Great workout studio and such a friendly atmosphere! I fell off the workout wagon for about 6 years and tried barre to get me back up and going again. They offer a free foundations class to teach you the moves and lingo and introduce you to the pure barre family. I was extremely happy I signed up for this class for two main reasons. 1- it seriously helps you learn the lingo and form you will be using in every class. This is where I met Holly, an instructor and manager who was so welcoming and friendly. That leads me to number 2. This class gave me the courage to come back. I want to make it clear this is a great workout. They will push you to your limits and you will feel great afterwards. But this class and Holly made me feel encouraged, welcomed and enough which is what I feared for so long. This is what you get when you come to this studio. I came back for my second class called classic which is 50 minutes of pure work!! I am still learning the form, still getting used to it and that's ok. I give it my best, my instructor Kayla was awesome and gave me tips throughout and then followed up with me after class. If you are in a similar situation to this post, try this class!! You will not regret. My favorite part is that the moves are low impact and high intensity so anyone of any fitness level or age can take this class! The studio is clean, large and offers retail too! They have an awesome app to schedule classes, set goals and keep track of your progress. They have ample class times to fit anyone's schedule and a variety of packages ranging from individuals classes, class packs or unlimited to for your needs and budget. This is an investment for your mind, body and soul which is so worth it! read more

Locking the door on people after being 1 minute late is a bit ridiculous. People don't work their entire lives around pure barre - people have jobs and there's traffic. Good workout but make sure you center your entire day around making it to your pure barre class because there is no 30 second grace period here! read more

Don't go! New owner has been charging me for five years since covid with my consent. I quit at that time. She only reached out to let me know my card didn't go through. I had no idea. No emails when she took over! She is a money grabber and doesn't care about her students or non existent students. read more

Took a barre class this weekend and it was really fun and challenging in a good way! I wish the instructor did more corrections because I'm sure my form was off at times but the movements and music was great. The hour long class flew by! I love the big parking lot and it was easy to find (signs in the building). The location is great - close to downtown. The place was clean and the front desk ladies were friendly. I left feeling like I had a good workout! read more

I enjoy the classes, the ease of booking classes that match my schedule and the instructors are nice.

You know what writers neglect to mention 99% of the time they review exercise businesses like this? RESULTS! Sure, i want to go to a clean class and of course I hope the instructors are good at what they do but honestly, none of it matters if you dont get results. If i dont see before and after results on IG or on Yelp then i am skeptical. However, i found a groupon deal which is why i gave barre a try. it didnt do a thing for me. Before anyone runs me over with hate messages, I eat clean, plant based and I watch my macros so a good workout should be all i need to really improve my body. Barre didnt so it for me. Maybe it will for you but Im telling you it did not slim me down further or tone me. That is why im giving 4 and not 5 stars (should be 3.5). I have about 5lbs that I want to get rid of and I want to tone my legs so i try barre for a month. If you can get that muscle shake consistently, then youll get a good workout. The issue is the classes are so full the instructors cant watch everyone all of the time and if you can't get the form right and get that muscle shake then the work out is basically worthless. sure it is better than sitting on the couch but you arent going to get the results you want. Sure, this place is worth a try for sure. The facility is clean and there is ample parking. The prices are fair compared to pilates classes. You really have to have a certain temperament for these classes. Are you a high energy cardio junkie or low energy low impact exerciser? If the former, then these classes may leave you unsatisfied. If you enjoy yoga and hate all of the HIIT exercising where you run around overturning oversized tires and crap like that then this is more likely to be your speed. read more

Pure Barre St.Pete is the best. I love the format of each class. The instructors are so kind, helpful and encouraging. I am someone who needs a class to workout and it's rare that I stick with something, normally I get bored. This hasn't happened with barre at all. Do you self a favor and give it a try!! read more

I love pure barre! I used to dance from when I was very you all the way up to college. With several classes a week, dance pretty much kept my weight even and I didn't do a lot outside of that besides the occasional run. When I went to college, I quickly found out I needed to do something or I would be a beached whale before long. I was very careful not to overeat and actually lost between 15-20 lbs during my first year(yeah, I was also in the mountains of Va and had to walk hills to and from class for the first time ever). I tried several things off and on, but even running was always seemed boring. When I moved back to St Pete, I heard that PB was opening and I definitely wanted to try. I bought the groupon because it was a great deal and I thought if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have wasted much money. I took my first class in Dec 2013. Coming it the the studio, Jillian, the former manager, put my mind at ease, helping me and my friend check-in and get the equipment we would need. I will say, the first class I was completely lost and the following days I was in a great deal of pain from using muscles that I hadn't used in a long time, but I also felt better than I had in a long time. I have continued to go, and when life isn't crazy, and my schedule allows, I can feel a HUGE difference in my body and energy level. It's safe to say I am a Pure Barre addict! I definitely recommend you try it. I was concerned when the former manager moved away, but the new manager, Brittney, is wonderful, as are all of the teachers! Please give it a chance and don't get scared away after your first class! read more

