I had a great time at PureBarre. This was my first ever Barre experience, and my instructor Chesney made the movements easy to understand. The studio was clean and everyone there was very friendly!

I’ve been going to pure barre on and off for several years. this studio has been great so far. I find that pure barre is so dependent on the instructors and the layout of the room, and both of those have been great at Lakeview!

I truly enjoy taking classes at Pure Barre Lakeview! The workouts are always challenging in the best way — they focus on balance, strength, and core. The instructors are all so personable, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, which makes a huge difference. The studio itself is spotless, well-maintained, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. Plus, parking is super easy, which is a big plus! Overall, it’s a fantastic workout and I leave each time knowing I’ve had a great workout!

The classes are thoughtfully structured, combining strength, flexibility, and endurance training through small, controlled movements that truly make a difference. The instructors are energetic, motivating, and always attentive to proper form, helping you challenge yourself safely and effectively. The studio itself is bright, clean, and welcoming — creating the perfect environment to focus, tone, and recharge both mind and body.

What really sets Pure Barre apart is its strong sense of community and encouragement. Every class feels empowering, with both newcomers and seasoned members supporting each other along the way. You leave each session not only physically stronger but mentally uplifted. The consistency of the workouts and the professionalism of the staff make it easy to stay motivated and see real results. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to push your limits, Pure Barre is the perfect place to find inspiration and strength.

My partner brought me to “Bring Your Boo to the Barre” and we had an amazing time! The instructor, Jamie, did an amazing job leading the class/movements, and instructing us on how to get the most out of our workout. I would recommend Pure Barre - Lakeview to anyone looking to burn off some calories with a challenging workout in a fun, unique way.

I haven’t worked out in YEARS, probably 5-6 years so I was hesitant to try anything else, publicly, again. Pure Barre was suggested to me via some friends and after doing some research, I decided to give Pure Barre a try at the Lakeview location. I ended up being the only one in the first timer class and Chesney made me feel comfortable and supported! It was definitely a tough workout but it was a good workout. Afterwards, Chesney went over all the details of how everything works and a tour of the facility, which was really nice! It was a great experience that felt truly personalized but I was not pressured to sign up, which is always a nice feeling. I did end up signing up, but not because I felt pressured which makes it all the worth it! I’ll be back! :)

In the past I've done HIIT workouts, and/or heavy lifting, but had to stop for a while. I decided to try out the Pure Barre free class, and was shocked how much it worked muscles I didn't even know I had! I can already tell the difference in my core strength after my initial 8 classes, and everyone at the Lakeview location is so welcoming!
Editing my review to say how AMAZING this location is! They have just been beyond wonderful & flexible with me & my schedule, besides the fact that the instructors & classes are awesome!

I've been going to Pure Barre for a while now, and I can honestly say it's one of the few workouts I actually look forward to. The classes are challenging but in the best way — they push you without feeling overwhelming, and you always leave feeling stronger.
What really makes the it stand out, though, is the community. The teachers are not only super knowledgeable and motivating, but they're also kind and genuinely invested in your progress. They remember your name, check in with you, and celebrate your wins, no matter how small. I never feel out of place — just inspired to keep showing up for myself.

Pure Barre has completely changed the way I feel about workout classes! I thought I was an independent gym goer for life but since joining pure barre I’ve been motivated to wake up early, challenge myself in a variety of class types, and I’m feeling stronger than ever! I’m working muscles that I didn’t know existed and feeling ready my wedding too :)

The lakeview Studio is great! Everyone who works there is welcoming and very helpful when it comes to studio and membership knowledge. The classes are well attended but not too crowded. Classic is the perfect start if you’re new to barre and want to know the basics but get a good workout in. I personally love the define format at this studio and wish they offered it more!

I have done every workout under the sun and I can definitively say that Pure Barre is the safest, most challenging and effective one there is. I have been coming to the Lakeview location for over 5 years now and the instructors are the best! They are warm, friendly, engaging and will push you to do your very best in every class. I feel stronger after every class so I come back the next day for a new challenge. There are several formats to pure barre including empower- a cardio centric class, define - strength focused and classic - the original format upon which all others are based. I can’t say enough about how much I love Pure Barre Lakeview
. I highly recommend you try it!!

My experience with Pure Barre Lakeview has been all positive. I have been with them almost a year now.

I am older and wanted to build my strength and balance and the classes provide those skills as well as cardio. What keeps me coming back are the variety of classes and the routines change regularly . All the instructors are professional, supportive and have a way to motivate me to always do a little more.

Popped on by for the intro class and I definitely broke a sweat. I just started going to the gym 2 months ago and have realized how out of shape I am. Instructor made it clear that exercises are modifiable depending on comfort level, but I personally will probably wait a few more months before I join so I can work on improving my core strength and endurance at the gym. I would like to feel more confident in being able to keep up with the bare intensity of this class, as I was out of breath within minutes. I will for sure be back. Chesney was very kind, inviting and encouraging.

“I hated working out.” That’s exactly how I want to start my review. Definitely not my thing. I’m the kind of person who can come up with a million excuses to skip a workout. Me and the gym? Total opposites—like oil and water. And honestly, I thought it was mutual.
But then I found Pure Barre Lakeview, and everything changed. These people work PURE magic. It’s like they’ve figured out some magic formula to turn people like me—who’d rather do literally anything else—into regulars who actually ENJOY working out.
Now, going to the gym doesn’t feel like a chore anymore. It’s where I feel stronger, happier, and just better overall. So, huge thanks to Pure Barre Lakeview for completely changing how I feel about fitness—and even about myself.
YOU ARE THE BEST!

