I'm still loving this place! Your first time's free, so I've been forcing my friends to come work out with me here (usually it's a love/hate relationship with the first class). The moves are all low-impact and high-result. My physical therapist actually recommended I keep doing their classes after an injury, and many of the moves are part of my daily PT practice (the back strengthening ones, especially). Yes, everyone is in lululemon from head to toe, but who cares? The classes are fantastic and the instructors couldn't be friendlier. My new favorites are Cherise and Fawn! Sami is, of course, fantastic, but her classes are tough to get into, so sign up early! PS: get there early for a good parking spot and to check in at the desk. PPS: thank you PB Bvue for adding the 4:15pm on Mondays!! read more

I've been meaning to try barre for a while now, and finally went to Pure Barre Bellevue through ClassPass two weeks ago, and just finished my fifth class yesterday (and am currently feeling the full body burn today). It's an amazing and challenging workout with supportive, encouraging, and high-energy instructors. Would definitely recommend showing up early to your first class to meet the instructor and get a crash course in the lingo and moves - it moves pretty fast once class starts. I was worried it would get predictable after a few classes, but they switch it up pretty often, while keeping the routines familiar enough that you generally know what you're doing. Class availability is also awesome - I've been loving the 8PM weekday classes since there's a little more room to move and get some air circulation. If you're looking for something even more high intensity, I'd try Pure Empower (it fills up quickly though!) The studio itself is super cute and clean - I love the vibe and sticky socks + carpeted floors combo is comfortable. There's parking in the apartment/shopping complex the studio is located in, so it's convenient despite being in busy downtown Bellevue. read more

I've taken countless exercise and dance classes- pilates, hot yoga, yoga, tae-bo, circuit weight lifting, ballet, dance, ballroom., etc. and I was also a competitive figure skater as well, so I LOVED THIS class. I also have done pilates for 8 years, and it contained many similar movements. It was fast paced, which I loved because a) I have a short attention span when it comes to exercises, and b) it helped me get through the pain!! I was sooo sore and ALL OVER, after I took my first Pure Barre class. I remember telling a bunch of friends how I would be in amazing shape if I could take it even 2 or 3 times a week! The instructor was up beat and cheerful too, and I really liked her choices of music too. After retiring from competitive figure skating in 09, it was so much fun to be back at a bar, which is one thing I really missed from both our off-ice training classes and ballet as well. My friend Katie is an instructor, so someday I hope I can take her class too!! Definitely GO GO GO! read more

Im really enjoying attend pure barre. It's the best low impact class out there. It works your whole body and is super fun. I love Jade's Monday class. She's an awesome blend of cheerleader and drill sergeant! You'll definitely keep finding me there in Monday's! read more

I love pure barre, very effective. Teachers are amazing, highly recommended. Worth for its price!

I love pure barre Bellevue. All the instructors are very helpful and motivating. I like that they offer late evening classes (8pm) as I come home only at 7 some days. I am truly able to let go, disconnect from the world and focus on class so I feel so refreshed after each class. Don't get me wrong... this class definitely challenges the heck out of me especially if you stay strong and stick it out till the end of each transition without taking a break. I have definitely seen an improvement in my body and flexibility. I do find the classes a bit pricy and I wish they offered more discounts. read more

I LOVE LOVE this studio. Everyone is very friendly and the instructors are helpful. Whichever instructor you choose, won't be wrong. My fave class is the pure empowerment at noon on every Thursday with Megan. She is very nice and the class helps to improve my strength to next level. read more

This is my "go-to" place to get a great workout! Conveniently located in downtown Bellevue with easy parking! Pure Barre is truly an amazing class where you see effects in more ways than losing pounds. It increases strength, flexibility, and tones in all the places you want! I wish I went more and I go through bouts of being more consistent. That being said, whenever I get back into a rhythm in taking classes regularly, I usually notice increased flexibility by the 3rd class. This is a great class to take at any level. At first glance or first "try", it might be a little intimidating but everyone focuses on themselves in what they are doing so there is no need for feeling that way. You are really the only one who sets your limits. The teachers come along to help correct alignment and to challenge you in gentle, yet assuring ways. If my schedule would allow, I'd really go every day. read more

My favorite place to work out!! All the instructors are very friendly and teach great classes. I love the regular pure barre classes and the empower cardio intensives. This studio is extremely welcoming to men and women who are new to barre classes, just arrive at least ten minutes early to get set up! There are people of all ages and fitness levels in every class. This is a very positive and fun place to exercise and I always look forward to taking classes here! read more

A great studio: amazing supportive instructors, energizing workouts, welcoming staff and great facilities.