Pure Barre - This was the post from when I joined the 100 club in Nov 2014 for completing 100 classes - Barre Classes Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Rugged place kinda like a orange theory! Set programs for huge classes not all types of people!! The exercises may and may not be right! If you're super out of shape maybe this can be a spot for you to build a stepping stone for better things and you can do it with friends! read more

Pure Barre St. Petersburg is such a gem! Group fitness can be intimidating but the people here are what set the studio apart from any other. Brooke and Holly are instructors and Holly also manages the studio. They both care about each clients goals and individual needs. Brooke has a background in dance and massage therapy so she is super aware and knowledgeable of making accommodations for any injuries or concerns you may have. Pure Barre St. Petersburg is far beyond just a workout class. It's a place where people gather to encourage each other and work toward a better lifestyle. read more

The Pure Barre studio in St. Petersburg is conveniently located, has good instructors, and a full schedule. Pure Barre is a fun, fast-paced barre workout, with a mostly female client base. If you're not familiar with a barre-type workout, it's a bit like Pilates meets ballet fundamentals. A technique designed to elongate and "lean out" the body (ideally). Pure Barre is one of the most well-known barre exercise franchises, with hundreds of locations across the country. I've been to a few PB studios in other states/locations, but so far, St. Pete is my favorite. The instructors, the full schedule, the studio...it's a lovely community! I'm not much of a regular, but the instructors remember my name, which is very nice. :) The studio is well kept and clean--although there are no showers or bathrooms. In fact, if you do need to use the restroom, they'll give you a key to go into the main office building, where you'll find restrooms. A little inconvenient, but it's certainly not the worst thing that could happen. Perhaps the greatest thing about the Pure Barre St. Pete studio is...the clothing! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I've never seen so much (gorgeous and quality) clothing at a workout studio, and is it ever so tempting! They carry designer workout brands (Stella McCartney Adidas, etc.)--and wow, it makes me want to revamp my workout wardrobe, although I do resist. Sometimes they have sales, though--they're definitely worth checking out! Speaking of sales...the Pure Barre St. Pete studio also offers discounts on packages of classes, on occasion. If you subscribe to their emails (which I recommend), you'll be notified when they're offering a special (Fourth of July, Memorial Day, etc.). Typically, that's when I'll buy a few classes--and it ends up costing me around $15/class, which is reasonable (especially for a barre-type workout). If you want a good barre workout, and you want to pay a reasonable price, check out Pure Barre St. Pete! P.S. The one (or two) things I would change about Pure Barre is for the instructors to spend more time demonstrating the correct form/set-up, and having a little more time to stretch in class. read more

This is my second class and I'm in love. I burn mote calories than I do on my own. Melissa is great and always makes sure I have correct form. Caroline is so energetic and really kicks your butt! The class is fast paced but you wont feel lost. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I am down in St. Pete just for a month but typically do Pure Barre in Mclean- I thought I knew what I was getting walking in but the instructors down here are absolutely incredible! Holly is my favorite, she gives you just enough information to get the shake but doesn't over talk you. I also love how she seems to know that moment in everyone's head where they're about to pop out of the position and she says exactly what you need to hear to keep going. I'm only on class #8 but am seeing results as well as really feeling them. I feel stronger, more flexible and engaged every single class. What strikes me the most is every single class is challenging but stays really true to how bodies work and feel when being moved as opposed to a ton of studios up north who have sometimes complicated moves that make the class feel like less of an accomplishment. Every teacher I've had at this studio is superior to any I've had at any other Barre studio but Holly and Doly are worth rearranging your schedule for. Thanks for going above and beyond to create a warm environment where its more focused on the individual as opposed to the competitive atmosphere so many other studios have. Highly recommend Pure Barre St. Pete! read more

