Like the instructors very much. They are all experienced, open to questions and willing to correct any movement that may be incorrect. Every Staff at Columbus Avenue is friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend this place. π

Pure Barre UWS Columbus Ave is a parallel universe where everyone is kinder, stronger, and somehow able to hold a plank for an alarmingly long time without crying. I aspire to be like them. Until then, I shake in the back corner and call it βprogress.β
The instructors here are truly incredibleβequal parts coach, comedian, and benevolent drill sergeant. They somehow manage to say things like, βJust an inch lower!β in the exact tone youβd use to offer someone a warm cookie. And because theyβre so charming, you actually do go an inch lower. Against your better judgment. Against the laws of physics. Against the will of your quads.
Every class is a masterpiece of tiny movements that absolutely should not be this hard and yetβ¦ here we are. Shaking, sweating, and contemplating life choices while pretending weβre βfinding length.β
And the energy? Impeccable. The perfect blend of supportive, high-vibe, and βweβre all in this together even though none of us can feel our legs right now.β You walk out feeling strong, accomplished, and at least two inches tallerβwhether from improved posture or pure pride.
In short: this studio is a gem. If you want killer workouts, instructors who make you laugh through the burn, and a community that makes even the hardest pulses enjoyable, you need to get yourself here immediately. Your future toned self will thank you. Your current self might whine, but listenβ¦ thatβs part of the charm.

If youβre looking for a chill, calm low impact workout, this place is good. But if Iβm spending $40 to workout, I want to sweat and actually feel like Iβm working out.
This class was a little sleepy for me.

This system is outrageous. I went into the studio and took 1 class three months ago- theyβve been charging me ever since for a monthly membership I did not sign up for and no one will answer the phone to cancel. And no voice mail! And theyβre not connected to any other pure barre in the city.

This studio and its warm, welcoming instructors and staff have truly been a wonderful UWS discovery! From the moment I stepped in, I felt embraced by a community that is both uplifting and inspiring. Discovering Barre this past year has been such a joyβI had always assumed you needed a former life as a dancer to succeed, but that myth is busted! The workouts are challenging yet approachable and inclusive, and the incredibly supportive instructors ensure that every class feels empowering rather than intimidating. I only wish I had walked in sooner!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Pure Barre UWS! I've been going for a year now after many years of being too intimidated. Fortunately, zero dance background is needed to get the benefits of this great full-body workout. Additionally, the instructors are absolutely amazing - so supportive, encouraging, and they really make you feel a part of a community.

If you want to decompress and exercise at a place that's run with the rigidity and spirit of the Swiss railways, this place is for you. I sprinted to make the class, arrived 2 min late and was told coldly I would not be let in. I get 5min, I get 10min, but 2 min? Am I meeting the President inside? Who is paying whom? It's astounding to me that this has worked in NYC, capital of pragmatism. Going back to CorePower, where I will be greeted with a smile, even 2 min late. Namaste !

I scheduled a free class here, and to my surprise booking it seemed easy. Two days before the class I get a text message saying you have to add a credit card on file 24hrs before the class because they charge for no shows, and if you don't add a card you'll lose the booking. Why not say this when people are adjusting their schedules to commit to the class then? The day before the class they called me and again asked for a card. This seemed shady, so I gave them a card for an old account I no longer really use.
I read the no show policy. It says you have up until 4hrs before a class to cancel or reschedule. If you don't do that or no show, you'll be charged. The order of this next part is where I draw the line. I arrived to the class less than 5 minutes late. I was pleasantly greeted only to be told I couldn't enter because the class had started. That's the strictest grace period policy I've ever seen in my 30 years in NYC including the professional ballet school I attended. However, the front desk person then said she could reschedule me. She was offering me dates and times. I was about to reschedule, and then she looked me dead in the face and said, "ok I just have to charge you for the no show first." How odd to say you intend to charge me for a no show after you offered to reschedule me when I am standing in front of you because I didn't no show. Before I could say anything else, I guess she tried to charge my old card and couldn't. She then proceeded to ask me to put another card on file. I just turned around and left. There are so many studios in the UWS offering similar serviced in the same price range with clearly delineated policies and better customer service. Who knows what they'll make up to charge you for.

I recently took a free fitness class at Pure Barre, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the studio itself had a calm, inviting vibe. The class focused on low-impact, high-intensity movements that targeted core strength, flexibility, and endurance. The instructor was incredibly motivating and provided clear instructions, making it easy to follow along. I loved the combination of small, controlled movements with quick pulses that really worked my muscles in a way to strengthen my core. I left feeling both challenged and energized. Definitely excited to return for more classes! :)
Try your next session here at Pure Barre, I recommend it.

