This review is long overdue. About 10 or so months ago I transferred from another local Pure Barre to this location. I already knew I loved the Pure Barre workout - challenging classes with consistent results. But going into a brand new studio I wasn't sure what to expect. From the first class I took at this studio I immediately felt very comfortable. Parking is a breeze, the studio is sunny and spotless, the barre tenders are all super friendly and professional. The best thing about this studio is I feel the instructors really go the extra mile in correcting form and giving verbal cues. Some of the instructors even assist with the stretch at the end of class which I have not seen at past studios. In the 10 months I've been here I feel like the studio is like a home away from home with how comfortable I feel here due to the staff being so welcoming. I can honestly say I don't have a favorite instructor because they're all off the charts SOOO good at what they do. Besides the classes, they also have super cute workout apparel for sale along with the world's best smelling candles. If you're on the fence of trying pure barre - this is the place to try it! read more

I like the convenience of the location of this Pure Barre location -- shopping center so plenty of parking. Doors are locked once class starts so that provides a sense of security. Lyle's class was good and beginner friendly. read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Whenever I do a class here I'm reminded just how out of shape my abs have become lol but really my abs need saving lately and this place will definitely burn the heck out of them! I find that over the years coming here some instructors are better than others but that's going to be the case anywhere. I enjoy the classes here and most of the instructors! Parking is always easy and they have a water filter inside to fill bottles and two bathrooms. Always very clean. read more

This is my second time at Pure Barre and I don't feel like the instructors give a lot of attention to form/modifications. I initially thought it was instructor-specific but realized it's a studio thing. Pure Barre is very boot-camp / cross fit like. I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and received very little to no guidance throughout class for how to modify. I've taken classes at The Bar Method across the way and they're the complete opposite. I receive so much guidance on how and when to modify, which makes me feel safe practicing barre during pregnancy. Won't be coming back to Pure Barre. read more

Zero effort to help you with form when you take these classes. Bad customer service !!

I love this studio for so many different reasons: 1.) Extremely welcoming, everyone is very nice. 2.) The teachers are really good, they motivate you to push yourself in the best way possible. 3.) I've been taking classes for the last 2 months and I've noticed a big difference in my booty. Prior to Pure Barre I would go to the gym, do Yoga and Barry's Bootcamp for years and didn't see the results I've seen in just 2 months of Barre * seriously* 4.) There's people of all ages, you can bring your daughter or grandmother. It's such a great workout and you don't have to worry about injuring yourself. 5.) Plenty of free parking. and did I mention how kind and amazing everyone is? The owners, the teachers, the clients, everyone :-) Thank you Pure Barre MDR!! read more

I purchased a monthly unlimited package at Pure Barre Marina Del Rey and it is so worth it. I average at least 3 classes per week and started to see results within the first 2 weeks - leaner, more tone, stronger. All the instructors are great. KAITLIN M. is absolutely AMAZING!!! She consistently delivers a fun, full-body workout that will have you sweating within the first 5 minutes of class. Somehow she manages to pay attention to every single participant - correcting form without skipping a beat of instruction. You will leave her class feeling completely invigorated. I highly recommend her class. If I could give her 10 stars I would. The studio is spotless and airy. The front desk staff is courteous and professional. Pure Barre MDR is worth every penny. read more

Oddly, I've found Pure Barre to be addictive. I tried it on a whim after a recommendation from a friend and while it can be incredibly hard (muscles shaking, etc), the feeling after class is next to none. This particular studio is clean, has early morning classes (which is good for my schedule), ample free parking and best of all, high-energy and competent teachers. It just has a nice vibe/energy. If you're looking to step up your fitness routine or just try something new, give this a try. I'm almost starting to see my abs. Almost... read more

I love going here! Staff are all super kind, friendly and remember names. Good times for classes. I love the workouts!

