I had never taken a Pure Barre class but I had heard of it from friends. A friend of mine gave me a…read morefree class pass, so I went and tried it out at the Ladue location. I was pretty nervous for my first class, and I had researched videos online of other people who had taken Barre and what to expect during class, so I was pretty ready for it. The first class was amazing! I hadn't worked out for a long time (1yr+), and I really felt like I got a full body workout. You will sweat but the class goes by really fast, because it's upbeat and the music definitely helps. I literally felt all of my muscles wake back up again and it was such a nice feeling after class. The only thing I wish they had was a shower in case we have to go to the office afterwards. The next day, I could tell that my mood was better, my diet was better, and I had a lot more energy. I couldn't wait to go back. I actually signed up for their $99 Intro Month package and I've been going 3 times a week. If you go 14 times in your Intro Month, you get free sticky socks :) Otherwise, your first class, you'll need to buy sticky socks for I think $25. I've already taken 5 Pure Barre classes and I've had a different teacher each time. Each teacher's style is different which I like because you work a different part of your body. For example, one teacher will really work abs, one will spend more time at the barre, one will focus more on arms, etc. I like the variety. I haven't take the Pure Empower or Pure Reform classes yet, but I heard Empower has a cardio component for weight loss and Reform uses the gliding disks to built strength. Can't wait to try those out too tbh. Before Pure Barre, I did spend a couple of years in dance and I also did Bikram Yoga for 10 years. I highly recommend Barre if you want a complete workout in a good environment. I can't wait to see my body change from this workout and I feel like I found something I can stick with and that I like a lot.

TLDR: exploitative membership terms, excessive penalties, poor quality instruction, and…read morenegligent/hostile management. Don't believe all the 5-star reviews, they solicit these with give-aways and raffles. Notice many of the reviews are from accounts that rarely ever review (especially on Google). Exploitative Membership Terms: If you want to buy more than a drop in class, PLNK puts you on auto renew / bill when you sign up, then restricts your ability to cancel in advance of the next billing cycle (must request in email 10 days in advance of the billing date).This keeps you locked in. Additionally, they heavily restrict the booking window on their passes. Classes are always booked out two weeks in advance. So, you're stuck with class passes you can't use, which then expire. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and at $30-35/class this really hurts. Excessive Penalties: They also penalize you with an extra $20 fee in addition to the $35 class fee you if you don't show up, and $15 fee if you cancel within 24 hours. They then take your space and give it to someone on the waitlist. If that person isn't there in person to take your spot when you no-show or last minute cancel, they are also charged a no-show fee. This is how they turn a $35 seat in their class into a $90+ seat. Negligent / Hostile Management: You aren't allowed to speak or interact with management -- they cite personal safety concerns (??) -- and instead put all the responsibility for dealing with guest complaints to their front desk staff who are unpaid interns. If you do manage to reach management via their anonymously maintained studio email addresses, they will gaslight you and and threaten you with being banned from the studio. I had this experience first hand and their harassment continued after I cancelled my membership and left the studio. Poor Quality Instruction / Injury Risk Finally, the quality of the instruction in low with teachers turning over really quickly and minimal training. Many teachers either are unable to or were not trained to describe the physiology of the movements, instead relying on branded names for each, and assuming you know it. When you look around the studio you always see many people looking confused and looking at each other for guidance. The risk of injury is high here.

Reasons why I love the workout: 1. Treadmills / running are incorporated! I love to run but I hate when I have to chose either weights or running. I love Shred because it keeps both! 2. Minimal thought/ experience required. You don't have to wait for equipment or think about what your next set is going to consist of because they tell you what to do the entire time! Also, if you don't know how to do something- it doesn't matter- because your instructor shows you each move before they expect you to do it. Reason why I love this location specifically: The Instructors & Staff are just the best! I truly feel like I have made some great friends here and that all of the people in this location genuinely care about you. It's so nice that I can pick my classes to go with my favorite instructors or I can take one with someone that's not in my regular "schedule" and I still get the same amazing workout and attention.
