-The studio is really cute, relaxed and clean, my fav workout studio I've ever been too... & every teacher I've had so far has been great and pretty helpful at making sure I have the correct form. -Also like how they offer technique classes every once in awhile but I haven't taken any yet. -Bought a groupon for discounted classes awhile back but just signed up for the 1 time $100 unlimited package and enjoy the classes and environment here. Very relaxed and supportive & the classes are HARD! read more

I have been meaning to review this studio for a while. The best workout for women in Orange County! These classes are no joke. I have been coming to this studio for almost two years and it has forever changed the way I feel about working out. I look forward to each class as they are all different and challenging (I have made my boyfriend take a class and he can barely get through the warmup). Most importantly, Pure Barre is effective- I have never seen results like this from any other exercise class or technique. The class vibe is fun and upbeat. Highly recommend a class with Dana, Laura, Caroline, or Monica who are all equally fabulous instructors. The first time you go, some of the movements may feel awkward and confusing- but give it about 3-5 classes and you will start to get the hang of things (and probably addicted soon after). Oh, they've even added a new cardio class called "platform" that allows you to practice barre technique while getting your heart rate up. Completely obsessed! read more

I took advantage of the $100 introductory unlimited one month offer and have really enjoyed this class! I have been unable to get into any workout routine since I had my baby over TWO years ago! And, this has been interesting enough to keep my attention and, in fact, has been pretty addicting. It's low impact, so I'm not hurting my knees, but it's still intense. The hour goes by super fast, and after a month, I am seeing results. I still need a lot of work on my baby belly, but my legs, arms, and butt are back to their old shape already. Highly recommend, and will extend my membership. Go early to your first class. I let the instructor know it was my first class, and she helped adjust me throughout class, and I think that helped. read more

+1 Star for location. I love the studio. It is light and bright and very pretty. It is a nice place to be at. +1 Star for everyone that works there. The desk girls and the instructors are awesome. Sure I have my favorites, but all the instructors are great. -1 Star for cost. It's a little expensive :( +1 Star for discounts and specials. They always have some special going on and offer teacher/nurse/student discounts! That works for me!! +1 Star for the music. Always great music! + 2 Stars for how it has changed my body! One of the hardest workouts, but I absolutely LOVE how my body is changing. It has toned those parts of my body that always give me trouble! Commit to going and you will see change! read more

This studio is in a really cute little plaza off of 17th Street and I've been here once or twice to try it out. The one star down is for the fact that you have to change in the outside bathroom and the space is a little tight in their front office right before the class starts. The instructor I had was great (forgot her name) and helped correct my position when it needed to be fixed. I've reviewed the other Pure Barre location in Irvine and I'd say both offer really similar workouts and classes. The schedules at that location are a little more flexible to my schedule, but if you're in this area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Decent classes and instructors. They provide an organic spray mist and reusable towel to wipe things down post use...vs bleach wipes.

I realize my review may seem bias (as I am an Instrctor at this location) but I assure you, it is most definitely not. Prior to becoming an instructor, I was a devout client for about 4 years. Pure Barre not only changed my body, it changed my lifestyle. I have always considered myself to be "in-shape" but after seeing the results and how my body transformed, I am a true believer in this amazing technique above any other workout. I love the staff (of course) but I also love the clients and sense of community. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so friendly. I have made some life long friends because of Pure Barre. The workout is ever changing. Though the flow of class remains the same, the movements are always different. The music is upbeat and the instructors are motivating without being "boot campy." It's something you can do everyday because it's low impact strength training while incorporating stretching to keep muscles long and lean. Needless to say, Pure Barre is amazing! It's worth checking out if you haven't done it before. You will not regret it :) read more

