This studio is great! Very clean and the instructor I had, Cinamon, was very helpful to me. It was incredibly hard, but I'm hopeful my form will progress over time. I will definitely be going back for more. read more

Making my adjustment to a new life easier- I have never reviewed anything on yelp but I wanted to leave a message for the PB NB studio because of the positive experiences I have there. Being new to the area and having moved across the country, adjusting to a new life is difficult and the PB NB studio has not only become my daily getaway as a calorie torching, leg shaking workout, but also the community that it has given me. From the desk to every instructor and Monica, its become such a community for me that I look forward to my workout every day and almost feel guilty when I miss a few days! I look forward to seeing the regular clients, the new ones, chatting about life with the instructors and desk girls and of course, getting in that awesome workout. Nothing is more motivating than seeing changes in your body and also having your surroundings match your positive energy. Thank you to everyone at PB NB for making my transition to So Cal fun and painful (in a good way!)! read more

I love purre barre:) this work out is fantastic and results are certain with commitment of course! Hoping for a deal on class soon. I took full advantage of $99 intro offer. If you have not I highly recommend. read more

Pure Barre is a fantastic workout! I did the bridal package and was super happy with the results. Most of the instructors are nice and helpful. It is somewhat intimidating when you first start going, everyone seems like the really know what they are doing and in such great shape. There is definitely a learning curve involved with PB but it is easy to pick up the moves. Every class goes in the same order but incorporates slightly different exercises in each set depending on the day, instructor etc. The weekday evening and weekend morning classes do get pretty crowded. It is nice that you can reserve a spot online. PB is pricey! With all the other normal monthly life expenses it can be a bit of a challenge to budget for it. They do offer monthly deals and discounts. Also, there is not a great area to change in the studio. Besides that it is a fun, dynamic workout experience! read more

I love this workout! This low impact class high intensity class leaves you sore for days. I can't recommend this enough. The workout is elegant and you "lift, tone and burn" so much! read more

I love PB Newport....Monica and Cinamin are my favorite instructors! I introduce my friends to PB because I have seen and believe in the results :) read more

All the instructors are helpful. And have great energy. Platform with Dana or Cinamin is a fun full body cardio. A hour your never regret. read more

I am in LOVE with Pure Barre. I have been doing it for about 2 months and everyone has been commenting on how good I look. It can be expensive...but it is SOOOO worth it. I actually like working out now...so much more fun than the gym!! read more

By far the best workout I've ever done. I look forward to going everyday. I've seen a complete body transformation. With the help of Pure Barre a nd a balanced diet I've lost 20lbs. Thanks Pure Barre! read more

The "Best Ever" workout to create a beautiful body ---- always challenging and always rewarding. Commit to 10 classes and you'll see your body start to transform. read more

I love Pure Barre! I have a tailbone/lower back issue that prevents me from going to low on certain thigh exercises as well as at round back but I still feel that as I modify those poses to fit my needs I still get an amazing workout!! I have lost 20 lbs since doing it. read more

I love pure barre classes. The small movements fatigue your muscles really quickly, thus allowing you to tone muscle very quickly. The targeted excerises which typically involve only 2 in of movement also ensure that you are exercising in proper form. High energy. High intensity. Definitely worth it, especially if you are using the student discount. read more

Love it! Pure Barre has changed my life. It's absolutely worth the $. A million times better than the cheap smelly, gross gyms. I couldn't motivate myself to work out for the life of me, but this is soooo nice. The clean, pretty environment, the support from the staff and more importantly, the RESULTS! It's tough, but if you stick with it, you won't regret it. I still have to do modifications, but I improve a little bit each class. I'm a very busy person and I really appreciate the efficiency of this workout. They target areas of the body that women struggle with and even though the individual exercises change, the structure always stays the same so you know what to expect. That hour goes by quick! Lastly, I really don't like crazy jumping up and down with other fitness classes. The low impact is way more my style. There are all ages in my classes and the ladies all look so good! That should say it all-this works! I feel like I've finally found something that I can do for the rest of my life. This will make you feel beautiful and elegant. Highly recommend for women of any age or body size! If I can do it, so can you!! read more

ADDICTED! I love this place and highly recommend doing the month unlimited if you are new to really get yourself in the groove. I have never had upper body strength before, and this totally changed my strength and ability with my whole body. I've been a member for a solid 5 months and try to come 2-3 times a week, when I can. OH! And for anyone worried about their strength or ability- not to worry. Any fitness level can enjoy the benefits of Pure Barre. For example I participated in the "Mother's Day Special" and brought my mom in who has had knee and joint problems for the past several years. She was able to do all of the moves and LOVED it. A week later she was telling me she could still feel the muscles worked and couldn't be more excited to discover a workout that would help her get back in great shape without the impact on her body. 3 Cheers for Pure Barre! read more

