So this isn't going to be your average/usual Pure Barre review. I'm semi-disabled and won't ever be…read moretaking a Pure Barre class, but my daughter-in-law is a regular. Our family tradition is giving socks for the holidays, and my son suggested I get Pure Barre socks for his wife. Lacking any other specifics (except I know she LOVES pink), I wandered into Pure Barre and was immediately greeted warmly. I was assisted in determining size and they searched for (and found!) the elusive pink ones I wanted. I was warmly invited to come for a class, and my decline to their offer was accepted politely. I can only imagine that their regulars are treated as awesome as I was!

It hits every single muscle, and the emotional benefits are just as amazing. In terms of this studio, I've had nothing but positive encounters with every single instructor (all with their own unique style), and the vibe in the studio is extremely energizing. From the moment I walk in the door, I'm greeted with a smile, and feel as if I'm entering a party where I won't have to be afraid to sit in the corner! I would definitely recommend Pure Barre - and this place in particular if you are close to CNY. It's easy to get to, parking is ample, and it's very convenient.

Joining Vellidan (formerly The Pilates Room) was the best New Year's Resolution I made for this…read moreyear. This space is warm and welcoming and all the instructors have been wonderful while also being completely unique in their focus and delivery. I started January with the unlimited membership (which I highly recommend) so I've taken Facial Refresh, Core XIIT, Pilates (mat) and TRX classes. Each class and each instructor has something different to offer, and with the small class sizes you feel like a part of the community immediately. From week to week the instructors remember specific injuries (to recommend modifications), goals and other pieces that are so important to substantial growth in strength and stamina. The online system is very easy to use to sign up for classes and the cancellation policy is extremely fair. Being right in the heart of Fall Creek with ample parking, the commute there is never a problem. In addition, the class times are perfect for my schedule and they have so many various classes to offer, it's so much more than just Pilates! Finally, they even have online classes if you can't make it in-person on a specific day, which I have also used and found to be extremely beneficial. I really can't recommend Vellidan enough. As a mom of two young children, this was the reminder I needed that feeling strong doesn't need to mean high intensity workouts with guaranteed injuries. Pilates is highly focused core work that is low intensity with a laser focus on correct form rather than overexertion. In just one month I already feel stronger and can feel my balance and core strength improving significantly. Thanks to Tori and the wonderful and knowledgeable instructors at Vellidan for providing such an important service to the downtown area!
