The classes are great and well developed especially if you want to built strength of your muscles. The people that own and some instructors specifically Jess. She is rude pushy and disrespectful. I wanted to move to Clarendon pure barre because Alexandria classes were all the time full plus the attitude of certain ppl there was too much. I was willing to cancel the membership from that reason spoke with manager and still was charged the fee plus of course Jess is responding to further massages. She called me multiple times even though I was in contact with someone else she was still trying to be controlling including her voice mail (“ I’m calling again...”) well I work in hospital and I have busy schedule so I didn’t feel like speaking with her at 1pm since I already set up phone call with someone else. I’m still trying to straight stuff up with them. But if you want to have good time and enjoy the class just don’t take Jess as instructor.
I took a foundation class and it was actually pretty challenging in a good way! I definitely recommend Jess, she made sure I knew what I was doing even when I wasn’t but definitely didn’t make the work out easy. One of the best things about it was probably the fact that I didn’t feel left behind in terms of the exercise I was preformingA!
Amazing workouts! Great instructors! Highly recommend to anyone! I get a better workout and burn more muscle in 50 minutes here than I would in a five mile run. And if you do run, your core and posture is improved with pure barre, so it’s been a great cross trainer workout too.
Barre itself is an excellent workout - I’m in pretty good shape, and this challenges me every time. I would definitely recommend barre as an addition to your workout routine, or if you don’t currently have a fitness routine.Now about Pure Barre, Alexandria - Love the layout of the studio...parking is never an issue. So far I’ve only taken classes with Alyson, she’s an amazing trainer, very thorough.
Alexandria Pure Barre is great! I was nervous about taking my first class, but the staff are all super friendly and welcoming. The classes are never overcrowded, and the instructors are always helping individually with form and making sure were making the most of our work out. And when theyre not helping us individually, theyre encouraging the entire class and helping us stay motivated. Theyre also super intentional and use names to cheer us on. I always feel great after completing a Pure Barre class!
I love barre! It’s an amazing workout that works places you didn’t know was there! The Alexandria studio is very friendly and clean. I love taking Kelly’s class, but all the teachers are great! Highly recommend!
Very inviting atmosphere. I don’t have experience with barre, but the instructors go out of their way to fix my form. I really appreciate that they take their time to ensure I’m doing the moves properly. The students in the class are also super nice and easy to talk to. Everyone is very chill but also serious when they are getting their workout on :)
I have done 15 classes and I am loving it! Always looking forward to my next class! It really works all your inner muscles. I got two friends joining me already and they love it as well. All the teachers are friendly and know exactly what they are doing! 🤗
I have absolutely loved every second of my pure barre experience. I was hesitant to try pure barre, but everyone was so inviting. The workouts are tough but satisfying and I can already feel myself getting stronger. The teachers are also great! They really take the time to help perfect your moves and stretches, and get to know you personally. This is a workout I look forward to going to every class. Highly suggested !!
Im new at Pure Barre but Im already in love with the workout! The movements are challenging but easy to follow along with. The instructors are all amazing and have their own variations of the class which I enjoy. I 100% would and have recommended Pure Barre Alexandria to my friends and plan to continue attending.
I am pro ballroom dancer and a new mom... and let me tell you! It’s great work out! I love it! Very clean and staff is very nice and helpful! Two of my girlfriends are hooked as well! We enjoying it together!!
I have been going for over a week almost everyday...hard workout but it’s an excellent full body workout. Staff has been great! Shout out to instructor Jennifer... awesome!
This Pure Barre studio in Alexandria is a wonderful place to get your “barre” on! All classes I’ve taken here have pushed me to my maximum potential. I’ve always felt great after each class and have seen results physically and mentally. The instructors (Baristas) are very encouraging, provide tips and help throughout the class, and are very sweet and friendly! I always feel welcomed and motivated to come back again.
I started going here as the location is so convenient for me, but I had no idea what to expect other than I wanted something to crosstrain with my running. Something that would work my core (since I hate working core and need someone to force me to do it). Well this was definitely the right answer! I love it here, and having just finished the beginner 2 weeks just signed up for the beginner month. I love all the teachers and attendees -- everyone is so happy and positive!
