Pure Barre

Negative experience: As a business owner myself, I find this studio has some extremely unethical practices. The business offers barre exercises classes, however they require that you purchase a specific sock in order to attend their classes, which is fine. However, they do not sell these socks at anywhere near a net even cost. The mark up on these socks is exorbitantly high, about 29$ after taxes for one pair of socks. With other ranging to near 40$ for one pair of socks. Considering they are in the business of exercise classes, attending their classes should be made more accessible and inclusive to folks at every possible instance. This is pure greed and very narrow-minded.

Fantastic experience: Great fun workouts! All instructors are fantastic! A good variety for a total body workout.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful studio and Gisella was an amazing teacher that day!

Negative experience: Lots of rules and unnecessary costs- requires grip socks it’s a safety concern apparently. And charges $30 if you forget.And if you are 1 min late forget it, can’t attend. These rules aren’t created based on principle. For that I will no longer attend any friends are also avoiding it too.

Fantastic experience: This studio is great, I have been going for almost a year now. They have a great variety of challenging classes and all the teachers are super friendly and supportive. The exercises, while very challenging have different variations so it suits various levels of fitness. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: First class was amazing!!! Annika was an incredible instructor - clear direction, great music, challenging, and super motivating. Will definitely be back when I’m visiting the city!

Fantastic experience: I love it here! Staff are truly talented, caring and supportive. Highly recommended for everyone to try!

Negative experience: Horrible customer service. I asked to cancel my membership and they still charged me for 2 months. I subscribed to their services under the promise that I was getting a month of free classes but that never happened, i still got charged. And I've been going every day to try to pay and get this over with and they NEVER have anyone on the front desk. You're supposed to go the in the few minutes in between classes. Sure, it's not like I don't have a job or other things to do...HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Pure Barre. The workouts are challenging and target the areas that are of personal concern yet they are easy to follow. In the three months I've been working out at Pure Barre I've really seen results. However, the best part of Pure Barre are the people. A great group of really caring people.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to PB for a few years. The workouts are always challenging, great atmosphere, the instructors are incredibly supportive and I feel like I am part of a community. I fractured my ankle a few months ago and was given lots of modifications and personalized help. Thank you !

Fantastic experience: Huge shoutout to Hanna and Reyanna for being incredible PB teachers. I love my barre classes always but having a motivational instructor makes all the difference. Appreciate you both for always encouraging me to “embrace the shake” and helping improve my form the get the absolute most out of my workouts.

Fantastic experience: Love Pure Barre! Classes and teachers are amazing

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful to be a part of such an uplifting community filled with supportive instructors. A fulfilling, challenging, and efficient workout is always guaranteed - no matter your fitness level! Love the structure of the classes and love the people!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking classes at Pure Barre Kitsilano for over 6 months now, and I couldn’t be happier! The instructors and staff are super caring and supportive. They offer a variety of classes; the instructors offer modifications and clear cues to support everyone and the music they play is just perfect.

Fantastic experience: Love this studio and the different classes they offer. The different time slots allow for a lot of schedule flexibility.

Fantastic experience: I love my workouts at Pure Barre Kits! I always feel like I'm getting a really intense workout in during a short period of time which is really important to me as a working mom. I also really like the supportive atmosphere and modifications and I feel like I've been getting a lot stronger since I joined.

Fantastic experience: It was my first ever Barre class. The class was challenging :) Very clean facility! The staff and instructors were very friendly and attentive. Centrally located in the middle of Kits.

Fantastic experience: Amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I love pure barre in kits! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Fun and challenging classes. Great community atmosphere (much needed and appreciated during these covid times). Above and beyond covid protocols for a safe environment! Thank you team Pure Barre!

Fantastic experience: Love this studio. The staff and instructors have been very friendly and made the studio feel very welcoming for a newcomer. The workout is tough every time but always rewarding when you finish.

Positive experience: Great location. Incredibly friendly, helpful staff. Classes are never overbooked. The carpet flooring in the exercise room is not my favorite, but the space is clean and private.

Fantastic experience: I am IN LOVE with Purre Barre! The teachers are extremely approachable and friendly, offer modifications and are very helpful in answering questions. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun, and you can make the workout exactly what you want it to be.

Positive experience: Class times are frequent and variable enough fit 5/7 days in my introductory week at the Kitsilano Studio easily. Classes are challenging but pass quickly. At the end of the week (and a few days of tender abs) I already feel increased strength and and see a difference in my posture. I'll be back for more to get into the proper tuck position with the help of the friendly instructors.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Kitsilano is amazing. The classes are challenging but modifications can be made to fit anyone’s needs. The staff are super welcoming and happy to help.

