Pure Barre

I am old. I am out of shape. Really really out of shape. But they made me feel welcome and though I couldn't hang, it was a great start. I'll be joining them for class regularly!

I started going here because I was coming off of an ankle injury and figured barre would be a good low impact workout that would also help improve my balance so I would lessen the chances of future ankle injuries. I never expected that signing up would lead to me consistently working out for the first time in my life but here I am 6 months later! While I am nowhere near hitting all my fitness goals I have noticed a big improvement in my balance and I notice that I am getting a little better in my form each time I go. The instructors are patient, helpful, and encouraging even though I’m not the most athletic person out there. I like that the classes are always challenging no matter how many you’ve attended and that there is a repetitive format so I somewhat know what to expect. Parking is also very easy which is a huge plus for me. The only con I can think of is that the lobby is a little small and classes are pretty crowded on the weekends so it can get a little chaotic at times but l’m happy to deal with it because the location is great. I never thought I’d be a 6 am workout class person but it is slowly becoming my favorite way to start my morning (pro tip: Starbucks is next door if you need help waking up!)

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.

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 …

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!

I've 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!

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 !!

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.

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 don't be nervous about trying it out!

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.
