Maybe workshop training for some of the teachers who's classes are a bit less challenging or partner them with a veteran teacher, as a mentor to work with them on exercise setups and class pace. Some if the equipment is getting dated. The mats frequently smell bad and the reform tubs (while they are now matched) they are a good bit stretched out. Maybe the addressing tardiness - importance of getting into the actual class before it starts. One specific client (Margaret) habitually coming into the studio late everyday, then dilly-dallies before entering class,.. it is a distraction to the clients and teacher (everyday). Class is usually well into warm up on the floor when she is trying to carry an arm full of weights over other clients, so beyond distracting it is a safety issue. I personally experienced the weight walkover three times in last few weeks. It has been an ongoing discussion/complaint with a lot of members.
I enjoy the class formats and the teachers
I would love more afternoon classes!
I like PB because of the variety of classes they offer. You get to work your whole body in all of the classes that they offer. I am a runner and a tennis player and since I have taken PB, I find that my thighs have gotten stronger when I need to squat down for a tennis ball. My upper arms have gotten stronger in the define class with working with weights. PB offers morning, noon, and evening classes so you get a chance to work out when you have the time. If you haven't tried PB, come out and check it out!!
Instructors very engaged-friendly & attentive to assist with corrections as clients execute exercises. Consistency with expectations for clean studio & classes commencing on time.
The staff. The energy!
Love the staff! Super drains helpful. They make sure you get the best of your workout!

I love my local Pure Barre, but there are easy ways to improve, and difficult ways to improve. It's easy to change up the music a bit. We seem to hear the same playlists rather frequently and it would be nice to have an occasional "retro" playlist, which I know are out there from attending other studios. Keeping and using exciting and fun teachers is really important, and I think our studio is trying really hard to do this. I appreciate all that our teachers and owner are doing to help make our PB studio the best.
Class variety, times offered, instructors are great and a real sense of community.
It's a consistently great workout and I love the instructors!
The community and instructors are so encouraging and welcoming in addition to it being a great workout and having many different formats. It's so much more than a simple "barre class".
The instructors are so kind and helpful. They make adjustments when needed and help make sure you are working all the right muscles and push you to finish strong!
My studio on Magazine Street is wonderful! The teachers really care about my progress and make each class interesting. I like that class is never the same twice and that the playlists keep it interesting.
I love the instructors and I love the community that has formed there.
Pure Barre is a workout with great instructors, and a class for everyone! I look forward to my options in classes at a variety of times each week, as well as visiting with my instructions and classmates. 10/10 every time!
Focused full body workout
It's a great total body workout! It has reshaped my body for the better. It has made me stronger for my everyday tasks, like lifting groceries, squatting for things in the cabinet, or leaning over sideways from bed to pick something up that fell in the floor. I really notice the difference in my life!
The energy and community that is present when walking through the doors
Enjoy the classes and environment. Cindy F is my favorite but also enjoy Britt!
It's hard to work out while working full time with littles at home. I'd love to see shorter classes during the week or after work. Also for those of us who can only go at lunch, it would be nice for a little more variety at the 11am class. I love how Brooke alternates that Monday class between Reform and Definre. Not sure if that would be possible for other teachers.
Routines are for all ages and levels. Instructors are extremely helpful to ensure proper form and encouraging.
Pure Barre is low impact and doesn't use a lot of equipment. It's not intimidating as a person who hasn't gone to the gym or played organized sports and is trying to get into working out. I feel stronger and more confident. Pure Barre New Orleans is really communicative and helpful, and was flexible with my classes when I was injured, and host fun events and ways to get involved. The teachers and front desk employees remember who I am.
I love a class when the movement and music work well together. I like a low impact full body workout that makes me push myself each class
Positive vibs in clean studio Wonderful staff Exercises Effective Good Communications
Pure Barre is the single best class in the city! It's great to core, resistance, building up key muscles and balance and looking and feeling good.