Fantastic experience: Great workout that engages the whole body. Had Stephanie today who is attentive, went at a steady pace, and clear with instructions -- which is much appreciated for a newbie like me.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at PureBarre in Kitsilano. Instructors emphasize technique, modifications for all fitness levels and always have great playlists. Tried both Classic and Empower classes for a nice mix. Excited to try the newest PureBarre class - Reform, next!

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout, the instructors are really knowledgeble. I would recommend to all my friends.

Fantastic experience: Best workout I've tried hands down! Its low impact with great music and high energy from the instructor, so you don't feel like you are going to die while working out for 50 minutes! Time passes by fairly quickly and I am sure it's because I enjoy it so much!

Fantastic experience: Love coming to Pure Barre in Kits! The instructors are friendly & fun and you will get a great workout!

Fantastic experience: I am new to barre and have been loving it! I've been several times now with a different instructor each time. I am so impressed with all of them! Every class has been different and the instructors take the time to make sure your form is correct for each exercise. Love the music, the vibe, and the results so far! Would highly recommend giving it a try!

Positive experience: Excellent Studio! A great work out with very friendly and professional instructors!

Fantastic experience: I always go to a pure barre class when I want a fun yet tough workout! The music is fun and time always manages to fly. One problem is that there aren't showers/an area to fix yourself up after class is done. Overall, I always recommend it to all my friends!

Fantastic experience: Great place, great trainers. Trainers are very attentive, take the time to correct your posture. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my intro week at Pure Barre! The class was fun and all the instructors and other staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back soon.

Positive experience: Fast-paced workout using tiny, pilates-like movements to work your core, glutes, arms and abs. Good music and attentive instructors!

Fantastic experience: When I first went on the studio's website, I must admit I was somewhat skeptical of their claim of if I were to come to class three times a week for a month, my body would transform. Two weeks in, and I can already see my posture and alignment has significantly improved. The former, coupled with the increase of my range of motion, has increased my performance in the sports I love to compete and obsess over. Being a guy in Barre class was intimidating at first, but the instructors I've had have all made me feel so welcome and a part of the Pure Barre family - kudos!

Positive experience: I have recently been coming here for over a month now. Socks are mandatory in the studio. PROS: • Convenient location • Total body workout • Friendly service • Clean studio • Good sound system • Exercise equipment provided • Complimentary Sage products in the washroom for use CONS: • Carpet in studio (causes rug burn on the palms at times!) • They only offer two types of classes (classic and power). I usually attend the weekday classes after 5pm and they only offer the “classic” classes between Mon-Thurs evenings. I would love if they could throw a power class into one of the Mon-Thurs evening time slots. • Not much variety within classes themselves. It’s the same exercise routine every class – I would love if they could switch things up a bit. Some of the cues that the instructors provide seem robotic and you can tell they are just going through the same motions every class.

Fantastic experience: Classes are challenging, fun and always different, the studio is well designed and clean, and the instructors are always encouraging and enthusiastic.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre Kitsilano was my first barre class in over 3 years, and has reminded me of why I enjoyed it so much previously. As someone relatively new to working out again, I've found all of the instructors very approachable and encouraging! I leave every class feeling like I've had a great work out, and can already feel a difference in my energy level and body. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really good full body workout! The structure of the class is fun and flies by quickly.

Fantastic experience: Tastefully decorated environment, cool and clean. The staff is very friendly and professional. The instructors are excellent, keeping me on my toes, not one class ever feels like a repeat. Super challenging work out, yet kind and not intimidating at all.

Fantastic experience: I fell in love with the studio the moment I walked in. The decor, the friendly staff, and the ambience were all so calming and inviting. The classes were always amazing whole-body workouts for all the small muscles that I don't typically get to strengthen in the gym!

Positive experience: I have only had positive experiences coming to Pure Barre in Kits. The classes fly by, and the instructors are always very knowledgeable, motivating and take the extra time to make adjustments so you get the maximum benefits.

Fantastic experience: Great studio atmosphere with dynamic classes and very helpful instructors. Barre classes are a great addition to my workout routine and I look forward to attending Pure Barre regularly.

Fantastic experience: I have tried both the pure barre classic and the pure empower classes at Kits. The workouts are challenging and dynamic, particularly the empower class but you are guided through the moves by the excellent instructors. Studio is bright and clean, really good class times too.

Fantastic experience: Great studio, fantastic instructors. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great studio, always friendly and clean with thoughtful extras in the washrooms. I always take the 6 or 7 pm class and it is my absolute favorite!

