It's only been two weeks and I am absolutely hooked! I used to be such a runner and heavy weight lifter for me to get a good workout but I felt I was getting bulkier and heavier and the workouts were making me so hungry. I decided to try Pure Barre because of a frayed meniscus that would act up if I did impact activities and I am so glad that I did. This is something I see myself continuing for years and excited to join the 100, 250 and 500 club in the future. I love how challenging the workouts are and you definitely feel the burn while you are working out. I love that it takes it easy on your joints and never knew that isometric exercises could tone and shape your body in such a short amount of time. I am so glad I joined! The staff and instructors are all amazing and I love that they make it a point to know your name as you come in. Thank you Pure Barre! read more

This is a great place to get a good workout...if you want to shell out almost $200/month. Most of the teachers are friendly and helpful, although it seems like a lot of them are on autopilot. After coming here for over 2 years though, there are some reasons why I cancelled my membership (other than the hefty price tag). Get stuck in traffic? Can't make it to class? You'll get slapped with a $25 late fee. If you're a VIP, quite frankly, that is ridiculous. The advanced or "Platform" class requires 12 hours to cancel...seriously? It's kind of insulting. Also, a lot of the clients there are pretty snotty and clique-ish. One girl even told me to move because I was at "her spot"(?!!?) at the Barre. Save your money-buy the DVD's and get the same workout at home. read more

Pure Barre Fairfax has literally changed my life. I have always loved working out and going to the gym. But I have never worked out this much. If I could go everyday, I would, it is that much fun. I have been working out there for about 6 months. I have noticed improvements in my strength and definitely have toned and sculpted those hard to change areas! The teachers are awesome and encouraging. I highly recommend! read more

The definition of a "good workout" varies from person to person. I walked into the Fairfax Pure Barre looking for an alternative to the traditional gym experience and the cross fit craze. What I found was a pretty straight forward, interesting, and sustainable workout for both my mind and body. Each class runs for a little under an hour and targets all of the major muscle groups (arms, abs, legs, and back). Almost all of the exercises are performed using your own body weight and there are often level-up/down options available to suit your strength and skill level. (A word of caution here: I have found that some instructors are not great about articulating the modification options so you may need to ask about them if you are really struggling with a move, have a medical concern/injury, or feel like you are breezing through an exercise-which should never be the case). Though there are some common exercises between classes, each instructor has the freedom to pick and choose what exercise sequences to include so the flavor of each class varies. Finally, it is hard to plateau as you can challenge yourself to work deeper as you get stronger. The mind-body component comes in as you focus on perfecting your form to target specific muscle groups and as you "talk" yourself into pushing through muscle fatigue (i.e., shaking muscles) in order to finish an exercise. Pure Barre is not for everyone. It will get your heart rate up but probably won't do too much for you from a cardio standpoint (especially compared to running or the like). It will increase your muscle strength and endurance but probably won't do much for you with respect to adding significant muscle mass. It will help tone and reshape your body but you probably won't lose a significant amount of weight. A few things to note: The cost is relatively high when compared to a traditional gym membership ~$25/class. There are no showers or lockers at the studio but there are two bathrooms you can use to change. Street parking in front of the studio is limited but there are platy of spaces in the garage. If you decide to give Pure Barre a try I suggest taking more than a couple of classes. It takes a few consistent visits to get the hang of things and see the changes in your body. Walking into a Pure Barre studio can be intimidating. Especially if it's an established studio with a loyal membership like this one. As a newbie it is easy to be amazed by the incredibly strong woman around you and the physical feats they are able to accomplish. You may even tell yourself you'll never get there. Just remember, many of those women you are admiring were once in your shoes. Your biggest competition is yourself and overcoming your own internal negative dialogue. As they say in class: "You're stronger than you think you are!" read more

Love the workout and especially this studio. The instructors and friendly and helpful, I would recommend byte barre fairfax to anyone! Also, they have tons of free, easily accessible parking which is great. read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I have been a member at Pure Barre since January 16, 2016. Each class is unique. The instructors plan each class to empower your confidence and to receive the best workout. I come to Pure Barre Fairfax 6 out of 7 days and enjoy each class with each instructor. I never feel bored. I am always challenged. During my workouts, I am pushed to New levels and feel accomplished. Every instructor takes the time to check your posture and helps you perform the exercises properly in order to prevent you from injury. Fairfax Pure Barre has a group of women who are friendly and look for you each time you come in. The front bartenders are amazing and take the time to get to know each client. They go the distance to help you in every way. For those of you who have not tried Pure Barre, you need to! Make Pure Barre a part of your. You will not be disappointed. Mary Ann Kowarski read more

