Every class kicks my butt. The results are remarkable, however, in my energy, my flexibility, my strength and posture. It’s a low to no impact workout for folks with more fragile joints but you will feel it in every muscle.

Great work out studio with times to accommodate everyone's schedule. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a class format -- the instructors are very helpful to show you the correct form and to provide modifications for injuries/fitness level.

I have done many different types of exercise over the years and gone to several different gyms. I have stuck with Pure Barre the longest of all of these. I love that there are different class formats and the class routines change regularly but not too quickly. There is accountability and the teachers are so encouraging and know just when to stretch you to do a little bit more.

I like the variety of the classes, that there are different moves and reps to do within a class, and the instructors. It’s a very positive environment and I always feel good after the workout. Each day is different and it’s nice being told about modifications too, whether that is to make it easier or a little harder depending on how you’re feeling that day.

Finally deciding to do Pure Barre was the best decision of 2025! I took my beginners/ welcome class in late April and Kennedy was wonderful! For the last three months I have taken almost every class type and every instructor and they are absolutely amazing! For 50 minutes I get to focus on me, my body and mental health and I feel so much better!

I love Pure Barre Kalamazoo! It is a fun way to get a full-body workout that also incorporates both weight bearing and cardio exercise types. Going to PB improves both my health and mood! ❤️

Classes can be modified to be harder or easier for all activity types. Even when I am being consistent, I still get a great workout in. If my body needs a lighter modification, I still feel supported and not judged! 💪

Instructors are friendly and approachable. They do not mind answering questions about a move. They seem to genuinely care about their clients. 😊

They are also a juicy leaf pickup spot, which is convenient for me personally. I pickup my juices while I’m here! 🧃

The pricing options are very reasonable, considering all that is offered here. The price seems low compared to other workouts I’ve done. The value is worth the money for me. 💵

I have no hesitations in recommending this studio!!!! ✨

I love the feeling of community even if I am taking classes with someone I’ve never seen. I love the variety of body shapes & sizes as well as fitness levels. I never feel self conscious or like I shouldn’t be there.

I just wanted to take a moment to share how much this journey has meant to me. This is the first time I’ve consistently stuck with exercising for more than a few months — and I’m now going strong at 1.5 years with over 170 classes!

The energy and encouragement from the instructors have made all the difference, constantly pushing me to challenge myself and improve. I especially love the Classic class for its full-body workout and stretch — it leaves me feeling strong and refreshed. I’m also a big fan of Align; balancing and stretching have become so important to me as I get older.

Thank you for all the amazing work you do. You’re truly making a positive impact, and I’m so grateful to be part of this community. Here's to many more classes ahead!

So far love Pure Barre. Just started & went to my 2nd class. Very fun environment, with low impact workouts on your joints. Very diverse group and welcoming to all. Staff went over studio policy in depth & made sure you understood commitments, cancellation policies. Highly recommend if looking to change up your workout routine or need accountability for exercise.

Not sure I can say the behavior of these negative reviewers, many of them members of WMU's Delta Zeta chapter, align with their sorority's six core values: friendship, curiosity, generosity, empowerment, community, and belonging. What I CAN say is that Pure Barre Kalamazoo is EXACTLY all of those things. It's a life changing experience filled with wonderful people - not just a workout. I simply cannot fathom the selfishness, lack of humanity, grace, and class one must have in order to intentionally organize an attack aimed to maliciously hurt a small, locally owned business. Pure Barre Kalamazoo is a home to SO MANY and was just rebuilt and reopened 2 months ago after a tornado completely wiped them out in May. All of this over a couple hundred bucks. You signed a *legally binding* agreement. Black and white. Take this as a key learning moment, delete your reviews, and spend your Thanksgiving break doing some soul searching.

Honestly glad I never got a membership, my friend did, unfortunately, and I have lost all respect for this establishment. First of all they had informed us that the student discount membership would be 99 dollars a month, yet my friend is getting charged 150, it may not seem like a lot but as students 50 dollars goes a long way. To top it off when my friend tried to cancel her membership they were extremely rude to her and belittling even though they are the ones who either wrongfully charged her or misinformed us. They even said she couldn’t cancel her membership because you have to give them notice 30 days PRIOR to cancelling the membership, which also means she is going to be charged for the following month supposedly. If you’re looking for a great Pilates place I wouldn’t recommend this pure barre unless you’re trying to have all your funds drained from you.