I've been going to Pure Barre regularly for 15 years. I love that I feel great after class, both physically and mentally. Our studio has a positive fun community. Pure Barre improves my strength and balance. The fact that my clothes fit better when I attend regularly is a bonus. I'm 67 and I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life because of Pure Barre. Love it!
I love the different class formats, and the instructors are always so welcoming & helpful!
Class formats and ataff
Excellent workouts that help with strength, balance, and flexibility. They're always different, wonderful and encouraging instructors and supportive atmosphere, and lots of options for classes making it easy to fit into your schedule.
Convenient and the lean tone it gives you
I love how there is a community!
I don't like being touched or spoken to by the teacher. I want to show up and try my best, not be told how I am doing it wrong in front of a large group. It is embarrassing. I also feel targeted because I am being corrected yet I see other women doing the same or worse, and nothing is said to them. And I can't state enough how I do not want to be touched. Also, if the class is 50 minutes, it needs to be 50 minutes. Not 55, or 53, or 51. 50. Finally, music makes all the difference. I like Cindy's classes mostly because I can sing along to the music and it makes the experience much more enjoyable. Other classes have very pounding, overstimulation "songs" that are more like loud beats being played over and over.
Focus throughout ckass
Pure Barre keeps me strong and helps my core and balance stay developed. I like the muscle I have gained with the define classes also
Love the classes and the instructors. Love the sign up format which holds me accountable!! I look forward to the workouts !!
Dynamic studio with challenging workouts led by enthusiastic staff
Full body workout & results, community and positive energy!
I love the different class formats. Every class is challenging in a different way. The instructors are phenomenal, taking the time to correct form and giving precise cues as well. The camaraderie is great. W all have our favorite spots in class! It's just a wonderful community.
The coaches motivate everyone, the classes push you, and the community is just that⦠a community! Love everything about PB!
The results, the challenge the community
I love everything about Pure Barre. From the atmosphere, the instructors, the classes, etc. it's so much fun! Makes working out fun.
I love the community!! The instructors remember what I told them the last class and ask follow up questions. They are flexible and accommodating to different abilities.
The convenience and the class setting
Keep working to engage more high energy, teachers who are excited about the classes.
I love everything about Pure Barre! The customer service is great and the atmosphere is very friendly. The classes are just what I need to strengthen and tone my body.
The only problem my friends and I have at Pure Barre is there is one teacher, Danna, that puts the music up so loud it hurts everyone's ears. I have spoken to her several times and she states she doesn't think it is that loud. Truly I believe she has experienced a hearing loss and now the rest of us are at risk of losing our hearing too due to the high volume. The business upstairs only complains about the noise when she is teaching. Is there anyway this problem can be solved? Several times the times she is teaching is more convenient for me but I have to go to another class because of the persistent high volume that she continues to use. I am not the only person at Pure Barre that feels this way but I am the only one who is willing to speak up about this continued problem that needs to be addressed. The studio I attend is the Metairie location. Thanks for your help addressing this problem. Sincerely, Martha W. Guarisco
It's a great workout in a supportive community. I love how even though the exercises are similar, they're different, so you don't feel like each class is exactly the same, keeping things interesting and challenging. I also love the option of different formats depending on what type of workout you need.
I love the variety of classes offered and class times. The instructors are always helpful and encouraging, and I love getting to visit with the friends I've made at Pure Barre before & after class!
The aspect of pure barre that I most appreciate is the effectiveness of the instructors in particular - Jackie because of how she pushes you and her class is always extra challenging which I love- I want to be cursing the entire time and she makes me curse in the best way possible Blake because of her level of instruction- she manages to talk you through every move every second of the class which I love because it helps me do the movement correctly- I want to do it right so that I can be as sexy as possible Danna because the energy level she brings to the class is next level- it keeps me pumped when she gets loud! Pure barre needs to know how great these instructors are and likely should give them a raise- no joke - the 3 ladies I mentioned are fantastic