Fantastic experience: I’m brand new to barre and the staff here have been super friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is very relaxed. Sometimes speciality workout classes can be intimidating for newbies but I didn’t feel that at all. Thanks Pure Barre Kits for being so welcoming!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the Kitsilano studio for the one week trial - love it!! Can't say enough good things.. Excellent workouts and amazing friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Okay. I'm a guy. And I was hesitant to try Barre at Pure Barre. But my wife wanted me to do it with her and I'm glad she did! Moves made easy to follow from the experienced instructors. They're tough to do but provide good results. Only a couple classes in and my posture is noticeably better and I feel much stronger. Studio and equipment is clean, signing up is easy and quick, deals and pricing is great, and staff are super friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I'm a huge fan of Pure Barre. The women that work at the studio are friendly, informed, and really supportive of the attendees. The studio is clean and beautifully kept. The class times range from 6am to later in the evening, which is perfect for those trying to squeeze in a class before work. The classes themselves are challenging (I want to lie down in every single class), but the instructors make sure everyone in the class is comfortable and doing all the movements correctly. The movements change from class to class, which keeps the level of engagement up for repeat visitors. My only minor gripe would be the music - I heard the same playlist for a month straight and I had Ariana Grande in my head for a full two weeks. Different playlists would be awesome! Otherwise it's a great workout if you want to have crazy flexibility and control.

Fantastic experience: I started working out here a couple weeks ago, and I love it already! The studio is so clean and organized! The staff are all so lovely and helpful! And the classes are super challenging but fun and motivating!

Fantastic experience: Always a great work out! Fun and challenging!

Fantastic experience: Tanya and Desiree are both very informative, friendly and helpful in their instructions. Every time I go in, I can expect a good toning and strenthening workout where my legs are shaking towards the end. The kitslani studio hosts small classes so you get more attention from instructors. I’m expecting right now and they have been both giving me info on how to modify moves. I also love this is a low impact workout which is amazing for me knees. Highly recommend to all!

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre in Kits is welcoming, upbeat and fun. I find the workout really challenging but the people and community keep me coming back. I definitely recommend trying it out!

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite workout studios in Vancouver! I definitely noticed a difference after doing a couple weeks of classes.

Fantastic experience: Great studio and a fantastic workout! Instructors are professional and motivating!

Fantastic experience: I decided to get back into shape having ignored strength & stretch aspects of my workouts for a longtime. I had training in ballet into my 20s and been a fitness trainer in my 30s and 40s. In my late 50s, I was not sure if I could handle the intensity of classes and very self conscious of how out of shape I was and that most clients were my children's age! I was delighted by the competence and attention to detail of the instructors, the welcoming and supportive atmosphere of this gem of a studio. The workouts are targeted, fast paced, and very effective. If you make sure to modify your needs and not over do it, you will be hooked. Its a morning ritual now & I love it.

Fantastic experience: Really love the pace of these classes, and the teachers are really considerate and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Great studio, wonderful teachers and a tough workout every time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great complement to my regular fitness routine. Really lets me know which muscles I am neglecting. I like the 50min class format; it is intense without a lot of standing around so you get a good workout in a short time. The studio is well lit, clean and spacious. Especially like that the equipment balls, mats, weights are really clean and well taken care. Special touch is having the equipment set up and taken away by attentive staff member so you can continue to focus on your workout. Staff always welcoming and look happy to see you. Favourite instructors Amy and Ellie.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and encouraging instructors! I always feel challenged and always feel good about myself after the class!

Fantastic experience: Excellent class with Jan - very positive and challenging. Great addition to cardio to stay strong and flexible and add some core work.

Fantastic experience: Every class is different and it might even get harder each time— I think that means I’m doing it right!!

Fantastic experience: Great to meet Tanya and the friendly team at Pure Barre. Fantastic location in the heart of Kitsilano. Check out the immaculate facilities through the Goolge Maps Virtual Tour now LIVE! See you soon!

Fantastic experience: These classes are so challenging and dynamic. I have been about 5 or 6 times and every class has been different from the last. Also the studio is welcoming and clean. The instructors have all been very helpful, encouraging and motivating. Loving it!

Fantastic experience: The classes at pure barre in kits are always changing and always motivating! Fast paced, sweaty, good music and you will definitely be sore the next day! I definitely recommmend them :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing workouts, great instructors, you can really feel it in every area of your body!

Fantastic experience: I am loving Pure Barre right now! What a great way to get back into a healthy workout routine! The whole team at the Kits location is amazing. It was so easy to sign up and get started, and the schedule makes it easy for me to come whenever works for me. I feel very comfortable in class (even when I am struggling to keep up). I will be recommending this studio to all of my friends. Thanks Pure Barre Kits!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly instructors and a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Great class to strengthen and tone your body!

Fantastic experience: I've been trying Pure Barre on and off for the last few months, but every time I go, I wonder why I'm not there more often! It is such a great workout and I know it's hitting different spots then I normally do, so it always feels good. I've tried a few of the instructors and while they all have their own style, they are always there to support you, helping you find the right position and getting the most out of your workout. I highly recommend Pure Barre on 4th!