I never did pure barre before so at first it was intimidating however Kristina was very welcoming and warming. My first instructor/class made me feel very welcomed and I appreciate their thoroughness in explanation. I really appreciate how instructors check in with you during the classes and make you feel confident. If the instructor had never met you they take the time to introduce themselves. I had a year membership and was sad to go due to other circumstances but will definitely take classes again once I can! read more

At the risk of sounding cheesy & trite - this workout and specifically this location Changed. My. Life. In the past, I had tried barre at other studios, pilates, "barre method", yoga, hot yoga. Nothing worked for me - mentally. Couldn't get into the right "vibe" and mental motivation to return after taking a class.... Until Pure Bare MDR location. The energy there is just so family-like and positive. Most of the girls will stick around for 10 minutes after class to chat. Plus there is usually a dog or two waiting outside the studio. Lastly and most importantly -- I stayed for the instructors. They somehow make you feel like they're watching YOU constantly. Some instructors will come over to each girl 4 or 5x to subtly correct form or just quickly say "you got this - you're looking strong!". I am not a Yelp person and typically it is not important to tip my hat at a business for giving me a service I pay for -- but this studio deserves more than a pat on the back. Pure Barre MDR helped me lose 20 lb in 2 months, encouraged me to feel confident in my own skin again and just made me feel like I found a "home" to workout. I could go on and on - but need to experience it for yourself to understand. Shoot Kristina an email, purebarremdr@gmail.com I'm sure she will hook you up with a first class free. read more

Kristina is super friendly (studio owner), the studio is super cute, a diverse group of folks (variety of ages, sizes, shapes, and colors!) that take the class and the instructors are great and motivating (they also offer corrections to help you get the best out of your workout and the music is fun). Honestly, the warm welcoming environment surprised me, and it made such a big difference in the motivation I had for class and the workout. It's in a plaza, and more than adequate parking. Wear sticky socks; or purchase them there so you don't slide when you do planks! :) read more

I appreciate the friendly staff . Most all the instructors are very energetic and upbeat . The PB workout is very effective I really like the group class experience it works much better for me as opposed to going to the gym . I have really felt better since becoming a member classes are affordable . In addition to the studio offering a different types of classes to switch up classic routine. read more

I've been a soul cycle addict, but Pure Barre has been a great alternative for an awesome core workout! The teachers are attentive and help correct your form so you can achieve maximum results. *Bonus, is that it's very close to my office, and I am able to get lunch time classes in since they have a class at 12:15pm M-F read more

As someone who has never taken a group fitness class--like, in my entire life--let me just say that Pure Barre changes everything. First of all, the vibe at this place is so cheerful and bright, I could hang out there all day. Kristina, the owner, is both kind and friendly; she has a natural gift for drawing people in and making them feel welcome. I truly believe she sets the tone of this place and it's no accident that you leave with smile. Each instructor comes with her own personality and sense of humor. They are all equally motivating and encouraging. That said, I have a special place in my heart for Brittany because she was my first instructor and made me realize that Pure Barre was something I could actually do. Darlene is my other fave because she somehow manages to smile--genuinely smile--through the entire workout. She is like a little light. What I love most about Pure Barre is that I am never bored, always challenged, and constantly strengthening my body. In just 13 classes I have seen some huge improvement in my posture, balance, and muscle tone. After having three kids I assumed a "perky" butt was a lost cause. Now, I've got both the belief and the tools to get that "Pure Barre Ledge" going. Know what I'm sayin? Love this place. You will, too! read more

I have been a long time Pure Barre fanatic. This is the third one in LA I attended, before moving to Northern CA (I miss my PB home sooo much!) The studio is wonderful. Kristina is so sweet, as others have mentioned already. Every single teacher is *amazing* at what they do. They are all super energetic, motivational, and make every single class fun. You will get detailed instructions and thoughtful corrections throughout class. My favorite aspect is the empowering energy and atmosphere. This studio is a standout for those reasons and embodies everything I love about Pure Barre generally. There's a sense of community and the consistent challenges keep you engaged. The 100, 250, and 500 club also help! Who doesn't love sparkly socks? I always looked forward to going to class, even at 6 in the morning! The studio itself is also adorable. The colors, the space, the decor, plus there are inspirational quotes everywhere. Love it! Oh and of course this place will change your body and mind in the best way. You'll feel the burn and get stronger with each class you attend. So, what are you waiting for? Make this place your new home :) read more

After having my third child, I wanted a workout that would tone my flabby belly, sagging butt, and jiggly thighs. I found Pure Barre in Marina Del Rey and the first class kicked my butt. I could already feel all my muscles starting to tone up after the first class. These classes are no joke and will help you tone your body if you can commit to going at least three times a week. The teachers and the owner are so friendly and always make you feel welcome. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to look good and tone up! read more

