Iβve been doing Pure Barre for eight years and Iβm obsessed with the new River North location! The studio is super cute and all of the instructions are fantastic. I also love that being a member at River North allows you to also take class at the West Loop, Streeterville, Bucktown, Hyde park and Park Ridge

Pure Barre is by far the best workout I've ever tried. I've been a member at a studio in Connecticut since I was 16 and am still loving barre at 21! I am so grateful that I get to attend both PB RN and PB SV here in Chicago--both studios are warm, welcoming, clean, and stacked with incredible instructors. The workouts are low impact but still leave me feeling sore the next day, and the multiple formats allow you to push yourself in different ways or change things up week to week.

As someone who enjoys instructor-guided workouts, Pure Barre is by far my favorite studio Iβve tried. I love the option to choose between 4 class formats based on how your body is feeling and no matter the format chosen, you are still pushed and encouraged to get the most out of your workout! The instructors at River North are all friendly and supportive, Iβll continue to recommend this studio to friends :)

Gianna is the freaking best instructor! She invited us to come try a class with her and were immediately hooked! It is so nice to be able to turn your brain off and just have somebody guide a tough full body workout! :)

I love Pure Barre and all of the instructors at each location I go to. I was a college athlete struggling to find something I loved once I was done, and Pure Barre is my new found love!

I love the new River North Pure Barre location! I recently started going with my girlfriend (who is a pure barre fanatic) and I thoroughly enjoy the workouts. They are an excellent compliment to my regular strength training. My workouts at pure barre supplement my lifting in ways that help protect my joints, strengthen my core and improve my general mobility.
I have to shoutout my favorite teacher, Gianna LaGuardia, she brings light and compassion to every class and never misses a beat! I also love Oliviaβs 7:30am class on Monday mornings!
Pure Barre River North has been an excellent addition to my wellness routine. Thank you!

Pure Barre Chicago River North is an amazing fitness community with fantastic teachers! The workout is incredibly challenging and there are three different class types, all of which strengthen your body in different ways. I have become immeasurably stronger since I joined this studio over four years ago. The instructors are AMAZING. They are warm, supportive, friendly and deliver a killer workout with a focus on form/technique and helping clients move beyond their comfort zones. Fellow clients are amazing as well, Iβve made lifelong friends at Pure Barre River North! I feel so lucky to be part of this fitness method and community that challenges me every day!

I've been a regular at PBRN for a few years and even until this day the classes are challenging every time I go! You'll never get bored from the workouts. I highly recommend if you want a low impact exercise that will overtime help tone your muscles and build strength; it's a great compliment to any additional cardio exercise you do.
The instructors and staff are very friendly and will work to make sure your form is correct so that you can avoid injury and push yourself harder. The studios have also recently gone through an interior makeover, so the space feels clean and modern.

Pure Barre is a challenging, low/no impact, full body workout that I highly recommend to everyone. The instructors at this location are phenomenal- they explain each move specifically to help you achieve better form, they're encouraging and motivate you to work your hardest. It's a friendly and inclusive community with people of all ages and fitness levels in class. The studio itself is bright and clean, and they play upbeat and fun music to keep you going! The pricing is very fair for packages and classes, right in line with other group fitness studios in the neighborhood. I've had nothing but positive experiences here over the course of 6 years of annual memberships. Definitely check them out and take a class!!

I canβt imagine not starting my day without an energizing, motivating, positive Pure Barre class each day! From the moment you enter, youβre greeted with friendly faces and the instructors are super motivating & supportive throughout class. Thereβs so many different barre classes available but until youβve tried Pure Barre at the River North or Streeterville location, I know you wonβt consider anyplace else!!

I have been going to Pure Barre River North for over a year now and highly recommend it. If youβre new to barre workouts it may take some time to understand the movements and get the most out of each workout, but once you do, you feel great at the end of each class. The instructors are extremely helpful and are always offering tips and advice in order to help everyone maximize their barre experience. The studio is always clean and organized and the community is great.

Great sweaty full body class! My hip flexors and glutes are on fire!
We were a group of 7, 3 of them were older adults that have never done Barre or any classes like this before. Sarah and the other instructor (sorry forgot her name) was amazing and took the time before class to walk us through the breakdown of the class. They demonstrated all the equipment we were going to use and showed us modifications for the many injuries we have. Throughout the class Sarah was very attentive and corrected each of our posture and movements. We appreciated how much time she spent helping our group.
The class itself was a perfect full body workout; cardio, abs, band work, glute strengthening. It was clear what body parts we were working and movements were long enough to give us a healthy burn. I love (Hate) the sliders exercises she included and i'll definitely be adding them to my repertoire.
The studio itself is quite small; that being said I appreciate a clean and odorless studio. There's 1 bathroom, a small changing area and lockers you can borrow. They also have some merchandise you can browse through while waiting.

I'm shocked and disgusted by the treatment of customers by Pure Barre River North. I went to class at 11am. I was greeted by Dani. Dani asked me to sign in and my name, Brittany White, one of the most common names in the world. She said she didn't see it and if I had gotten confused with another location (I have taken several classes at this location because I live in River North). So, I told her no I hadn't and showed her my confirmation with location, day, time and instructor.
She was still unsuccessful in finding my name and I was not allowed in the studio. I said I'm done and didn't want to take class. Then, she conveniently found my name as I walked out. I called back to speak to manager. The owner, Shelbye, got on the phone. I explained what happened. She told me it was the studio's 5th year anniversary and things were crazy.
WOW! Is that an acceptable excuse for your employee not allowing a customer in your establishment after customer paid for a class?
I will never go to this studio and let everyone I know how people are treated by the owner and employees.

Great facilities, energetic instructors, friendly front desk, music was good and options were given for regression/progression.
I was on class pass and tried 3-4 Barre studio. Pure Barre was my favourite and I signed up a first month with them!
Highly recommended!

I am still in the early stages of Pure Barre so started off with a little fear and uncertainty as I've never done dance and would not classify myself as flexible. But there was nothing to fear as the instructors at River North are amazingly talented, kind, and provide the right level of energy and motivation. They both challenge and support, and are all so different and fun that you are never bored. I highly recommend this studio!

Pure Barre at River North has been a fabulous experience so far. After attending 5x in my first week (which is abnormally high for me, but I keep going because it is such a great workout for the time allotted), there was no question I'd be signing up for the 5 week pass. They offer convenient times, have varied workouts that don't feel too monotonous, and pay one-to-one attention when needed - which has been so helpful for me as a new member. I would highly recommend this workout and location.