I tried this place out and just like everyone else said, first day of class you will feel pain. Second day is not so bad, and I noticed the second and third day I didn't feel burn like the first day. Yes, I was tired when I was in there but after I walked out, I didn't have the same feeling as my first day. I know it works if I keep going but my lazy ass couldn't do it. I paid $100 and only showed up 3x. Well if you love working out, this is by far the best work out I have seen. I tried Pilates and didn't like it much. This is better than pilates. read more

I'm not a gym rat but I do work out 3-4 times a week at the gym. My workout regime is primarily cardio-based with occasional strength endurance training so I jumped at the opportunity to test out Pure Barre when I saw the great Groupon Deal. This place kicked my butt! I never knew that I could be so sore from a ball, 2lb (yes, just 2lb!) weights, a resistant band and ballet bar. I'm a fan! The workout is a lower intensity in terms that you're not hopping or jumping around but I'd have to say that it's a high intensity strength work out. The moves are controlled and subtle but I felt the burn (almost to the point of shaking in some of the exercises). The right form, etc is important since the movement is so subtle so I appreciated the instructor coming over to make minor adjustments. I did notice that almost all of the women in my class were lean and fit! I'm not sure if the particular class I took just happened to have a lot of fit women or if this is how a lot of their clientele looks. It was definitely noticeable when I looked around the room and I felt like the biggest person in the class (I'm between a size 4-6). It can be a little intimidating for some (not that you get stared at or anything) but I shook it off and looked at it as something that I can strive for after putting in more hours or working out. read more

There's NO better workout to get your booty in shape for bikini-season. The whole "lift tone and burn" mantra that Pure Barre lives by is so true - after just one class you can FEEL the muscles you worked INTENSELY! As far as this specific studio - a little hard to find on the first time going, but instructors are great and very motivating, the studio is clean and it's conveniently located very close to one of my favorite post work out spots (Banzai Bowls anyone?). I highly recommend Pure Barre - you haven't felt (the good kind) of pain until you've tried this!! read more

Pure Barre is a great workout studio for women because it targets all the areas on a women's body -- toned and lean results. I especially like it for the booty :) because it works out the muscles on the smile of your ass. It's all about the micro muscles you work that transform your body's muscle memory. It is a great workout that is low impact and easy on the joints. It is definitely a challenging work out but once you get the hang of it, it rocks your body and you feel empowered. The Costa Mesa location definitely has the best teachers in OC. They are encouraging, friendly and top notch -- the instructors adjust your form which makes all difference in feeling the workout to the max. Nicole, Jessica and Cinnamon are a few instructors who come to mind (at this location) that really send it for me. I drop in on Class Pass but you can also drop in on the Mind and Body app. Pure Barre is one of my go to workout spots and I definitely encourage the ladies to check it out. Right now they are having a 4th of July deal ( 4 classes for $44) In addition, to their ongoing unlimited membership New Client special! #purebarre #fitness #workout #toning #firming #burning #core #booty #lift read more

Pure Barre is an amazing workout! It has changed my body, toned my butt and flattened my abs. I started because I injured my hip and can no longer run so I wanted a challenging workout besides Pilates and I found it here! They are starting to change some of the exercises so you don't get bored if you go a few times a week. I'm starting to get my mom into it and proves that this workout is great for women of all ages! read more

What can I say besides that I am obsessed with Pure Barre!! After not working for a year this was the best thing I did to jump back in to getting in shape. After four months of Pure Barre my body is in great shape and I am having fun doing it! And I have never been one to enjoy working out! The teachers are great and the front desk staff is always friendly even at 5:45 AM! Susan, Cinamon, Monica, Lauren, and Nicole are the best teachers!!! They are so helpful if you are having trouble, and always correct your form so you get the best results. I wish I would have found out about Pure Barre soon so I could have gotten back into shape sooner! The compliments that I am now getting after being in shape are amazing and now I will never be able to stop coming!! It is a little pricey but the best way to go is the month unlimited. You should definitely try it out!!!!!! read more