An amazing studio with a great group of instructors! After only 5 classes, Ive seen significant results and cant wait to go back. They also fun challenges and new member specials that make signing easy and inexpensive!
Pretty low-key studio, which is what I was hoping for. Was worried it might be very cliquey. I’ve had a different teacher each time I’ve gone and all have been good. The Empower class has been my favorite so far. Parking is easy on weekends and early mornings.
Im really enjoying every class I take at Pure Barre Alexandria! As someone who never had experience doing a barre workout, all of the teachers have been so helpful in guiding me on proper form & technique. Every one at Pure Barre Alexandria has been so welcoming and I look forward to continuing my membership at this location.
I just started going to Pure Barre and I am HOOKED! If you are someone who needs accountability when it comes to working out-- look no further! The Alexandria studio has amazing instructors and great energy, everyone is so welcoming and takes the time to really get to know you.
Pure Barre Alexandria is not just a workout studio, but an amazing community! After only a few weeks the instructors and other clients know my name and always make me feel welcome in class. I also love this workout and the results I’m already seeing! The format is always the same (warm-up, arms, legs, seat, core), but the individual exercises vary so it keeps you on your toes (often, literally!).
Love this place! Everyone is so friendly and it’s such a great workout! The instructors really encourage you to push harder and also correct your form and I love that.
Pure Barre Alexandria is an amazing place. All of the instructors genuinely care about their clients and are encouraging from start to finish. The classes are challenging but tailored to every fitness level, so dont be nervous about trying it out!
Pure Barre creates an environment that is supportive and fun. They are right there with you through every exercise wanting you to succeed. The class sizes are perfect! Barre as an exercise is so relaxing. I’m glad I joined!
Really friendly place who made me welcome from the start. I run marathons and was looking for strength and flexibility training that was at a pace I enjoy - this is it! Love the classes, the warm environment and clean, smart studio. I can already feel the difference already and know this is going to compliment my running perfectly. Deffo give it a go!
Everyone is extremely friendly and the classes are a great workout! Each class is slightly different and the instructor should are all encouraging! Highly recommend to tone and work muscles I don’t normally do at the gym!
Ive been to multiple barre studios to include Barre3 and privately owned studios. This studio is my favorite and Emmas classes are especially good. Women of different sizes attend, its a good class for anyone. Men are starting to come to these classes as well!
Staff are warm and welcoming. They do a great job of correcting posture. By the 3 or 4 class youll be able to anticipate the teachers instructions. Parking is also a breeze.
I didnt know what to expect about Pure Barre. After my fifth class, I can say that Pure Barre is a great workout! The classes are challenging -very challenging- but the teachers are encouraging and helpful pushing you to come back. It will take some classes to get the movements and rhythm down. Yet, you will start noticing improvements with time. I havent been attending Pure Barre for long, but l can say that after five classes, I have discovered muscles I didnt know I have.
This was my first Barre experience and a great one. The staff was very friendly and instructors were very patient and helpful with all new people. This is a Great place and workout if you want to add something different, fun and challenging to your workout regime. 🤗
Pure Barre is hard! But its also pretty awesome! All the instructors are super motivational and also helpful if something needs a modification. I definitely recommend this program and the location is great.
I love Pure Barre. Its done wonders for my body and self esteem. The instructors at the Alexandria studio are great, hands on, and helpful in making sure your practice is getting you closer to your goals!
Love to visit this location when I’m in town and traveling. The teachers are amazing and I w been doing pure barre for 8 years so I’m legit picky. Highly recommend to anyone!!
I love this studio. Great instructors and fun community of clients. The location is great too. Check it out!
Love the classes at Pure Barre Alexandria! All the instructors are amazing. High energy and great cardio workout. The location is super convenient, everyone is helpful and there’s always positivity flowing here!
Pure barre is awesome! The workouts are challenging but extremely rewarding. The atmosphere drives you to push your hardest, but the instructors are attentive and kind. The playlist is also fab. Love the experience I get here!
I put my jeans on for the first time in several months, and they fit better than ever! I love the pacing of these workouts and appreciate the instructors feedback. Highly recommend Pure Barre.
