I recently started Pure Barre and I absolutely love it! The girls at the studio are so welcoming and encouraging and they even call you by name during class to tell you if you are doing a good job, which shows that they really want everyone to get the most out of their classes. They help me fix my body to ensure that I am doing each move correctly so that I get the most out of every class. It is such a positive and upbeat environment, that makes going to the classes so much more enjoyable! Not to mention, the workout itself is a challenge that you would really never expect! It challenges you to work those tiny muscle groups that we all want to tone the most, and it targets those ares just perfectly! As someone who primarily lifts weights, I thought this class would be a breeze but boy was I wrong! It's such a different type of workout than what I am used to, but it is the perfect type of workout to incorporate into your regular workout regimen and I can already tell the different just after a few weeks! 100% recommend pure barre to anyone who is looking for a different challenge, in a fun and positive environment!!! read more

I started going to Pure Barre once a week about 2 months ago for marathon cross-training. For years I've struggled with shin splints and ankle tendonitis due to only running, having very flat feet and poor core support. I have found, in just these few weeks, a noticeable difference in my running performance and flexibility. Pure Barre has strengthened my core, my glutes (or "seat" as we call it) and back to carry my body weight better and help support my legs. While new to Pure Barre, I am familiar with yoga and other strength/stretching based workout classes. I really, really, really appreciate the instructors at Pure Barre CWE who take the time to get to know you on an individual level, call you by name, and help correct your postures to ensure you are getting the best burn as well as not injuring yourself. This is imperative for any novice Barre student. I'll be coming back for the rest of the spring and highly recommend this to anyone, especially runners who struggle with overuse injuries, that wants to work on their fitness and confidence! Thank you Pure Barre CWE!!! read more

Pure Barre is hands down the best work-out I've ever done! It's challenging but fun, and you can see results after just a few classes. I especially love the intense focus that the isometric movements require and the mind-body connection that this builds. The 55 minutes of class are an escape that allow you to focus on creating a strong body. In addition, the work-out never gets old because you can constantly push yourself to achieve new goals. I have been a Pure Barre client at great studios in Nashville and Chicago. When I moved to St. Louis, one of the first things I did was sign up for classes at the Central West End studio, and I have had an excellent experience so far! They offer a convenient class schedule, and the instructors are high energy and lead great classes. The studio is spacious, and for those who live in the CWE you can't beat the location - it's an easy walk from the large apartment complexes in the area. I'm very excited to continue working towards my fitness goals at Pure Barre - St. Louis Central West End! read more

This review is long overdue! Pure Barre has changed my body more than any other workout... pilates, yoga, running, boot camps... barre has helped me get in the best shape of my life. The CWE studio is great - a really nice space and awesome teachers. Here are some things I've learned along the way: -this workout is HARD (muscle fatigue!)- but in the years I've been doing barre, I've NEVER had any injuries. In fact, I've noticed that the strength I've built through barre has helped prevent injuries in other activities. -teachers can help you modify! Don't compromise your form - the teachers are really knowledgeable and can offer options to get the most out of the exercises. -you WILL get out what you put in. Once I started going a few times a week, I made alot of progress. It took me awhile to understand what they meant when they said "embrace the shake" (the little shaking of muscles when they get fatigued). I noticed that I got stronger and leaner once I got comfortable pushing things to that edge. LTB :) read more

I started Pure Barre because I really needed a change from my normal HIIT, running, and lifting. I was honestly afraid that I wouldn't find it challenging enough, but I was incredibly wrong. It's surprising how such small movements can really whip you into shape and make you feel muscles you hadn't felt in a while. The classes are great and the time flies by overall, even when some movements feel like they last forever. The staff is incredibly helpful -- were available via Facebook messenger to save me a spot when I couldn't register online and give me parking tips -- and the instructors give excellent direction and constructive feedback during class. I immediately feel changes when my form is addressed, which again as a lifter, I truly appreciate and focus on. It's a learning process for sure, but sticking with it is worthwhile! read more

I attended Pure Barre classes at the Central West End studio for the last three months while living in Saint Louis. I was new to barre classes when I started, and I cannot say enough good things about the class and the studio. I noticed improvements in my strength, posture, and flexibility within the first two weeks of classes. The class is challenging no matter what your level of fitness, and the instructors do a good job meeting you where you are. It did take me several classes to really get the hang of Pure Barre, but once I did it was of the best workouts I have ever had. All of the instructors at the Central West End studio are very good, but a few are truly PHENOMENAL - Brianna G., Claire, and Holly in particular will take a lot of time to teach you proper form during class, and their classes are uniformly awesome. read more

I'll admit it ... I am clumsy and uncoordinated, and for these two reasons alone, I was a bit hesitant to take advantage of Pure Barre's $99.00 introductory offer. In spite of my misgivings, I joined, and it has been the best fitness commitment I have EVER made. The staff is welcoming and friendly. After about 10 minutes in my first class, I knew this type of fitness regime was for me. I have just taken my fifth class and I am hooked. For those who may be indecisive about joining, I encourage you to try Pure Barre. You will lift, tuck and burn, and in the process, you will become inspired and impressed by the inner strength you may have never knew you had! Mary M. read more