This is my third review for PBSP. For me, Pure Barre turned out to be the Goldilocks of workouts. I was in need of something challenging, but not too hard on my body. I wanted to tone my body, but not bulk up. I wanted to feel like a woman: proud of every curve and flaw. Pure Barre did just that for me. Within ten classes (as advertised), I noticed a big change in my body and other people did, as well. For a while, I had seemed to be at a plateau, but not with Pure Barre. Those little micro-movements are no joke. My body craves PB when I have to miss a class. To this day, I shake and sweat in my sticky socks during every single class. I've joined the 100 Club, the 250 Club, completed a few 20 in 31-day challenges, and am happily on my way to joining the 500 Club sometime in 2017. I LOVE Pure Barre and just can't get enough. When I'm really happy with something, I have to share it with everyone because I want other people to be happy, too! It's hard to keep my excitement contained about Pure Barre because it's not just a workout: it's a family, it's motivation, and it is a transformation for a healthier lifestyle. I love you all, PBSP. The instructors and clients have a special place in my heart. So, c'mon out and join the PBSP family. read more

I've been going to pure barre off and on for a year now and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! This class makes it easy to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable to working out! The instructors in St. Pete are great! read more

Not just an amazing workout, but an amazing studio atmosphere as well! I often loathe starting a new exercise routine, and Pure Barre was no different. I kinda hated my first class because it was so tough but since I bought an unlimited class package, I was forced to stick with it and I'm glad I did. If you are intimidated and worried about struggling through the class, try it with the expectation that EVERYONE struggles their first few classes but something clicks around the 5th class you take and it DOES get easier (but it's never actually easy!) and you will improve. I came to this location for about 3 months before my wedding in a last ditch effort to get toned. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed not only the workout but the somewhat trance-like meditative state I would achieve during class. Pure Barre is great for clearing your mind and having "me" time since the fast pace and unusual moves require so much mental focus. After a morning class, I'd feel mentally clear for the rest of the day. As others have said, the classes fly by, too. What I really appreciated about Pure Barre St Pete was the sense of community they've cultivated. The instructors and staff all knew my name within the first class of theirs I took (and some magically figured it out without me telling them) and remembered me every time I walked in. I was so impressed by the effort they put into recalling names, it is so different than the typical fitness studio where unless you're a regular, you feel kind of invisible to the staff. It may seem like such a small thing but to me feel so welcome and like I was really a part of the group although I was new. Shout out to Jamie and Brooke whose classes I took the most. Both were so thorough with their cues and hands on teaching. There are a lot of hardcore regulars but it never felt cliquey. I can't speak for the entire franchise but this location has achieved an incredibly welcoming vibe. After a few classes I was seriously looking forward to my next class, I truly loved coming here. I grew up dancing so I did also appreciate the parallels between the overall feel of Pure Barre and a dance studio. Obviously there's a barre, but the general movements and level of hands on correction felt like I was back in dance class. Former dancers will no doubt feel a sense of familiarity in the movements and environment, which probably explains why the majority of the instructors have dance backgrounds. Unfortunately I moved shortly after my wedding or else I would still be coming here. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a low impact group fitness class that is very addictive. Real quick need to touch on the big con: it's expensive, which limits who can afford it. They do offer specials quite often so load up on any reduced class or unlimited class packages. read more

Pure Barre has proved to me that you do not have to be intimidated by group fitness. Everyone including the staff and the other people taking the classes are welcoming and encouraging. Also, I have seen significant improvements in my overall fitness and now have muscle definition in places that I have never had before. I genuinely enjoy going to the classes and can truthfully say that Pure Barre has made me enthusiastic about working out. I highly recommend checking out a class! read more

I cannot explain how much I love coming to these classes! Every girl that works here is positive, fun, and SUPER friendly but they will kick your butt (in a good way) during the class. I have only been to 7 classes but I can see and feel a change in my body already I was skeptical on joining Pure Barre because I usually lift and was naïve to the fact that only using your body to build muscle was impossible HA! Was I wrong! Check it out boys and girls, you will become obsessed read more

Great studio and welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are professional, and well trained to help you maximize the results in each class. The classes have a constant flow. You get what you pay for here! Lots of class times and packages available! They have a lot of interactive activities within the studio going on to keep members active and motivated! So glad I joined! read more

Great location and beautiful studio! I've been to barre classes in other states, but never at a Pure Barre location. I'm always a little leary of a trendy fitness franchise, but Pure Barre does not disappoint. Everyone working there was very friendly and the instructor who taught my class, Brooke, had great energy, perfect cues, catchy tunes and (very important) great subtlety when adjusting form. I was lucky enough to cash in on a good Groupon deal, but they have affordable packages for all newbies and plenty of options for the regular barre enthusiast. As for me, after my first workout, I've committed to the "20 in 30" challenge, or twenty workouts in thirty days starting 6/1/15. Wish me luck! read more

