Pure Barre®, with more than 180 studios across the country, is a unique total body workout that uses the ballet barre to perform small and precise, isometric movements, which burn fat, sculpt muscles and create lean physiques. The Pure Barre® method is specifically designed to be low-impact, making it easy on the joints. However, this joint-friendly workout is extremely effective for transforming the shape of a woman’s body in a short period of time. WHAT TO EXPECT? The classes are set to great music which helps you transition through movements smoothly and quickly, so you don’t have time to focus on the muscle burn. Each workout session is composed of strength and stretching intervals. Each strength section is
followed by a stretching section, helping create long, lean muscles without bulk. The technique is masterfully designed to lift tone and tighten your body, helping you defy gravity, one Pure Barre® class at a time. WHAT TO WEAR? The ideal attire for the class is comfortable pants, leggings or capris (no shorts) and a top that covers your belly.