Coming from the San Fernando Valley, there was no such thing as Pure Barre. My friends introduced me to this amazing workout and from there I was hooked. I walk out of class barely able to walk and the next day feel amazing. This workout sculpts your body from head to toe, most muscles I would not even know existed! Besides the amazing classes, the staff at Pure Barre are fabulous. They are helpful, friendly and encouraging. What I appreciate the most is the seriousness and professionalism they take when teaching and operating their business. I now recommend Pure Barre to all my friends, and when it is a Pure Barre Day I am a very happy girl! read more

OMG! This place kicks my derriere! This is what I've needed to shake up my mundane workout routine. I wish I could come here everyday, but my body is so fatigued by the end of class, I need a day to recuperate! Love, love love it! I'm already noticing definition in my legs after four sessions. I hope to look like a rockstar in a few weeks! read more

Pure Barre is by far the best strength training workout I have found to date! The newport beach studio is my favorite - the owner Monica is great! Not only a great instructor but she always sticks around to help, answer questions, get to know her clientele. She takes a personal interest in your success as do many of the other instructors. I've tried all the other barre classes out there and pure barre is the only method that continuously challenges my body and the only method where I have actually SEEN results. I have been going to pure barre consistently for about three months now and my flexibility has improved drastically and i am stronger than i have ever been. this is a workout where you actually see results from the hard work you put in. while it is a bit pricey it is 100% worth it! the newport studio always has special deals going on and if you use your membership enough then per class it is not too bad. the studio also has student pricing which helps A LOT!! pure barre is by far the best workout i have found and the newport studio is GREAT! highly recommended!! read more

Buyer beware.....instructors are excellent, but management is lacking. A 30-day unlimited pass was bought for me as a gift by a friend, when I went to begin using it the staff let me know that it had "expired." Apparently such a pass must be used withing 3 months of purchase or it is forfeited. My friend had never been told this when she bought it. Pure Barre management acted rigid and utterly bound-by-policy, which many of us in management know is just silly. An agreement of some kind could have been reached. That is just good business. If Pure Barre works on this, I'm sure they can be their best! I was ready to be a fan. Until they try harder, they're not ready for prime time-- I'll be heading to Bar Method on Harbor Blvd. instead! read more

This is one of the most difficult yet rewarding exercise methods I have tried. After seeing results in such a short period of time, It's hard not to become addicted to Pure Barre. The instructors give you all the tools you need to succeed and are always available to answer questions after class. Not only do they show you how to hold the correct postures, movements etc....but during class they help modify your positioning so you are gaining the maximum benefit! In addition to the great physical results you gain from the attending class, I believe there is a certain mental calmness and focus that is acquired. You couldn't get me to the boring old gyms as many times as I attended PB classes a week! Great music + great instructor+ awesome routines= Amazing results! New client special is $100 Unlimited for a month, which is such an amazing deal. ( Once you are hooked on Pure Barre, you will recognize what a killer deal this is!!) Just like anything in life, you get what you put into it. If it's burning you are on your way to toning your body into great shape! read more

I just recently starting going to Pure Barre and LOVE it! I have noticed a huge difference in my body and my mood. The instructors are so engaging and truly care about each person who attends a class. I will definitely continue to buy the unlimited month package! So worth it!! read more

Great workout, but so expensive. Bought a pack of five lessons for $100. Don't know if I can afford to buy another.

I love Pure barre ..The owner is tops ..Monica and her instructors are the best in the O.C. ...you will get the best work out ever and feel amazing after class ..Great music and the class moves pretty fast ..and the results are worth the time and the work out.. read more

Such an amazing workout!! The staff is so friendly as well. I loved my first experience at pure barre and can't wait to go back.

I've had a membership at this location in the past and transferred to ClassPass this past year. I took class last Sunday and asked the girls if I could not wear grip socks because it constructs blood flow in my feet while exercising (causing my feet to go numb). The girls said no worries at all. I then received an email from the owner 3 days letter with a link to purchasing grip socks saying I cannot take class without wearing socks. I teach 9 barre and Pilates classes per week, have multiple pairs of grip socks, and understand the importance of customer service. I will not be returning to this studio because of this uncomfortable, silly situation. The owner should have left a note in my account for the next time I visited, or trained her employees that her grip sock policy is strict. For her to personally reach out to me and use my email to contact me for something as juvenile as this was a major turnoff. The studio should not be using carpet for their workout space as is absorbs sweat and has hair everywhere. If they spent the money to have wood floors (as every other studio does), it would be more hygienic and user friendly (grip socks or no socks). read more