From the second I walked in here, I loved it. It was first time at this studio and the teacher walked me through everything I needed, what I would be using it for, and how she would be going through the movements. I think Pure Barre gets a reputation for being intense (in a positive and negative way), from both a clientele and instructor side, but I never got a sense of attitude here. Everyone was friendly and the class was fun and challenging.
I have been going to Purr Barre for 2 years in Louisville, KY and just moved to the DC area. The Alexandria studio is awesome and welcoming to new clients! I look forward to including PB Alexandria into my weekly routine!
I love this studio, and particularly the new Empower workout. It’s challenging, fun, efficient, and a great addition to more traditional pure barre classes. Instructors are always very welcoming at this studio.
Greatly enjoying my first weeks at Pure Barre Alexandria! The instructors and staff are warm and welcoming, and have greatly helped me learn the barre routines in class. I can feel my muscles working, and am feeling great!
I’ve been to a few Pure Barre’s and this one is now my preferred location. I can’t choose a favorite instructor because they all have been great. Super convenient location, very clean facility, and nice staff. I hope it doesn’t change!
Pure Barre is the best way to build lean muscle and feel better over all. This is a great location. I always look forward to going!
I love this studio. I was hesitant at first but I am so glad I pulled the trigger! I have gone To 5 classes and I’m hooked. If you’re looking for a healthier lifestyle & to TONE those muscles - this.is.it!
I moved here from FL and this studio made me feel right at home! Alyson’s class is awesome!
I have been to Pure Barre been 5 times so far and have really enjoyed the experience. Jennifer, Molly and Lauryn particuarly stand out as instructors. This is my first expierence with barre, and I will say there is quite a learning curve - they say 3 classes typically until you get the hang of it - but I really think it’s more like 5-10. However, I’m not distressed that I can’t do everything 100% yet, and am really enjoying the classes each time.
The best part of this studio is that they have many weekend classes. staff are all very friendly and helpful. classes are all very well prepared and run. :)
I really enjoy Pure Barre Alexandria. The workouts are challenging without being impossible, and the staff is always very helpful and supportive. The studio is always clean.
Great workout, beautiful space, amazing instructors! Love love love.
Ive been attending Pure Barre in Alexandria for just a few weeks, but have found each instructor friendly, welcoming and encouraging. The classes are challenging in a great way - they make you feel stronger and accomplished at the end of each one!
Beautiful, relatively new studio location near Whole Foods. Usually easy to find parking and Starbucks next door is great for coffee after class. Wonderful instructors and clean, new equipment always make for an enjoyable class.
Awesome workout and great instructors that always make sure you are reaching your full potential! I finally found a workout that I love and look forward to.
I really enjoy the Pure Barre studio! I love that they offer classes that fit my schedule and I always find parking which is great!
Love coming to pure barre! It’s always a great well rounded work out and I leave feeling accomplished!
Every time Im here, I have an amazing time. People of all backgrounds, experience, body types, and abilities are welcomed! I always feel supported during class and pushed to my limits. Im addicted!
Nice staff, great workout but only 1 bathroom and not enough space inside.
This is my third week into Pure Barre and I really enjoy it. It is a great workout for your whole body and afterwards I feel great!
The people that work at this Pure Barre are nice and responsive. They respond to emails within the same day. In class they give each person attention by correcting poses or calling out good form.
Great studio! Energetic and fun instructors. I highly recommend Pure Barre Alexandria!
Excellent customer service, attentive teachers, overall nice, kind and welcoming atmosphere for all ages shapes and sizes!
Daughter took classes at this location. She enjoyed them. Prices are good
Pure Barre is an excellent place wherr you will get a full body workout. The staff is kind and helpful, the building is clean, and the location is very convenient.
Very helpful and knowledgeable instructors. Positive atmosphere. Great workout!
I do all types of workouts i.e kickboxing, Zumba, swimming, weightlifting, but this is definitely my new favorite! It’s such a great challenge. Lots of small but meaningful movements.On top of the workout being amazing, the studio itself is clean, comfortable, convenient, and has a great staff. You’re always greeted with a smile and by name and that’s a great way to start a workout.I’ll definitley be back!
LOVE the Alexandria Pure Barre studio. Great instructors and Im always able to get into a class when I want to go.
Beautiful studio, very helpful staff! they do a great job with form corrections
Clean and friendly studio, wonderful instructors. Great workout - 55 minutes passes quickly. Some parts are miserable when your legs are shaking, but man do I feel great afterwards!
