I have been an attending PureBarre for over 10 years and love the addition of the Align class! It is a wonderful restoration for stretching and Faith is not only skilled as a PB teacher but provides a great environment to stretch as well as build strength. Great job, Faith, thank you!

Pure Barre in Oakley is a beautiful studio with fantastic classes.
I am about 16 classes in and that is about how long it has taken for me to figure out what is going on (in a good way). The instructors are really great about helping with adjustments so you get the most out of movements- so if they are giving you lots of adjustments in the beginning that is totally normal. I am down 1/2 inch in my waist and feel strong. I also have more energy. I am also waking up muscles and learning to recruit them.
The studio is beautiful. Immediately when you enter, shoes go to the left. There is a variety of clothing, including "sticky socks" or "grip socks" which are needed for class (you can buy these ahead of time or in store- they run about $18). There are also skincare and other fantastic smelling items from a woman owned brand (this Pure Barre is woman owned too).
Towards the back is the check in desk. The barretender and instructor will greet you there. Be sure to tell the instructor you are new (if you are) so they can pay special attention on your form.
There is a bathroom all the way to the back.
To the front right is the studio, and behind it are lockers and equipment. A whiteboard will show equipment needed (and this is wiped down at the end of class).
The class itself is fantastic; there are 4 total formats; they move quickly and have great music- it's completely normal to shake- in fact it is a good sign. Classes somehow fly by for me- and I usually do get an endorphin rush.
Instructors are high energy and super nice. They give clear instruction and do an excellent job of making sure your form is at its best.
Other clients are super nice and if you let them know you are new, they are very motivating; some of them are thousands of classes in!
If you are on the fence about whether to give Pure Barre in Oakley a try I would definitely recommend it- and if you stick with it you will love it!

Alyssa's instruction in Pure Barre Classic was fabulous. I felt challenged (as usual at Pure Barre) and motivated by Alyssa's energy. Loved her class because I really needed it today and Alyssa delivered!

I love Pure Barre and I love this studio! I just wish that I found PB sooner. I can always find a class that is fun and challenging that works for my schedule — those classes are usually with CeCe and Abby, who are so encouraging. But trust that no matter who the instructor is or the class format, you will not regret starting PB.

I ❤️pure barre Oakley! The atmosphere is so welcoming and every instructor is top notch! The variety of formats keeps things interesting and even though I’ve gotten stronger, the workouts are always challenging which is what I want! Each instructor is truly impressive but I wanted to mention how amazing Ashley is….her cues and set up allow me to level up each exercise and she is always super encouraging!

The instructors are truly amazing, but the rude and rigid behavior of the front desk staff completely ruins the experience. I was one minute late—literally 60 seconds—and was still refused entry to class. I even confirmed the time with the staff member because I was in total disbelief. The lack of basic human understanding or flexibility was shocking, not to mention the same instructor class started 5 mins late last week from time when I was there 5 mins early.
I’ve taken classes at many other studios in the area and have never been treated like this. This place clearly caters only to people with a strict 9–5 lifestyle and has zero regard for those with nontraditional work hours. I had just worked a night shift, woke up early, drove 15 minutes to get there—and was basically told “too bad, come back later” when I had to go straight back to work.
Absolutely infuriating experience. I was genuinely considering switching to Pure Barre, but after this, definitely not at this studio - it’s also limited in space preventing movement if the class has some people. They might have great instructors, but no level of quality instruction makes up for how dismissive and unaccommodating the front staff are

Pure Barre Oakley has been my second home since before the pandemic. Teachers are great, I love Christina, Julie, Abby, Ashley and CeCe’s classes. The front desk ladies (Gina in the mornings) always greet you most kindly, studio is clean and has a relaxing ambience. Pure Barre has everything I need from an exercise, strength training, aerobics and stretching. Classes may be challenging, but always fun, and they change so it never gets boring. There are different class formats so one can do Pure Barre every day. For me it is the time of the day I have only for myself, to recharge, meeting my Pure Barre family and resting the mind while moving the body.

