I've been going to Twisted for eight months now, so my old review is due for an update! Ok, so I…read morewas kind of a chunky beer slob when I first moved here. My mom started taking me to barre and yoga with Jackie, and I am seriously a new person. Actually, I'm about 20 pounds less of a person. My mom describes barre as "ballet on steroids," and that is a very good thing, my friends! Not to toot my own horn too much, but (comparatively, anyway), I look hot. I'm no spring chicken, but some 20-year-old guy whistled at me the other day. That's how good Jackie is at her job. I have a lot of old sports injuries and my ankles are utterly destroyed. I've had to cut back on running big time and there's not a lot I can do without limping for the next week or so. This has been bumming me out for years, but barre and yoga are both low impact enough that I can go 4 times a week without feeling any extra pain. Don't get me wrong though, these classes are HARD. Like, thigh-shaking, gasping for breath, I can't walk the next day difficult. Still, they're amazing! I feel so strong and good about myself, and Twisted is a really friendly and nice place to work out. I love it, and you should check it out asap!

I have been a client at Barre Youngstown since mid-April of this year, and I have already taken…read moreover 140 classes. Some of the reasons that I love it so far: * The instructors - I have taken at least one class with every instructor, and all of them epitomize the studio slogan of STRONG*SEXY*FIT. They often come around during class to help make sure that your form is correct so that you're getting the most out of your workout, which I really appreciate. * The challenges - Laura periodically runs various challenges throughout the year to help keep everyone motivated. I successfully completed the Summer Burn Challenge, even with an 8 day vacation scheduled in the middle of the challenge period. * The variety of classes - there are at least a dozen different classes from which to choose. Even when I attend the standard bootybarre class, which continues to be my favorite, the instructors do an excellent job of changing it up so that each class is different. * The equipment - each class uses different equipment including hand weights, small balls, large balls, various bands, TRX bands and of course, the ballet barre. Starting in January, Laura is adding a new class called bootybarre Bounce, which uses fancy trampolines. I can't wait! * The schedule - classes are available 7 days a week and both mornings and evenings. There are even classes available at 5:30AM two days per week to accommodate early birds like me...

Updating my review for 2021 to mention a new class that's been added called "Box Step". If you've…read moreever been a fan of old school step aerobics (like me), then you will absolutely LOVE this class. It's similar to that but amped up (taller "step") and updated for the 2020s with the addition of bands (that hang from the ceiling), barre moves and other fun stuff. This class gets my heart pumping even harder than it does in Bounce classes on a trampoline! Give it a try - I assure you that you will not be disappointed!!!

I came to Pure Barre at the Youngstown location because visiting family friends in Canfield. I…read morefrequently attend Pure Barre in New York City so wanted to get a class in despite being out of town. Let me tell you, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The ladies at the front were super friendly and our instructor was not only helpful, but helped modify my friend's class who is 8 months pregnant. I left feeling very refreshed, but it wasn't until I was back in New York did I truly see how great of an experience I had. I opened my mailbox to find a hand written letter from the the Youngstown team. They remembered I was there for a baby shower and wished me safe travels home. Pure Barre is an amazing community and I am so proud to be a member of an astonishing company. Thank you Pure Barre Youngstown! Looking forward to coming back!

Don't be fooled - this is hard! I have been biking most of the summer and had previously practiced yoga and neither could prepare me for the workout my muscles were going to get at PB! The Wexford studio is spacious and very chic. The lobby area has an open floor plan and allows for free movement of students coming in and out of class. There is a variety of workout clothing and PB apparel and bottled water for purchase. The instructors give new students a quick tour of the facilities and PB provides all of the equipment you'll need for class (ball, mat, weights, and tension tubes). The class is 60 minutes of focused muscle sculpting that will get you toned and strong in no time! Motivational music (read: pop/dance) is pumped into the room as the instructor takes you through the movements. I found myself having to take a few breaks...which never happened in yoga! I seriously had a hard time walking out of there tonight but feel great! I know I'll be sore tomorrow but will be returning to PB as soon as I can!

I like more active workouts-- running, weights, skiing, biking, boxing-- and barre felt very passive to me. The isometric exercises and tiny movements didn't make me feel like I was truly strengthening anything, and some of the exercises seemed to put a lot of stress on the ankles/hip flexors (although I'm not super flexible, so that may be part of the issue!) I've heard great things about their cardio kickboxing class, Brawl, but according to their website there's a waitlist for all upcoming classes.
