Pure Barre coming to Preston Royal Village

National franchise Pure Barre will open a location in the vacant space next door to Royal China in Preston Royal Village this fall. Geared mostly toward women (although men are welcome), the studio mixes ballet and Pilates. As an alternative to high-impact workouts, the method tones muscle rather than bulking up, says owner Britta Lofgren, which is why it’s ideal for women.
