I just reached my 100 class and am so excited. I love Pure Barre Montclair. I do not have a favorite instructor as I love all the instructors. The classes that I love are Classic, Empower and Define!!

I’m brand new to barre and have done 2 classes so far, both with Colleen. I always feel a bit nervous trying out a new class / studio because you don’t know the ins-and-outs yet, but Colleen was so warm and welcoming she made me feel very comfortable! It takes some getting used to the cadence of class, but as long as you can attentively listen to the instructor’s cues you’ll be able to follow along just fine. It’s challenging but you can always take breaks without judgement. The studio is super clean as well, and the class times are accommodating with both early morning and evening class options. Safe to say I’m hooked!!

Took a Barre class with Colleen. She was great and the class was fun and also a lot harder than I thought it'd be.

I’ve been to one class and the instructor was great. The second time I was 1 minute late due to driving from work during rush hour to get to the class and the door was already locked. I go to many workout classes usually they give a 5min grace period then lock the door. I found that to be really rude to lock after 1 min especially because it was 6:30pm and montclair never ever has parking and its not like the studio has a parking lot. I’m not going back.

I’ve been going to Pure Barre for years and I love everything about it! The classes are challenging but accessible with great guidance from the instructors. It’s a great workout every time. Everyone is so encouraging and friendly. It really feels like a community in there! (Also, it’s super clean!)

In the state for work and this is next to my hotel. Called several times now answer and no voicemails. Everyday this week when I've walked by shop has been open maybe twice. Just walked by today at 415 to see if I could buy the hoodie in the window since my pure barres don't have and of course its closed again. Google and the website says closes at 630pm. But they just close whenever apparently.

Update: The store reached out to me and has offered to mail me the hoodie. The location is only open for class times so if they only have 2 classes a day that's all they're open regardless of Google and website hour times.

I signed up for a free trial class. Showed up 15 minutes early, per the confirmation email. Doors were locked, so I was outside in the freezing rain with a few others. A previous class ended, and that’s when the doors were unlocked to let us in, 5 minutes before the class start time. The instructor told us they’d sent a text out with a cancellation notification. Never got that text. The instructor kept referring to us as “you girls.” “We texted you girls, but you didn’t respond.” I never got that text, but rather had a specific person texting me to confirm my registration, while asking me questions about my fitness goals, mentioning she was excited to work with me. I just walked out. The instructor seemed to have an intention to re-register us for another class, but why would I do that when you greet me with a bunch of excuses, accusing me of not responding to cancellation texts that I never received, rather than apologizing for the miscommunication? No thank you.

My 32 year old daughter persuaded me to try Pure Barre in Montclair. Frankly, I was impressed . They run a tight ship. My daughter ,has transformed herself . Personally , I only worked with Renee ,and she is a Rockstar! If your looking for a comprehensive workout with the goal of getting into the best shape of your life, then i recommend without reservations Pure Barre and Renee especially.

Horrible experience. These people have no problem getting your money for membership but to cancel become rude, unresponsive and threaten to send to collections for non payment without any explanation. I have been to other Pure Barre’s and am completely disappointed and disgusted with how I have been treated.

I’m not one to typically leave reviews, however, this is an exception. I got to class and was immediately looked up and down by the front desk attendant. She was distinctly unfriendly and curt. I forgot to add my emergency contact in the intake form and made a big point of telling me I “didn’t even” finish the form….i just didn’t see it.

I’m a fitness instructor myself, I understand how busy it can be with people coming in and taking in new client forms. At the same time there’s no need to be snippy and rude. The overall vibe from the staff was very negative. I don’t think anyone said hello to me, the front desk attendant just seemed irritated with me.

I also didn’t see the section about needing socks on ClassPass. Previous bar classes I’ve been to didn’t require special socks. I did think it was unnecessary for me to be called out loudly in front of other class goers for not realizing this. She offered me to buy a $20 pair of socks , however, at that point, I didn’t think it would be wise to stay given how unpleasant the whole experience had been so far.

Definitely seems like the sort of place where you have to have a special type of aesthetic to fit in.