Came to Pure Barre for a Bumble BFF meetup this past weekend and from the moment you walk in, you are welcomed with open arms! The instructors are all very approachable and encouraging! The workout definitely works out every part of your body and worth feeling sore after! read more

I'm a pure barre enthusiast based in Massachusetts. I am so addicted to the workout, that when I travel (mostly for work), I choose my hotel location based on vicinity to a pure barre. I stayed just around the corner from this pure barre at the courtyard marriott, and the 6am class couldn't be a more perfect start to my day in Bellevue/Redmond. The facility was nice, the instructor very friendly, and I was loving the "first class free" offer. I haven't been to another pure barre that offers that. Usually I have to buy one class to use when I'm traveling. My only compliant about pure barre in general is that each franchise has a similar looking but different website for booking. I've created username/passwords to book classes at my pure barre at home, in Philadelphia, Palo Alto, San Francisco, and now Bellevue. It seems like they could all share a basic database so that I don't have to keep re-entering my name/address every time that I visit a different pure barre. read more

I've been going to Pure Barre for almost 3 months now, and so far I'm still loving the fact that I'm sore every single time after the class for at least a day or two. You definitely get a good work out while putting those muscles that you didn't even know they existed to use. The studio itself is clean and welcoming. Not to mention the parking is free in a parking garage. The staff here are friendly and warm, and the instructors are great so far. They change up the routine so you don't get bored. read more

I love this studio so much. I have done so many groupons for various yoga and barre studios in the area, but never felt like making a long term commitment since the studios are all so expensive. I basically am the worst at continuing to work out and stick with things. I did a couple half marathons without enough training and felt a lot of pain in my joints. A coworker from the east coast suggested I try Pure Barre (PB). Now when I do run, I feel much stronger in my hips. I also broke my foot a year ago and would have periodic pain when wearing heels. This has basically gone away thanks to all the exercises that happen to also strengthen feet. I have gone to Pure Barre in Scottsdale, AZ 4-5 times and can say even between Pure Barre locations, I like this one best. The Scottsdale one did burn and sell those Voluspa candles you can get at Anthro, but otherwise I love this Bellevue location even more. (Tip to Sami if she reads this!) It feels really homey and inspiring. It always kicks my rear and the people seem down to earth for the most part even with the fancy name brand yoga gear. Not many of the studios in Bellevue have achieved that good encouraging attitude no matter your gear or figure, in my opinion. I have been going really regularly for the past few months which is the most active for the longest period of time since I was on a swim team in high school. I have gone 60 times in 3 months, which is a real miracle even through the holidays! They have little motivators like 100 club socks, which make me feel like a sheep to want so much. It's so silly to be motivated by sticky socks, but I'll take it if it gets me off my "seat" every day. It makes me excited to make goals and actually complete them. I look much better in clothing though I have only lost a few pounds. I generally gain weight in the winter, though, and have loads more muscle without bulk (even though I am German and get bulky easily) as I was very sedentary prior to starting with Pure Barre. I signed up for the year, I've loved it so much. I'm pretty addicted and I have rearranged my budget to accommodate. I pack lunches more so I can make this happen. Worth it! Parking and the times are so convenient. I never feel like I am going to hurt myself by going regularly. I get good results for my efforts and I don't get super sweaty making it possible to go to casual things after with a little bit of sprucing up vs a full shower. All my excuses for not exercising are gone with going to PB. Try out your first class free! No excuses! read more

A great studio with fantastic teachers. I really appreciate how much they are concerned with correct technique and make sure all students are doing the moves correctly. I am feeling the afterburn and have seen improvements in tone and muscle after a month of classes! read more