If you want a great workout Pure Barre MDR is an awesome place to go! The studio is super cute and Kristina is always so welcoming. I was a little hesitant at first and worried that the other girls working out were going to judge me, but the classes are filled with girls of all different shapes, sizes, and ages :) All of the instructors are so helpful and friendly. I love that they come around and tweak your form and give you pointers to really help you feel the burn. What I really like about barre is that you really get your muscles working and shaking and then when you think you can't go any further you go into the stretches which feels amazzzzing. I've had several knee injuries and was going to physical therapy before coming to PB. After just a few weeks of PB my physical therapist saw a big difference in my muscles and my form. He told me to keep doing whatever I'm doing because it's making a huge difference in my rehab. The best part of the workout for me is the end stretch. The instructors almost make it like a quick little meditation and it's so relaxing. The lights are off, the nice smelling towelettes fill the air, and the music is calming. You really walk out of the class feeling refreshed and energized! read more

I went to Pure Barre MDR the second day it opened and the studio was so put together, clean and beautiful. The studio is a great location with plenty of parking, and has really fun merchandise. Kristina and her staff and beyond friendly and make each member feel so welcome. The workout is fast paced, fun and energizing. It is similar to other bar classes but with a few different techniques and moves. Be prepared to sweat, and you will definitely be sore! Can't wait to incorporate this into my weekly workouts! read more

My first ever Barre experience and couldn't be happier! The classes are fast and challenging, but you get the swing of things after a few classes. I'm exercising muscles I barely ever touch with my usual routine which I love too! The staff have also been incredible! So flexible with my changing schedule and letting me postpone my intro month date to accommodate my travel plans. read more

Tried to take a class with Katlin today...I was very disappointed. First of all this is not my first class I was referred by health insurance company and was very happy with Pure Barre I just had a bad experience that I can not get out of my head t Pure Barre Marine....I have taken class with other instructors that been very helpful. But today I was having a hard time. Katlin walk by look at me ....I look at her thinking she was going to help me in so way. But she did not. She helped the three that were on the side of me. Which I thought was very rude. What wrong with me why not help me also... I do have some thoughts as to why. But I just hate to go there. But I cannot go back to that pure barre because I will always remember the look of disqust she gave me. But I do like Pure Barre will try another one. I like the one in Culver City but transferred to the Marina because it was closer for me. Maybe I will try Bar Method which is across the way. I also would like Thank the girl at the front desk she was very nice and considerate. read more

Severely disappointed. I live right across the street and have been wanting to try this studio for years. I show up with grip socks, which I've used at various studios over the years, thinking these will suffice. I check in with Rosanna at the front desk. She informs me I can't wear open toed grip socks and I need to purchase the close toed ones they have for sale for $18. I hadn't brought my credit card with me and I let her know I'm not sure how I can purchase them. She says I can give her my BANK ACCOUNT details to purchase them. She is adamant about having me purchase them right then and there, while the class is starting. I do want to mention it's my first class and I have no idea what to do and already feeling uneasy about this interaction. I don't know how to access my bank account details and she says to go ahead and start class. Class was great and the instructor was fantastic. However, I come out to Rosanna having googled how to access bank acct details from a mobile phone. I am shocked but I oblige. She enters my bank acct details into the system but it won't read it. I assure her over and over again that I live right across the street and I will call with my credit card details to purchase the socks. She lets me know she has to leave but she will stay and wait for my call. Needless to say, I call her with my CC details and alas the close toed grip socks were paid for. So here I am searching all over ClassPass and my class email confirmation looking for the CLOSED TOED grip socks policy but I can't find it? If it was there, I wouldn't be writing this. I will never, ever go back to this studio. Terrible customer service. Honestly, if she would've just told me to go in and next class come with closed toed socks, my Wed morning would've started off much much better. read more

I've been to a couple other Pure Barre studios and this one is by far my favorite! The studio is cutely decorated, easy to get to, easy parking, and the instructors are really knowledgeable about what they do! They all make an effort to learn your name, and provide compliments and corrections when appropriate. The only downfall of this studio is the classes book up quickly so you'll likely need to waitlist if you don't plan in advance, but I guess that's because everyone loves it so much! Pure Barre is by far my favorite workout! read more

PB MDR is the best studio around! The owner and all the instructors are very welcoming and truly do care about you. Each instructor goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in class by helping you with your technique and encouraging you throughout. Even throughout the pandemic, they made sure Pure Barre went on, but in a safe way. They put their customers safety and priorities as #1. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants to feel a part of a fitness community while getting the best workout by amazing instructors! read more