I have so far taken about 3 classes at this location and itβs been a complete nightmare to deal with some of the staff, namely Megan and Paris. I am using the studio through my health insurance so I am not sure if the reason they are treating me so poorly is because of the third party involved and reduced fee I pay for my classes but the second class I took I was 1 minute late and Megan refused to allow me to enter the studio, despite me having checked in for the class through the app. Mind you, this is my second class at the studio. She was horrible to me and even sent me a condescending email stating that they have this zero tolerance policy for being late despite this being my second class, having no notice of the policy and checking in to the class via the app. She told me they donβt use the app bc thatβs corporate and that I could just take a class another time as if I didnβt have other things to do. I also booked the class a whole week in advance. The third time I went to the studio I noticed that a class was missing from my account. Paris told me she couldn't do anything because my classes are through a third service provider so I had to call them because they can't add the class back to my membership despite me only being a member for less than 30 days. I have now been on the phone for an hour with corporate trying to solve the issue. The classes themselves have been fine. I have taken barre at other studios in other states and they were definitely friendlier and more helpful. The vibe at this location definitely feels off and a bit dodgey given the aggressive policies.

I love this - in fact, I love this SO much I signed up for 3 more months after the intro month! All the instructors are incredibly supportive, encouraging and helpful with modifications if anyone has any "issues";-and everyone has their own style which makes for fun variety. There's a wide range of ages and physiques and everyone is encouraged to do what's best for their body. And results, yes, visible results in a relatively short time equal the payoff! Truly the best 50 minutes of "self-care" ever!

The review by Maya V is fundamentally untrue and inaccurate. Our standard contract includes a 30-day cancellation clause. We did implement a cancellation fee. She knowingly signed the contract and is simply trying to avoid any future payments. She originally requested to cancel without mentioning any medical condition or other mitigating circumstances. Rather than calmly asking to discuss the matter, she immediately threatened litigation. I believe you would be well-advised to ignore her obviously hysterical and immature reaction. PURE BARRE OWNERS EVERYWHERE - BE ADVISED YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CLIENT!

I had a very poor experience here and would caution anyone against getting a Pure Barre membership.
Pure Barre did not tell me verbally that they charge you for a full extra month after you cancel. I.e. if you try to cancel anytime in the 30 days before you next get billed, you will still be billed for that next month. They have this sneaky policy in very small font in the contract, and I was not told in person about it when I signed up for my second month at a different rate. They charge a 100$ early cancellation fee if you don't want to pay for the entire next month.
I am getting a lumbar puncture (which will make me unable to do barre) and they are still charging me for the month with no regard for my health issue.
The instructors at the South Central Park site are also better.

Fantastic class with Jennifer - one of the most challenging Pure Barre classes in NYC or NJ. Jennifer gives very clear verbal instruction and demonstration and provided corrections to a very full class. Really enjoyed the variety of exercises incorporating the flexible bands/tubes that targeted multiple muscle groups. Looking forward to my next class to continue/improve tucking.
Amazing first experience with Pure Barre Columbus Ave and class with Kelsey. Extremely challenging class and a great deal of variety with different movements/exercises to fatigue the muscles. Great, clear instruction and demonstration as well. Looking forward to my next class and continue to be challenged.

I have had 2 separate run ins with the studios haughty policies. The first time I happened to be in the neighborhood early and asked to be bumped up to a 7:00 class (signed up for 8:00). The lady said that if I bumped up to the early class, I would get a cancellation fee for not attending the 8:00 class. I did not attend the earlier class but I wrote a stern, yet respectful email to the manager and never heard back. Today I arrived 3 minutes late and they refused to let me in the class saying it was a liability issue. I was never told that these were the studio's policies until after the fact which makes me think the manager is just out to get extra money in her pockets. I will not be coming back to this studio. Considering the cost of each class, I expect much better customer service.