Monica..a big thank you, I love your studio!! This is one of the hardest, but fun and challenging workouts I have ever tried. I started with the $100 new client special, and was very frustrated when I came in, but thought what the heck, I might as well try one more thing. I am amazed at the results I am seeing in 1 month!! My 42nd birthday was May 15th and my birthday present to myself is the summer special package. I am inspired to get back in the best shape ever, and can't wait to see what my body looks like next month. I had a hamstring injury that took almost 2 years to heal, and found that when I returned to my old routine of weights and cardio, I didn't get the same results as I did before I turned 40. I am so relieved that FINALLY I've found something that works, and it works FAST!! Thank you again Monica for your lovely demeanor, all of your instructors are wonderful and extremely helpful. read more

Pure Barre is an amazing studio so clean and the staff is always so helpful and nice.Cinamin is an amazing and patient instructor.Hard but fun workout .You leave feeling amazing read more

Best workout ever! Always been into fitness and working out. As a runner, after having my two boys, I could never achieve the long lean look I had always wanted. With Pure Barre, I have seen drastic results in my body change. Using muscles groups I never thought I had, I am able to lift, tone, and burn daily....getting better results than my every day running routine. I love the intense workout! Mixed with weights, stretching, and various reps to firm and tone....I am a true believer that this is the BEST workout out there! read more

I've taken many bar method types of classes, this one is OK nothing special. Here are my gripes compared to other similar classes: 1) the instructors don't ask about injuries in the beginning and therefore do not suggest modifications say if you have a back or knee injury. this is dangerous! 2) instructors hardly ever correct positions. bar method is all about the correct positions, you can do the whole class in wrong positions and not get any results. 3) very little variations. i.e. no pretzel, no changing up the seat or arm work. 4) this is way less challenging than others. for example they only have 2 and 3 pound weights. most places will also have 4, 5 and 6. it's virtually impossible to see results unless you are using at least 4 lbs. Also the leg work contains zero going down to your ankles, making it a cake walk. other classes will have you do pushups/plank at least twice in the hour, this is only once. 5) $225 membership considering the instructors and the class are subpar compared to their competitors and the facility is barebones. I'd be ok paying that if the instructors were very knowledgeable on methods, injury, results and if the class offered more variation and challenges. But in conclusion, the first month at $100 is fairly priced for what you get. read more

I will say that the first workout I did there made me burn, burn, burn. Could barely walk to my car afterwards and was sore for days. Quite sure I was going to be addicted. But that was the first class. Once I recovered I never quite got that burn again. So that was the second disappointment (the first was how RUDE the snotty little girl at the front was when I purchased a package). After that first class, which was tough on many levels, including the fact that the instructor waltzed in with about 30 seconds to spare, did not give ANY instruction whatsoever (including asking if anyone was new or injured) she proceeded to just bark out orders. I had no idea what I was doing and felt like an idiot. Every class was like that, no matter who the teacher was. Add on top of that all the sucked, tucked, plumped and plastic totally FAKE Barbie dolls in there that you have to listen yammering on and on before class and it was all I could do to tough out that first month. I will stick to YAS and running, thank you very much. read more

I came in on a week pass and everyone has been so kind and welcoming. The instructors took the time to explain how the class works and make me feel comfortable. They have all been awesome! read more

I have been taking classes at YAS, and when in NYC-Physique 57. I give this 1 star because of the customer service. A few weeks ago (I think June 3 or 10th?), on a Friday morning at 9:30 a.m., my friend and I wanted to sign up for some classes because I have heard this is a great workout. We arrived right at 9:30 a.m., knowing the class started (but we have small children and need to get them in their preschool). We both have never been to Pure Barre. The receptionist at the front desk, short dark hair, was on her personal phone and did not even say hello. We attempted to get information to sign up and she gave us nothing. She let us know we were too late for today's class and shooed us away. We let her know this was our first time at this Pure Barre and she again told us nothing. As we turned to leave she got back on her phone. If I am treated that way as a new client, I wonder how they treat long time clients. These classes cost money and I do not need to go somewhere, when there is so much competition, and be shooed away. Update: 12/30/11 Down the street a new studio called Cardio Barre opened, on 17th Street. Awesome people and awesome studio. read more

I had my week long trial back in September and didn't go back for awhile because I didn't have the best experience with a certain instructor. She seemed a tad annoyed that I was behind in practice (I admit I was out of shape, had just given birth). Since then, I've been going during the day and trying classes with other instructors. I'm really enjoying them - Cinamin is awesome. Her workouts are so intense but I always feel great afterwards. read more

BEST workout in OC!!! And so worth the cost. This is a routine anyone can do. I'm not sure how they do it, but even the most simple move will work your muscles. Gotta try it out ladies!!! read more

