Pure Barre

Fantastic experience: I took the beginning intro class and it was super fun! We exercised many muscle groups including shoulders, glutes, etc. I highly recommend if you’re looking for something fun and unique to add to your routine!

Fantastic experience: I had a hard time finding a studio in Addison that really cares about each person’s needs. I’m glad I found this studio with Ashlyn as the instructor! From my very first class when I told her I was recovering from a delicate surgery, she’s always kept an eye on me and made sure I’m doing okay. I appreciate how she remembers I’m in recovery mode and understands my body reacts differently. It makes me feel supported and safe.

Fantastic experience: I love the total body workouts that I get at Pure Barre Addison !! The instructors are so helpful and motivating. I also love the positive vibes of the community of women that I have met there !!

Fantastic experience: I joined Pure Barre Addison after seeing ads for the studio on Instagram. I’d been looking for a new exercise class or group to join and had never done barre before, so i was eager to try it out! I’m very glad I did. I now love barre! The workouts are full body and challenging for both strength and flexibility but low impact. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and a pleasant place to walk into. The instructors provide a variety of classes to try. There’s the classic barre, but they also offer a class that incorporates more cardio, one that adds more weight and strength training, and one for stretching and flexibility. Each one is great and I appreciate the variety so things don’t get repetitive. The instructors are energetic, engaging, and are great at explaining the movements and demonstrating for the class. I really appreciate when they will help adjust your form during the workout. You can tell the staff is committed to cultivating a welcoming and supportive community. They do socials, bring a date to class events, etc. I’d 100% recommend someone try it out if they’re looking for something fun or new!

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of the workouts & the intensity. Great studio!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Pure Barre! It has transformed my body and I love all the instructors!

Negative experience: I was initially apprehensive about trying Pure Barre Addison after noticing several recent one-star reviews. However, when I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Nicole, who assured me that Elysia, the instructor, was experienced and had been teaching for years. Encouraged by her words, I decided to give the class a chance. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had hoped for. Having previously attended a Pure Barre class at the Richardson location, I had high expectations. That class was engaging, well-structured, and led by an instructor who provided clear demonstrations, corrections, and encouragement. The only reason I hadn’t returned was due to distance, so I was excited to find the Addison location closer to home. This class, however, was a stark contrast. With only two participants—myself, a beginner, and a woman who had been doing Pure Barre for over 10 years—it should have been an ideal opportunity for a more personalized, supportive session. Instead, I felt largely ignored. Elysia mumbled instructions, often failing to demonstrate exercises, leaving me to watch and mimic the other participant as best I could. Even when she did correct my form, it felt like an inconvenience to her rather than a genuine effort to help. Most of the time, she stood by the stereo, turned away from the class, calling out moves without ensuring I understood what to do. The role of an instructor is to guide, support, and create an inclusive atmosphere that encourages participants to return. While I understand that instructors can’t give constant one-on-one attention, it was evident that Elysia had no interest in making me feel welcome or setting me up for success. When I voiced my concerns at the end of class, she was dismissive, responding with a smirk and a passive-aggressive, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” It was clear she had no regard for my experience. What solidified my feelings was when the other participant approached me afterward and confirmed she had noticed the same dismissive and unprofessional behavior. She even thanked me for speaking up, noting that something felt completely off. Nicole, in contrast, was kind and encouraged me to try a different class with another instructor, which I appreciated. The most unsettling part of this experience is that I left questioning whether this treatment was due to race. While I can’t say for certain, Elysia’s passive-aggressive behavior and complete lack of effort to support me made it feel that way. In an industry built on inclusivity, community, and wellness, such behavior is unacceptable. It also explains why this location appears to have low attendance and multiple negative reviews describing similar experiences. A single bad instructor can severely damage a studio’s reputation, and unfortunately, Elysia’s attitude reflects poorly on Pure Barre as a whole. I truly wanted to love this location, but after such a distasteful experience, I cannot recommend it to others.

