but everyone did a good job of taking turns and not hogging walls, so I was still able to get plenty of climb time in. You don't have to pass a belay test before using the auto-belays, just watch an instructional video on how to use them. Staff is available to show you how to partner belay if you'd like.

AMAZING 90 minute massage & coconut summer scrub with Chris. Holy guacamole that was wonderful!! $200 but no tipping so reasonable (although I would have loved to tip Chris.) He gave we a wonderful overall service while also focusing on problem areas. His medical knowledge was apparent and appreciated. Now I'm going for a soak in the hot tub then shower. Robes, slippers, beverages & excellent products provided. Easy walk here from anywhere downtown. I'm going to book for my return trip in August. 10 stars!! (I wasn't able to use the workout facilities unfortunately as part of my trip.)

Clean, minimalist studio - TONS of extra activities if you're so inclined. I can usually get in and out of a training session in a little over an hour. After 3 months I feel fantastic! Become more aware of my activity level and the amount of food I am eating. It's not a pressure environment, I really feel like my best interests are being tended to. Not the least expensive place to work out, but as the saying goes: you get what you pay for.

The RAC is an athletic club in NW Rochester offering a gym, swimming, and tennis facility…read more The pros: this club is the best family club not only in Rochester, but basically anywhere. The programming, facility, and staff in the kids club are second to none. If you have children, this is one of the best resources in the area and well worth the membership fee. The cons: the parking lot is large, but in -30 weather, it would be nice if there was a covered option. Overall, the RAC is a must for families. Highly recommend!
