I want to begin by saying that I am a long-time Pure Barre client and a genuine supporter of the…read morebrand in general. I maintain a monthly membership at my home studio and make it a point to visit other locations when I travel. In almost every city, I've experienced the integrity, kindness, and professionalism that have made Pure Barre a community I truly value. That's why my experience with the Little Rock studio was so jarring and stayed with me. Because of my ADHD and the way I travel, at one point I mistakenly signed up for pure barre monthly memberships in several cities where I don't live (Austin, Oklahoma City, Santa Monica, New York City, Boulder). Every other studio responded with understanding and integrity, immediately correcting the mistake and, in some cases, showing me firsthand how simple it was not to keep charging a client who clearly didn't reside there. But in Little Rock, the owner, unlike the thoughtful women who run the other studios, insisted on continuing to charge me. This was not just a clerical oversight. It was dishonest and exploitative. When a business chooses profit over basic decency, the breach lingers. And this one has. I continue to value Pure Barre as a company and community, but Little Rock stands out as a troubling exception. Allowing such practices to continue damages the brand as a whole.

I love this studio! I've taken three classes here, 1 mat class and two beginning reformer classes,…read moreand I've been raving about it to anyone who will listen ever since. I will definitely be back! My friend wanted me to go with her, and she booked a private lesson with Matt for the two of us. It was great to get that kind of personal attention, especially since I had never done Pilates (except on a Jennifer Kries VCR tape!). The breathing and the meticulous positioning of your body are so important, and a private session helps you orient yourself and understand a lot more about Pilates. Matt was great. I wasn't sure how much of a workout it would be, but the next day, deep core muscles of mine was stiff, so I knew he had put me through my paces! Another friend of mine suggested I try the reformer classes, too, and I wanted to get on that shiny machine! I took two reformer classes. This apparatus has various tension springs, straps, boxes and props to use to help you get the most out of it. The first class I took was technically an intermediate class with Paula, the owner, but there are only four reformers, so everyone gets personal attention, and I never felt that I was not getting it or that I was holding anyone else up. I had run 20 miles for a marathon training run the day before, and Paula was mindful of that for each set up of the apparatus. I took a beginning reformer class with Nikki more recently, and that was great, too. There was just one other person in the class, and Nikki was very helpful in making sure we both pushed ourselves, but not dangerously. The only issues I have with The Pilates Studio is that you can't drop in and the Web reservations system is a little clunky (I wanted to reserve just one class, not a series, and I couldn't find how much it was on the site). And, the classes are expensive. The semi-private lesson was $45 each, and drop-in reformer classes are $30 each ($200 for a series of eight). I understand why you pay this much: you get tons of personal attention from really knowledgeable teachers, so they couldn't accommodate more "profitable" numbers at lower rates. I will definitely be back: I plan on asking for PIlates for my birthday! I also wanted to note that Paula and all the teachers are great, and the studio is a relaxing oasis. Whenever I've gone, it's been the highlight of my day.

Thank you Lindsey for being understanding and kind to cancel my membership without coming in person.