I have been going through a lot of health challenges and she listen and was able to modified exercises that were a little difficult for me. I felt confident to try my best and before I had a questions she help me correct my form to engage my body correctly! I will definitely be back soon !

Pure Barre Cincy has become so much more than just a workout for me—it’s truly a home away from home. From the moment I walked in, I felt supported, challenged, and surrounded by a community that genuinely cares. Every class helps me grow into a better version of myself, not just physically but mentally too.
All of the teachers bring their own unique energy, and yet they all share one thing in common: they are incredibly encouraging, empowering, and genuinely invested in each person’s journey. It’s a space where you feel uplifted and seen every time you show up.
A special shoutout to Abby, her encouragement is unmatched—she’ll push you further than you thought possible, all while making you feel like you’ve got a true friend in your corner. Abby’s energy, kindness, and commitment to her students make each class something I truly look forward to.
If you’re looking for a place to feel empowered, motivated, and welcomed with open arms, PB Cincy is the place!

I love that at Pure Barre you can have both an amazing community and an amazing workout. The group class format make the classes approachable and the teachers still make it feel personalized, both with helping me get into the right form and pushing me to work just a bit harder. Shout out to Alie, Abby, Julie, CeCe, Katie, Christina, Ashley, Erica, George and Chloe for being just the best! Pure Barre can be challenging at first because there is a lot going on but they all are there to help. I've been going to some form of Barre classes for 7 years and still find myself learning something new about my form and how to make it even better and stronger each class. Kendra does an amazing job at finding great instructors who keep the energy up and everyone working their hardest to get the most out of our 50 minute classes.

I usually take some time before signing up for memberships, but just signed up after my free intro class and have no regrets. I’ve been looking for a studio with a variety of comprehensive workouts ever since AKT closed down and Pure Barre seems perfect.
As far as studios go it’s on the pricier side compared to others I’ve seen, but what I think makes it worth it is the fact that they really take the time to make sure your form is correct, which is #1 for me after dealing with a few misuse injuries. Yet I can still tell the workout will leave me sore and help me grow! The staff is also so friendly and the studio is very bright and welcoming. Not to mention there’s free coffee!
Overall I’m very excited to take more classes at Pure Barre and have a feeling it’ll be my new gym for a long time.
And oh—remember to bring sticky socks!

I have been going to Pure Barre for 6+ years and continue to come back. The work out is always challenging, no matter how many classes you've taken. You will definitely want to wear leggings/pants and sticky socks make a big difference. The owners and the teachers are always friendly and helpful. Good class time options, free street parking very close and recently added new classes.

I first saw Sylvia for a complimentary skin consultation in the summer. This is a 15 minute service offered on her website. Within in minute of observing my skin, she saw that I had a lot of clogged pores. She asked me about my skin routine and was able to pin point that my use of Argan oil may be contributing to my excessively oily skin. Although, I was skeptical I took her advice and within a week I saw a major decrease in the amount of blackheads.
When I went for my first facial, I filled out an extensive questionnaire that asked about my lifestyle, my diet, health history, and past and current medications. She used this information on the sheet as the current state of my skin to create a CUSTOM facial. I loved it! She talked me through the applications of the products and gave lifestyle tips to better my skin advice. We even came up with a plan to control my acne and even my skin tone. After leaving, my skin was glowing and was very smooth. Since then, I have seen her 3 times and she has never disappointed! I plan to purchase a facials packages so that should let you know about the quality of her service, her professionalism, and knowledge.
She recently launched her skincare line and I purchased 4 of her products (cleanser, serum, acne treatment, and moisturizer). I stopped using all of my other products to give them a fair shot but also they have been working better than my old products.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21
I already made up my mind to invest my skin health and Sylvia's services and products are worth the money. I'm a repeat customer and I have already recommended her to my friends and family.