One of the best workouts I've done in my Lifetime. The studio, the workout, the music, the teachers. Everything about Pure Barre is amazing. It's motivating, it's relaxing and it's so empowering to be able to push yourselves everyday and enjoy that feeling after every class is over. And you want more! Anyone looking for some well deserved me time plus the benefits of an amazing workout should look at Pure Barre. The entire technique makes you stronger and works on your small muscles and like I said empowers you to bring your best everyday. Thank you Pure Barre! read more

Pure Barre is such a fun and challenging workout and I'd recommend it to anyone. The one thing I don't love about it is the price, but I understand the costs since the studio is so well-kept and the classes are kept relatively small. I got the new member deal which is $100 for unlimited classes. I did my best to get the bang for my buck with about 3-4 classes a week. I wouldn't say I got great results because I only went for a month, but the workouts are INTENSE like hot blue fire burning in my thighs sort of intense. I was always dripping with sweat during the "seat" exercises. I loved the staff as well. My favorite instructor was Emily. It felt so good to have them remember your name and encourage you throughout the class. Unless living social strikes up another deal, I probably won't be going back to pure barre. I went to a barre class at my current gym and it couldn't compare to how much fun I had here. Maybe I'll come back one day when I'm rich, successful, and can afford those lululemon leggings... read more

love all the teachers and their technics best workout for women

I go to Pure Barre in Fairfax every now and then because it's convenient to where I work. I otherwise would never attend this studio. I am by no means a regular and I am treated as such. I am rarely asked my name, praised in class, or adjusted if I'm doing something incorrectly. In fact, I have been going to barre classes for almost two years and there have been times I've PURPOSELY did something incorrectly to see if they would assist me. They didn't. I have had a great experience with Brooke and that's about it. The overall studio is nice and fits in with the general Pure Barre brand. If you're looking for a personal experience and don't plan on being a 5-6 time a week attendee, you will not find it here. read more

Since others have covered the exercise regimen itself, I will elaborate on the actual experience. I have now taken 12 classes and each time I have gone it has been a positive experience. The instructors and staff are all welcoming and take the time to get to know each client. The facility itself is clean and inviting. The classes, while challenging for me, leave me feeling motivated. The instructors know what they're doing and have a nice way of correcting/assisting as needed. Everyone is "new" since the studio itself is and I will reiterate that the vibe is nothing but friendly and welcoming from both staff and students. Love the positive energy in the studio and am happy to have Pure Barre in the area! Side note: It definitely takes a few classes to fully understand the Pure Barre movements. This location has been offering workshops to break down those steps. I highly recommend taking advantage of a workshop to ensure you get the most out of your workout. read more

Been going to PB for about 5 months now and still loving it! Missed out on classes for a week because I was sick and came back to an new kick butt routine. To address the review from S P. I never have any problems with the instructors engaging with me. I have scoliosis so sometimes my posture is super funky, but the instructors never fail to help me correct my posture. I do agree that the prices are steep but please keep in mind that PB is a small studio and not a huge gym. This helps instructors keep things personal with members but it also limits the size of the actual class so prices have to help balance that. Also, if you are playing this much to workout you want to fully utilize your time and give 100% focus on what you're doing, so I don't see a problem with the PB's e-mail politely reminding others about these things that could be a distraction. I'M JUST TRYING TO GET MY TUCK ON! read more

Pure Barre Fairfax provides terrific workouts and a very special and welcoming community. The classes are excellent and always challenging. The teachers and "barretenders" are caring and engaged and make the experience fun. I feel--and am-- much stronger since I've been attending classes at Pure Barre Fairfax. Thank you, Brooke and Kristin and others! read more

Pure Barre is a full body workout but seems more concentrated in arms, thighs, seats and core. I have started and been going this studio since January of 2014 and still have not gotten tired of it. The "choreography" of workout changes (or new moves added) every few months. So, it feels like I am doing totally new workout every day and every time. I cannot say the results are immediate but there are definitely changes over time. I lost about a (or even more) full dress size and feel more healthy and energetic. I am taking classes 5-6 times a week. The first few classes can be very painful and overwhelming. The studio is very clean and the owner, instructors, barre-tenders and all the clients are so friendly, and I am greeted with smiles every time I walk into the studio. The same owner is opening another location in Reston, VA, which is closer to me, so I am super excited. read more

I love this place! The gym is not for me. Pure Barre fits my style. I love the music and the energy. It takes time to learn the moves and learn the flow of the class, but it is so worth sticking with it. I have never seen my body change so quickly as with pure barre. It takes commitment, but you get out what you put in... Just like any other workout. Love the instructors too. They help you do the workout the right way and emphasize how you should move and what muscles you should feel working. read more

