I sometimes feel like a couple of the class times are just a little too big. If I walk in 5 min before class I struggle to find a bar spot and that feels really intimidating. I wonder if you should consider capping the enrollment for each class at a little lower number?

Pure Barre is simply the best! After moving to Iowa from out of state & leaving a career of nearly 20 years, it was challenging to find my place and my people. I live in Ames and was searching for a gym to trial and stumbled across Pure Barre. I was hooked from the first class! The community is so welcoming and encouraging, the instructors and owner couldn't possibly be any sweeter, the classes are challenging and I feel better than I have in years. Thanks Pure Barre Ankeny for kicking my butt weekly! ILYSM!

Pure Barre is family! When you need a hug you can get one…or 15.

I love the variety of classes and the instructors are amazing. They are helpful and encouraging. Katie genuinely cares about all the members and goes above and beyond to spoil us.

I like the class format, the instructors, the new friendships I have made, the retail, the results from the classes and the confidence and joy I feel after every single class. Plus, the owner is incredible!!!!

I love my pure barre classes!!! It makes me feel strong, confident, it's something just for me! Women of all ages and everyone supports each other!!! Always challenging!!! 😊

Pure Barre Ankeny is my happy place, my home away from home! The relationships this place has brought me over the years are amazing! Forever grateful! In my forties I feel better than I did 10 years ago…my balance, flexibility and strength have improved so much! This place is top notch, some of the BEST people ever and amazing workouts for everyone!

Not only have I gained strength and flexibility through the various class offerings, but I also enjoy the community that PB Ankeny has given me.

The instructors are all very friendly. I appreciate that they correct posture and form to prevent injury and get the most out of the workout. There is no drama in this mostly-female space, which says a lot about Katie as an owner and leader! :) It's been great to meet and chat with new people as well!

It's inclusive for women, and welcoming and the instructors really know their stuff!

What do I like about Pure Barre? I LOVE everything about Pure Barre!!!!!! The instructors are fabulous!!! Classic, Define, Reform, Align, Empower all are challenging and well done. Love the studio vibes, the clothes, the people at the front desk are soooo nice!!!!

It allows me to exercise and have a good time with great friends!

Pure Barre Ankeny is wonderful and I would highly recommend it. Katie as well as the rest of the instructors are so welcoming and encouraging. Everyone is so positive and I actually look forward to going to class.

* The community of women supporting each other * The variety of workouts and available modifications

I like the isometric moves, the instructors, and the various times

Pure Barre is more than just an amazing workout. It is a community of warriors who choose to show up to better themselves. We know the importance of taking an hour to push ourselves to do something hard. To do something that celebrates all the things our amazing bodies can do. Pure Barre allows me the opportunity to become a stronger version of myself while becoming apart of an amazing community of people.

This community is one of the best things in my life! The energy this place gives me during and after a workout is absolutely amazing, it's contagious! I feel so dang good after each class!

My instructors are always friendly and willing to help with anything. I never detect bad attitudes or drama, which is pretty amazing for a mostly-female studio. Katie must be one fabulous, fearless leader! :)

Pure Barre is an excellent variety of exercise classes designed to tone, lengthen, & build lean muscle. Align classes focus on balance. PB is safe & fun for all ages! Katie, the owner, is all about building community. Her staff is well-trained, & all instructors are fabulous. The studio is clean & inviting. I highly recommend Pure Barre, and have been a member for 8 years. Susie Roberts

I love Pure Barre classes. They offer something for every age and ability level. The ladies ( and gentleman) are supportive and make going fun. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind.

The workouts are challenging and fun! The instructors pour their hearts, their expertise and their love into each workout! The community is top notch as everyone supports each other and cheers each other on! Katie is an incredible business owner, and her light and joyful smile is the best! Truly a wonderful place to workout and become the best version of yourself!

I love that the workouts are always different, so you don't get bored. And the instructors are so good about making sure your form is correct and pushing you to work outside of your comfort zone.

The sense of community and amazing instructors!

Focus on full body workouts which help improve balance and coordination while building and toning muscle

It is a family! Each and every class no matter what you feel you are doing your best! Everyone cheers on each other! Awesome atmosphere!!

Community. Modifiable to my needs.

I think I can overwhelming and daunting to go on a health and wellness journey but the staff at Pure Barre from the desk staff to the trainers have eased my fears and built my confidence again! Would highly recommend my body and mind are starting to rejuvenate back to a healthy place!

Its a great workout and a fantastic community.

I love the workout variety and community!

Katie and staff are just what you need to get your day off to a good start! Such a great community of woman! Workouts are exceptional… so glad I joined!!

The minute you walk in the door whether it's 6AM or 4:30 the energy is contagious! It's such a fun environment that just makes you feel good! This community comes with such good friendships, good people and killer workouts!

Pure Barre has truly been my home for the past six years, and I can't say enough about how special this place is. It's more than a workout — it's a community that lifts you up, challenges you, and celebrates you every single day. The instructors are the heart of it all. They're encouraging, supportive, and somehow always know exactly when to push you and when to cheer you on. I've never once walked in without feeling welcomed, seen, and motivated. The workouts themselves are magic. I've strengthened muscles I didn't even know I had, improved my posture, and it's given me a kind of mental clarity I didn't expect to find in a fitness class. Every class still challenges me in the best way — no two days ever feel the same. What I love most, though, is the energy in the room: supportive, empowering, and full of people who show up for themselves and each other. Pure Barre has been a constant in my life through busy seasons, stressful moments, and major milestones — and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Thank you, Pure Barre, for six years of confidence, strength, friendship, and connection. I'm so grateful for this community.

Katie as an owner of PB Ankeny is amazing. She surrounds herself with an excellent staff from the front desk to the studio. The instructors are talented, patient, kind & fun. The community of women is a wide-range of ages & backgrounds with the common thread kindness & encouragement. I have felt welcome from Day 1 & continue to feel that way 3 years later. I didn't realize when I started that not only would I love the classes, I would also meet so many wonderful women in one place.

Great instructors! Sense of community

Pure Barre is a quality fitness studio, run by a fantastic lady who is women-community driven. The class format is very purposeful, & instructors are great!

Classes are challenging and the community is supportive.
