The most cost-effective option is to sign up for a year-long membership but I like to switch up my workouts and the drop-in classes are pretty expensive. I got a discount since it was my first month, but the regular prices aren’t cheap.But it also meant that I spent a lot of time looking at other people (which can get a little awkward) and you don’t really know if the person next to you is doing things right either. I actually appreciated this, because I definitely needed help on my form, especially in those first few classes. They perform the moves about 1/3 of the time, and the rest of the time they’re moving around the room correcting form and offering pointers. I felt more confident after I’d taken 3 or 4 classes. The workouts might not feel easier, but it definitely made it easier to know what was coming next. Although it seemed like every class was different, it does follow a similar format.The studio, as I imagine most Pure Barre studios would be, was super clean and all the equipment was in great shape.They’re also great about sticking to the clock so you know you’ll get out on time! We don’t spend tons of time stretching (although all the moves stretch you out!) so you’re truly working out for every single minute. The classes are jam-packed into 55 minutes.They invited me to sit next to them so it was easier for me to follow along. In my first class, the teacher introduced herself and introduced me to two other teachers that were taking the class. All of the teachers were super friendly.So if you’ve been considering it, here are my thoughts. It was enough time for me to get a sense of what Pure Barre is all about and decide if it’s right for me. I ended up taking about 12 classes over the course of 5 weeks, so I wasn’t going every day, but I went pretty regularly. I think it would have been better if I had gone in knowing I didn’t know what I was doing. When I signed up for my first class, I felt like I sort of knew what to expect since I’d tried other barre classes before. After my first week, I decided to sign up for the 1-month special, since I felt like I needed time to evaluate if it was the right fit for me. One of the local Pure Barre studios was running a special for 1 week free and then the following month for $79. This past summer, I felt like I needed to switch up my workout and try something new.