If you are looking for a fun and challenging workout this is the place! Not only do you get a great workout but you will meet wonderful people. The owner and her staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and fun. They encourage every student and each workout is a little different. If you are new to barre classes you may need have patience. The moves are small and isometric but you definitely feel it and will see results. The clientele is a large range of ages and fitness levels and everyone has a great time. I have met so many nice people at this studio! I urge you to give Pure Barre Fairfax a try - you'll be hooked. read more

I have tried a number of Pure Barres around and I really liked this location. I went here consistently for a couple of weeks after buying a Groupon and I have also been to a couple of promotional classes here. The teachers are clear in explaining how to set up and execute the exercises whether you are a beginner or more experienced, and in smaller classes the teachers will make sure to know most students' names to help with corrections/encouragement during class and orient new students that show up early to class, although hands-on corrections are more limited. The studio has free street and garage parking. read more

Been trying it out for about 2 months now and I can definitely say it's the best workout that doesn't require you to sweat whole lot but still get the results you're looking for! All the teachers are wonderful and they encourage you throughout the class but it does require you a great endurance and you will be rewarded with toned body! Must try!! read more

Amazing workout. Great staff. Awesome community.

After taking a barre break for a year and half due to moving states, I got back to it at pure barre Fairfax through their March madness special and im so glad I did! I try to make 3-4 mornings each week at 5 or 6 am, and it's a great start to my day. The routines are challenging and intense, but the feeling of being able to comfortably hold 90 seconds o planks or feeling the shake in the thigh routine is awesome! I feel that my posture, strength and shape have improved over the last 3 months. All the instructors are approachable and skilled in the barre technique. I hope to continue - thanks PB Fairfax club! read more

I was a visiting Californian at this studio and the staff made me feel at home! Thanks Pure Barre Fairfax :)

I've been taking classes here for two years. I've worked out 4-5 days a week my entire adult life and nothing has sculpted my body more than coming here twice a week. Every class is challenging and the workouts change regularly so your body never gets used to it. Highly recommend! read more

Pricy class, bored after one week, charge for canceling, not allowed into the class after 5 minutes late, slippery floor, crowd room and no enough space for stretch....pricy socks sold, what else. read more

Pure Barre! Improves your abdominal core, flexibility, strengthens/tones. Pure empower amazing cardio and endurance work out. Great core group of instructors. Never the same workout. You leave each class stronger. Great music. I'm addicted! read more

It's been almost a month since my first pure barre class and I started seeing changes within the second week. Totally body changing and addicting. Instructors are incredibly nice and are passionate about teaching and helping you improve. Highly recommend for those who want to tone their bodies. read more

I took my first Pure Barre class in January of 2015, hoping that with how close the studio is to my office, I would be able to commit to getting some kind of exercise throughout tax season. I loved my first class with Emily and was hooked right away. I love Pure Barre because it's an effective workout that's also fun, which is really hard to find. I hate going to the gym and I usually get bored pretty easily during workouts but each Pure Barre class moves so fast that you never have time to think about taking a break and your mind and body are engaged the whole time. The hour passes before you know it and I always feel stronger and more confident after a class. The best part: This was the first tax season in several years that all of my pants still fit by the time April 15th rolled around...and I have Pure Barre to thank for that! read more

I have been taking Pure Barre at the Fairfax location for a year and a half now, and I am still not bored, still have not reached a plateau, and I have experienced good results. The teachers are all very professional, the studio is welcoming. It is costly but if you stick to it and commit to come several times a week, it is worth it. read more

I love it! I never did barre class, but I fell in love with barre after one class. I signed up for the new client special. Really good work out, I sweat a lot without running. read more

I had never taken a pure barre class before and used a promotion for a free class. When I walked in the ladies at the front desk were welcoming and friendly. The area was clean. Once the class before mine finished those of us waiting shuffled in, seemed as if I was the only one who had never been and there was no one there to explain what to do for first timers so I ended up asking another woman what I was supposed to do and she was helpful. Being new I wasn't up with some of the lingo the instructor was using and it is very fast paced most of the class so I spent most of the class just watching other participants to determine what I was supposed to be doing. It was still a good workout and I was sore for days! read more

Amazing staff and perfect workout! Pure Barre techniques might look different from any other workout you have experienced before but it is definitely WORKING! Love that place and will keep coming back. read more

Classes are the same pretty much every time. You go through the same set of movements: warm up with arms and bells, some very light cardio, then some glutes and quad work with maybe a little hamstring then you go to the floor for abs. Even the stretches are the same. If you go for a week it's fine, anything after that and it's pretty boring. You do tone up the legs and glutes pretty quickly but if this is your only workout regimen I wouldn't recommend it. Also, classes fill up really quick so if you don't register in advance it's hard to find a spot during peak days/times since they only have one room. if you don't show up they charge you $25. If you cancel your reservation within 2 hours they still dock your class. I'd say save your money and go somewhere else. Seems like management is really looking to make as much money as possible. You don't get a serious workout for the price you pay. The only reason they got even two starts is because the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. read more