Staff is amazing here. The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. Jessica is one of my favorite instructors here. Her classes are amazing and really makes me feel like I'm getting a good workout. I like that she corrects your form so you get the most out of your workouts. She seems like she really is passionate about her job. I recommend trying one of her classes! read more

Loved taking a class at this studio the trainers were motivating and helpful. I wish every pure barre studio was like this one. I'll be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I'm a regular gym goer/ have been an athlete my entire life and NOTHING I have ever tried works the muscles or creates the toning that is created by Pure Barre! All of the "problem areas" women think about are targeted in these classes and the burn you feel in your triceps, abs, thighs, and butt lets you know that it's working! The instructors make sure everyone has good posture, the music is fun, and every class is different so you don't get bored. Love it! read more

I have been going to PB in Costa Mesa for about seven weeks, but to be honest, I was hooked after the first class. I became addicted to the changes (improvements) I was seeing in such a short amount of time. My "fat days" aren't fat anymore! My pants always fit :) The instructors are great, you really can't get a better workout in 55 minutes (and believe it, I have tried)! read more

5 stars because of results. 5 stars because the instructors are amazing. 5 stars because you feel like you are in there with serious exercise types. This particular locations feels like a gym. I've been to many Pure Barre locations and there's something about the energy in this one. I don't live in California full time but I bought a package because when I'm in town PB Newport is part of the routine. Try as many instructors as you can. I personally connect best with how Pamela George. She gives amazing and concentrated stretching time and she gently pushes you beyond what you think you can do. Everyone at PB Newport is great but as you experience different instructors you will find ones that say just what you needed to hear to understand exactly what you are meant to get out of the routine. I am 42 and have always been fit but never been an exercise fanatic... Pure Barre has changed that... I am totally addicted. Love the supportive environment, love the concept, the work out, the results, the challenges, the time and the strength I've gained. I started in April of this year to prep for a summer vacation. I was comfortable in my string bikini by mid July and love that it just keeps getting better! read more

After trying a few different types of barre classes over the years, I finally found my favorite at Pure Barre last September! It is my favorite barre class because it is fast paced so you actually break a sweat, every class is different so it's never boring, I love all the teachers, it is challenging, and I leave feeling great. I have been taking class here somewhat regularly for the past 6 months, and I feel more toned and defined especially in my arms and thighs. I highly, highly recommend Pure Barre to everyone! It does take a few classes to get used to the terminology and flow of the class, so don't give up after one class (and expect to be sore!). Everyone who works here is very friendly and welcoming. The teachers are awesome- very willing to help anyone, friendly, and extremely encouraging throughout class. I genuinely look forward to each class that I take :) read more

I have been doing Pure Barre for a month now and LOVE it! It is an amazing workout and I have never seen the results I have gotten with any other workout. Even when I was training for a marathon....or spinning daily combined with yoga...I still had areas that I thought I would never improve and Pure Barre has made a difference. I am using muscles I never knew I had and feel great! My energy level has increased and I look forward to the 6 AM classes. I also feel it will remain challenging and the time passes quickly. So...as you can tell from my review....I strongly recommend Pure Barre and the introductory month special is a fabulous way to try it out. That is what I did and the results have me 100% on board. read more

This is a great studio with top notch instructors. The classroom is bright and there's fresh air coming in. I just love the class, the energy, the people, and the instructors are attentive to you. Great exercise with lots of repetition (toning). I just love it! read more

Absolutely the worst PB studio I have EVER been to.the women who answered the phone and the ones who "greeted" me as I walked in were snotty and rude.the studio smelled of mold and B.O all on top of being too small for more then a few people. I will NEVER recommend this place to my triathlete, yogi or newbie health conscious friends. Save ur time and rent a video where the instructors actually know what they're doing! read more