Really horrific customer service. Their manager, Audrey, turned me away saying that I could not participate in class because I was wearing shorts (lululemon fitness shorts). She would not refund me the class, nor would she add in another class for me to use at a different time. Instead, she hid behind the adhesion contract they make you sign when you first attend, which may or may not state that you're not allowed to wear workout shorts. I wouldn't know since we aren't actually presented with a copy of our signed "contract" (which is a waiver, and FYI aren't enforced by courts anyway). Capris are ok, btw, so I guess there is something about the back of a kneecap that irks these people? Anyway, regardless of how I feel about their bizarre attire requirements, my main issue was how disgusting the manager was. She was cold and calculated, having clearly issued her robotic speech several times before. More importantly, her attitude showed a really poor business sense. I live a few blocks away and have been attending classes daily for years. I generally will frequent flybarre, physique, or figure4 for my uws barre needs, but decided to try purebarre again because of the 6:15 pm class time. From now on, I'll stick to a studio who actually cares about their clients and business. Their policies are arbitrary and meant to unfairly consume their clients' money -- and also are borderline illegal; you can't charge people for a class, deny entry based upon an alleged policy not standard in the industry and potentially undisclosed (or at the minimum inadequately disclosed), and then refuse to give the value of the services paid for. Either give the client her money back or add in another class for that client to use, but don't deny the product for which the client already paid. Really unhappy with my neighbor here in the fitness community. If anyone else was turned away for this reason, feel free to contact me. Cumulatively, if they are hiding behind an alleged fine-print policy and eating clients' $20+ over and over, there may be a class action on the horizon. Oh, and P.S. Purebarre, your "tights only" policy is effectively gender discrimination.

Instructors are welcoming regardless of skill level. They make a point to walk around the class and correct form. The studio is clean with cubbies, small towels & a filtered water fountain although no showers or locker rooms (although the restroom is very clean and spacious enough for a quick clothing change). I found the workout itself is very challenging, I loved it.

Cheerful and friendly front desk staff, owner, and instructors! They all remember my name and I only come on a once or twice weekly basis at various times. Only one changing room and one bathroom, and bathroom is only accessible by walking through the classroom, so it's tough to come straight from work and have time/space to change clothes. Small studio in general, but the equipment is in decent shape and they have great number of class time options and Platform classes too.

I had my first ever barre class here and was incredibly nervous about what to expect. Kara, the teacher, went through the moves and lingo before the class started that I would need to know. She came around and perfected form, too! I was sweating during the warm-up! I'll definitely be back!

This morning was my third class and Pure Barre is addictive. I've had three great instructors (Maureen, Elizabeth) and one instructor who actually opened the Columbus location (Margo) and they are all patient, help to ensure you are doing each position correctly and overall keep you excited about finishing the workout strong. Will you sweat and is it challenging? Yes. Is it worthwhile and do I feel the difference in my body already? Yes. Take a look at the site and try and get the special introduction rate for the month which allows you to try it out, learn the positions and make an informed decision. I'll definitely continue!

Pure Barre Upper West Side is a great studio! Take a class with Kara. Her classes are challenging but fun. Kara is energetic and encouraging, ensures that you have good technique, and makes you challenge yourself.

Super nice studio and a very pleasant young lady welcomed me at the front desk. The teacher was so personable and great! I loved it when she immediately asked for my name and if I had any injuries which I thought was very professional.
I would love to be back!!!!

I've taken one class so far with Meaghan and I will most definitely be returning again! Both the front desk staff and the instructors were kind. I felt welcomed by the entire group and felt the burn of the workout.

My experience at the Pure Barre studio on the UWS has been amazing! I just started and finished my 3rd class in a row. I feel better about myself and my body, but will admit that it is hard. You are going to sweat and be sore after the first 2-3 classes. I'm confident that the soreness will wear off and after that comes the toning and looking good.
This studio has great trainers and a great space in general. Really nice experience overall.

I took my first class with Elizabeth this morning (thank you classpass!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The class was fast paced and somewhat challenging for someone already in decent shape. The barre work is wonderfully relaxing and refreshing while still being a legit workout and the mat work is very nice and seems very effective but does feel a lot like something I could do at home given a YouTube video. Overall it was great and I'm happy I went. Would go back and recommend to Friends that I think would enjoy this kind of workout.

Pure Barre UWS is great- clean, easy, chill class that almost always leaves me feeling sore. Teachers are energetic even early in the morning.

Great workout. You will definitely feel it after, but after doing barre about twice a week for a month I'm already more flexible and toned.

I had a terrific experience at upper west side Barre today with instructor Will. He knew I had a bad shoulder and was very sensitive to that. I definitely would go back.

Great first experience at Pure Barre. Ashley, the instructor was very thorough in her overview of the class and upbeat throughout. The class flew by and I'll definitely be back due in part to her teaching and the overall workout. Thank you!!
