I moved back to Chicago to kick off 2025 - I wanted a place I could walk to regularly and enjoy working out in. PB Streeterville has checked that box multiple times. Love the teachers, the studio, the community factor. Plus if I can’t make a class here I can swing over to River North. Bam! 💥 no excuses - get it right get it tight. Thank you PBS for making 2025 so easy for me to focus on my health goals.

Pure Barre is the best workout class/company I have ever been apart of. Everyone is so welcoming, and always makes you feel like you belong. The workouts are rewarding, and I always leave feeling amazing. The instructors correct your form continuously, and the adjustments that they make really help you feel the difference in how much form impacts your workout! 10/10 would recommend, I will be a longtime customer for sure! (Olivia is amazing)!!!

I go to sleep so excited to go to class at 7 am the next morning! The results are a given but, the dedication of the instructors and music is off the charts. Every movement and workout is orchestrated to the beat of the music which gets me fired up and keeps me engaged. The staff is super helpful too and they’re always coming up with new incentives to motivate their members.
They Are The Best!

Pure barre is the only workout I look forward to; the great instructors, fun music and workouts achievable for all capabilities makes for such a positive environment and experience. I love being able to follow favorite instructors to other studios and take classes with friends at their home studio, despite the franchise model since we are able to use any of the studios under the same membership and there are a few across the city. The themed classes, fun challenges, and motivating instructors keeps things fun and fresh all year round. The Streeterville location is my favorite, I highly recommend checking it out if you are thinking about it!!

I cannot recommend Pure Barre enough. The instructors and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the environment is accepting and supportive. I love the variety of exercise that PB offers and i can feel myself getting stronger each week. I’ve made some great friends at the studio too which is a huge plus! I have been coming here for a year and a half and I don’t know what I’d do without this community :)

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by the amazing staff and instructors. The studio is always clean, bright, and inviting, and the energy is consistently positive. Each class challenges me in the best way possible — it’s a full-body workout that leaves me feeling strong, centered, and accomplished every time.
The instructors do a fantastic job guiding the group while offering personalized tips and encouragement. Whether you’re new to barre or more experienced, they make sure you feel confident and motivated.
Pure Barre Streeterville has become a highlight of my weekly routine, and I truly look forward to every class. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, empowering, and effective workout in a welcoming community!

Great workout!! I’ve been coming a year and a half usually one class a week. The Classic and Align classes have worked well to strengthen my core and firm me up overall. Also the instructors are all friendly and helpful and assist with adjustments if there are things you can’t do.

I've been taking Pure Barre since 2014 primarily at the Chicago Bucktown studio. When the Streeterville studio re-opened in 2023 under new management I decided to give it try since it was close to my office. Bucktown is still my favorite location but Streeterville is a very, very close second. The location is convenient (easy bus/walking access from Streeterville, Lakeshore East or River North), later evening classes for those like me who don't work a typical 8-5 job, and the instructors are absolutely wonderful. I'm impressed with how welcoming the instructors and desk staff are to new members on OGs alike. If you are considering trying out a PB class - definitely give the Streeterville location a try.

