Pure Barre — Local services in New York

Tribeca Pure Barre is my new “home” studio after moving downtown in October 2021 from midtown where I was a regular at Central Park South for over three years.

The Tribeca instructors provide challenging classes with modifications as needed, and may tweak your position to make the work more intense (pulse a bit lower, raise your leg a bit higher, etc.). The Tribeca Pure Barre community is friendly and welcoming. I’m always happy to see other regulars and newbies in class.
