Seems like classes are typically small anyway which is nice for personal attention. It was my first ever barre class and she was great to make sure I was getting the movements right and showing me possible modifications. She was so nice and with a warm attitude and it was a pleasant experience and I definitely felt like I got a good workout. Otherwise the studio was very clean, with ample parking when I went.

Anyway, I have zero coordination skills and I'm also not the most flexible person in the world, but I certainly workout. I was once often found at HIT, Boxing, and many other classes on a near daily basis at The Edge...That being said, that gym is in Norwalk and I live in Stamford now, so it isn't the most convenient anymore, so I wanted to try something different. My friend, a Barre addict and success story, recommended I come check out a class with her... Obviously, I was thinking, how hard could this actually be? I'm just hanging on a barre for an hour and doing some weight curls. Honestly, the workout is like nothing I have ever done before, and has me using muscles I didn't even realize were there. The shaking is the real deal, and I love it. I also love only wearing socks when I workout :) Thus far I have taken classes with Stephanie and Emily, who are both excellent. I am just finishing up my month of unlimited classes, and will absolutely be purchasing more.

What a lovely studio! I came here on a Thursday evening and booked through ClassPass. It was a…read morelittle bit hard to find at first because it is so small you have to go upstairs right above Benefit. Walking into this studio is almost like walking into someone's warm and cozy home, you definitely feel right at home. There are lockers and space to put your stuff. They even have keys on the lockers if you feel like using them. The class was very challenging but I felt supported the whole way through. Though the movements seem very simple when you are just observing, performing them is a whole different story. I was sore for several days after but in the most satisfying way. I definitely want to try to come back sometime soon!

I found the class on ClassPass and as soon as I entered the studio Patty at the front desk made me feel very welcome. The studio is on the small side so while their website says walk-ins accepted, I definitely recommend registering ahead of time. My class had 10-12 people in it and that was about the limit. This really allowed the instructor to provide personalized feedback and make sure everyone had proper form. I've taken barre at a number of other studios (primarily Bar Method) and found class very similar. If you've never taken any type of barre class before, I recommend arriving the suggested 15 minutes early and making that known to the front desk and the instructor. It was clear that there were a lot of regulars and the instructor, Eve, was less detailed in her cues/movement descriptions than I'm used to. I would also suggest that she make a point to introduce herself at the beginning of class, welcome any new folks, and let them know that she's available to answer questions/if they need help. Overall though I thought she was a fantastic instructor. Very supportive, easy to follow, and nice about corrections. If I lived in the area this would be my regular barre spot for sure. Highly recommend!

I started out attending private classes with Sharon mid-pandemic and eventually progressed to group classes. Now my weekly favorites are tower class with Sharon and barre class with Andrea. You really get the feeling that teaching is their calling and they love what they do. They have a way of making "hard work" fun and really can read - and if necessary - adjust your posture or poses to maximize the impact on a muscle group. It's almost like Sharon has a sixth sense for those things! Any time I go to a class it boosts my energy and spirits -- and any time I miss a class, I feel like there's been a loss to my general well being. I can feel my body changing and strengthening for the better each week and I'm truly glad that I made the choice to join the Pilates-Barre studio!

First a couple of confessions. I am old -- really old -- but I think I am 18! Secondly, when I…read morefound Pure Barre, I was looking for a Barre Method. But today I am so glad I found Pure Barre. When you are really old and not in the best of shape (although I have always been athletic) it can be intimidating and depressing to show up at a studio filled with young people who look like goddesses, but from the very first class I felt welcomed and more importantly the instructors didn't think I was nuts. Barre is hard, very confusing at first and so fast, but good news, just about the time, I am ready to give up the class is over. The instructors make it all possible. They never let you doubt you can do it and improve. Since I started in October, going six days a week, I have lost ten pounds, but more importantly, I am seeing real results which keep me going. Ashley, the owner, runs a terrific studio with all kinds of thoughtful touches, like a charging station and a great selection of clothes and the ever-critical socks. Ashley heads up a group of instructors about whom I can't say enough. My daughter who turned me on to Barre in DC plans her workouts around specific teachers she likes, avoiding those she doesn't like as much. At Pure Barre Greenwich, the instructors are all equally good, each with differences, but never a disappointment. I give Pure Baree five stars and urge anyone in the Greenwich area to give it a try. I would recommend that you take a few classes back to back to get the hang of the system which will help you get into the groove and keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
