So, after attending a grand total of THREE Pure Barre classes I figured it was time to chat about it a little. First things first, I've been told on NUMEROUS occasions how much I would LOVE Pure Barre being a former dancer/cheerleader. Although, let's be honest, the older I get...that part of my life seems SO, SO long ago and my body isn't quite not even close, to what it was during those years. Anyways, I've always heard how amazing it is...I mean it better be with that price tag, right? (It's EXPENSIVE for those not in the know) Like....$150/month expensive. For a CLASS. Not a gym, just ONE class. WOAH. I don't know about y'all but that is a LOT of money to spend on a workout class. Nonetheless, I had been dying to try it out...you know because I had been told I would just love it.
So, finally....little ole' Columbia got a Pure Barre studio. It's been open since October...but I finally bought a Living Social deal last month and decided to give it a whirl. Finally, this was my chance! I am going to TRANSFORM my body...ha. That will be the day. But, seriously...I was excited. And to be honest, I feel a bit let down. I really just have mixed reviews on it. Is it going to TONE my body? Absolutely. But, it is not solely going to help me lose weight. And for the price tag, I just don't know if I can justify it. It is an amazing {LIFTING, TONING, BURNING} (that's their slogan sort of) work out. Like literally, some part of my body is shaking the whole class....now granted, although I've been TALKING A LOT OF CRAP, I am still very much out of shape. But, I see girls in there who have definitely been doing it a while (you can tell by their form and ummmm...bodies) and they shake too! But, there is ZERO cardio and for someone who has pounds to lose, you need CARDIO as well. In a perfect world, I would do Pure Barre twice a week and run/do a cardio video two or three times a week. But, the MONEY! The MONEY! You can pay by visit, so I could buy a package for like 20 classes and go as often as I like...but it's still a pretty penny. I think it just SHOCKS me how expensive it is. $22 per class. WHAT?!? I just don't see how that could be your SOLE form of exercise. And that's a LOT of money to pay for it not to be. I guess if your other form is free (running) than it would help some. I dunno...like I said, I'm torn.
Don't get me wrong, my muscles are SORE. I shake like nobody's business. I am definitely TONING and BURNING. It is a good workout. I just don't know if it's good enough for the price. When I would have to do something else as well. I've got a few more times to go before my living social deal runs out...and I guess then I will have to make a decision. Maybe in the meantime I'll find that money tree......
Here's to LIFTING, TONING, BURNING!!

So glad to read your post about this. I live in Greenville, and when a PB studio opened right near my house I was interested in finding out more. That was until I saw the prices, goodness, so expensive! I just don't see how so many people pay this much for one class. I'll stick with Jazzercise, which I've been doing for 2 years, love, and has helped me lose almost 30 pounds so far!