Negative experience: I’ll be honest , unfortunately this was the most disappointing workout class I’ve ever attended. I’ve been trying to find a workout class/ something I could really commit to for my health and wellness so I tried their free class and I am glad it was free. All of it was just uncomfortable for me. The room for me is too small. I’m 5 feet 11 and some of the workouts I cannot even do because no matter what angle I turned, I would be hitting somebody else. I did not feel that the instructor was beginner, friendly or engaging enough at all. There’s a lot of beginners in this class and majority of the room looked absolutely lost and confused and I just don’t feel like she was interacting with people well enough or showing the workouts to where we can clearly understand and see. Half of the time I was really lost. Overall disappointed. When I left my first Pilates class I felt so comfortable, I felt seen and I absolutely enjoyed my experience. Everyone has different preferences, but this was just not it. I could barely even understand her on the microphone on top of her telling us to do things mid workout not showing us .. staff has pretty low energy as well. Not at all what I was expecting . Overall highly disappointed. Would not recommend to anyone personally.

Negative experience: All of my favorite instructors are gone after the new ownership, so I had to switch to a different location. It’s really sad to see a studio I loved go downhill.

Fantastic experience: Love the positive energy from HC and her team!! They’re really working hard to make us feel at home and have a great workout experience.

Fantastic experience: Joining Pure Barre Addison has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! From the moment I walked in, I felt like a part of a welcoming and supportive workout community. The teachers here are truly exceptional—each one brings incredible energy, expertise, and encouragement to every class. I've gained more strength than I ever thought possible, and it's all thanks to their dedication and the thoughtfully designed workouts that challenge me in the best way. If you're looking for a place that not only helps you achieve your fitness goals but also makes you feel like you're part of something special, Pure Barre Addition is it! I can't recommend it enough—come join this amazing community, make new friends and see the results for yourself!

Fantastic experience: This studio is a gem! The owner is exceptionally kind and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The instructors have all been amazing—skilled, encouraging, and great at tailoring workouts to various fitness levels. The studio itself is super clean and cute too, which is a plus! The workouts are both effective and challenging but also really fun and enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-notch barre experience in a fun setting, this studio is definitely worth checking out!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Pure Barre Addison! The entire team was supportive and made me feel right at home for my first class. The workout was both challenging and enjoyable, with clear instructions and helpful modifications. I’m definitely looking forward to my next class!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about this studio!! The workout always leaves me feeling so great! And the atmosphere makes this place feel like home! You can tell the staff truly cares about their members and the energy is unmatched!!

Positive experience: The workout itself is highly effective and helped me recover and build strength after abdominal surgery. However, the experience really depends on the instructor. Some of them favor overly complicated positions that do not make the workout enjoyable, while others are energetic and offer multiple options for each section. On top of that, the music is so loud that it causes a headache and prevents you from hearing more than 20% of what the instructor is trying to yell over top of it. This adds to making the experience frustrating. Not sure why they feel the need to blast music that loud. At my last class, I told the instructor I could not hear what she was saying, but she wouldn't adjust the volume?

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre is a family not just a workout studio!! As a teenager being able to work my body in a safe and secure environment has only brought up my self esteem. The support and community here is unmatched!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes here since May of 2023 and I love it! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the people I work out with are great! Friday evening Align is the best way to start the weekend!

Fantastic experience: Always a fantastic workout that makes my body and soul happy! The different formats provide excellent variety with different focuses and keep you coming back for more. The instructors are awesome and always bring the energy - their attentiveness to clients' form and technique is very helpful. Barre is right next to pilates for my favorite low-impact workout.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor and great workout

Negative experience: What a disappointment. I was a member of this studio for seven years. Recently the relatively new owner, Helen, made a poor and hugely consequential staffing decision. Within a week, 75% of the staff resigned and within a month, I would estimate 50+ clients cancelled their membership. Helen's inability to understand her community is a red flag. Pure Barre is a great workout - I recommend visiting one of the several nearby studios, as I have since done.

Negative experience: New ownership has negatively impacted the culture and experience.

Fantastic experience: Great workout with a welcoming atmosphere. Hard to find both these days!

Negative experience: As a Pure Barre fanatic for the last 4 years it hurts to see this studio devastated by new ownership. Poor leadership decisions led to the incredible instructors leaving and going to other studios. This community was so strong and supportive and now we have all been forced to find other studios or different workouts. Hopefully something will be done and the Pure Barre Addison community can come back to what it was prior to current ownership!

