Beautiful studio & fantastic classes! All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. All the classes I was in were with Jade and she is amazing! Beautiful person inside & out, and definitely knows how to run a class keeping a steady pace while giving everyone in the room the attention they need. Pure Barre is a great workout and if you are looking to get into it this the location to do it at.

So far, I have had a great experience at Pure Barre! The instructors are all really awesome and helpful, coming over to you to adjust your positioning so that you are getting the best workout you can get! I was slacking on keeping up with exercising and I bought a 10-class pack, so Ive been motivated to go to these classes and always feel great about myself after leaving. An awesome workout and a very inviting place! Definitely would recommend.

All of the instructors at this studio are encouraging and super, super kind. I always feel motivated to push myself harder during class and to do better the next time I come in. As much as barre has made my body stronger, it has also helped me to be mentally tougher and more disciplined.I was hesitant to go for the month of unlimited classes because I didnt think I would take enough classes to make it worth it, but I keep coming back for more. I like the vibe of this studio, and the exercises we do are always interesting and challenging. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone who has done Barre before or anyone who is looking to try something new.

Update: Door was locked when I was 2 min late. I love that they prepare dry shampoo and deodorant in the bathroom, but the water bottle filter went unchanged for a very long time.Original:5 star exercises. In addition to the exercise method, the instructors in this studio are positive, give detailed instructions and corrections but arent intrusive. I really like it.

Great teachers. I especially love Jade, Erica, and Anna. Annas positive spirit comes through in every aspect of her business -- in the decor, the signage, and in the inclusive and body-honoring workout. If done right, its an extremely challenging, results-oriented, yet safe workout. Like the words at the end... Give yourselves and your neighbors a round of applause for completing this workout. Parking can be a challenge so allow time and download ePark so you can enter your meter spot on the go!

I’m new to Pure Barre and I love it! Usually I do a lot more weight focused exercises, so I like the different style of workout that this place offers. The studio is clean, and the instructors are helpful and informative. The actual workout is challenging and fast paced, but fine for beginners or for people who might have a hard time keeping up in other types of workouts! Highly recommend!

This place is my first introduction to Pure Barre, and I am addicted! The workouts are not intensely aerobic, and the exercise is very low-impact, which I love. We do a lot of work on toning and flexibility, which is exactly what I am looking for. My posture and balance has already improved after 1 month! I just wish they had specials and discounts more often, because Im not sure how long I can afford to attend these classes at full price

I love Pure Barre! The workouts are great; low impact, high intensity, and lots of shake. Every instructor brings something different to the barre. I have really enjoyed Jade, Anna, and Leias classes and am looking forward to trying more. The changes I have seen in my body in such a short time will keep me coming back for more.

Pure Barre is a delightfully challenging work out for any fitness level, but prepare yourself for a new kind of hurt so good that youve likely not experienced before. After just 1-week of class, I felt that I was sitting/standing up straighter and more toned. The downtown studio is beautiful but most of all, Im so impressed with how the instructors learn your name and provide individual attention during the workout!

If you havent tried it yet, Pure Barre classes are worth your consideration! Every instructor that I have had at the downtown Ann Arbor location has been incredibly welcoming. They quickly learn your name and adjust your position during class to help you get the most out of each exercise. The studio always has great promotions going on which make taking barre classes as a student totally affordable. My favorite 50 minutes of the day!

Pure Barre has truly changed my life. After struggling with an eating disorder for much of my adolescence, I needed a form of exercise that encouraged women to be strong instead of just skinny. I started attending classes spring of 2017 and I have gotten so much healthier not only physically, but also mentally; Pure barre was extremely influential in my road to recovery. I’m so incredibly thankful for the community of strong women pure barre has provided me with and I truly can’t imagine my life without it.

I love working out at the Pure Barre on Liberty! All of the staff are so friendly and helpful and I feel very welcomed there. They have lots of deals that make taking Pure Barre classes very affordable, and its a really great workout. I would definitely recommend this studio to all of my friends!

My favorite place to work out at! When Im at the studio I feel at home :) Convenient location, amazing, personable, dedicated trainers, and a beautiful studio. Pure Barre has completely changed the way I view working out and as a result I have never felt better about my figure. Highly recommend trying out a class here if you are looking to tone your body and feel great after with a great friendly community!

Pure barre is an amazing workout and the downtown Ann Arbor location Is a great place to be! I have been to several pure barres across the US and my favorite location is by far Ann Arbor. The teachers are so amazing and friendly and they really take the time to get to know you and your body. I would highly recommend.If you are unfamiliar with the pure barre workout- it is an hour long closes where you lift, tone and burn. The class features different sets of movements that work your arms, core, legs, and butt. The first time I ever did barre, I could barely walk the next day because I was so sore! But now that I have gone more frequently, Ive become more used to the routine. However, the best part is that it is different every time so it is always challenging and always fun. When I am going consistently, I feel a noticeable difference in my body and I truly feel great!

Pure Barre is the best workout studio on campus. I get such a good full body workout and constantly feel challenged each time. I love the community that they foster in the Downtown Ann Arbor location. The teachers know how to readjust peoples bodies to improve each individual and give the needed care and attention. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a workout class to make you feel toned, strong and confident.

Review №17

This is a great workout and is perfect for me to go to on my lunch hour. The instructors all have very good energy and are good about adjusting you. Only two reasons for 4 stars is I wish they offered more classes--they get so crowded during the school year!--and it does get pricey. I have to pick and choose when Im able to go even though Id love to do it multiple lunch hours every single week.

Review №18

Love this workout! I’ve been coming for a couple months now and have really loved the change I am seeing in my body. I’ve always been a fairly fit person but this has really toned and developed the muscles and I and so excited to keep working hard for the strength and results.

