Classes start and end on time and are reliable.
I love how welcoming the teachers, staff and other students are to each other. There's no shaming or looking down at you if you need to make modifications. Everyone body type, age and gender are represented and welcomed equally.
The teachers, the environment
Instructors enjoy their roles as instructors and as supporters of the class members. You can feel the intensity of the others taking their 'game' up a level from that support.
The community! Everyone is so welcoming and it feels like a home away from home.
I like the variety of classes at the same times each day.
The instructors are knowledgeable and approachable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The classes will kick your butt in the best way!
I love how friendly and welcoming everyone is!!! It really feels like a true community :)
The Lincoln Square staff is very friendly and encouraging. the only negative is that even though it was 6pm when I walked through the door the teacher already closed their door and they wouldn't let me in.
I love the focus on strength, the outstanding teachers, the welcoming atmosphere, and how the teachers emphasize form.
Great teachers
i like how instructors encourage and support participants.
I feel like Classic options have decreased immensely since when I began taking classes. The Classic form is what brings me back to barre, and when I cannot find classes in the evenings and on weekends consistently, it's really hard to want to stay.
Thanks to the consistently high level workout, welcoming community and quality instructors, Pure Barre has been the best fitness program for me in a long time. I feel strong and energized, and love the diversity of ages and abilities in the room. We are all in this together!
The atmosphere -- by that I mean the staff and the instructors and the folks who I work out with. And, oh yeah, the workouts!!
I love the variety and different focus of each class type, how the mind-body connection required quiets my thoughts and grounds me in the moment, and the beautiful community built at my local studio.
Approachable, friendly staff and instructors; community is prioritized; feels like a safe space
The instructors and staff at the studio are so friendly!
I love all the teachers, staff, and workouts at Pure Barre. There are only 2 things I I don't like: 1) the music is often too loud for my taste and detracts from being able to concentrate on the workout (except for Align, for which the music is a little calmer). And 2, I don't like the use of scented air fresheners as I think some of the have some toxic products in them. Otherwise, I love my 2 studios!
Wonderful community!
Great staff â friendly and welcoming. Great energy in the studio. The instructors lead tough classes with a smile and help individuals of all levels have a great work out.
Exercises should alternate sides more. The endless repetition of the exercises on one side is too much & leads to unproductive fatigue and injuries. The plug ins in the bathroom are toxic & you could smell them while exercising. Very uncomfortable knowing that I am taking really deep breaths and breathing that in. They may have stopped for now because the weather is better, but there's an employee who mopped the entrance floor during class as well and the smell is too much while you're exercising.
Reinstate evening classes that have gone away.
Great classes, high energy and happy environment!
First and foremost, I love the inclusive Community at PBLS. As much as I like the classes, I don't think I would've stuck it out without the sense of community the studio has created. I love how the classes remain challenging even as I grow stronger. I also appreciate the variety - within the choreography of a given class and with the different class types.