Negative experience: Pure Barre Addison is a tragic example of how new ownership can destroy the culture and membership experience. I never dreamed after 5 years of membership, that I would be leaving a studio that I was truly passionate about. A year ago, my review would have been 5 stars, but today, I cannot in good faith recommend this studio under its current ownership. However, I love the Pure Barre concept and will be joining another studio.

Fantastic experience: I've been to many different Pure Barre locations over the years, and this studio has been one of my favorites! You can tell the owner really cares about her clients. While recovering from an injury, she took the time to make sure I had any modifications I would need for class to make it the most effective. I love this studio!!

Positive experience: A nice workout for sure. Not the most friendly bunch. I truly enjoy the workout. A simple hello when you walk in would be a start to simply building a welcoming atmosphere. At the end of the day, one could get a work out in many ways, it might be helpful in securing clients who enjoy both the work out and the community.

Negative experience: Many years ago I posted a positive review of PBA, and I meant every word. But that was before the new owner took over and the community fell apart. It breaks my heart to rate PBA one star, but I want any new client to have the full story before signing on. All of the teachers that inspired me to keep showing up for 8.5 years have quit and many of us long term clients followed. It’s just not the same place anymore.

Negative experience: Pure Barre Addison was my home away from home. The place I could go at the end of my day where there were woman that would encourage and support me. It was not just a workout studio. A year ago ownership of the studio changed. At first everything was status quo. Two weeks ago the new owner fired the general manager and subsequently the entire teaching staff resigned. It is with a heavy heart that I had to cancel my membership after 5 years. I would not recommend this studio.

Negative experience: As a long-time member who deeply values the Pure Barre workout, it pains me to express my concerns about the recent transformations. The shift in ownership and management has unfortunately resulted in the departure of many beloved and experienced teachers. Their absence has been keenly felt, and it has notably altered the dynamic of the community we once cherished. The strong sense of camaraderie and the genuine friendships that were the essence of Pure Barre Addison have been affected by these changes. While I remain devoted to the effectiveness of the Pure Barre workout itself, the shift in the community atmosphere at the Addison studio has left me feeling a sense of loss. The connections that made the studio a second home for me seem to have diminished, and it is with a heavy heart that I recently cancelled my 8.5 year membership.

Fantastic experience: Haven't been here in a while and enjoyed my food.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Pure Barre Addison for a few years now and I absolutely love it!! It's become my moment of self care during the week. All the staff are so friendly and supportive.

Negative experience: The management is unresponsive and has not resolved or even tried to help getting billing and charges resolved. After 3 calls and 4 email exchanges still no resolution and all I am told is the manger is out. Horrible service

Fantastic experience: The instructors take the time to know you personally, they address you by name. The studio has a great vibe, from the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a big smile

Positive experience: Love this place! Instructors are awesome and helpful!

Fantastic experience: This studio is so friendly and welcoming! I loved my first experience here, and came back the very next day. The class was awesome- challenging and high paced, but something all levels could modify for more or less intensity. And the teacher was motivating and so great! I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone! You won’t be disappointed—

Fantastic experience: I started coming here to try to find a place where I felt like I was getting results with lower to no impact on my body, and a place that fit my schedule. Pure Barre Addison has checked all the boxes for me!! Bonus, every instructor is incredible, the owner is amazing, and the community who works out here is so friendly!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Pure Barre and the Addison studio. Never have I felt more supported during a workout class. It is truly the epitome of family...and squad!

Fantastic experience: Best workout and best community. Pure Barre Addison is truly my happy place!

Fantastic experience: The BEST workout and the BEST team at Pure Barre Addison. Spent years wasting money with a gym membership and didn't really get much out of it. When I walked into Pure Barre Addison - I finally felt at home. The team makes you feel like family and the work out is addicting. Everyday you challenge yourself and learn things you never knew you could do - not just physically but mentally as well. I can honestly say when I'm unable to make it to class or something gets in the way of getting to go - I have major FOMO. Love love love Pure Barre Addison!!!

