I love that I can take a class almost every day and always leave feeling great. Pure Barre has not only improved my overall strength, but it's also made me a better runner and given me the balance and stability to improve as a climber. The classes are diverse, challenging, and target all muscle groups, making them an essential part of my routine and a great complement to my other hobbies. In addition, all the instructors are amazing and very encouraging. I enjoy the Downtown Oakland Pure Barre community and although I am awfully shy I still feel like I am a part of the crew.

The amazing community at PB Uptown means it’s not just about moving my body but having friendships and conversations that I look forward to each week. There’s a culture of doing what your body needs and getting better with each class. I can’t imagine working out anywhere else!

Love my evenings at Pure Barre Oakland! Great energy from Gabby, Beth, and Helen. PB super friendly front desk staff. Love all the classes! I feel strong and proud to get another class in getting closer to 100 class club! PB got me ready for my Spartan Trail Race. I finished 30 minutes faster than expected.

I've been coming to this Pure Barre location for about five months and it's great! I definitely feel stronger in my core and posture. I haven't loved Barre that much in the past, but I really enjoy it here. It feels very welcoming and diverse. They have classes at convenient times and they're not overcrowded. Because of timing, most of the classes I've taken have been with Helen or Greer who are both great!

I like that the different flavors of Barre are sort of like Barre mixed with other types of exercise. My favorite is normally Define, but I do all of them depending on my schedule. They also offer new types of classes that are mixed and have various events going on. All in all a great place!

I really wanted to try a class and sign up for a membership but no longer interested. Most studios I’ve been to allow up to 5mins grace period except for this one. I registered and paid for a class so that I can try it out. I was late for about a minute after the class started and was turned away. That’s ridiculous and not a way to attract and retain new clients, especially when they express their interests in becoming a member. I wish I had read other reviews before wasting my time and money at this place.

I really enjoy what pure barre Oakland has to offer. The classes are HARD. The teachers are nice and I like the variety of personalities in the teachers and variety of people taking class. The strength (define) classes are really helpful for functional life and Gisela’s cues have helped me improve with form in and out of class. The studio also does a good job of doing stuff to keep members engaged like challenges and raffles or other prizes. I do miss Reform class format though and wish they would do them every now and then as a treat!

I have been enjoying the barre workout at Oakland uptown for more than a year. I can see the difference in my body shape and my muscles. I feel welcomed and supported by all the instructors and staffs at this location. Will definitely continue my workout journey at this location!

I would leave zero stars if I could. I had a class booked via ClassPass but because I was running one minute late I had to reschedule for another day. Fine. Then I arrive to class and they said actually they couldn't rebook me because it was ClassPass even though I specifically asked that. The owner of the gym was outright aggressive with me even tho I was so upset and crying. She didn't have an ounce of empathy for me and didn't offer so much as an apology. I've never been treated so rudely and she ended the exchange with "have a nice life." I'm not the first person who I've heard of who has left the studio CRYING because of her. If you're thinking of coming here.... RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time coming here… came in on Tuesday to get the wavier sent to me. Knowing I would arrive right on time day of my class. Was told by the girl with red French manicure, Along with another staff person at the desk with her “just make it in before 640p”. I corrected her and told her I’m actually signed up for 530pm. Was told then “ no worries, just make it in before 540pm.
Today, I showed up at 535pm literally. Was Denied entrance!
The lady (caucasian) also did not want to pronounce my name correctly, even though it was Pronounced ahead of time To avoid being butchered. She wanted to pronounce it, how she wanted to pronounce it. Which was very rude and Inconsiderate. The lack of effort tells a lot and matches her energy. So I’m glad to know that she wasn’t leading this class. I will not be coming back… not friendly, not welcoming! Not Sure this is really a place for BIPOC… not even if you see them working at the front desk.
Lack of consistency at your front desk can be confusing!

This work out is perfect for my needs right now- low impact and high intensity, small muscle movements to build and, apparently, sculpt 💪🏼

My Favorite Team member is Aali, Beth Greer, Gabby, karalen, Helen.(all trainers are amazing, even the ones I haven't had a class with yet) I can't chose one because they are resilient in showing up to train me. They are patient, they gv me motivation, and most of all they NEVER make ME feel like a failure. So THANK YOU Staff for having me.💛👏

This was my very first barre class. I was nervous, because I did not know what to expect. It definitely was a full body workout and it kicked my behind. Miranda, the instructor, did a very good job, she went around assisting people who weren’t necessarily in the right form or position with every exercise. I definitely plan on signing up for more classes.

I am new to Barre and took an introductory class with some trepidation. The teacher Gisela was great and patient with me when she noticed I was flagging a few times. I signed up for more classes as I think this will really get me in significantly better shape before the end of the year!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pure Barre classes! The mix of classes and the actual workout moves that are a mix of disciplines is exactly what I need! I love that the moves are carefully selected to target core areas and the Instructors are AWESOME! I took the initial challenge and did 10 classes in 30 days, and I am so glad I did! My range of motion is better and my core is getting better and better every day!

I took my first Pure Barre class yesterday from Gisela S, and it was fantastic. She was an absolute joy - motivating, real, and very funny! The workout itself was super fun, and it was easy to do modifications for my body. The place is a little gem, with a beautiful workout studio, some gear, and the best tasting water in the bottle filling station!

Helen was the best barre instructor I’ve had! I loved her energy, instruction, and momentum of the class she led. I’ve done a good number of barre classes before so from that POV, think it’s a great one for those new to the technique to learn and practice their forms. Might leave those with a lot of familiarity wanting a bit more cardio and muscle shaking sets. Overall a great place!

Great staff and instructors. The space is very neat and clean. I appreciate how they ask if you’re okay with hands on corrections before the class starts. Classes are very beginner friendly. I’ve gotten Karalen and Helen as instructors and they were both amazing. Emily & Randall at the front desk were also very welcoming and helpful.

This was my first experience at Pure Barre and it was a wonderful experience. I feel every muscle we worked which was my goal, and I left feeling renewed. I appreciated that as a beginner I wasn’t forced to do things that made me feel uncomfortable. I was able to work within my own comfort zone throughout the class. I look forward to my next class and hope to continue making strides toward my fitness

Thanks to the staff for making me feel so welcome. Until the next time…