I love barre in all forms and fashion, and I love that Pure Barre takes you to where you cant go any further and then asks you to do 20 more :) Everyone at Pure Barre Alexandria have been friendly and great instructors.
Great place. Everyone is very nice and helpful and the workouts are challenging and productive.
Great class! Cat was very motivating and was a good way to start a Friday morning!
Great studio! Clean and friendly—definitely recommend
The first few classes were very confusing and it was hard to keep up. The instructors try to keep an eye out for anyone having trouble, but its hard when its a full class. If you show up early or stay after class they are great about answering questions or working with you on modified movements. By my 4-5th class I got the hang of it. You arent sweating buckets, but you definitely still get a work out. Im usually sore all over the day after class and i love that bc I know its working! Id suggest it to anyone looking to tone up, and especially if you have issues with high impact (jumping etc) type of fitness classes.
Such an amazing workout! great studio with even better instructors!!
The exercise space is a little awkwardly shaped, but they make it work and the instructors are great!
My overall experience with Pure Barre exercise is probably a 3/3.5 at best; however, the instructor, staff, and location are definitely a 4. Lately, Im been trying to explore different forms of exercise and barre has exploded in the last couple of years. Just like yoga and pilates did years ago, barre has introduced people to a form of exercise that can help you achieve a strong, sculpted body. And just like yoga and pilates, barre has a huge loyal fan base even in the celebrity world. So of course, everyone and their mother, sister, and coworker flocked to barre and whether its big fitness studios like Pure Barre or smaller boutiques, barre has dominated.So I thought, If you cant beat them, join them. And I did. I bought my first class for $15. But then a week later, Gilt City offered a promotion package for unlimited two weeks of classes at half the cost. I bought that package as well. Now, I should have read the fine print more carefully because I thought the two weeks would be activated when I took my first class. However, it was actually activated the day it was applied to my account. Therefore, it was activated prior to my trip abroad and I just got back, took one class, and found out the package expires in a few days. Not great. Anyways, that sidebar aside, I took my first class last night and my instructor was Amanda D.The studio is new and very clean. When you walk in, the reception is immediately to your right, bathrooms to the left, and some cubbies to the left of reception along with a few items for sale like t-shirts and water bottles with the Pure Barre logo. The studio is directly in front, a large open space with mirrors on three sides and barres fixed to the wall. Its carpeted and the studio requires wearing special grippy socks. You can purchase these socks at the front desk ($12) if you dont have any of your own.I arrived about 10 minutes before class started and because I was new, I had to fill out a waiver and Amanda spoke to me and another newcomer before class began. She was friendly and helpful before and throughout class. Everyone around me were regulars so as soon as the music started, they knew what to do. I followed a step behind but the moves werent too complicated. No less than 5 minutes in, my abs were already starting to get sore. Wow. Thats never happened before.We used weights, balls, and stretch bands. Class is 55 minutes long and includes upper body (using weights), lower body (barre exercises), and floor work (using stretch bands and includes abdominal exercises). Amanda walked around and corrected peoples stances throughout class. Even though the movements involved in barre are quite small, the impact they have on my abs, thighs, and everywhere else is significant. I could feel every muscle working even in the smallest rotations made. Less is more never applied more than in this studio.This barre class combined elements of pilates into the workout. The exercises and moves challenged stability and balance. I can see why people swear by barre exercises to get the ultimate dancers body. My body ached after class but it was a good kind of ache. If it wasnt for the fact that my two weeks of unlimited classes are more or less gone and I still have zumba classes I need to go to, I would sign up for another barre class or two. Amanda was very helpful and welcoming. I appreciated her helping me out with some of the positions.If youre in the market for a workout that gives you a slender, strong dancers body, then I recommend trying Pure Barre. Ive heard from regulars that by going 3x a week, they see results pretty fast. Its a good 55-minute workout and this studio is new, clean, and full of great instructors. Sign up early because classes become full fast!
Positive, welcoming environment and an amazing workout!
Fun classes and great teachers!
Slow, isolated movement. Tough positions but very well instructed.
Great challenging workout!
Amazing and wonderful staff!
Great classes, a full workout
Good place