I started as a member in 2019 at this location, and took a break when it was closed for covid times. After the studio fully closed, the ownership changed in 2023 and I signed up again. I loved the studio back when I first started, but the new management has a definite positive impact.
Everyone is so helpful and encouraging. If you have any questions they are quick to get back to you with complete answers, the studio is super responsive.
For the classes, each instructor has their own style. Some are intense, and some a bit more chill, some more high energy. However, all of them are very encouraging, supportive and inclusive. It's nice to be able to have the variety if a style of instructor suits you better.
Personally, I am not a fan of working out. Pure barre is really the only workout I enjoy, which helps me stay consistent. I started taking barre without any established workout routine in years. One of the major reasons I stuck with barre, is because the workouts are super effective without causing shortness of breath, which I hated when working out in the past. The community is so welcoming and people attend at all different fitness levels. The instructors are also able to help modify movements for any injury or chronic issue. There's no judgement from the instructors or from other members if someone is modifying. There are also 4 different class formats, so if someone prefers strength training they should check out define; if someone prefers more balance and stretching, align is great. Empower is the cardio focused class and classic is low impact, high intensity focusing on fatiguing muscles. The music is helpful to be able to just pay attention to what the instructor is saying to do, and then follow. I love that I don't have to make any decisions, and can just zone out and get in an intense workout. It seems like for everyone, regardless if it's day 1 or someone that's taken thousands of classes, it continues to be challenging.
The owner has a few studios, so it's awesome to have the opportunity to be able to take class at all her studios, which is rare for pure barre! Usually wherever you sign up, that's the only location and your membership doesn't work at any other studio. Since she has a few, it allows for more opportunities for classes incase you enjoy a certain instructor, need a certain time, or are in different area.
If you are thinking about stopping by for a class, or signing up for a membership, I highly recommend it!

I have been a PB member for 9 months now and love it!! It truly is my escape from reality every day. The instructors and staff are so uplifting & welcoming. One of my favorite things about PB is the constant encouragement offered. From doing Bingo, monthly challenges, sweet treats after class or hands on adjustments to ensure proper form, they always have me engaged & pushing me to be stronger.

I’ve been a PB member for 3 years now and I’m so glad this studio reopened last year The new owner Britt and the entire team - Julia, Melissa, Heidi to name a few are absolutely amazing, engaging and care about their clients. The studio has classes with 4 different workout formats, and varied class timings for any morning-afternoon-evening workout. The team does hands on adjustments during class and ensures you have a proper form to maximize the workout experience. I could do PB every day because why not when you’re having fun while you Lift-Tone-Burn.

I've been attending various classes at Pure Barre for a while now, and I absolutely love it! The Empower and Define classes are particularly challenging for me, but they provide an excellent workout. I try to take classes at least four times a week, and after about 20 classes, I've definitely noticed an increase in my muscle strength, especially in my arms and abs.
The instructors are fantastic—they really focus on adjusting your posture and form, which is a big part of why I chose this studio. Highly recommend Pure Barre for anyone looking to get stronger and more toned!

I’d been a PB member elsewhere before and I can only say that this has been my best experience with a PB studio by far! I’ve been a member at this studio since the new management took over last year.
My instructors and most of the staffs remember my name and I really feel the sense of community here. But most importantly, I feel that the instructors (and hence the quality of the workout) here are unbeatable!
As someone with a bit of music background, it usually irks me when instructors don’t follow/count the beat of the music properly (especially when it’s the last 10 beats, and most dance moves are counted in 8s) but most instructors here are really well trained and/or have really impressive backgrounds. They really pay attention to your postures and try to correct them. I particularly love taking classes with Julia and Tomo! Even just seeing the studio owner, Britt is so aspirational. She’s in such great shape that it keeps me motivated to keep up, to get fit and toned 💪🏻
I also notice that they’ve been adding more and more class times and varieties, and seem to limit the number of people in each class so that it’s not too crowded and everyone can get comfortable space.
Even my husband commented that this is the only workout place I would commit to coming everyday without any complaints. Thanks PBSV for an amazing experience!

I've been a member at this studio for over a year and I love it! All of the staff are amazing, friendly, and always help assisting with your form throughout class. They offer a few different class formats and make it easy to schedule classes through their app. One of my favorite things about this studio is that they always have fun events to keep you motivated like Bingo, monthly challenges, Taylor Swift Tuesdays, and occasional treats like mimosas after class. I have seen great results from Pure Barre and would highly recommend checking out this studio!!

I visited this studio while visiting Chicago for a long weekend earlier this month. First of all, the studio is so well maintained, clean, and has plenty of space to sit and feel comfortable. I took a classic class with Angel and loved it. Angel was very welcoming and knowledgeable. She made the class fun and challenging. I also took an align class with Melissa. All the stretches and exercises were worth it. Melissa was also very welcoming and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this studio if you live in town or if you are on vacation.