This was my first pure barre class post-bad ankle sprain and it was great! Melissa worked with me to make sure I understood the moves, but she didn't push me past my limits. While I may not have done every move perfectly, I know I'll get there and I'm looking forward to doing just that at Pure Barre-St.Pete! I also noticed that the staff here is beyond friendly and way nicer than the staff in Arlington, VA (where I used to attend). read more

Pure Barre was AMAZING! Used muscles I didn't know I had. I'm an athlete and thought I was in shape but this workout, although very doable for any age or athletic capability, kicked my butt. The teachers and owner are incredibly attentive and helpful to a newbie like me. TRY IT! Can't wait to go back. read more

Having done a lot of different exercise classes over the years, I decided to try a Barre class for something different. I was SO surprised at how challenging it was and the class went by really quickly. I have done four classes so far and I love the workout and I am quite sore the day after. I look forward to attending more classes and watching the results. All of the girls at the St Pete location are so sweet and very helpful. The instructors make sure you have proper form during class which is very helpful. read more

Pure Barre is not an easy cutesy class. It is tough. Each class gets a little easier to complete but no one leaves a class without shaking, sweating and glad they came. There is an open house Jan 29th in St. Pete I would recommend checking it out. And men are welcome too, don't be scared! read more

I had given up on working out a long time ago, but decided to try Pure Barre because I never did well with just going to a gym. I loved that this is a class with instructors and decided to give it a try and see how I would do. I've been going now a little over a month and I have felt my body change sooo much! I feel so good now with the way my body is becoming! I definitely recommend this place and all the girls there are so sweet! read more

Pure Barre St.Pete is amazing. Wonderful instructors and space. This workout has been transformative for my body. Highly recommend.

I just love going here. You feel great when you leave. The instructors are so sweet! The workout clothes are out of this world...so adorable! read more

Love Pure Barre St. Pete. I run a lot and I have found that this workout is a great compliment to my running and allows my muscles to become more even. The music is great, it keeps the class moving. The fact that every class is 55 minutes is great, there are hardly ever any overages and you are in and out in an hour! Unlike other places there is almost always a space for you in class, even if you sign up in that parking lot or when you walk in the front door, giving you plenty of flexibility. I love the positive re enforcements you get from the instructors during class! read more

AMAZINGLY awesome low impact total body workout. Saw results in under 10 classes! The energy/atmosphere is unbeatable. Easy to get addicted to this workout! read more

Today was my first class and I loved it. It was super tough (which I like) and focused on all my "problem areas" -- a great workout. Holly was my instructor today and j really liked her...good energy, good coaching and upbeat music! read more

Update: Four years later, I'm still at it. I stand by my first review: The music remixes are still terrible (and if you hate a song, you are bound to hear it at least twice), it's fairly expensive (wait for the flash sales or if you're going more than 2-3x week, it may be worth the $99/month unlimited), I still can't name a single person in the classes other the instructors (but I still appreciate the accountability of group fitness because I won't quit half way through, no matter how much I hate the music). I think of fitness like investments: it's best to diversify and barre is that "little something different" in my routine that makes the difference in my body. It's a little sucky something but it's effective so I stick with it. Some days, I can keep up. Some days, I have to modify the moves. And they won't suggest modifications, but you are welcome to ask before or after class if you have injuries or illness that prevent you from doing exactly what they are doing. But they will remind you, "Listen to your body". read more

Best barre studio I've ever been to. Holly the manager is amazing and all the instructors are AWESOME! You will want to check this place out. My body has changed and never looked better, plus you kind of forget you're working out because it's so fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

When I went to my first Pure Barre class it was right after I had my daughter. I had a really tough pregnancy with many chronic issues and intern I gained 110 pounds and I've been struggling to get that weight off ever since I had my daughter. I remember walking into the studio and seeing all these gorgeous ladies, I did get some anxiety about whether I would be able to do the class and how I would feel in the class amongst my peers. I wondered if they would look at me like I didn't belong there or just kind of ignore my existence until I gave up. But the exact opposite happened, the instructors were warm, caring, interested in who I was, and genuinely helpful and kind. I knew then that they had what I wanted and it wasn't just the rock hard body's and a big smile's it was the inner Beauty and humble confidence. I still have a long way to go in my journey but in 2017 One of my goals is to make Pure barre one of the biggest parts of my life because it is an amazing environment and the classes are out of this world your body literally starts to take a different shape after two classes no matter your size. I can't say enough good things about Pure barre St Petersburg, The instructors, the other ladies that attend the classes. If you're not going out to Pure barre you need to start because I'm excited for what's to come for the inside and the outside of me and the possible friendships. read more