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison will uplift you, challenge you, motivate you, engage you, embrace you, strengthen you, and make you a better you. #purebarreaddison #teamflabuless #pbalove ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is where it’s at! The best workout for me. It pushes my mind and body to go beyond what I think I’m capable of. I am stronger physically and mentally because of PBA. And the encouragement from the classmates and instructors is out of this world!!! Everyone should try it! —Mallory Reyes

Fantastic experience: Thank you Giselle! I am so greatful for the path that set you on opening an Addison franchise of Pure Barre. Outside of all the physical benefits I have reaped from doing Barre, thank you for creating a place of support, encouragement and solidarity. I would not have found "my family" if it were not for you. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Fantastic experience: Love the Pure Barre Addison Studio. Best work out I have ever tried and the instructors are so inviting and personable. Everyone in the studio truly cares about your well being.

Fantastic experience: My first thought when I leave Pure Barre Addison is always “when do I get to come back?” I have never felt that way about a work out before PBA. The owner and staff are truly amazing and their positive vibes set the tone for a one of a kind workout and fabulous community of clients. It is challenging, but there is no judgment, only support to reach your goals. I love walking out of each class stronger than when I started. Seriously, try it out! You won’t regret it. And you might even make some new friends

Fantastic experience: PURE BARRE ADDISON is my happy place! Always a challenging workout, supportive community, and tons of happiness in this studio. ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: PBA has dedicated teachers and a wonderful staff to help you perfect your technique and accomplish your workout goals.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is not only a place to get a fantastic workout, the staff and owner genuinely care about their clients and want to help them accomplish their goals. I have been to other PB locations and have gotten a good workout, however the staff here is what keeps me coming back to the Addison location.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is an amazing studio. Great staff, supportive community, and instructors that actually take the time to listen and help. Retail is always on point.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison has the most friendly and encouraging staff. Each work out is a new challenge and I look forward to feeling the burn and shake.

Fantastic experience: I love working out at Pure Barre Addison. I have seen such a change in my core strength since I began. The staff is amazing, so welcoming and positive. They make everyone feel like they belong.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is the best!!! I love the challenging Pure Barre work out, but the Addison studio stands out with their motivating teachers and wonderful community of clients!! (not to mention the fabulous retail - leggings for days!) PBA is conveniently located off the Tollway + Beltline, making it easy to reach from anywhere in the Dallas area. See you at the barre!

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is the best workout I have ever done!! I love that each class is unique and every instructor provides an excellent class. The staff is positive, encouraging, and helpful. I highly recommend that you try PBA! The community here is the best and I look forward to working out each day!! ❤

Negative experience: The effectiveness of the workout is one thing but when the awesome instructors are driven out by new ownership, the core community is lost and what you’re left with is just a workout, that can be achieved at any other fitness studio. It’s hard to see this location lose so many clients and instructors over poor business decisions. I wouldn’t recommend this location, based on its current state. For full awareness: Any 5 star reviews prior to the fall of 2022 are based on different ownership. Any 5 star reviews as of Dec 2023 are likely from clients who don’t go to PBA.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is an amazing studio & community of women! I’ve been taking classes regularly for the past year. I’ve lost 35 pounds & changed the shape of my body, becoming leaner & stronger. The classes have not only changed my body, but have changed my mind as well — I’m able to leave my worries & stress at the door & focus only on the exercise. While classes are challenging, I always leave feeling energized & refreshed. The instructors are engaged & invested in my health & well-being. They know each student by name. The atmosphere is friendly & very inviting, and I look forward to seeing the friends I’ve made! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this studio!

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Addison is an amazing place. It’s more than a workout place - it’s a place to make friends and challenge yourself mentally as well as physically. After 300+ classes, I have been transformed! Better than any workout I’ve tried. A lot of the magic of Pure Barre Addison comes from the amazing owner and teachers! Try it out! You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Clean and comfortable studio. Friendly staff. Great selection of class times. Good price point. Great workout!

Fantastic experience: Very thorough and energetic staff especially with new clients. Very professional and well worth the investment for your health and overall body's stability!