Review №19

Pure Barre in downtown Ann Arbor is fantastic! Everyone is very friendly, and of course the workout is a burner. Anyone can jump on in, beginners may take a little while to get used to the flow of class, but within 4-5 sessions you’ll be ready to really get into the exercises. They also do good deals, so definitely ask about what packages are being run at any given time.

Pure Barre is the kind of workout that leaves you feeling strong and balanced. It is one of the few workouts where you can get the intensity of a full-body workout with the relaxation of a yoga class. Usually I dread working out but I find myself excited and looking forward to my next barre class. The studio is beautiful and filled with welcoming, kind, and encouraging women.

Ive had an amazing time at Pure Barre so far-- Im becoming stronger very quickly and loving every minute. The instructors are very welcoming and help you along the way. I also love the different kinds of exercises we do, all split up by stretching breaks. Such a great workout and very addicting!

Review №23

Happy New Year to a newer body. The last few classes I have taken at Pure Barre Downtown have made me feel strong and fit in places I didnt know I could be. I like that core work has been incorporated throughout the class. Empower is a beast, but one that you anyone can battle with for 45 minutes! Great job ladies!

Review №24

Love Pure Barre! I’m a runner and not big into strength training, but helpful instructors and upbeat, dynamic workouts make me feel right at home and help me build strength and endurance. The instructors make sincere attempts to build relationships, learn your name, and take the time to guide new members. The classes are a bit pricey for me to go all the time, but the 20-class package discount option I got through Groupon allows me to go when I want and doesn’t expire for 90 days. Their workout swag is super cute, too! I’ll definitely recommend and return!

Review №25

More than any other fitness class Ive taken before, I see the results from Pure Barre. Its a great full-body workout. However, some times the instructors move a little too fast or are difficult to understand, so I miss out on some of the exercises. In addition, I lucked out and bought classes under the Summer Sculpt packages. Without these packages, the classes are way too expensive! Im hoping more reasonably priced packages will be offered in the future so I can continue to do Pure Barre.

Pure Barre is the perfect workout and each of the classes that I have been to at the location in Downtown Ann Arbor have been amazing! The studio is very nice and the instructors are great! As a student, I am glad that it is located in walking distance from my classes, making it easy to go at any point in the day.

I’ve never seen changes in my body manifest so quickly! This is the best workout I’ve found to build core strength and gain definition in my arms and legs. The instructors are amazing and keep you motivated — I leave every class feeling great!

Review №28

I was skeptical of Pure Barre but I went because my best friend convinced me to try it out with her. Needless to say, Im now a huge fan! I am very active but Pure Barre takes it to a whole new level. Its a great complement to my workout routine and the classes go by so quickly since the instructors constantly switch things up. I have only been taking classes for a week and Im already noticing a huge difference. I would recommend the Liberty studio to everyone! Great instructors and location.

Absolutely love Pure Barre. This location is located conveniently across from the parking structure (free on the weekend). I usually go on the weekends and its nice to walk around that part off Ann Arbor and get coffee after an energizing class.

Review №32

Pure Barre is hands down the best workout Ive ever done. I am always challenged and feel stronger every time I leave class. As a 3 mo post partum mom, I was worried that I would feel behind and intimidated in the class, but the instructors are incredibly friendly and supportive and have helped me make modifications so that I am able to do the class at my own pace. They always encourage mental strength in addition to physical strength and I have found that its not only amazing for my body but my mind as well.

Pure barre is a great workout, and I love the downtown location! Terrific studio and instructors. The new empower option is also a great addition if you want a little more cardio. The classes fill up quickly though so plan ahead!

Review №36

This is a great studio! The classes are sufficiently difficult, and the routines are changed so often you never know what’s coming (great for toning muscles..plus you can trick yourself into thinking it won’t be as hard...) 5 stars.

Review №38

Ive felt so much stronger and more centered and balanced since I started working out at Pure Barre. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful with answering questions and providing tips and feedback on my form and how to improve, since Im new to barre classes (and group exercise in general). It feels like a judgement free zone here for sure. After about 6 classes or so, I really feel like Im starting to make progress and certain moves are getting easier - although none of it is truly easy!

Review №39

After having two ACL surgeries and one ankle surgery in the past three years, Pure Barre has proven to be the best workout for me. I love the low-impact component, but also how challenging the class is. I havent pushed myself this hard in years! After just five classes, Im already seeing results.

Review №44

A pet peeve of mine has always been when people pretend to like working out. At least of my friends, we always joke about just wanting to get our workouts over with. Pure Barre has completely changed the way I see working out. It clears my mind and is hands down the best hour of my day. It made me stop working out purely for the results, and instead actually got me excited about being the strongest I can be.

This is THE BEST low impact workout ever! The movements are small but very intense. You dont have to have a ballet or pilates background to do this workout and I love the instructors!

I was delighted to discover this studio! I have visited several other Pure Barre studios (not in the Ann Arbor area), so I was familiar with the structure of class and technique already. I really appreciate the knowledge and energy of the instructors at this studio, and their corrections have helped me improve. I wish the studio would make their playlists available on spotify because the music is super fun!

An
Review №68

I have done a number of different types of exercise- going to the gym and doing cardio/weights, boxing, kickboxing, various sports, and pure barre is different in that they really work on endurance muscle where you hold a fairly easy position for long time which becomes extrmemely challenging. It’s great to work your muscles in a new way. It also seems to be easy on joints so if you’re like me and tend to be injury prone it’s good. I can also imagine it would be good while pregnant when you wouldn’t want to be bouncing all over the place but want to get a good work out.