My 3rd class ever was with Hannah at the Bellevue PB location. Being so new to this fitness movement, not being as strong or as flexible as I'd like - I felt a bit nervous. Hannah's enthusiasm during class and 1:1 encouragement throughout helped all that anxiety just melt away. She is by far one of my favorite instructors out there. That girl is a ray of sunshine! PB hurts in the best ways possible and definitely heals. Love watching my body change to get stronger and leaner with each class! read more

This is my first time trying out Barre and I love it! I've had 3 different instructors for my past 5 classes and they are all so encouraging! The place is really nice and clean. Parking is super easy and convenient. Would definitely recommend friends to do Barre with me, especially after I finally got my first pair of sticky socks! read more

I have tried barre classes a few times and am so excited to commit to taking barre classes consistently! Pure barre keeps you moving the entire time while helping gain muscle and flexibility and work your core strength. I can't think of a better exercise than this. The instructors are also very helpful in coming around and showing you how to improve your form. I am excited to continue on with my classes and know I'll see results. The staff is also very friendly and helpful when signing up new members. read more

This year I decided it was time to dedicate myself to my own fitness routine. I'd been taking pure barre classes sporadically over the last year and have not regretted a single second after signing up for classes. I've been to both the Bellevue and Queen Anne locations and love the instructors! Danica in Bellevue is the best: always encouraging, helping perfect my form and pushes us to the limit of our abilities. I've been coming consistently for 3 weeks now (twice a week) and have noticed a pretty dramatic change in my overall strength, stamina and muscle tone. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a fun, challenging workout with nearly immediate results. read more

Great instructors who take the time to show the moves properly when we're doing it wrong. This is my second week going and I'll continue to go as I'm starting to already feel better about myself! read more

I'm now on my second week of Pure Barre (going three times per week) and while super sore, am in love. This is the first time I'm working out without staring at the clock wondering when it'll be over. The variety of movements ensure you don't get bored in class and it FLYS by. And since no class is the same (thanks to the variety of supportive and energetic teachers) you're guaranteed to work all your muscles on different days. Having had twins, my stomach muscles are non-existent but after these classes, my "abs" are sore. Studio is clean, there's ample parking, and the staff is friendly. Loving Pure Barre WA! read more

The space is great and has parking which is really important these days. Plan to use the bathrooms in the main building before or after class because the studio doesn't have their own. read more

Love this work out so much! I did Bar Method for years and I think this is a lot more challenging! Excited to be back in Barre classes.

Pure Barre is a high intensity barre class with lots of changes and little down time. Favorite teacher at the Bellevue location is Ari--she's great! Pro tip: this location doesn't have a drinking fountain, so come with a full water bottle or 1$ to buy a bottle. read more

I tried Pure Barre Bellevue with the $99 newcomer special. I have several friends in Boise and family in Spokane who are hooked on Pure Barre, and over the last year of CrossFitting, I have felt that I was missing something in my workouts. So, I broke down and tried Pure Barre. I have to say... it is addicting! I find it the perfect complement to my CrossFit and running workouts. CrossFit bulks my muscles up, so it feels great to work on toning with small muscle movements to contrast that; I can feel the toning after each workout and I have found that Pure Barre more than any other workout ever has makes me want to eat healthier and healthier. The staff at the Bellevue location is very friendly; they concentrate on learning as many names as possible, and it is very motivating when they use your name to give you individual corrections or encouragements. I think I might be hooked too! I just wish it wasn't so expensive. However, I am excited about the new Redmond location coming soon! read more

I love this workout. It is kicking my b*tt, but everyday I want to come back for more. The front desk and instructors are friendly and encouraging, the space is very nice, and I like that you can register online and know you have a spot in the class. read more

Fave Barre studio in Bellevue! Forgot to bring my socks on my first day and the receptionist let me borrow hers!! She also filled my water bottle for me as I was running late for class. Free parking in the parkade - and of course the workout was amazing! read more

I love Pure Barre! This is such an encouraging environment to work out in. There are people here of all abilities and skill levels. The teachers are amazing and are always willing to answer questions and won't just tell you how to do it correctly but show you as well. I would removed this workout and this studio to anyone and everyone it is fun, challenging and defiantly changes your body! read more