I've been so happy with my experience at Pure Barre Marina! Love the teachers, the music, and the atmosphere. They make it so easy to feel comfortable and welcomed! Oh. And it always smells so good with the candles out front. An important detail! read more

I was so excited to see a Pure Barre location open so close to my place. And this is a beautiful one. It looks like a small boutique when you walk in, and the studio itself is spacious. They have the details covered- like a water bottle refill station. And there's plenty of parking. I've taken barre classes for years, and Pure Barre is my favorite by far. It is fast-paced and really gets the job done efficiently. I'm afraid to find out what would happen to my butt if I stopped coming. All the moves can be overwhelming at first, but stick with it. The owner and instructors are all super positive. And everyone else in class is too concerned about their own burning and shaking to care about you flailing about. read more

Never in a million years would I have thought about trying a barre class but I'm glad I did! I was a bit apprehensive at first as I was one of only two guys in the class, but the instructor and the owner was amazing. They were so easy going never did I feel out of place. Now I'm hooked, been a great supplement to my membership at Equinox across the street. Btw, the instructors Brittney and Danielle are the best! read more

Pure Barre - Kristina and Brittney are the best!! - Barre Classes Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Okay, I absolutely love barre. I have taken barre classes for 6 years at multiple studios. I've never run into a situation like this. First of all, the owner is very financially aggressive. I was charged for a second month automatically, and requested to be refunded as my schedule changed during the pandemic and I was no longer able to take any of the very limited classes due to work. Mind you, I am a health care provider... during the pandemic.. seeing patients, and there was nothing I could do about my schedule. Instead of refunding me the month she turned it into credits that expire that I still could not use due to my schedule and theirs. The set up at the hotel is terrible. They provided no equipment (pure barre Culver City does), the ground is uneven cement, and it was hard to see the instructor. They did not provide temporary ballet bars either. I never found an instructor I was crazy about. I'd find another barre studio now that more is open. read more

I've been taking pure barre for 7 years and have tried studios all over the US. This is without a doubt my favorite studio. The work out speaks for itself, but this pure barre takes it a step further. Every instructor is great and challenging, Kristina, who owns it is SO sweet and helpful. She's always responsive regarding memberships, cancellations, etc. I look forward to going there every morning, and know I'll always leave in a better mood than when I got there! Love my pure barre mdr family! read more

Such a wonderful community feel at Pure Barre MDR. Kristina, the owner, is so welcoming as are all of the instructors, Brittany, Carmen, Darlene, Marina, Aubrey, Tyler, Ryann and Lindsay! Thanks for all the support. Love you ladies!!! read more

Lovely, warm, and welcoming staff. Classes are amazing. Come 3-5x a week and you will see results in no time!

I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Pure Barre MDR. I've been going to classes with my friend Taneal while visiting the area and I want to move here just so I can keep going to this location! The staff has been so kind and welcoming. I feel like I'm with friends everytime I walk in the door. Not to mention it's a GREAT workout. The instructors are phenomenal and make class more or less challenging to accommodate all experience levels read more

Kristina's Pure Barre studio in MdR is awesome! Kristina is very welcoming and has amazing energy and all the instructors are awesome (have worked out with 5 of their instructors-Marina, Tyler, Celina, Aubre and Darlene). They all have different routines that are always different keeping workouts fresh and challenging. I'm new to Pure Barre after having a baby and the instructors are very knowledgeable in recommending modifications (especially Marina) which has been super helpful for a newbie like me. I wasn't expecting to sweat as much as I do in class and I'm sore in places I wasn't even aware had muscles lol! If you are looking for a highly effective low impact workout you must give Pure Barre a try! read more

Pure Barre MDR is my jam. my addiction. If you take a class here, even at 6AM, be prepared to be greeted by smiling faces, a spotless cute studio, and a kick ass workout by instructors who have a way of getting that last bit of energy out of you. When you walk out, you feel lighter, energized and ready to take on the day. Kristina, the studio owner, is one of the nicest people you will ever met. The instructors rock it. They are knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging and beyond kind. if doesn't matter what shape, size, age you are, you will feel right at home here. read more

