Absolutely fantastic barre classes! The workouts are challenging in the best possible way, effective, and incredibly well designed. The instructors are absolutely amazing; they are incredibly supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and create such a positive, welcoming atmosphere that makes you genuinely look forward to coming back. I always leave feeling stronger, energized, and accomplished. I've been taking classes for less than two months, and I can already see my body transforming and becoming more toned. I feel stronger, more energized, and more confident with every class. I love the focus on small, controlled movements because you really feel every muscle working! I'm amazed by the results I'm seeing in such a short amount of time and can't wait to see my continued progress. My body and my mind are happier with every class I take. This is my new lifestyle and I am extremely happy with it. What I love most is that I genuinely look forward to going. If you're looking for a workout that combines strength, control, and a serious burn in the best possible way, I highly recommend it! I truly cannot recommend these classes enough!
The exercise and the community! The instructors care about our work outs, but they also care about our lives. I've met good friends there!
The rigor, choreography
Evening class availability has shrunk to two classes leading to overcrowded classes. Bar tenders do not enforce any rules including, 1) customers wearing shoes or barefoot on the carpets, 2) customers talking on cell phones within the studio, 3) customers not cleaning their equipment, 4) no space etiquette explained. Teacher turnover is alarmingly high, and the new teachers that come in are under trained and then not evaluated promptly. This leaves long time customers actively avoiding teachers that have poor form, make no corrections, and are unable to stay on beat. Studio is often very very dirty. Floors are not vacuumed daily. Carpets need to be shampooed. The sound system often has issues and cuts in and out. Lights flitter and blink making floor exercises tough without covering your eyes. With low overhead, expectations would be that AC and sound systems work consistently and that the studio space is clean.
Great instructors and the different types of Barre classes offered.
I really enjoy the variety of classes....and the fact that they are only 50-minutes! All of the instructors and employees are friendly and helpful.
I love Pure Barre and already recommended it to friends and family!
I like the teachers and the environment. The classes I like to take are great.....classes, align & define. The schedule has changed and I wish the 11am classes would come back but that is the only thing that I would change.
I see consistent improvements to my strength, flexibility and overall wellness from taking Pure Barre classes. I enjoy taking the different formats and that each class is different so I don't get complacent. My favorite part about PBAMP is definitely the teachers though! Every teacher is super friendly and genuinely wants to help you have a great class experience.
The workout is consistent, yet each workout is different. The instructors are well-trained and approachable, and help modify so that the workout truly belongs to each person.
Cleanliness of the studio needs to be improved, along with the offering of class instructors with consistency. We have so many new instructors and honestly the classes are SO full. Can you offer additional classes to alleviate the classes being so full?
Fun and challenging workouts with a supportive group. Instructors are great!
Many of the instructors no longer provide corrections and it's not as good if I am not doing a move correctly. Class formats are less varied, mostly Classic now being offered and fewer class times to choose from. Challenges are for personal goals only now, harder to stay motivated.
This summer was frustrating because there were so few classes. Now class times have changed and I will be unable to attend morning classes. I will probably cancel my membership and I have been a client for 7 years. Very disappointed!
I'm finding the quality of teachers to not be at the same level as it has been in the past. A number of key, quality teachers have left or are teaching more infrequently. No one seems to want to teach at 5:30am. Due to the quality of teachers, last week we had 3 classic classes taught by the same new instructor because she's not teaching other formats yet. The new teachers don't seem to adjust customers anymore which is key especially for newer members.
Provides great challenging workouts in a clean and friendly environment. I love that it is 99% female studio since the workouts were developed for women.
I love the community and the teachers.
Incredible workout, many great choices of classes, friendships made along the way, fantastic, supportive teachers. Best of all worlds. Come join!
I've been a member for four years, and I really feel that the quality of the interpersonal relationships has improved significantly recently. The studio feels more welcoming and friendly, and I'm starting to feel some of the positive energy and sense of community that I remember from when I first joined. Areas for improvement Studio cleanliness: The Allen studio needs more attention to cleanliness, particularly in the reception area, the workout room, and the bathroom. This is one area where I think there is a noticeable opportunity for improvement. Class schedule: I'm concerned about the reduction in the class schedule. Having enough class options is important, especially for long-term members who have built Pure Barre into their routine. I believe reducing the schedule may cause some members to consider moving to other studios simply because it becomes harder to find classes that fit their schedules. Weekend class capacity: Weekend classes in Allen are often very full. At times, there isn't enough space for everyone to comfortably have access to a barre or enough room to set up a mat. I understand that popular classes will naturally be busy, but the experience is less enjoyable when there isn't adequate space to move safely and comfortably. Instructor turnover: We have had many instructors leave for different reasons, and despite the efforts to maintain the schedule and experience, we are still losing a lot of people. For long-term members, the relationships we build with instructors are an important part of the Pure Barre experience. I would love to see more focus on instructor retention and consistency. Things I really appreciate Friendlier staff: The staff feels much more welcoming and friendly lately, and I really appreciate that change. Equipment: The balls are finally becoming balls again instead of looking square! ð Thank you, Bailey! It may seem like a small thing, but it really does make a difference. Events and member engagement: I love seeing more events, challenges, prizes, and snacks happening at the studio. These activities create more opportunities for members to connect and make the studio feel more like a community. Grip socks: I also appreciate the increased variety of grip socks. It's nice to have more options. Overall, I'm happy to see the positive changes happening at Allen. After four years as a member, I care about this studio and would really like to see it continue to grow while maintaining the sense of community and personal connection that made me want to stay in the first place. I hope the feedback from long-term members can be considered when making decisions about staffing, class schedules, cleanliness, and the overall member experience.
I am still relatively new but so far I have enjoyed each class I have attended. The instructors are helpful and very informative with their instructions. I look forward to many more classes going forward in my Pure Barre journey. Thank you! Debbie Serpas
Great workout and instructors!
I love going to Purebarre, it's an escape for me to stop working so I can take time for myself!! Love seeing friends and the instructors.
Improvements- Waitlisted classes on weekends. Barre and equipment are showing wear. Barre not always cleaned every day. Class formats should be different on a daily basis - maybe have 5 different class formats at each hour during the week --- ie not 3/5 Classic classes at the same hour during the week What is great about pure barre - 5-6 class format choices. Friendly and happy teachers. Feels like a community.
The instructors are phenomenal and the workouts are great