I love everything about Pure Barre Bellevue. The front desk is always so welcoming. The class pushes me, the instructors are helpful and cheerful, the community of participants all have great energy. Love Pure Barre read more

I started attending Pure Barre Bellevue with a friend, and I keep coming back! The classes are intense, but I feel great afterwards which is always a good result of a workout class. The instructors are super friendly and energetic and will stop and adjust your posture when necessary. The building has a free parking garage nearby which is perfect, but they only have a small studio lobby so it gets packed before and after classes. Also there is no bathroom and just one changing closet so it's best to arrive for class ready to go. read more

The class size is too large and it gets crowded to the point that you constantly try not to kick your neighbor. Also, after the studio got closed they kept charging me a full price. I do not mind supporting the local studio, but it would be nice to have an option and maybe to pay less, since online class is just not the same experience. I contacted the studio many times and also sent emails to headquarters but no response. I had to block my credit card eventually. I guess it is normal that when the company gets too popular, the owners get too greedy and hence classes get crowded and they do not care about customers anymore. The teachers here are amazing and I am sure I will miss this place, but I will look for other place in Bellevue, since I do not want to support greedy corporations. read more

I bought a five-pack punch card while visiting my parents for a week. The first class was great, and I got a good workout. Parking was somewhat hard and confusing, and I ended up parking illegally the first time. For the second class, I showed up a few minutes late due to being confused about the parking garage and the receptionist said I could still jump in. There was absolutely no room whatsoever, so I asked her if she could book me for the next day. I understand it was my fault I was late, but they cut a class out of my punch card even though the class was packed and there was nowhere for me to jump in. The front desk girl was rude and snotty the first time and then the next day the other one was even worse. Like people should feel privileged to be there or something. I live in So Cal, where people can be this way, but I did not expect this in Bellevue. Your gym is not in Beverly Hills, so cut it out with the attitude. I will not visit this one again, but I will definitely try the one in Solana Beach. I would have given this place four or five stars if the desk girls were not so rude and snobby. read more

Pure Barre is amazing! It's light on the cardio (Love!) and focuses mostly on toning and flexibility. This class uses ballet techniques to tone your body and melt away the fat. The workout is brutal, you will never feel BURN like this, but absolutely worth every minute. I could feel myself getting stronger and see results quickly. The instructors are great, they challenge you and adjust your technique to make sure your doing it correctly. I have so much more strength and energy now. I love it! read more

