Pure Barre — Local services in New York

Took 1 or 2 classes here with classpass and then got an amazing intro offer for the studio for 3 months, so I figured “why not?” A couple of classes in, I was so afraid of what I had gotten myself into for the next few months because it felt SO hard.

After completing my 10th class, I can say I’m hooked! I’m amazed at how strong I feel with each class, and I feel so much more comfortable with the movement style. I have a strength training background, so I love the Define classes where deadlifts and bent over rows are sprinkled between the typical barre movements. For Classic classes, it’s incredible the burn you get from such small body/light-weight movements. The classes also go by really quickly and flow smoothly from block to block so that I’m usually shocked by the time the lights go down towards the end of class.

The instructors are amazing! They empower you to get through the class with both motivation and humor and make a ton of individual adjustments (with consent) if you need a little help getting the hang of things.

The progress I’ve made in a few short weeks and the fun I have every class have me excited to continue with my 3...

Pure Barre LIC is amazing!! I suffer with back problems and sciatica and was having a hard time finding a gym where I felt I could get a good SAFE workout in but also be told what to do since I never learned how to properly workout. Fast forward 1.5 years later and not only have I lost weight and continue to tone up but I have built an amazing PB family! I walk in to see the friendliest and welcoming front desk staff, supportive members and truly fabulous teachers who all have so much knowledge. When my back hurts you can always find that whomever is instructing is going to be checking in to not only help adjust you if something isn’t correct but if I am having back issues that day will give me notified moves where I am still feeling the workout in the targeted areas! Alongside a friend I made in class. I cannot not recommend PB LIC! This place truly is amazing with great workouts and supportive staff and members of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Everyone is welcome with love a smile and a...

I've attended about 20 classes here so far. It's a small studio with one room and a lobby. I recommend trying different instructors to see which one fits with you. My favorites are Alexandra and Sammi as they give great feedback and encouragement. Grace always puts a smile on my face because she keeps it real. Music is a hit or miss - sometimes its pop hits, sometimes its old throwbacks; they try to make the rhythm match the workout so it's not always fun to listen to. The classic goes through warm up, arms, thighs, seat, abs, and cool down and while it's predictable, it's never easy. I appreciate that they always seem to be doing sales for their packs of classes so I've never really had to pay full price so far. My only criticism is that the classes are back to back. I like to go early to stretch and get settled but often there's a class that ends 10 minutes before the next class. Then the narrow hallway gets crowded as the previous class tries to leave while the next...
