The Define classes with Lauren are a standout--she brings such great energy and knows how to push you while keeping the workout fun and motivating. If you're looking for technique-focused strength training, Jackie's Classic Barre classes are equally amazing. They're challenging in the best way and really help you refine your form. What sets this studio apart is that the instructors actually correct your form and guide you safely through every movement. Too many fitness places just let you go through the motions, but here, you're supported and coached to do things properly--so you stay injury-free and see better results. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive, effective barre workout in Rochester! The community at PBR is the best. You'll leave not only feeling stronger but with a community of strong women by your side.

I came here and worked out some muscles I didn't even know I had. Just because you work out at the…read moregym on a regular doesn't mean you'll be able to do the exercises here with ease. You're lifting and pulsing your body in ways that you never have before. It was truly difficult for me to hold up. This is a nice boutique studio that looks like a dance room. There are mirrors so you can see if you're balancing right. There are bars on the wall kind of like ballet class. We did warm up exercises for about 10 minutes then got right into class which lasts about 40 minutes. My instructor Rachael gave me the run down of how class flows. You come in and take your shoes off at the door. I advised you to wear flips flops because you're required to wear grip socks to class. They have some to purchase along with other merchandise as well. There are lockers to put your belongings, then you grab the tools you'll need for class. You definitely want to use light weights if this is your 1st barre class. I used the 2 and 3 pounds weights which I've never done in my life but that was good enough for me. I like the warm up and the cool down period. This class made me sweat and cry because what do you mean hold my leg out then pulse for 10 seconds?? ‍‍ Good Lord, this was some work!!! But I'll gladly come back.

It was a different type of workout and really focuses on the core muscles. Joseph Pilates was a boxer and the reformers (still an odd name for machines) were to rehab athletes. Marleen has been my instructor and the sessions challenge my flexibility and strength. Located in the lower promenade of the 555 Building, it's two doors North of a spinning facility...a one stop conditioning center. A very nice discovery."

So far I did 4 classes with her (I haven't tried the other instructor yet but I will soon ) and each time there was someone new and she would take her time showing them also. I am now stronger and getting use to the reformer and love doing pilates. I would recommend this place for everyone. I am dragging a few friends to join me this weekend and my husband in a few weeks. I also can't wait to try the other instructors.

They were both so attentive and knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology and really helped support my strengthening work. They are both so detail oriented that I could actually feel which muscles were activating during our session's! The building was also really nice. All the equipment you need for a good session! I like the fact that they have single use cloth hand towels in the rest rooms! Finally! I almost cried when I saw this! Seriously
