I came in for a complimentary class and liked it so I signed up for classes which I now regret. I'm an entrepreneur with a super busy schedule and Pure Barre' classes do not accommodate for people with busy schedules. I was unable to find classes that fit with my busy schedule so I tried to cancel and they 1) are forcing me to pay for an additional month because apparently that's their policy so BUYER BEWARE, 2) despite me not using any of the classes they still are charging me, 3) I have been stalked by Pure Barre Park Ridge staff with texts, emails, phone calls, and voicemails that I owe them money. Pure Barre seems to do business just like a bill collector would and their policies are for their own good - not the customer. The classes themselves are fine but I would never recommend this company to anyone because of their cancellation policy, their bill collection nature, and their limited choices of classes. FYI if you need to cancel and they're giving you a hard time just tell them you're moving out of the area because according to their policies that's the only way you can get out of their contract without a penalty. They also don't tell you when you sign up that you're obligated to essentially purchase 2 months of classes. They were NOT transparent at all about this when I signed up. They push you on the $79 introductory deal but fail to mention everything else. I do not recommend. read more

I love this place! I come here every weekday morning to start my day. The workout is hard and leaves you shaking for days but at the same time is light weight and low impact. Great teachers, great community, and I always leave feeling great! read more

Pure Barre Park Ridge = my happy place Two years in and still totally hooked! The workouts are fire , the studio is super clean, and the people are just the best. Shoutout to Renee -- queen of form, fun, and making your muscles shake in all the right ways Every class kicks my butt (in a good way), and I somehow keep coming back for more. If you're thinking about trying it -- do it! You'll thank yourself later (after the soreness wears off ). read more

Pure Barre - Barre Classes Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I started going to Pure Barre in Park Ridge with a groupon that my sister got me. At first I wasn't sure what to expect but I got my friends to sign up too and we all started going whenever we could. I've been going for over 3 months now and I have to say I'm definitely stronger than I was when I first started. I really like the instructors and hope that in the future they will bring back the foundations class. I've migrated to a regular membership now that my groupon ended. I really like the classes and the instructors. Everyone there is super friendly and so motivating. I still dread the class (or any exercise in general lol) but after the workout I always feel better. The team here is wonderful and I always look forward to seeing my favorite instructors :). read more

Pure Barre - Motivating post it on my Fall Fit Challenge board! - Barre Classes Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

Highly recommend!! Such a warm friendly and non-intimidating atmosphere! Brit (instructor) was super helpful as I was new to barre, and didn't know what to expect. She, and the entire staff, were really encouraging and supportive. read more

Everyone here is really super freakin nice and really super freakin helpful and really super freakin encouraging. They're just freakin amazing all around. I decided to break out of my comfort zone and try something new and different. I purchased the groupon for 5 classes which I believe was 35.00. I will say they offer a free week on their site. When I signed up, there was some confusion and they thought I got the week free. I of course couldn't do both so I had to stick with the groupon which all worked out in the end. I love the availability of classes. They range from very early morning to 8pm M-F. The weekend classes are usually reserved. All the instructors I have been with were all really sweet and helpful. They do not judge for horrible technique and form, aka me and instead try and help you out through the class by either saying encouraging comments or helping you adjust your form one on one throughout the class. It's very intense. I will say I noticed a huge difference from my first class to my 5th. I can't imagine if I kept going for a whole month. Unfortunately for me it's not in my area and not within my budget at this time. As previous reviews mentioned, they then offer 99.00 for a month that's consecutive days. And after that, it's like 130-150 a month. If the location and budget works for you, I highly recommend! read more

While on a business trip, I knew I had to have some type of normalcy in my life so I decided to sign up for a Barre class at this location. I was excited that they allowed me to take a single class for just $10. The studio is in a little cute area of Park Ridge near a bunch of restaurants and stores. It's pretty big and the front part of it literally looks like a boutique. I was instantly welcomed with a goodie bag that included a 15% off merch which lets be real, of course I used. The class set up is a bit different and it looks like equipment is already pre -set out, other than you have to get your own weights. Class flow was great and our instructor really pushed us and I never felt like any part of the class was easy. I was sweating my behind off the whole time! Even though I was visiting, the instructor make sure to remember my name and gave me some compliments throughout. At the end I bought a cute shirt and they definitely had some cute merch. Great experience, clean studio, and really friendly people! read more

What a great workout! Although I've only gone to 5 classes, I can honestly say that I walked out of each class sore because all my muscles were being challenged. Most students keep to themselves (which makes pre-class time a little uncomfortable and off-putting), but the staff and instructors are friendly and encouraging. They even make it a point to learn each students name to provide specific in-class motivation. Very clean and pleasant environment with ample parking in nearby lots and on the street. Two accounts were created for me (both with incorrect info) so, the first 2 days of trying to book classes though the app was a little bit of a nuisance. But once resolved, booking classes was easy. Class sizes are limited, so, reserve your spot early if you want to attend a class. read more

