The studio has gone downhill in the last almost 2 years. Many instructors have left because of the situation. It's heartbreaking. Had a meeting with the owners several months ago and nothing has changed. Quality of classes have gone very downhill. Except for one instructor. There is a new instructor who is amazing. Clients are leaving the studio. Never got prizes for our fall fit challenge in 2025. It is heartbreaking. Nobody wants to work for the owners. Been going to another studio and the quality of instructors and the support I have gotten has been amazing. They really put their clients first!
We need to be more strong teachers and a consistent schedule.
The staff is amazing! The workouts are excellent and beneficial.
Convenient location, great instructors. Would like some variety and more weekend classes
Since this isn't posted publicly I'll just be honest. I came from PB Vinings and the Dunwoody location seems a little lacking. It just doesn't have the same energy. The instructors aren't as engaged, the lighting is way too bright the entire class, and the studio (other than the front waiting area seems a little neglected? This is the second request I've had for feedback so figured I would just be brutally honest! I'll continue to attend class as I love the work out and I live in Dunwoody now, but it would be nice if this studio maybe got a refresh :)
Feedback has been given previously
I love Pure barre and I love the classes and the teachers. I have friends at Pure barre. But I would like to see more consistency in the schedule and long-term teachers before I would recommend it to a friend. Maybe because it is Summer and hoping fall will bring more consistency. I really do love Pure barre!
I love this studio and have attended for almost 10 years. Right now it's lacking consistent scheduling, class variety, and strong teachers. Lots of turnover of staff and clients who have probably been there longer than I have which is never a good sign. Loosing this community is devastating. I'd love to recommend to others but at this time I'd hold off till things get better.
They need to stop removing classic classes. On that same note, I think there needs to be a more consistent schedule, and if the schedule could be updated more in advance, that would also be great. But I love the instructors and the workout and the environment! I would just love to see more consistency and more classic classes coming back.
I appreciate the music, the relationship/friendships built with the instructors, and the frequency of the classes in the early morning and late evening.
The caliber of teachers, variety of class formats, and consistent schedule are issues that should really be addressed. Morale across the studio is low, and many great teachers and classmates have departed for other studios.
Poor management at the studio. All the good teachers have left
Not enough quality, full-time teachers, especially now that Sarah is gone. Nikki, Christine, and Rachel are holding it down for the entire team and Christine isn't even full time at PBD + Rachel only does weekends. Not enough class time options. Those teachers and the members are the ones that are responsible for it feeling like any sense of community as ownership is never present and doesn't seem like they really care about the studio. The front desk girls are very sweet and do what they can to help and I'm happy Lexi is now helping out to contribute to admin support as well because again, owners don't seem to be super responsive. The IG feels like a constant ad and is more focused on promoting buying things/retail rather than our teachers, members, and community.
Manage memberships properly
Most important aspect of the workout is a high quality instructor. There are a few amazing instructors at pbd. The rest however are ok at best. Some are new and could improve with time (maybe?). There is no general manager so there are a lot of issues with the studio and very little communication or follow-up. They lag behind other studios in the area when it comes to fun, excitement, focus classes, challenges, and prizes.
I love Pure Barre workouts but I feel like our studio is going through a transition that has made the quality of the experience more uneven than usual - there are good days and bad! We have some awesome instructors and some mediocre ones. The sounds system was struggling (now it's fixed!), some of the equipment is getting worn - just to name a few issues. I feel like until the studio is back to a more consistent level, I would be more hesitant to recommend it to friends at the moment, especially beginners! I know management is working on these issues but this is why I said 7 rather than 10
I love the friendliness of the instructors. I love how they make you feel like you are the only person in the class and how they want everyone to get the most out of class time. I love the cleanliness of the studio. I absolutely adore the seasonal decorations - just an added layer of fun. It feels like a true sisterhood every time I walk in the door.
Jordan and Courtney need better training. Schedules are put out last minute. Studio isn't welcoming. No management besides ownership who doesn't seem interested in community or members.
Instructors are great and very helpful. The environment is nice, and everyone is friendly.
I like the classic class, it's hard but I can adapt and do what I can and feel getting stronger!
Everything. The instructors are wonderful, and bring great energy and knowledge about all aspects of the exercise. They are also very welcoming. All the formats are fantastic. It's a fun place to be.
Charging for extra focus classes at key times and not having weekend options early
More classic classes
Class consistency. Some weeks there are very few Define classes and some weeks there are few Classic classes. Seems like keeping teachers is an issue.
I wish the schedule remained more consistent month to month. There were many align and define options for evening classes in December but very few for January, which is discouraging.