Had the worst experience ever and didn’t even take the class!! Taylor G had to be the most unprofessional person I’ve ever seen. I got to my FIRST class at 6:59 am, however, since there wasn’t any parking had to go around the block, look for parking, and run to the class. It started at 7:00am and I got there at 7:03 am on the dot. This woman stared at me, came out the class to look at the time and walked back in the class and didn’t open the doors. How’s that for a first time experience??? I would NEVER recommend anyone go to this location, they will let you stand in the freezing cold without any explanation as to why they wouldn’t open the doors. She deserves to have HR called on her for the absolute misconduct. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism from an institution ever in my life. They won’t get a single dollar, take yourselves to the bar method instead! Right down the block and a way better experience :) 🤭

I liked my first class here and was actually planning on joining when my Classpass expired. Unfortunately the girl at the front desk soured my experience. I was 3 min late, and I was aware of the late policy when I arrived, so I really wasn't expecting to be let into class, but I was hoping they might let me in. The woman at the front desk was so rude when turning me away. She really just needs to be properly trained on how to handle this situation gracefully and kindly. I take no issue with the policy itself, but the lack of customer service was upsetting. I'm going to join the other barre studio up the street instead.

1 minute grace period is crazy especially in a location like Montclair where parking can be extremely difficult and your studio doesnt have its own parking. Cant imagine buying a monthly membership, being 2 minutes late and having the door locked on you. I understand being on time is important but 1 minute is insane. Lost a customer

Intense and a thorough workout. Class size is too big for the instructor to give you particular attention, and because of this I felt like it was a livestream video, just that I had to pay 18$ for a pair of socks (required and price is not transparent) and parking just to be in a room that a little too small for a class that large (and sweaty).

I had done Barre before years ago and decided to take a class with my boyfriend who came to NJ for a visit. The instructor, Wendy was nice to me but not kind to my body. My boyfriend and I struggled but one thing I really appreciated was the instructor was good about correcting your form. That is so important to me a newbie as I don’t want to hurt myself trying a new exercise. The downside of her correcting my form was, what I thought was an “easy” move that didn’t make my body tremble with muscle fatigue turned out to be an actual move that made my body tremble and burn. Great workout and great ladies! I can’t wait to go again!!

I signed up for a trial class online. I was surprised, unprepared and unhappy when, upon arrival, I was told that I needed to buy $16 SOCKS in order to take part in the class (I was wearing regular socks and sneakers). I felt like it was totally unnecessary and purely a money grab. The class was ok and the instructor was kind but for this reason and all of the incessant calls and guilt ridden texts that were sent to me after the class to ensure that I paid for the totally unnecessary socks, I will not be returning to or recommending this studio.

I was doing a trial class today...never attended to these type of class or this place. Class started at 1045am, and because of a construction traffic on Bloomfield Avenue and parking I got there at 1046am. I stood outside knocking on the door and calling for like 5 minutes. Finally, the instructor comes to the door just to tell me I am late with an attitude. I tried to explain but she just kept saying class started at 1045am. When I go to a place to workout I make it my home, and the people there become my family. Obviously, this place is not a place of that nature. For future, you should explain that the doors are locked and that is very time managed. You guys have no idea what I went through to make it there to just leave because of the lack of welcoming at this place. I was considering becoming a monthly member, you lost a customer.

Everyone here are friendly and sooo helpful! Wendy and Chrisel are welcoming and they really get to know their clients. In addition, my favorite teachers (Jenna, Kaitlin, Lisa, and Renee) are the best! They push and challenge their students, while guiding you to perfect your form. I definitely enjoy coming in for all the Barre workouts!

I have been going to barre every single week (multiple times) since September 2017. When I graduated from college and moved home to Montclair I was worried I wouldn't find another studio that I loved...I did a little "barre hopping" around town and finally landed here and I am so glad I did! Pure Barre Montclair has been an amazing experience since I started going in June 2018.
The instructors are upbeat and motivating. The workouts are great - especially the ab workouts!!! I always feel strong, relaxed and happy after a 50 min class. I also love that they offer "pure barre empower" which is a little more upbeat than the "pure barre classic" it's nice to switch it up sometimes.
You don't have to be a good dancer (trust me haha) or anything along those lines to do well and benefit from these amazing, sculpting workouts. Everyone who knows me know that I swear by barre!

I love this place!! The classes are small, there are women of all shapes, sizes, ages ethnicities and no feel of competition......the instructors are helpful, if you need to modify something, they will help you......the instructors and owners are so nice and practically remember your name from day one!! The only negative thing I could say is sometimes the music is to loud, however I'm sensitive to noise.

I've been going to Pure Barre Montclair for a month now! Wendy and Chrissel have an amazing studio and the instructors get to know all of their members! Each one has a unique teaching method and skills, so each class is never the same. I just finished my intro month and I'm already seeing results. To top it all off, they run great specials that make it affordable and keep me looking forward to every class.

Awesome class. Great staff. Love, love love PURE BARRE. Pure Barre is not only helping me to become a stronger dancer but a stronger person overall. As soon as I feel like giving up, I hear the instructor say - "You are stronger than you think!" My body feels and looks amazing.