Came here for a Barre class for the first time yesterday as a free guest with my friend, and let me tell you, my first impression was great! It was a great experience and our instructor Maria was a real sweetheart. I didn't know what to expect when I came in, but she made me feel super welcome and she was informative about the certain terms and cues I would come across in the class. I am a fit person, but I don't really work out or go to a gym on a normal basis, so this class kicked my butt into gear. This location is super clean and has a reception desk in the front room with little cubbies so you can put your belongings and shoes in there during the 50-minute class. The backroom is one large room with ballet barres and a huge mirror that wraps around the room on three sides. Although the class was only 50 minutes, you work out every part of your body and my arms, butt, thighs, and abs definitely burned after...IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE OF COURSE! Literally, my thighs were shaking so much because of how much we did in such a short amount of time, and my legs felt like jello. The class is fast-paced, and my friend said that almost every class you go to has different routines so you never really get used to a set one, which is awesome to me. For the class, we used a small red ball, weights, and a double tube. The instructor walked around the room during the workout so that she could help your form... which was so great because she didn't say anything to you or embarrass you, and she helped out everyone. She also would say great form and she would say your name during the class so it made me feel very comfortable from the get-go. Unlike going to a gym, this place makes everyone feel comfortable and you do not get that annoying feeling of people judging you in any way. The mirrors help you follow along with other people's movements. Overall, I would love to come back and buy a membership, though memberships are pretty expensive, so I may use a Groupon because I found some great deals on there. Both guys and girls are welcome in these classes, although my whole class was full of women. I cannot wait to return! read more

Super friendly staff! I bought the Groupon and had a minor freak out when the directions required activation by email, and said it could take up to 48 hrs (I srsly was dying to get my barre on the next day). A quick phone call and voicemail shortened that to something crazy like half an hr. I also loved that when I arrived for class the props were already set up, so I knew exactly where to stand, and they had the Bride sticky socks I'd been searching for (even though I got married in May, it's close enough ;)). I loved how intense the beginning of class was - it set the foundation for the rest of it. Class was fun, energetic, and went by so fast! Oh, and the studio is spotless and spacious. It also has a bunch of cute workout gear, so you can get your shop on before class. There are two bathrooms and cubbies in the waiting area (unlike other Pure Barre's that put them on the other side of the workout room). Oh, and just in case you're new to barre - no shoes here. The studio is carpeted, so don't forget to bring your grippy socks. Now, on to getting buff. I've been around the barre block, and enjoyed the fast pace here. For the class we used weights, a ball, and a double tube. The instructor walked around the room making adjustments (which were on point and private - no yelling and calling you out in front of everyone from across the room). Overall, my arms, seat, and thighs felt the burn. We did our abs with our backs against the wall, and since that's not something I'm used to, it'll def take a few more visits to get it right. Also, like any barre class, it takes some time to learn the cues, so I can only imagine the burn after a few more classes! Oh, and their Pure Empower class is perfect for those wanting to get more of a cardio fix (and a vast improvement on their previous Platform class), and don't forget, Pure Barre is totally cool with guys, so bring your boys to the barre! Update: I had to take off one star. In the three months I went here, one instructor taught the same exact arm routine every single class. It got so off-putting I didn't even make it through all my classes. read more

Boutique fitness that doesn't have ponytail holders on hand (but definitely available for purchase). Cheappppp

I'm not sure how nobody has reviewed this location yet. I came here with a 10 class Groupon and am 7 classes in. So far, I love it. The staff is not only highly professional, but they are also very nice. The facility is quite clean, and the apparel shop has really cute options, though the prices are on the higher end. A shirt I liked was over $50. It will take 2 or 3 classes before you feel like you kinda know what you're doing. So don't give up after your first class which WILL seem awkward and confusing. Most importantly, I'm seeing results after just 7 classes. It's kinda crazy. I've never had a workout where the results came this quick. They offer a $99 unlimited first month membership special that I plan to buy when my Groupon is up. The only downfall is that after that prices get really steep. I think 139 or 149 a month. That is just too high for my personal budget, though totally worth it if you can swing the cost. Lastly, they do a lot of fun client specials. The past couple weeks they had a raffle where of you check in on social media you get entered for prizes. One might they did Wine Wednesday and had free wine after class and 15% off apparel. Those little things are a nice personal touch to working out. read more

I took barre classes at my physical therapist recommendation. Bonus, there was a Groupon and ended up paying $5 for 20 classes. Big score! I personally enjoyed the classes. I feel that they did strengthen my hip flexors. However... 1. once my Groupon classes were done I thought that the price for 1 class was too high. 2. There are classes at different times, but i feel that their focus is on stay-at-home persons and i found it hard to find a 3 classes a week that work with my schedule. 3. They allow early birds to reserve spots for friends. I found it really hard every Saturday morning to arrive 10 min before the class starts and to find that there are no real spots on the floor. I personally needed to work my pushups and planks at the barre and every Saturday i could not find a spot by the bar because half the class who were there reserved spots for others who did not arrived yet. That really pisses me off. 4. From all the instructors, I personally found Alex and Hope to be the most useful and clear about direction and instruction. read more

Came to this location consistently for over a year and loved it! Ended up not coming back after they changed their pricing/ monthly structure last year. I used to buy 20 packs of the classes since I travel for work and can't commit to a certain amount of classes per month. I now go to a different Pure Barre studio in the area that uses ClassPass instead. Hope they join ClassPass in the future because I would definitely come back! read more

Only good things to say about this studio and their staff. Warm welcoming and encouraging staff. Ladies of all fitness levels are in class. It's a very effective and efficient work out with tons of scheduling options. Highly recommend. read more

This place is terrific, the instructors helpful, the studio is very accommodating. You are challenged and the instructors will work with you to be sure you getting the most out of your workout. One thing I found is that the instructors have a very good instinct for when to help you improve your moves and push yourself and when to let you continue in an adaptive mode. It is a clean well-run studio. The atmosphere is friendly and professional. The instructors are friendly and very skilled at working with each student so there is constant and consistent improvement. read more