I am a super active person and quasi workout snob. I hate it when I go to classes at trendy workout boutiques and the instructors know nothing about bodies or proper alignment or even what 'good' burn is while you're working out vs. 'bad' burn... hopefully that's enough of a disclaimer to sufficiently express how not-often I am impressed by a workout place, and how not-often I return instead of just sticking to my own workouts, (which are free). Having said all that, I LOVE Pure Barre. It is pretty darn challenging, and the workouts vary from instructor to instructor so I don't find myself getting bored or complacent in class. I go as often as my wallet will allow, and I feel better all day afterwards. It is less cardio than a lot of classes that are more geared towards burning calories, but for my tastes, I prefer Pure Barre's lean-muscle making exercises and constant-sweat-but-not-out-of-breath activities. I've danced all my life, and have been a professional dancer/acrobat for the past seven years, and this is one of the only workouts I chose to spend money on. I should say, I know classes anywhere cost a lot, but Pure Barre's $23 per single class really makes my eyes pop big - especially since I want to go 2-3 times a week. There are lots of options to save money on packages however, including a monthly unlimited option, but even so I often have an internal debate on if I should spend the money. I do, in the end because I truly enjoy the group class setting and the motivation that comes with wanting to keep up and push yourself. The classes range from sparse to absolutely packed depending on the time of day: the post-work-day (5-7:30pm hour range) classes are often very full and you need to sign up online before hand to ensure a spot. The classes are almost always all women (check it, boys: this might be the best dating opportunity you've ever found!) and while it's not women only like Curves, it's definitely geared towards a female clientele. The exercises are designed to shape a lady's body in womanly ways, and specifically to create the long and lean pilates-type strong and metabolism boosting muscles. The teachers offer encouragement without goading or drill-sergeant antics, and the other people in the class all seem to subscribe to a 'we're in this together' camaraderie. I do sometimes furrow my brow at the instructors occasional inattention to proper execution by correcting my classmates technique so their effort is as fruitful as possible - (you may roll your eyes at me here, this is not something anyone who wasn't a dance/workout instructor themselves would notice or even care about, and even without putting each person's technique under the microscope, the Pure Barre method, classes and instructors are so very far above par that it's ridiculous I mention it...). I've brought both my mom and my sister (post pregnancy from having twins!) and they were able to enjoy the classes and loved them as much as I do, and both felt like the amount work and reward were stellar. I was even more impressed by the Pure Barre method after having brought mom and sister because with the three of us you have the whole range: one young athlete, one young average-in-shape, and one older with challenges (injuries) but spry and committed - and we all three felt challenged, had a sufficient level of post-workout 'reward', and all wanted to go back again and again. The last thing I'll say about my experiences at Pure Barre are to help anyone who might be going save some frustration: 1) the complex it is in is confusing/ poorly labeled for how and where to park, and then subsequently how to get to the studio from there. Park in the garage beneath the building by turning into it off of 112th Ave - the two inlets are labeled "Elements Too". Elevator up to level 1, or take the stairs until you've reached street level. The actual business is off of a courtyard outside away from any street. When you feel like you're in the least-likely area, then you're probably getting close. Pure Barre is next to The French Bakery. 2) I had some massive confusion/irritation with my billing for Pure Barre, but they went out of their way to fix it for me. I started going there with a LivingSocial certificate, and once it expired I started paying for my classes. Three weeks in a row I was told I owed for past classes and had to go through the lengthy process of explaining and showing how and when I had gone and how I had paid. I never missed paying for a class, and I never paid later than right before any given class, and most I had pre-paid though a bundle I had bought. In the end they sweetly said they would 'comp the missing classes and not to worry about it,' which fixed the problem but implied I hadn't paid when I definitely had. The lack of communication and organization was frustrating and left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall though, minor hiccups compared to how much I love going!! read more

Very clean and friendly studio near everything in downtown Bellevue. Instructions are great and will help you get into correct postures. Challenging workout which I appreciate! read more

Pure Barre is fantastic! It is the perfect fitness program for all levels. The staff is so friendly, and supportive and the studio is always clean. This is the first fitness program that has transformed the shape of my hips and thighs. It is the perfect program because it is no impact. I have been going to Barre for 3 years, and love it more and more all the time. The more I do it, the more I understand how to target muscles and challenge myself. It has mentally changed me too - I know that I am strong and can endure more than my mind tells me. Pushing through those tough positions makes you tough! LOVE IT! read more

I enjoy Pure Barre and the high energy. It is much more fast paced than other Barre classes I have tried. I appreciate that the instructors correct your form and help you when needed. Sami is amazing and her classes are always booked up. I love the stretch at the end; it feels so amazing after the vigorous workout. read more

Pure Barre is a fun & effective workout! I've been going to Pure Barre for about a year and feel my body change progressively over time. I still really like the hands on adjustments/feedback to ensure that my form is correct and maximizing the benefits from each movement. It's nice that some instructors really take the time to make sure every student in class get some sort of adjustments/feedback during class. The price is pretty reasonable with the punch cards since I usually go about 2 times a week. However, on a broader spectrum, the money I pay in exchange for the results is beyond reasonable. Plus I actually enjoy it! read more

I started about 3 weeks ago and I love it so much. The instructors have been very nice and patient.it has a very positive environment and I try to go to Pure Barre 2 times a week and I am never disappointed with my experience at Pure Barre Bellevue, they help so much,I love my body so I love pure barre bellevue and workout. read more

An amazing studio! Just started going here, and all the instructors as well as the students are so friendly and supportive! All of the classes have such a great energy. The studio is very clean and organized! They also give you a free week to start out with to see if Pure Barre is right for you. Also, most of the classes are all women, which I prefer for modesty reasons. Would absolutely recommend :) read more