Being a former dancer, I am all for ballet-inspired/yoga-esque/Pilates workouts where you're working your smaller muscles as opposed to the large muscle groups. But I guess I just wasn't impressed. I've heard so many good things about Pure Barre that the bar (no pun intended) was set pretty high, and it definitely did not live up to the hype. Aside from this being one of the most boring classes ever, you do get a pretty good workout on the areas of the body they target: glutes, abs, and arms. It's a lot of repetitive small movements, and the classes don't seem to vary much, even with different instructors, they all follow the same format. I've taken a barre class at Living Fitness in Newport Coast and those classes are more intense as they do more ballet movements with higher intensity. The other thing that drew me away from Pure Barre was the cleanliness of the studio. It seems that put in a decent effort to keep the place looking clean, but take a sniff of some of the equipment used throughout class and you will be disgusted. The red ball they use to put between your knees and/or thighs are gross-- you see other women in class shoving the ball way up their thighs that you want to bring your own ball next time. I purchased a Groupon of 2 weeks unlimited classes and only went twice because I was so grossed out by the equipment. I will say that both instructors I had were fairly attentive and walked around to correct/adjust your form. All staff were friendly and helpful, especially if you're new. I definitely felt welcome. Bottomline: Pure Barre is a good supplement class if you can stand to use the equipment. I wouldn't suggest this as your only form of exercise, but if you're looking to try a barre class, I'd suggest a different barre studio first. read more

I was a bit skeptical about this place because I've taken so many classes that say they will work your core, lift your butt, make you sweat etc... I've done everything from pilates, yoga, dance, running, cycling etc... but this is one of the first classes I am so enthusiasticaly promoting because the movements are small, almost insignificantly small, but after about 5 reps, you feel the burn and if you're in proper form, should be maxxed out in no time at all. I have never gotten a better work out anywhere else and in the short 55 min, I'm usually completely drenched in sweat, long and limber from stretching and a little more toned from all the calisthenics. Definitely worth buying a package. read more

I took my first class with Monica and o.h. m.y. g.o.d. INCREDIBLE! She is precise, challenging, and just creates a really good energy in the room. I absolutely love Lauren and Brittany's classes as well, and I'm looking forward to trying all of the other instructors in NB. I have been doing Pure Barre about 5 times a week since September and I have noticed unbelievable changes not only in my body, but in my focus and energy. I am utterly addicted to these classes, and the Newport Beach studio has all of the veteran instructors, so you will definitely get your bang for your buck here. Do yourself a favor and give it a go, you won't regret it, and with their new client special ($100 for mo. unlimit.) you'll be beggin' for more! read more

I bought the $100.00 introductory membership (that's 4 months at my gym!), which I thought was expensive, and was not impressed. They should allow a free first class like yoga studios and boxing studios do. The instructor doesn't ask if anyone has any injuries. If you don't know the routine, you have to constantly look around the room at others to even know what to do. There is no briefing of the correct form, you just have to figure it out. I've been working out at gyms, boot camps, yoga places, boxing clubs, and all kinds of outdoor activities for 20 years and wanted to try something new (I'll try any new exercise once). I don't think this form of working out is worth the hefty price tag ($25/class!!). You can get better workouts at the gym. read more

Standard group classes at the gym are okay and everything, but this is SO much better. PB touts itself as an "intelligent" workout, and that's a great word to descibe it. Intelligently, it fuses together everything that you want in a strength/endurance workout and nothing you don't. You will be sore the next day, but never in a bad way. No matter how in-shape you are, you will feel the burn. read more

I've now being doing Pure Barre for over two years and I'm still as in love with (actually, make that MORE) as I was my first day! The workouts never get easy which I love because I am someone who gets bored easily. However there is still consistency, you know you're going to walk in, warm up, do abs, arms, thighs, seat then abs in that order but the movements are ever changing to keep it new and continue to change our bodies. Pure Barre keeps my flexibility, tones (everything!) and lengthens my muscles all in a really fun, upbeat environment. I love starting my day at the Barre! read more

