Pure Barre Annapolis

I love this studio! The front desk staff is very helpful and friendly. The instructors are very knowledgeable and keep the classes challenging (while still being fun!). Highly recommended!

Pure Barre Annapolis is a great fitness studio. The energy is positive and empowering and the (either all or mostly women) staff is welcoming and friendly. There is a sort of trendy yoga/​LuLu Lemon type vibe here which is enhanced by the fact that they sell stylish (and expensive) yoga-​type workout clothing in the front of the studio. They incorporate their «barre» part of the studio name in cutesy ways on several shirts. It seems that they would appeal most to a 20 – 35 year old crowd.
The instructors are in awesome shape which is motivating but they are not so overly buff that one would feel intimidated. The instructors also walk around during the class and help position you. The classes are not cheap ($ 25 a pop) but they do offer monthly packages which would help cut the cost down for the frequent exerciser.
The one negative is that the workout requires some coordination and incorporates a lot of small muscle movements that, at least for me, do not come naturally. The instructor encouraged us to keep coming and that we would get more comfortable with the routine and small muscle movements after a few sessions (which I would agree seems reasonable). A lot stretching is included in the class which feels nice and helps connect you with your body.
I would certainly recommend Pure Barre Annapolis but be ready for a different type of workout.

After going to a TON of different barre classes throughout the area, I am upping my review to a solid 5-​star. With classpass, I can only attend a specific fitness studio three times within a given period before I have to wait to come back. I went to Pure Barre Annapolis first, so I really had nothing to compare it to. Now that I have been to a bunch more, I can say that Pure Barre Annapolis is the BEST! Best class. Best instruction. Best Teachers. Best Music. Best facility. Just… the BEST.
That being said, I still feel like like beginners could easily get overwhelmed if they let themselves. However, as a beginner myself, I don’t let it. If there is a move I can’t do yet, I attempt or ask for an alternative, modified version — even if it isn’t immediately offered. At the end of the day, only I know my body and I don’t expect the instructors to know everything about every client and what their aches and pains and injuries may be. They can try (my instructor checked in with me before class started upon my first class), but it’s hard. Clients have to take ownership of their own fitness goals and limits.
After my classpass session is over, I am definitely going to buy some packages here and continue with my fitness mission. So happy that the best option actually happens to be the closest to me. 5-​stars all the way! You should definitely try it!

Okay, so I guess my last review was flagged for not being helpful.
Let me start this by stating that I do not work for Pure Barre and am not compensated by them in any way for writing the following (or previous) review. I’m just a big fan of the workout and love everything about it.
I have some issues with my feet that keep me from partaking in any kind of exercises that involve jumping, stomping, or continual bouncing of the feet (such as running, dancing, etc). Basically, I can’t do anything that’s high impact. Pure Barre allows me to get a full body work out while maintaining «low impact» status. If there’s a certain exercise that makes my body uncomfortable, the instructors are more than happy to show me how to make modifications to fit my needs.
I love the instructors. I’ve worked out with almost every instructor that teaches at PB Annapolis and each one is amazing. I love that they use different exercises during the classes so that I don’t get bored with attending classes (they use different music too, which is awesome!). I truly enjoy Pure Barre Lite on Saturdays, which is just a slower paced version of the regular class focused on perfecting your form. It’s a nice change from the regular, more fast paced class sometimes.
After attending classes for about four months, I’m still in love with the workout! It never gets easier, but that’s not why people work out, right? However, you do get better at it. My abs look amazing, my «seat/​ledge» is beginning to look better, as are my thighs.
Overall, as someone who never really enjoyed working out before (and, therefore, would quit easily), I look forward to each class and can’t see myself stopping anytime soon!

I have been attending Pure Barre since they opened and I LOVE it! the staff is awesome… and I actually would call them my friends… they are funny, and cheer you up when the last thing you want to do is workout. The classes are hard and so fast which is one of the many things I like about the workout. highly recommend it!

My first experience with barre, and I am hooked! I love the idea of a low impact, full-​body workout. Each instructor is knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and friendly. As someone else said, you never regret finding the time to go to Pure Barre Annapolis!

Love everything about Pure Barre! Great facility, killer workout, and great instructor! I’ve been to barre classes at other facilities, but none compared to Pure Barre! I felt that I got my money’s worth! I’ve also been doing barre for 3 – 4 years at home with DVD’s on/​off so I am familiar with most of the moves, yet I did several new moves with Pure Barre. I was shaking throughout the class and had a to take a little break with some of the moves. The instructor I had was Gabrielle. She immediately introduced herself to myself and my friend and told us what to grab. She demonstrated moves and she came around to correct form. Additionally, she remembered our names to state that we had good form, which was motivating! I felt sore soon after the class today and know I will be more sore tomorrow, which means my body is changing! I will definitly be back!