All workers are very nice. They all remember names and the instructors will provide individual guidelines and encouragements during class.

Before I started, I was not close to be on my tippy toes. Now, 70 classes in and my progress is way better than doing physical therapy. Aside from that, the classes always fun and changing over time. I never had a class that I didn’t get out of it super energetic with a sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend!

I love Pure Barre Lakeview! It is the one and only place I work out- the multiple class formats fulfill all of my fitness needs. The owners are super genuine and kind, as are the instructors and others who work there. The people who attend are awesome as well and many have become friends over time. The owners have created a very positive, healthy culture, and the space also has a lot of natural light, so it’s a happy place all around! I used to go about 4 times a week and now I try for 5 because I love the results I can see and it’s amazing for my mental health. Going to the studio provides structure in my day/week that is really important to me, and it’s a lovely community!

Absolutely LOVE Pure Barre Lakeview!!! I used to go to Lincoln Park and really missed it once I moved—so I’m thrilled to have it here in Lakeview. The instructors and team are so kind and encouraging, and really take the time to get to know you. Classes fill up quick, so make sure you book in advance or ask for time recos if you prefer smaller classes.

Pure Barre is my second home. I have been coming here for two years and have loved every single class!! The entire staff welcomes you and makes you feel like part of a family. I have taken numerous workout classes over the years in Chicago and this studio goes above and beyond. The instructors are so talented with perfectly choreographed classes that have gotten me into great shape. Pure Barre Lakeview is a community and I constantly feel encouraged to reach my fitness goals. Also, classes are offered from early morning to evening so I can always find a time to workout in my busy schedule. Thank you Kali, Chesney, Danielle, Melissa, Elle, Kerry, Jordan, Gen, Jamie, Meagan, Cassidy, Maddi, and Kirk (and Louie)!!

After much prodding by a friend, I started Pure Barre @Lakeview. She loves it - and now so do I. It's great for any fitness level at any age - and trust me, you will be challenged no matter how fit you are. If not so fit (yours truly) you accommodate to your level and work towards building strength and stamina. Highly recommend - and the Lakeview staff have all been great.

Usually I’m not great at sticking with something, but they make it easy! The workouts offer a ton of variety and are adaptable for all fitness levels. My favorite thing though is the team! Every single one of the instructors is encouraging and empowering. They make class fun and are incredibly strengths focused. I love the encouragement to focus on me and my own body building strength, not compare myself to anyone else in class. I would highly recommend this studio and community to anyone looking for a positive workout experience!

One morning last August, I was taking the Ashland bus south when I looked out the window and noticed a Pure Barre studio. “Wonder what that’s like,” I thought. Up to that point, I’d never found an exercise routine that I enjoyed. Running’s a chore, I have no competitive bones in my body, and showing up at the gym on my own required more willpower than I had to give. But I thought a little research couldn’t hurt, and a few days later, I was one of two people in a “Foundations” class, a free introduction to Pure Barre.
Kali, the wonderful studio owner and instructor at Pure Barre Lakeview, gave us a tour of the studio, explained how to use the equipment, and answered any questions we had, before launching into a slowed-down version of a Classic class. Along the way, Kali taught us Pure Barre terminology, showed us which muscle groups each exercise targeted, and gently corrected our form. I was sweating and my abs were sore for two days afterwards. But I continued returning, and have just celebrated my 50th class!
For the first time in my life (I'm in my early 30s) I feel proud of my body and how strong it can be. I'm excited to come to class, surrounded by people of all ages, builds, and abilities. I enjoy the clear, consistent direction and encouragement from our Pure Barre instructors, explaining how to move, educating us about our muscles, and motivating us to do our best. There are modifications for all abilities and body types, and there is absolutely no judgment– at the end of each class, everyone applauds the hard work they’ve just accomplished.
One thing I love about Pure Barre is how different exercises are incorporated into each class, while still targeting certain muscle groups. No two classes are exactly the same! And every instructor is friendly, approachable, and eager to answer any questions.
It’s tough work, every time. I still sweat and I’m still sore after a class! But I’ve already noticed a change in my strength, my endurance, and my balance in just a few months, and I feel better about what my body can do. I am so thankful for Pure Barre Lakeview and all the instructors who have started me on my fitness journey, and given me a new sense of personal pride!

I love coming here! I have been a member a little less than a month and have gone to ten classes and already see some results. (I would have gone to more, but needed to ease into it because the workout is super intense - in a good way)

The instructors and everyone who works here are SO kind, welcoming and encouraging. I have only taken classes with Meg, Danielle, Chesney and Kali, but I would bet the other instructors are the same way.

It is slightly expensive, but not really when compared to other similar studios/fitness programs. I have also tried personal training, which is way more expensive and I have enjoyed my Pure Barre experience a lot more than that. I would recommend it to anyone!

I'm surprised by how deceptively challenging this workout is! I like that it is low impact but I still break a sweat. The only reason I won't say a complete 5-star is that, as someone newer, I wish there was a bit more explanation of certain moves or slightly more hands on watching of an instructor or demonstrator (some classes seem to have a separate employee take class as well) that could "spot" me so to speak. (To be fair: the classes have typically been very full so I know this is a challenge!) Overall, I would absolutely recommend.