Ever since Pure Barre Kalamazoo opened, it has been a consistent space for me to workout. When the tornado demolished the building, a temporary space was utilized. During this time, I realized Pure Barre was so much more than just a place to workout. It was a space to come together and to support one another, it is about community.
I have also made some wonderful friends at Pure Barre and enjoy going to class. Added bonus, the new space is amazing.

Long story but it’s explains why I’m giving such a low rating.

I called multiple times to try and cancel my membership and finally received a call back just for the woman to be extremely rude. First of all, I’m in college and can’t really afford things like this but I loved it so much I thought I’d splurge. I was charged for the first month for $99 (the student discount) which was completely fine. I also bought a tshirt and socks because I am a firm believer in supporting small and local businesses. But it was something that actually was making me happy so I didn’t care if I had to be cautious with my spending until my next pay check. I was told when I signed up that it was okay for me to only pay for the one month and that I wouldn’t be charged again since I told them in person and that I’d just have to call for them to cancel it over the computer. Fast forward, I looked at my card since it suddenly said it only had $3 on it. Of course I was freaking out and went to see what was charged and saw the $149 charge. I’ve always had so much fun at these classes and loved the environment and people, so I thought this would be easily taken care of since everyone has always been so nice. The woman on the phone (I’m pretty sure the owner), told me she would not be fixing the mistake of over charging me and that she will make me pay for another month and the extra $50 will just go toward that. When I said I don’t have the money to pay for this month or the extra month, I was told that it’s my fault for not reading the email sent to me. Even though I paid for the membership in the studio and was told differently, and that there was no possible way that I would be told that since it’s “policy”. I also said since I’d been trying to cancel it and no one ever answered my calls if there would be any lenience, especially since I hadn’t been to any of the classes this month either. I was told it wasn’t her fault and it’s not her job to babysit me since she had so many members. Which seems like that’s not the case since she can’t refund me at least the $50 that I would’ve had if she hadn’t made the mistake of overcharging me. Also said that it’s not her fault that my calls hadn’t been returned because her usual person answering phone calls had been sick the entire week and still hadn’t come back to work yet. She also made sure I knew she was running a small business and can’t just give handouts and refunds to anyone who asks.Which I understand, but it’s just the fact she couldn't even be kind on the phone and chose to be greedy. I also went on my app to see if it still said I was a student and sure enough it did, so basically charged me the extra money and is now making me pay for another month since I didn’t send an email instead of calling 30 days in advance to cancel it.

My instructor was Kelly and I attended the Valentine’s Day event with my partner. Kelly was awesome and made me feel super welcome, as this was my first Pure Barre session. She has an energizing presence and made me feel accepted in an environment that I’m not used to. She was concise and informative, and showed me modifications for the more difficult movements. The workout was amazing, plus great facility/equipment/people. I’ll be back!!

I haven't been to a Pure Barre before this one opened up and I've had such an amazing experience. Everyone is kind and personable. All of them intentionally remember names and they always strive to perform their best. There's nothing but positivity from the instructors. I don't ever feel pressured into anything and I've only ever felt comfortable. If I have any issues going on, they are so quick to help in any way possible. The classes themselves are challenging but satisfying and I'm happy they are offering more levels. This high intensity but low impact workout is just what I need. These workouts aren't something I would do on my own and coming into the studio gives me the motivation to do so.

They have a few different packages to purchase or you can purchase one class at a time. They also run promotions often, if you're looking for an opportunity to get in for a good price. Your first class with them is free and is a good introduction on the movements and dialogue they use during class. They have an app you can easily download to sign up for classes and create your profile, which is convenient.

The mixture of an outstanding staff, an amazing workout, and an easy sign up, is all the more reason to checkout this studio!

I absolutely love this place. I am a little pudgy and have some physical limitations. They are great about helping me make modifications so that I still get a great, challenging workout without injuring myself. The staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive. The class sizes are small- maybe 10 ish so it's not overwhelming at all. My only wish is that they were closer to my house so I could go more often!

The people are kind and encouraging. The classes are difficult but meaningful. And they are less expensive than many other small group fitness classes. Having a fat body, I never feel judged or or singled out, and I consistently feel pushed appropriately.
