Last week my sister and I went to Pure Barre in Germantown for a much needed workout. I had been a couple of years ago, but it was her first time, so we were really excited to go together and try it out again. Wow, all I can say is that I am definitely out of shape! That was one long 9 months! Kim (one of the owners) taught my class, and she was amazing. I love Pure Barre because it isn’t quite like any other workout. It reminds me of a mixture of pilates, yoga and even bootcamp, but yet it is so different. Pure Barre uses the ballet barre to perform small movements that target every muscle to help burn fat, sculpt muscles and create long, lean physiques. Sign me up! The very next day I could feel the soreness in my abs and legs. My favorite part of working out is always the soreness afterwards. If I don’t feel it, I feel like I obviously didn’t work hard enough. I didn’t have that problem this time.
The class was an hour long, and we started by stretching, then doing some arms, and then we moved on to legs and abs. The class is definitely tough, but the nice thing is that anyone can do it no matter what your fitness level or age is. You can easily work at your own pace, and there is always a beginner way to do each move until you are able to do the full move. And dance experience isn’t required; the barre is only used for balance. If you’re looking for a great full body workout, you will definitely want to try Pure Barre. Right now they have a new client special for $100 for the first month of classes, and they offer a variety of class packages, so there is something that works for everyone. They’re also having a New Year, New You Open House on January 13 from 6:30 to 8:30pm. They will have a lot of locally owned health and beauty focused businesses there to share their services, and there will be giveaways, food, drinks and fun, so it would be a great time to tour the studio and learn more about Pure Barre. They even have some of the cutest workout gear for sale, including lululemon. = )

I am dying to try barre classes but there are no local studios in my area! I think it'd be such a fun way for me to stay in shape since I did ballet for 14 years.
My fitness goal is to finally find exercise I like, outside of sports – because playing softball a few times a year doesn't cut it! 🙂 I've never tried Pure Barre but would love to!
I love pure barre, been taking it for a couple yrs and I'm still hooked!
Yay! So excited about this giveaway! I tried my first class last month and loved it. Do you know if the winner of your giveaway would still be able to take advantage of the new member special after using these free classes? (Wishful thinking on my part hoping I win..lol)
I have so wanted to try this!! One of my goals for this year is to get back into shape!
I have wanted to try Pure Barre! I hope to finally lose this baby weight 😉
Having a baby in 3 weeks makes fitness my goal for 2015!

I just had my 6 th baby and am looking for a fun way to get in shape. This looks like it could be it!
My goals are to run at least 30-40 miles a month. I also want to run a few 5k's
Hopefully my comment doesn't pop up twice!!! I am a nursing mom, working two jobs and going back to school! I'm bored with my regular work out routine and would love to spice it up with something new for the new year! Trying to get my pre-baby body back!!! Fellow co-workers LOVE this!
I ran my first marathon February 2014 then I had my first child November 2014. Needless to say my goal for 2015 is to get back to pre-baby shape!
try to run my first marathon (st judes), and in general be more in shape and be more consistent with my workouts during the year as rotations begin for me!
I've been wanting to try Pure Barre after hearing all the positive things about it!
I've been wanting to try Barre!!
I am working with a personal trainer to make sure I'm doing things effectively and come up with alternatives for running that are easier on my spine (I have a herniated disc and some major curvature).
I want to build muscle and increase my flexibility for the new year!
I have never tried Pure Barre, but I have been wanting to. My fitness goals this year are to lose weight, gain muscle and lead an overall healthy lifestyle.
My fitness goals are to start an exercise routine that I know I can stick too! And drink lots more water! Sarah Chandler (sarahrchandler@gmail.com)
Getting healthy is my goal!
I want to run a 5K 🙂
I've been wanting to try Pure Barre!! I need motivation to get in shape!!
Oh boy. I need this.
My fitness goal for 2015 is to be less sedentary and get toned! I used to be a lot more active at my old job, so I need to start being active in my off time to make up for all the time I'm spending at a desk!
Looks like an amazing workout! Great giveaway!

Drink more water, eat less sugar, and get involved more in the community.
I'm obsessed with the Pure Barre Lift. Tone.Burn! It is such a great workout!
Well, after birthing a baby next month (yay!), the goal is to tone up! I'm not attaching a goal weight to that (which I think is a healthy mindset). 🙂 This is an awesome giveaway. I work in Germantown, so I'll be checking out the studio whether I win or not!
I've never been to Pure Barre, yet I have heard about them! My goals are to finish all my DIY projects, and to take better care of my body healthwise. Fitness class would be a great start!~!
I've done pilates at the Y in Millington, but this sounds so amazing. Fingers crossed!
Whoops, I forgot to answer the question. Ha! My fitness goals for 2015 is to get back to running, and take a master class in swimming to make my stroke more efficient and to finally learn how to do the flip turn so I don't look like a dork next to all the Navy guys doing their laps at the same time.
I'm local sometimes 😉 My goal is to get leaner and make my diet a regular part of my life.
My main fitness goal is to just make working out a priority again, and get to the gym 4-5 times a week 🙂
I definitely want to try a Pure Barre class at some point in my life, I've always been inspired by ballet dancers bodies, so hey-maybe this class could give me one!