I have now taken 6 classes and was very out of shape when I started. I definitely see progress already which is really encouraging. As an older 50 something it was hard to stick with it since many of the other participants are younger and in better shape. When I stopped worrying about the other people in the class and asked for help from the very nice and helpful instructors, however, I started enjoying the classes more. It is hard but it is a fantastic workout for your whole body. Every instructor I have had has been excellent. They are so genuinely positive and the clearly want everyone to succeed and get the most out of the workout. read more

I have just started at Pure Barre and I am already hooked! I was looking for a full-body work out that leaves me feeling stronger and this has definitely hit the mark. The studio itself is very spacious and clean. I have had multiple different instructors so far and all of them have been excellent. They will give slightly different variations on the class making each session unique. They also give you slight correction during class to make sure you are getting the moves right and really getting the most benefit out of class, which I really appreciate it. After only a week I already feel like my body is stronger and looks more toned. read more

I have really been in a workout slump since moving to Saint louis and leaving my gym. I have joined and visited a few in the area but nothin seemed to keep my interest. I took a free pure barre class at ballpark village that was offered and I absolutely loved the low intensity moves yet very challenging and the use of muscles I didn't know existed! Ouch! But a good ouch :) I highly recommend for anyone looking to get motivation and it helps when you go with a friend because although the first class you may seem confused, it gets easier and you have a friend to laugh and be confused the first time with. read more

I have never taken a workout class before, so I was a bit nervous before my first class, but Pure Barre CWE made me feel welcome and comfortable from the start! I'm a runner and do a sprinkle of strength conditioning, and Pure Barre is an amazing way to supplement my running and avoid injuries- my mobility and strength have increased already and i've only been to 5 classes. It's such a positive environment and probably the one hour of my week when i'm the least stressed out, and i'm really glad i took the plunge and tried that first class (for the sake of both my emotional and physical health). read more

I am new to Pure Barre, but I have had a great experience thus far. I really appreciate how quickly the instructors have learned my name, and am enjoying the workouts. Pure Barre is different than any other group fitness class I have taken, and I am often surprised at how hard I am working. The small isometric movements are tougher than you think! Each class is slightly different, and the time goes quickly. I am so glad they play music, because occasionally I let out a groan before I can stop myself. If you have been thinking about trying a class, do it! read more

I've been to some really great barre classes but Pure Barre is by far my favorite. The exercises are hardcore and hit basically every muscle in your body. The instructors are all very energetic and upbeat. They make sure your form is perfect so you're working the right muscles. The mats are very thick and the floor is carpeted. There has always been enough space on the barre for everyone when I go (although I only go during early mornings so I can't comment on classes later in the day). If you really commit you'll see results! read more

Love love love love this location and the staff! This is the first place I've consistently worked out at because I love it so much. Even when I have an instructor who's newer, I can't tell the difference. They're all so friendly and sweet (especially considering they help me make adjustments and I'm always the sweatiest person in class). A lot of them will help me make adjustments and are great at explaining the logic behind it so that I understand and it's easier to repeat the next time around. I'm never leaving! read more

I have loved my experience getting started with Pure Barre. The staff is always friendly and the instructors are great. It is an amazing workout that gets my muscles shaking! The more classes you do the better you are able to isolate and focus on different muscle groups. I have been going to classes here and there since having my second kiddo and am really starting to see the results. I love that they have lots of different package options since I don't have a lot time for working out. read more

Have now attended 5 classes and despite still not having a complete hang on all the exercises, I am sold!!! Pure Barre's workout is a perfect complement to my other workouts like spinning, hybrid and strength conditioning. Pure Barre's CWE facility is top-notch with a high degree of cleanliness and friendly, caring employees. And despite being the only male in all 5 classes, I am made to feel welcome and it feels great to be able to add the barre skills to my wellness plan. read more

I really enjoyed my experience with Pure Barre! I have never taken a class that involves small/isometric movements before, and at my first class, the instructor was very helpful in getting me acquainted with the equipment and format of the class. During subsequent classes, I was occasionally a little confused about how to do different exercises, but overall the instructors were super friendly, energetic, and helpful. I have already recommended Pure Barre to my friends! read more

My Experience with pure barre in central west end, was great first thing that happens when you walk in the doors you're greeted by a few of the people who work there and they ask if you need anything and then go to class. I tried many classes with different teachers and each and everyone of them were amazing! The cross was enjoyable they played five music very up beat very fast really tones your legs hips and abs. I will definitely be going back very soon!! read more

I have done Barre classes in the past, but none compared to PureBarre. It is pretty strenuous and pushes you to the limit. After only a few weeks in the class, I notice definition and physical changes. The music helps the time fly by and the staff and instructions are all really nice at the CWE spot (I simply have not been to the other location). The first week free and discounted first month are a deal not to miss. I would highly recommend! read more