This is an awesome workout! It kicked my butt, and continues to do so every time I am there. It is worth every penny, I'm hooked!!! I saw results right away, and kept seeing results. Ive done so many other workouts but this one is def a favorite! read more

Not for armatures. Pure Barre is a total body workout that combines ballet, pilates and floor mat exercises. If you are looking for a new workout to spice up your exercise routine, this class if for you. If you dont exercise that often or are out of shape you may have a hard time keeping up with the class. I exersice regularly and this class was a challange for me, which is good. Also, keep in mind its a small room with a lot of women in it, so it gets pretty hot and musty in there. Its pretty expensive to buy per class ($25) but if you can commit to a month+ it could be a good short term shake up. Leah Hannegan was my instructor and she was really good and quite sweet :) read more

I am in love with thus studio. It is just too cool. The decor is gorgeous. So welcoming and clean and smells amazing with all the candles they sell. The instructors are all gorgeous and nice and have beautiful bodies. They really take an interest in helping newbies. The music is perfect. And the hour FLIES by. It's really fun to just wear socks. Not sure why that's such a selling point for me. Your body will def be sore after. It's addicting. I totally love it here. Try it!! read more

Ok, here is the real deal. I decided to do barre because I was tired of my friends raving about how great it was. I signed up for the first month (unlimited $100). The first class, I was seriously ready to leave when I arrived since the room is tiny and I thought my claustrophia would kick in with all the people in there. It is quite a work out and the next day, muscles I didn't know existed were crying out in pain. I didn't think I would go back but since I had paid for the month, I decided to use it. My body feels toned and I was really liking my leg muscles so I signed up for further classes. Now, I'm that lady raving about barre classes...the one thing I don't love about this location is the size of everything (on the small size) but since my butt looks so good, I'll overlook it. Check it out...you'll become a barre convert. read more

Went for the first time last night, it was an amazing workout. I felt the burn and it was great. Highly recommend it and time went by so fast. Can't wait to go again. read more

Went again last night workout was a little different seemed harder which is fine with me since I need to workout as much as possible.

Hands down my favorite workout. The music and moves are always fresh and new and the instructors are all so nice! I love having PB be apart of my life read more

Just took the best pure bar class with Monica !! She is so fantastic and really takes the time in class to work on stretching and making sure you have the move down before moving on to the next step. I would highly recommend pure barre to anyone looking for a new fitness class :) read more

I joined pure barre a little over a year ago at another location but the newport studio is the best one I have been to in OC. What sets them apart from other locations are their instructors. Not only are they very hands on but they are son encouraging. I've been to other studios and they are afraid to give you any sort of instruction or hands on guidance. And this is key! I grew up playing volleyball and soccer so I never developed a dancer's body. When I first stared going I felt like a total fish outta water! Stick with this studio and you WILL see results. I was going around 3 times a week and I swear my butt never looked as good! I hope to get back into Pure barre for the holidays and get my bootie back into shape. P.S. If you get the chance to do a glow class at night sign up. So much fun with glow sticks! read more

My Pure Barre home studio is in Phoenix/Scottsdale and whenever I'm at my home in Newport Beach I try to get to Pure Barre several times while I'm there. All of the instructors at Pure Barre Newport Beach are great, have high energy and keep me coming back for more! So glad I can LTB no matter where I am in the country! BONUS: I got to take my first Platform class at Pure Barre Newport Beach this morning. Dana was a great instructor and I cannot wait until they offer Platform at my home studio! read more

By far my most favorite workout there is! You achieve incredible results in such a short time and all to such great motivating music. The workout combines strength training with pilates and focuses on those hard to reach areas. I am obsessed! I highly recommend this workout! read more

I did my first Barre class and liked it a lot. The instructor (Cinnamon?) was very helpful and there were other instructors taking the class who were helpful as well. It is totally a different type of workout and I felt like it really was a full body workout. The whole staff was very welcoming. Thanks! read more