I love Pure Barre. I have tried several studios with barre classes, and Pure Barre delivers the most intense workout. I like the clean and modern feel of the studio. It is no frills in that there are not locker room facilities and the restrooms are shared with other businesses in the complex, but knowing that I plan for it. My favorite instructors are Cinnamin and Monica. Both have incredible physiques that students can aspire to, clearly explain and demonstrate the moves they are calling out, and offer modifications for those who need them. I have been coming for over a year and just took advantage of the month unlimited offer. Holy cow, it really makes a difference coming 3 or more times a week. I can already see my abs and thighs changing. I'm hooked. The online booking system makes getting the class I want convenient, but if you don't want to sign up on line, be sure to get there early as classes can fill up (for good reason!) read more

I love this workout. The studio is not close to me I commute about 20 minutes, but I make sure that I get my barre in about 4 times a week. The workout has completely transformed my body. I no longer get shin splints when running, my posture is better, I am more toned then I was when I was younger. In fact, I have had complete strangers compliment me on my legs! The workout is so energizing and combined with motivating music. When I am done with a workout I have that little high that lasts me throughout the day. Results are fast and although the movements are small and isolated, you will sweat. read more

I have been going to Pure Barre Newport Beach religiously now for over four years. I am a Fit Model, and have to keep my measurements within a quarter inch. I have done every workout known to humankind. After running 7 miles a day, CrossFit, weight training, and other bulky fitness training classes, I decided to switch to Pilates, yoga, and Pure Barre. My body builds muscle easily, however, instead of getting bulky-Pure Barre has transformed my body into the long lean, dancer frame that I have always desired. Personally, I found Pilates, yoga, and mainly pure barre made me strong, without depleting all my energy. I didn't get hungry, yet I would still kick my butt in class. Basically, I could control my food habits ten times more switching to pure barre. I achieved the body I worked hard hard for all these years... But I couldn't have done it without pure barre. My favorite instructors at this studio are Monica (the owner), Cinnamon, Nicole, Katie, and Jessica. And I was so excited to hear that my favorite, Pamela is coming back ! The new instructors are all great too! It really is a community here. I absolutely love this studio-Monica, has done such a great job keeping/hiring quality teachers, keeping the music fresh, and the routines new. I do it everyday and it doesn't get old. Try it for a month, and you will see your body change...thank you puré barre!!!! read more

Great workout, energetic and encouraging instructors, awesome music to help you lift, tone and burn your way to a stronger you!

I have been going to pure barre for two years, and love it. I have done pilates, yoga, crossfit, gym...everything-this works. monica, educates her staff, so they keep the workouts current, challenging, and fun...I wish pam would teach more classes, but that is the only complaint that i have:) i also love alexis, nicole, and monica's classes. i have sent so many woman there, and continue to watch them reshape their bodies...this is the best barre class&studio in california...spend the money, its worth it. read more

Last year I decided to set out and start yoga, I did not know anything about it, however needless to say I got way into the workout side of it. I am a regular shopper at Lululemon and noticed a flyer for this place called Pure Barre. I then come to find out that one of my clients parents did this workout and swore by it. now I am hooked after trying it for the last couple of months. This place is absolutely amazing. The facility is very well maintained, neat and tidy. This is not like going into a gym for a work out or a Group X class at your local gym.this work out is defiantly a game changer when it comes to new and exciting ways to get in shape. I was very skeptical of this workout at first and tried one class and was not overly impressed. However I kept going and purchased the one month promotional package. After a few classes I noticed it was extremely addicting. And for that reason of how fast you get into shape with it. If there is a magic button to get you in tip top shape fast; well this is the closest thing to it. This workout is fun and exciting. You feel so good when you leave this place after every session. What I really enjoy most about it is you are not completely exhausted after you leave and ready to just sit down and rest. I personally love the 6 AM classes and feel like its a fantastic start to my day. This is like a Cup of coffee that you get to drink for one hour strait and it helps keep you going all day. I personally love to take Cinamin's classes at 6 am. she is very energetic and really knows how to help push you in the right direction to accomplish your goals. I started to notice change in my body and more endurance after just a couple of sessions with her and this studio. Keep up the good work, I am hooked for life!!!!!!!! read more

Pure Barre is OK, but not amazing. The studio is small and gets really packed and hot with so many people.They should limit the number of people per class to 12 or so. The pace is fast, and focuses more on just moving rather than technique and doing it right. I compare this to Bar Method in Newport Beach, which in my opinion is so much better! Their classes were smaller, larger studio, the teacher, Whitney, is so knowledgable and constantly correcting students. Pure Barre is lower in quality and service, but the cost is the same. read more
