I ❤️ PBHSQ! I’ve taken almost 450 classes here, and I cannot get enough. I leave every workout feeling stronger & empowered. The instructors and staff are so kind and you can tell they really care about every single person in the class! The various formats allow you to get what you really want out of a workout (cardio, high intensity with empower, slow burn with classic, stretching and balance with align, and weight lifting with define). The unlimited membership is definitely the way to go in order to save money on the cost per class.

Pure Barre Hvd Sq is a place I go weekly to sweat and smile! All the instructors are truly so knowledgeable, funny, and motivating. I leave there feeling refreshed, challenged, and like my body is getting stronger and stronger with each class!

I’ve been coming here for about five years and I can’t get enough! The teachers are so kind and talented. I’m constantly learning so much and continuously feeling stronger (physically and mentally). The community that has been built through this location is so beautiful. Coming here is often the best part of my day! :)

My experience at Pure Barre Harvard Square has been nothing short of magical. The instructors are funny, friendly and extremely helpful - they really work hard to ensure everyone succeeds in their goals - especially at this studio. I turned 40 this past year, and I have never felt stronger and more confident in my body. Grab a friend and a pair of sticky socks and try it out! I did on a dare two years ago and am a Pure Barre convert!

For the past eight months, I have been attending Pure Barre. I began due to an osteoarthritis diagnosis and an inability to lie flat on my back on a hard surface. I have gone to Empower, Define, Reform, and Classic. I love Define, and Empower is not my favorite, but Pure Barre is the best. When i began last February, I got tremendous support from the leaders and the participants. I have improved from 50% to 90% success, to 100% planks during Classic, to being able to get up from flat back to table top. I am also now able to lie flat on my back, Who would have thought!

Remember your favorite teacher and best sports coach. That's Jamie O'Kelley at PB. She's created a team in her image. Superb teachers with spirit. They can motivate people from introverted grad students to achy seniors. And increasingly men who realize fitness is more than strength. Sign up soon before their popularity becomes a stampede. The Scandinavians have just proved that flexibility, more than diet or exercise, is the key to a long, healthy life.

I've made more progress regaining strength and flexibility with 3 months of Barre than I did in a year + of PT following hip surgery. It's a tough workout! But the atmosphere is supportive and the results are noticeable.

Pure Barre is the best! It is a super fun but very hard workout. I'm not wasting my time with this class - I can see the results and I'm stronger because of this class. I use this class as my hip mobility physical therapy session. My lower back pain is so much better because of Pure Barre. I love that I'm in control of how hard I work and I know when to take it easy so I don't hurt myself. I can't say enough of good things about Portland Pure Barre. I just love it and I'm so grateful that I found it.

Unfortunately, as you get older the medical diagnoses are “it’s part of the aging process.” For the past six months osteoporosis and thoracic arthritis have been part of my life. Last September I found I could not lie flat on my back on a yoga mat and do floor exercises, but I could still golf, ski, walk and live!
In January due to an amazing amount of snow in Colorado, we could not get to the mountain to ski, so volunteering at a food pantry and my friend’s barre studio in Denver were the alternatives.
I returned to Cambridge in late January, and joined Pure Barre on 1/29. Two months later, I have been to 31 classes, and unbelievably, I am now able to lie flat on my back for many exercises without pain. I can’t do everything, and I feel great. I definitely recommend Pure Barre for everyone. The instructors are wonderful, and they suggest accommodations to the exercises that are too difficult for anyone.
I am 73, and Pure Barre rocks!

The best classes, instructors, and community. Started coming here after having my kid and the instructors have been amazingly thoughtful at modifications! The space is inviting and I felt comfortable being a beginner in class. Nobody takes themselves too seriously here, and I genuinely look forward to class. Thank you PBHSQ!

I have been a member at PureBarre for about 6 months and enjoy it. The instructors are friendly, energetic, and will make adjustments to your form if need. You will never do the same workout routine twice. Membership prices are normal for the area. You must give 30 days notice prior to cancellation & there is a $60 re-joining fee if you want to cancel your membership then restart later.

One of my favorite places in the world! I’ve been taking classes since 2021 and love how they’ve added new class formats & equipment and always look for feedback, especially when it comes to class times/formats. The instructors are so friendly and always build our confidence to help us be our strongest selves!

Hi, I’m a guy & I’ve spent the past 20 years long distance running as pretty much my sole exercise. Then I started Pure Barre at Harvard Square & Assembly Row and I’ve never felt better. The series of workouts (Classic, Define, Align) have been challenging and fun, and the instructors like Jamie, Raquel, and Hannah are awesome.
Guys - start Pure Barre and find out for yourself how much you’ll like it!

I’ve been a client of Jamie’s since 2021 at her PB Assembly Row location. Was gutted to leave due to a move but thrilled to learn she has now taken over ownership of PBHSQ, my new regular location. I love this studio! The space and instructors are great and Jamie and her team are fantastic and really care about the client experience. Come check out the PB technique and stay for the muscle shakes :)

As a single mother of a newly 4yr old and a full time over 40 hrs child care provider . I made it my mission to step out of my comfort zone and try something new, To help me gain the confidence and motivation to work out more and sufficiently. I’m glad I’m a PB member and I relocated from Watertown to Harvard Sq. I love the staff !!! The woman are friendly and helpful too when I have any questions.