Decided to start trying to get back into a fitness routine after some injuries. While it’s low impact, you FEEL it! Even the beginner classes will have you shaking. The staff here is also really great at helping you modify if a) something hurts or exacerbates an injury, or b) you’re not feeling it in the muscle group you expect.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I signed up for a membership on April 1 and it was cancelled on me without warning or communication. I found out days later that the studio is now closed. I reached out to pure barre support and the studio owner multiple times with no answer. I have NOT been refunded and am extremely frustrated with this whole situation. I will not be going to any pure barre studio again.

This club started off great. I was so excited. Then they suddenly closed. Zero communication from the club or corporate about this closure. They are now sending past due notices. Reaching out to Pure Barre corporate is sad and pathetic. They just tell you to reach out to the franchise. How does a company that promotes wellness, empowerment and community have zero concern when it comes to you? Greed.

Pure Barre Streeterville offers a tightly focused exercise regimen that quickly yields positive results. The classes emphasize small, isometric movements to activate full body strengthening, toning, and stretching for a lean and fit, but not bulky physique. No question that the classes are tough, but why would you take them if they weren’t? At the same time, the arc of development from beginner to advanced student is quite a short transition, given the effectiveness of the routines. It’s easy to focus on the choreography in a music driven approach led by friendly, encouraging, enthusiastic, and highly trained, experienced teachers. They offer individual attention and adjustments in addition to leading the class so that each student gets the best possible outcome. Unlike many other studios, there’s no chit chat, no delay in start time, and no interruptions. The outcome is dramatic results without any drama!

After taking class for a month, I can fit in my skinny jeans. I can not stop staring at my body, no doubts I look great and confident. I recommend Pure Barre to everyone that wants to be in shape for the bikini season.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a new work out routine to check out Pure Barre Streeterville ! The staff have been absolutely amazing and I actually look forward to my classes. I’m definitely not “fit” or athletic by any means but it’s nice that the instructors are encouraging and I’m sure with more practice I’ll start to get the hang of things. Each class flies by so quickly and it’s so nice that you’re not rushed to leave after class. Instructors will stay and answer any questions you might have. I’ve been to other workout studios where it’s a rush between classes and the instructor disappears right after and it’s hard to ask questions. So far I’ve taken 5 classes each with a different instructor and they’ve all been great. I also LOVE how helpful the front desk person is. Overall it’s a great experience and I look forward to many more classes (:

The most fun, safe, and consistent workout for anyone, even those who have chronic injuries. It feels strange the first time you try a barre class (which can be any barre studio, but Pure Barre is one of the hardest), but I advise to give it a try a few more times before crossing it out. Sarah L. (manager for both Streeterville and River North studios) is a fantastic teacher with excellent music choices. She will make sure that you have a great time even if that means every muscle burns. The owner, Shelbye, is also an awesome teacher and is super sweet although she does not teach classes regularly. If you spot a class taught by her, go grab it!
Platform is an aerobic version of Pure Barre, which gives you a different workout from regular barre classes. I love them both and it's fun to mix them up. It's a good idea to bring a towel for Platform classes in case the workout involves putting your elbows over the hard platform surface. (and of course to wipe off sweats during class)
FYI they have a water fountain, lockers (no need to bring locks), and changing area but no shower facilities. It is a clean and spacious studio where you do not feel cramped.

Pure Barre is by far the best work-out I have ever done! It is extremely effective - when I dedicated to taking 5 classes a week while preparing for my wedding, I lost 15 pounds, dropped 2 pants sizes, and really toned up my arms. Additionally, the classes are intense and challenging, and the focus required to make the mind-body connection for the isometric movements really ensures that you get a mental break. The classes never get old because you can always push yourself to to a new goal. The downtown Chicago Pure Barre studio at Streeterville has a super convenient location for people who work at Northwestern, a great class schedule, and wonderful instructors - all of which makes it possible to fit a work-out into a busy day!
