Just finished my first intro class and it was intense! The movements are small and precise, but the burn is real. It was definitely challenging and, at times, a bit painful in that "my muscles are working" kindof way, but it's an incredible workout. I left feeling sore but accomplished. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I loved the classes and teachers here. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience with how the membership was managed. I noticed a number of unexpected $15 charges on my card over time. For example, with a 4- or 8-class membership, if you can't attend due to a last-minute emergency, such as a sick baby, you're charged whether you cancel within the 4-hour window or simply don't show up. I understand having a late-cancel policy, but I found the fees frustrating, especially since I didn't feel they were clearly explained when I signed up. The final straw for me was putting my membership on hold while having a baby and recovering postpartum. I wasn't told in advance that there would be a monthly fee to keep the membership on hold. I really enjoyed the instructors and classes, but the recurring fees and lack of clarity around them up front ultimately led me to switch to another Pure Barre location a little farther away, where I've had a much better membership experience. read more

I visited Pure Barre this past saturday to try out an intro class; I took a class in San Carlos a few years ago so I am familiar with how a Barre class looks and is structured. The front desk staff and instructor were super helpful and easy to talk to. They provided a lot of great information in regard to the class, membership, how the studio operates and much more. There was another lady who also was new to the class, but there wasn't any intimidation or nervousness felt. The class ran about 45-50 minutes and it was a great workout. I'm used to do HIIT and strength training workouts, so this class was refreshing but still challenging as you are activating and working out muscles you don't really focus or target on the daily basis. Minimal equipment is used ( just a small ball, some weights, and stretchy rope). Most of the challenge comes from executing the poses, stretches, sets that you asked to do from the instructor and holding it to strengthen specific body areas. The bar secured onto the mirror wall was utilized to stretch out your upper and lower limbs. Try to come at least 10 minutes before class starts to get acquainted and sign a waiver. I look forward to taking another class. read more

Pure Barre - Inside studio - Barre Classes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love the instructors here but was not impressed with the customer service. I showed up 2 minutes late to an empower class and they wouldn't let me in and charged me a late cancellation fee nor did they refund the class credit. I was under the impression there was a 5 minute grace period as this was the case with the other classes I had taken prior. When I asked about this grace period, customer service said that only applied to the classic barre class? This was my third class and no one had told me that the 5 minute grace period only applied to certain classes. I am disappointed that the studio didn't clarify this prior FYI the grace period only applies to the classic class not any of the other ones. read more

Pure Barre is a great workout for those who enjoy small, controlled movement. I love the classic class format which always follows the same structure, but frequently changes the choreography so you never get too used to the movements. The class is fast paced but super easy to follow - I'm impressed by how quick and easy the transitions between movements are, so there's very little time during class where you're not moving. The define and empower formats are also great for a bit more strength or cardio, respectively. I felt stronger and healthier after just a few weeks of taking Pure Barre consistently. I've been coming to the Noe Valley location for over a year and I've had great experiences. The staff and teachers are friendly and helpful, and the other clients are welcoming. It's easy to get a spot in class - the Saturday/Sunday classes will fill up if you don't book in advance, but I've nearly always gotten off the waitlist. My favorite are the 7am classes during the week, and I appreciate the early class option. The location on 24th street is super convenient - there are plenty coffee shops/food nearby for before or after class, and very close to several transit stops. read more

Started barre classes about a year ago at Pure Barre Nor Valley and it's become my favorite routine. It's a great studio with a fantastic community of instructors and members :) Highly recommend if you're looking for an alternative to a gym membership in the area, as Pure Barre offers different class types to help you target different types of exercise for a well rounded regimen. read more

I have been coming to this studio for the past 2 yrs and taken all the various classes and have found them all to target what I needed: building up the pelvic core and improving my balance. The classes are challenging but fun and there is a comradery amongst the members. There is an appreciation of all body types and fitness levels and no feeling of having to "show off" or competition . The instructors keep it lively and are encouraging and provide helpful tips all during class which I feel has truly helped with my form and balance/posture and overall strength. read more

This studio has been life changing for me! I started working out again after recovering from a pretty serious physical and mental trauma that had me laid up for three years. I was heavy, out of shape and so scared to enter a class with a bunch a of fitness junkies. The instructors and fellow clients have been wonderful. The classes cater to all and there is a huge range of ages , fitness levels and body types. All the instructors make a point to greet you by name and a big smile as you enter and are always ready to answer any questions. This positive vibe carries thru the entire class, they are on their toes paying attention and seem to be at my side whenever I am struggling. The owner Stephany is so sincere and warm and I knew from day one that she cared deeply about her clients. I am on my fourth month and getting stronger and happier with each class. read more

Stephany and her staff were all wonderful and very welcoming to all the students! The foundation class I tried was challenging and definitely had me wanting for longer and more classes. If you're looking for someone giving you guidance and attention to do things right, this is the place! read more

Enjoyed the classes here and there's a couple of great teachers. Had to drop my rating down because of an experience with my membership and the subsequent customer support. I moved out of the area and tried to switch my studio but instead was charged for almost two months of classes at Noe that I will never be able to use. When I reached out to the studio for help, I was given the reply "it's in your contract". I asked for a Pure Barre credit or flexibility to use the classes when I am back in town and didn't even get a reply. Careful about signing any memberships here unless you review all documents with a lawyer. read more

