I've been going to Pure Barre for a year now and I truly enjoy it. The workouts are challenging and…read morethe teachers are all very friendly and great about ensuring everyone has good form. My time at Pure Barre is never wasted. I was hesitant about the cost because I've never been the sort of person to pay a lot to exercise. However, the pricing is comparable to other fitness classes and they offer memberships and class packs to bring the cost down. I have the membership and I love the flexibility it offers. It also encourages me to attend regularly to get my money's worth.

Love this workout! I've been an exercise junky my whole life. Never have I done workouts that were…read moreso total body! I've never been a fan of working my core and quite frankly didn't have much muscular strength in my stomach when I started going- I've done about 35 classes now so I'm still a newbie- but I can tell a huge difference in my core from now and when I first started attending classes. My husband says I'm in a much better mood when I'm going so he says it's hands done worth the money. Also, the staff is super friendly and welcoming which always helps when you are trying something new and are nervous!

I'm updating my previous rating from 2 to 3 stars…read more I was really impressed that the owner, Ryan, contacted me via email/yelp to amend the situation I addressed in my previous review. He offered a month of training gratis, and I took him up on the offer. As for the experience, Force seems to be a great place to get a quick workout in. The staff are friendly, and knowledgeable. The actual 'work' done in a session ranges from 15-40 minutes. Warm up includes a bit of foam rolling, and some dynamic stretching exercises. The actual workout involves circuit-type functional training. I like that they incorporate explosive plyometric movements for people who are more fit, and yet find modifications for people who are just getting into fitness. Advantages: 1) No need to think. These people do the programming, you only need to show up 2) Matt (the trainer I had) was great about checking form and providing modifications to the suggested exercises. 3) I like the community. It is nice to see familiar faces at each workout... definitely helps in keeping me motivated. 4) Facility is clean, nice shower/changing rooms. 5) I like the fact that you choose particular days and times for classes in advance; it really helps keep you on track and accountable. Disadvantages: 1) I personally found the workouts to be too boring and easy (I don't think I ever woke up with a sore muscle after a workout). I come from a personal training background, and I'm used to spending more time at the gym. This program is likely ideal for a person of average fitness. Often after a workout at Force I head to the campus gym to get more cardio training and lifting in. 2) I find the location of this place to be less-than-ideal. This is just me. 3) Certain days of the week (namely days that involve isometric type exercises) are incredibly boring. (My friends have had similar complaints) 4) Pricing: this place is a bit expensive. Suggestions: 1) Perhaps have certain boot camp sessions cater to beginner or advanced levels of fitness. As it stands, there are too many people in a class with too many different issues to target. It is kind of a mess. 2) If you are already an athlete or experienced in training, I suggest you forgo the boot camp sessions, and try out personal training (this may be more rigorous and tailored) Summary: After this bootcamp, I will not be returning to Force (I may not even finish the boot camp that was offered). It is located on the outskirt of town, far from where I work/live, and the workouts aren't really working out for me. I know a lot of other people who love this place (secretaries, neighbors, friends, etc.) but it just isn't my thing.

This place is so incredibly special, I can't put it into words. Simply stated: whoever you are,…read morewhatever your goals, whatever your experience, Force is THE gym in Bloomington. The coaching is literally world-class, and you WILL get the results you're searching for (ask yourself, are you reaching them with what you're doing now?)! Personally, I lost 90lbs and gained a fabulous family/community along with an amazing education in fitness, nutrition and myself. This gym and it's various programs really are for all levels. The bootcamp is great and there is no one to blame if you don't get a great workout in but yourself. People in a more advanced athletic state are expected to do more advanced movements with heavier weights at faster speeds.

State of the art gym (and clean!) with the best group of coaches, trainers and administrators in the business. I could go on and on. I've been doing this fitness/weight loss thing a long, long time and this gym is the height of what you can get. I've had to move out of state, and there's nothing I mourn more than the loss of Force. Give it a chance.

Coach Jamie is by far one of the most inspiring people I have met. She always kept me going in classes when I felt like giving up. The owner Will is amazing as well. Super kind and knowledgeable on everything OT. Their employees are all really kind and understanding and I believe that's what matters the most. Although I had scheduling conflicts and all of that I still enjoyed my time here when I was able to go. Extremely supportive people and everyone is just a big family. Hope to rejoin the family in the future.

The restrooms are single occupancy for privacy. There are 2 single occupancy shower rooms available. The equipment is reasonably up to date and if it's not fully functional they fix it in a reasonable amount of time. Every member gets 2 free sessions with a personal trainer. I only took advantage of one because as it turns out I don't enjoy talking while I work out and am quite self motivated, but I appreciated the trainer's friendliness and constructive attitude towards making a workout plan. I do only have a few criticisms and that's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. There are a couple of things that could be improved. I go early in the morning and I find that they're usually either almost out or completely out of little towels you can use to wipe sweat. The restrooms are not always very clean in the morning. At least a couple of times per week they're out of equipment wipes and paper towels in the early a.m. For a small, nominal fee, I'd be ecstatic if they were to provide bigger towels for those who use the showers and don't want to lug a big towel with them that they have to take to their office (or class for the students) and discretely hang-dry (or let fester in their bag all day). Since I commute to work via bus I don't have a lot of options but don't want to be a jerk and use 4 tiny towels to dry off, especially as they're often out anyway. Making sure there are enough supplies like equipment wipes and small towels to last until the morning, and maybe having someone pop in during the evening to quickly touch up the restrooms might be nice too. It being a college town I know they probably have a surge of people in the evenings who prefer to work out at night, which is why they are out of supplies in the morning. Those are my only gripes - everything else is on-point and I don't expect any place to be absolutely perfect.