Pure Barre is an amazing fully body 55 minute workout. The workout is broken down into warm up (arms & abs mostly), thighs, seat (glue & hamstrings), and abs. The goals of class are to Lift, Tone, Burn (LBT) and shake - meaning you want to work your muscles do hard that they shake and change. I've been going to Pure Barre for about a year and try to get to class 5-6 times a week. My body is more lean and toned, but it takes time to see changes. (Please don't expect that you'll do the one month new client special and see results, because you won't.) Pure Barre is on the expensive side, but it's worth the money if you're really invested in improving yourself. The studio is clean and upbeat and the Pure Barre community is fantastic. You're paying for that and what is basically group training. I love coming to class to hang out and chat with my "Barre Buddies" before and after the workout. The community helps keep me honest, because my friends will notice if I'm not in class for a few days. I would highly recommend Pure Barre to anyone looking to lift, tone, and burn. This isn't a workout where you can lose a bunch of weight, because there's no cardio and for as much as I love PB that's something to consider. read more

I have been going to Pure Barre at Fairfax for a little over a year now and I only continue to love it more every time I go. From day one everyone including the instructors, barre tenders and classmates have been so friendly, encouraging and positive. It took about 10 classes to get the hang of it but after that I was hooked! I like that no two classes are ever the same and I feel challenged every time I go. I feel stronger than I have in years and would encourage anyone, no matter what their current fitness level is to give it a try! read more

I was so glad when I found Pure Barre. Not only is it a great workout, but it's a great community. All the staff is so helpful and welcoming and I've made great friends too! The workout is tough but give it some time and you will definitely see a difference. I'm so much stronger than I was before. It's also slightly addicting - I've never gone to a workout regularly for this long -- going for 4 years now. One of the best things is the class is different every time you go so you are always challenged. I recommend this workout for anybody looking to stay fit and get stronger. read more

The best workout I've ever done. I knew this the first day after my first class, because every muscle in my body was sore, plus some that I didn't know existed. You have to trust the process, and may be confused by the moves at first, but after about 5-10 classes you'll learn the lingo and get the hang of it. The instructors and front desk staff are ALL great, but my favorite instructor is Chelsea! The class is fun, music is bumpin, and the 55 minutes fly by. Pure barre focuses on the areas that women want to target most- the thighs, core, back of the arms and butt! Unlike some yoga & Pilates classes I've tried, this one is faster paced and much more engaging. In a great location and a free parking garage. Give it a shot, you'll be happy you did, and will most likely become obsessed! read more

Recently started going to Pure Barre and love it! They have a very flexible class schedule, friendly instructors who are eager to help you, and very clean studio. So happy I made the decision to begin taking classes! I have already seen improvement in my abilities during class. Great workout! read more

I was hooked on PureBarre from the very first class I took about 2 years ago. The target zones are perfect for my goals, the pace of class is quick so I'm never bored and never feel like I have to give up...the last 10 is always right around the corner! I particularly enjoy classes with Lindsay, Brooke, Kristin, and Amanda, but it's always a good workout no matter who is teaching. Barre is perfect for every fitness level and age because you can Taylor the work to meet your needs. The vibe at PBFairfax is super friendly and supportive. Highly recommend! read more

This pure barre location is amazing. Every instructor is fantastic, every class kicks my ass, and I leave already looking forward to my next session. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Very friendly and welcoming for my first Barre workout. They walked me through the "vocabulary" and what to expect, helped me get my equipment and a place on the floor. The studio is very clean and well-appointed. The workout was a bear, but only because I really need the conditioning! I'm still feeling it today...The workout is a little hard to follow for a first timer, but like anything else, it takes more than one try to figure it all out. I'll definitely be back! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pure Barre. I go to the Fairfax and Reston studios (both owned by Brooke) and I ALWAYS leave in a better mood than when I come in. I've been going about 4 months now and it's safe to say I'm hooked. The exercises are tough, fun, and the instructors are SO helpful. It's like having a personal training session (even though you're in a class with other people)-they praise you during class and help correct you when your form is off. The music is fun, energizing, and I've made a lot of new friends there, too. I've noticed a difference, especially in my abs and I feel like overall I've been in better health. The instructors at both locations are awesome and I love all of them and their different personalities! If you've been thinking about it, give it a try. Best way I can describe is like pilates on steroids. Haha. read more