Being new to the area this place has turned into my home away from home. Coming from someone who is not one to workout this class truly challenges your body, no matter where you are in the fitness process, leaving you feeling amazing every time! The instructors truly care about what is best for your body and work with you to meet your goals. Kristina and the instructors could not be anymore welcoming and I could not recommend this studio more. Go get your lift, tone, burn on! ;) read more

I'm loving Pure Barre - MDR. Kristina is wonderful, and all the girls make you feel welcome. I break a sweat for every class, and have a blast while Im doing it. The instructors all make you feel welcome, and you get the feeling that they actually care about you. I've had about 15 classes and not only am I noticing a difference, but my hubby is too! Come check it out! read more

I went to a free class since Pure Barre is new to my area. I loved the class and the instructor was great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would have a hard time making classes regularly with the current schedule. I'd like to see classes start a bit later during the week. read more

When I discovered a PureBarre studio was set to open near me I didn't hesitate to sign up for the opening special, that was November 2016. I was overwhelmed and overjoyed not only by the owner but the staff as well. Good vibes for all are felt in this establishment. These amazing ladies have checked every box on my list, I can't speak highly enough of them. Not only have I reaped the benefits of losing weight, toning and trimming my body, my mindset has improved too! I love calling PureBarreMDR my home away from home. Do yourself a favor and check it out, it's not easy but it's worth it! read more

I liked everything about it!! I took my first class last night. I haven't worked out in FOREVER. I was a little intimidated... Until I called and spoke with the owner Kristina. She was so sweet , welcoming informative and motivating. I was excited to start and literally started 20 minutes after she added my pack of classes to my account. I took the 6:45 pm class with Darlene who is just as amazing as Kristina. The facility is beautiful and smells amazing. Cubbies for your stuff and a bottle filler. The class was no joke, even for the other in the class. Darlene was so helpful , and motivating I felt NO judgment and everyone was super nice. The class format , the music and the atmosphere was perfect. I can't wait to get back in there! Looking forward to what these classes are going to do for me! Parking is easy its right next to a CHASE bank. read more

I am not connected in any way with the aforementioned. My name is Mark Winn and I am writing this review for Pure Barre MDR because;first of all the business is and was kind enough to offer a new student a first free class! I took this class today, Tue Dec 3rd midmorning in the Marina Del Rey location. I hadn't taken a pure barre class prior to today; yet I have taken an assortment of Yoga classes, dance stretch, ballet, dance movement for actors, weight trained, swimming, running, and gymnastics over the years. And I have worked and continue to work in various physically demanding jobs. So I was up for the challenge. I took the basic Foundation class which turned out to be a gentle introduction into the specifics of Pure Barre. Both the owner, Ms.Kristina T., Ms. Brittany the instructor for the specific class and a Ms. Sophia from the night before did prep me on the sort of things I would experience. And since I am re-cooperating from a hamstring minor injury this was definitely the class to take.Since this class was an intro; it was a small class and Brittany did give some individualized attention which was and is good. Especially for a sometimes perfectionist as myself who wants to do it right. The space itself is minimalist so to speak;small but very clean,cozy and one of the biggest differences is;and in comparison to other studios dance etc.no hardwood floor.The floor is composed of a material-I forgot to ask what it is called." It looked like carpet but it really wasn't . Per se. It kinda sorta felt in between an all weather indoor-outdoor track material. But it was and is very comfortable and with a small yoga or workout mat included really added to my experience. The beginning began with some light cardio movement, then sequed to various ,major muscle groups; thighs and buttocks. In addition chest,arms,back both with and without very light weights really provided; as is said in wt. training verbiage. " A good burn!!" In addition one of the most;and I would add the toughest body part areas which Pure Barre stresses is the CORE!!! the abs- as they are referred to...And pure barre attacks these parts from angles I had forgotten existed!!!! And it kinda sorta makes me ponder: " I wish I didn't like to drink an assortment of fine wines and spirits!!!!' " So...once again I was told that more women take pure barre than men!! ??? Duh?? Question mark? This workout in ,my own opinion would challenge the toughest of tough guys on eitherthe grid iron, the courts, the track and field,construction industry, U name it!!!!!! So I make the challenge to all men out there! if u think u are Big and Baad enough!!!! take a Pure Barre Class! Take a few Pure Barre Classes!!!!!! And trust me! No trust your body-mind and spirit! You will feel the difference!! Mark A. Winn read more
