I've been at Pure Barre San Rafael for about 6 weeks and I love it!!!! I do at least 3 classes a week. The instructors and owner, are amazing. I'm 56 yrs old and I can't afford to get injured. The instructors make sure you're using the correct form and the community is great. It's nice to see all different ages and body shapes in the class.

I started taking classes through ClassPass and quickly got hooked! So much so that I upgraded to an unlimited membership. The workouts are consistently challenging, and just when I feel like I can't go any further, the movement changes. That pace really works for me—I have a short attention span with exercise and need a steady stream of new moves to stay engaged.

Over the past four months of coming regularly, I’ve felt myself grow stronger and more confident in my body. And yet… the classes never seem to get easier! I’m not sure what kind of voodoo that is, but I’ll keep showing up regardless.

I’d recommend this studio to anyone who wants to explore what their body is truly capable of. And finally, a huge shoutout to the instructors and fellow members for creating such a warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth atmosphere. It’s a truly unpretentious and supportive space and I’m so grateful for that.

Unfortunately I got exactly 5 minutes late for my trial class - all my 4 friends were already there, and I couldn’t take the class with them. I understand the policy but def I don’t wanna be in a place that doesn’t tolerate 5 min.

I've been going to Pure Barre on and off for almost 10 years now. The San Rafael location is so well run. The teachers are knowledgable, upbeat and encouraging. The owner Denise is so nice. They've really built a great community here. Love this as a form of exercise as it's really easy on the joints and great for the core!

If you’re looking for a healthy lifestyle community to accomplish your fitness goals with…this is it!

Be aware of their free intro classes, and their membership agreement. Got a free class, were having a trial membership, my understanding one month 4 classes total for $89.00 They required before I start, to sign a liability in case of accident, etc. That is the "only" thing I signed. I gave them my chard to charge for the month, period. Then I was notified when I'm going to go to class again. I said I was not interested in continuing. That's when I was advised that I supposedly signed up for 3 a month membership! and they made an unauthorized charge on my card extra month. I asked to be refunded they refused they claim that I signed 3 month membership which at that time oh, they send my what I actually signed??? No way. I am now disputing the charge with my bank which will take 90 days. Please be aware!!

Love PureBarre! The teachers are wonderful & the environment is so inviting. The classes are great for toning, burning and strengthening. Increasing the strength of my abs and back muscles has helped tremendously with the back pain I experienced before joining. If you’ve been thinking about joining, give it a try! I was hesitant at first too but now so glad I did.

Pure Barre is my favorite workout! I love that I always feel challenged in a new way with each class because the instructor varies the moves to work a different little hidden muscle that I didn’t even know I had. I cannot do cardio workouts, so Pure Barre is perfect for me since I’m never out of breath, yet I’m always working to the point of muscle fatigue. I feel great every time I finish a Pure Barre class. The instructors are super friendly and knowledgeable, and they give lots of helpful adjustments to correct my alignment and form. Pure Barre is the best for toning and stretching my body in a comfortable and positive environment.

Loving pure barre SR, great instructors, fun music and a very efficient workout. It’s helped with my back pain by focusing on core strength and good posture. Great for your legs too if you’re getting ready for skiing!

I've been coming to Pure Barre at San Rafael for 4 years now. I love all the teachers! They have slightly different approaches and keep you from getting bored. They explain each step in details very well. It's 55 min workout and you essentially workout every single muscle of your body. I was very sore after each class but I built my muscle and got used to it. I start to notice the toning of my body and love it! It's fun!

I had never taken barre before but came here with a coworker and absolutely loved it! Love how attentive the instructors are, especially when they know it's your first class or if you're new since they'll take time to break down the form and explain the movements to you. Its a great workout (hello glute and ab burn) and goes by so quick! Started with a week pass but ended up buying a class pack because I enjoyed it so much.

I love Pure Barre San Rafael! All the Instructors are skilled, personable, patient and super friendly! They learn your name on your first class, and they also will give each member of the class personalized guidance when needed - They will show you how to master each position during class! This workout is very challenging, but not boring or too difficult.
I feel energized after the class! I highly recommend it to anyone!

Competitive tennis has been my sport of choice for many years. I never thought that this type of class or workout would be for me. I was so wrong. This is a solid workout and I can feel the strength coming back to me. Love it. Thank you,

I like that I can get a full body workout in before work (without getting too sweaty) and feel great for the rest of the day. The music is upbeat and fun, and I like that the instructors correct your form to ensure you're engaging the right muscle groups and getting the best from the workout.

I just moved to San Rafael and feel so lucky to have found this studio. The owner, Shannon, made me feel completely welcome from the very start and the entire team is always friendly, helpful, and inviting. After my first week of classes, I was officially hooked, and have been pleased to see fast results in just my very first month at Pure Barre! I feel so much stronger and always challenged! This workout is the perfect complement to other activities and exercises, including surfing and snowboarding.

I have really enjoyed my workouts at Pure Barre San Rafael. The classes don't get too big and the instructors are great about helping us to make adjustments when needed. I have been going for about 6 weeks now and am already seeing results. Not just in looking better, but I am definitely getting stronger and my running has improved. The owner and staff also welcome feedback, such as on the schedule, and are very responsive to the clients. The location is also great.

Wow! As a lifelong cardio junkie, I've always struggled to find a workout that brings balance to my running and swimming but still satisfies my need to get a truly hard session in - Pure Barre is IT! I love the way I feel finishing class, can feel the benefits in my other sports, and everybody there is pretty darn awesome too. I'm a believer and so happy to have found it. Thank you Shannon & crew.

Barre has transformed my body. It works on places that seemed impossible to change with other exercise, especially for the little time I have. 2-3 days a week is all I need!

I have been a regular at Pure Barre San Rafael since shortly after it opened in the summer of 2014. I've seen amazing results. No other workout--and I've done a lot--have produced the kind of toning I've experienced from Pure Barre.

I can tend to be a clock-watcher in workout classes but that never happens at Pure Barre! The classes are challenging and fun. The instructors and staff are friendly and I always feel warmly welcomed.