There was construction on my route here and had to detour. I ran to the class and was still panting upon checking in. I was 7 mins late to the class but was told by Shavon I passed the 5 mins grace period so couldn't let in. The class had only 2 people in there with lots of space to go in and not interrupt anyone. I much prefer the West Portal location where staffs are helpful and understanding. read more

I joined this studio not long after it opened and have not regretted it. Not having done barre before (and being extremely out of shape since the pandemic hit), I was skeptical I would be able to keep up, but after only a few classes I got the hang of it. The classes are challenging, yet fun and all the teachers are wonderful and supportive. Highly recommend! read more

I am forcing myself to take rest days! I can't believe I am writing this, especially as someone who struggled to exercise regularly. For the past several years, I couldn't find an activity that I truly enjoyed doing. I am so grateful I found Pure Barre Noe Valley and it was fundamental in building my new healthier lifestyle. Here are a couple of things I love: 1) Well-structured classes. I know what to expect and it's easy to follow. I know what body part we are working on. I recommend asking questions after class if you don't know/not sure about certain moves. It takes a bit of practice to get it right and the correct form is key. So if it seems very easy, you're probably doing it wrong :) 2) The instructors do walk around to make sure you are doing the exercise right. This is what I appreciate the most and this is why I love taking in-person classes. I get personal attention in every class! 3) I love the variety of classes and I make sure to take one of each every week (Classic, Empower, Reform). The exercises change all the time and the instructors keep it interesting. Even though these are low-impact classes, I do bring a towel because I need it almost right away. Good thing they have amazing fans that keep the room cool! Overall, I am very happy Pure Barre Noe Valley is part of my daily life. Not only do I feel stronger and happier, but I also lost several pounds and my body looks more fit. Thank you, team! read more

Pure Barre Noe Valley is a fantastic studio and a great workout! I'm so thankful that they arrived in my neighborhood. All of the instructors are so good, and the front staff are so friendly and nice. The class size is great (not too crowded), the music varies with each class, and the workout makes me feel great. I'm glad I joined. Highly recommend! read more

I'm so happy this spot opened up. I had just gotten into a routine at PB in West Portal when the pandemic hit, but I could never get into virtual workouts. This location is more convenient for me and I joined as an unlimited member. The instructors are friendly and the classes are challenging, but they're always supportive of any adjustments you might need. I'm consistently working out about 3 days a week - a first for me - because I genuinely love barre and feel great afterwards. My only request is that they add some afternoon workouts on the weekends to correspond with kids' nap times. read more

Pure Barre Noe Valley is an amazing spot to get into a really great exercise routine! Incredibly professional staff, gorgeous studio, super friendly vibes... I'm on my 27th class since it opened, and I have already gotten so much stronger thanks to Stephany & team. The staff and instructors are so encouraging, remember your name, and really know how to teach. The location is perfect (so central for anyone in Noe, Mission, Castro, West Portal. Glen Park). Highly recommend! 24th Street was not complete without a PB! read more

Great new barre studio in Noe Valley, with wonderful teachers... I particularly enjoy Aileen's classes... check them out!

Pure Barre is amazing! I joined when the Noe location opened and just love it. I have lost 10 pounds and my body is leaner and more muscular than it's ever been. Stephanie the owner is friendly and lovely. The studio is new and immaculate. The teachers are upbeat, motivating, and play fun energizing music. The classes change constantly, so it's always different and challenging. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing teachers, loving community! I did Dailey Method 4days/week pre-COVID so was excited to try the Pure Barre on 24th. I have done an Empower class and 2 Classic classes and they were all spectacular! Emma in particular is a really talented instructor. The owner is really sweet and people stick around and chat afterward -- it's a really lovely and friendly crowd. I got the monthly unlimited deal because I was never in better shape than when I was doing barre 4 days/week and I want to get back to that for summer. Highly highly recommend this place!!! read more

Fantastic barre studio! Really good teachers and classes. Workouts are very dynamic and combine some elements of pilates, yoga, fitness - you really feel you are working out. I was concerned that after giving birth I will struggle a lot with the workouts but they are great way to get back in shape. read more

The new Pure Barre on 24th is such an awesome studio with the best staff and teachers. Stephany and Aileen are great and have been so welcoming to their members. The classes are challenging and never get old- I love my unlimited membership! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good workout and great people! read more

I was thrilled when I saw that Pure Barre was coming to Noe Valley! I am a big fan of instructor led group classes and this workout is great! They have friendly instructors and staff working making you feel welcome in the studio. I purchased an unlimited monthly membership and am trying to go 3-4 a week while I rebuild my strength that was lost during Covid times. There are plenty of classes times offered to get in a workout either before or after work and I like that they offer a wide range of classes. The Empower and Reform classes are a both a mental and physical challenge and you leave with a good kind of sore feeling. I have done previous types of barre classes and know that with time and dedication it can transform your body. I am looking forward to making this my go-to workout for a long time to come. read more