Positive experience: Great classes! Difficult but rewarding. Great for toning. You should try a class!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Pure Barre because I recently got class pass, and I love it! Everyone is very friendly and accommodating, and I like how the class is broken up into a warm up, then exercises by body part, then cool down. I definitely feel like I get a light sweat on (because it's not super cardio intense) and then afterwards, my arms and legs feel like jello!

Fantastic experience: Every class I've been to has been awesome: the instructors, cleanliness of the place (and the bathroom has Saje products for people to use), and equipment. Plus, they always have great deals and offers to give you the best value for your money when it comes to classes. Highly recommend trying if you haven't already with Pure Barre!

Fantastic experience: I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall strength and stamina from Barre classes - I find the instructors are very motivating to get me through the hour and I always feel amazing after. I absolutely love going and especially love how it has transformed my body.

Fantastic experience: The short but intense full body workouts are a perfect addition to staying active every day. I feel so strong and accomplished after a barre class!

Fantastic experience: I love going to Pure Barre in Kits, the studio and facilities are clean and beautiful, and I find the workouts challenging and satisfying!

Fantastic experience: Great teacher, good music, classes are never too crowded

Fantastic experience: A great barre studio! Everyone is lovely and so helpful if you have any questions. Plus, the workouts are guaranteed to make you work hard - I ache afterwards every single time.

Fantastic experience: I am still loving the barre classes at this location! Every instructor offers a their own style to each class, yet all are equally challenging. It’s been just over 2 months since I started with this studio, and my core strength has greatly improved, my abs, arms and legs are all lean and strong!! Amazing workout, low impact, with a bit of a sweat, couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend these classes to incorporate into any workout routine!

Fantastic experience: I really like the attention to posture and technique in all the exercises offered by Pure Barre. That minimizes the risks of injury and makes Pure Barre classes suitable for all fitness levels. I also like how trainers adjust exercises for those with special needs, like pregnant ladies or those with prior injuries.

Fantastic experience: With every class, the environment is welcoming, calm, and has everything you need in the bathrooms. The instructors are “master explainers” as they are great at explaining exactly how the workout should be feeling, strengthening, and they give great modifications for injuries and protection awareness. The classes are well paced and upbeat so you feel positive and encouraged to do your best.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre has challenging classes! The instructors are absolutely amazing and the studio is modern and clean.

Fantastic experience: Update. I have now been going to Pure Barre for 5 ish years now. The instructors are so motivating, it has kept me sane during the pandemic and I still LOVE it. I have had many injuries during the last few years and there is always a way for me to modify the workouts. Love pure barre All of the instructors are very helpful, and the staff is friendly. Great workout. Edit**I have been going to Pure Barre for a few months now. I has been really great for me as I have had a hard time finding a workout that would work for me after quite a few injuries. I usually see Nicki, Abby and the owner Tanya. They are always there to make corrections and adjust body positioning. **

Fantastic experience: Fun and challenging workouts! The instructors are awesome - full of energy and good about giving us little corrections and adjustments. And so many class times to choose from

Fantastic experience: Great Classes and instructors. Challenging and encouraging.

Positive experience: Friendly instructors - good workout :)

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre gives you a challenging workout while having fun. Great music, high-energy and knowledgeable instructors. The 50 min class just flies by and I can really feel it the next day, so know it’s working! Beautiful clean studio.

Fantastic experience: I love taking class at Kits! Pure Barre is my favourite workout; I love the flow of the workout, music, and how it challenges me every time. The instructors are very friendly, personable, motivating and really create a sense of community at the studio. Everyone I take class with is also very nice and help to create a supportive atmosphere in which I am pushed to work harder and give the workout all I've got. The studio is a clean space and the merchandise tempts me every time I go :) I always leave feeling sore but refreshed and ready to take on the rest of my day!

Fantastic experience: Clean studio very close to home. Love Katrina and Niki’s classes. Appreciate their attention to detail and how they go around the room adjusting our postures.

Fantastic experience: Nice studio with motivating instructors. Everyone is super friendly and the classes will push you to your limit!

Fantastic experience: I usually do more intense bootcamp-type classes, but this one is a great change of pace while still being super difficult. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This is now my favourite place to go for workouts! Very pleasant environment, staffs are very friendly and welcoming, and the classes are absolutely amazing - work your whole body! What I like about the classes is that the instructors are very attentive and friendly, no matter what level of fitness you're at, you will have a good time here!

Positive experience: I Love Pure Barre in Kits! The staff are always friendly and welcoming; doesn’t feel intimidating like some fitness studios do. I appreciate that the instructor will correct your form if needed. Great burn and the class flies by!

Fantastic experience: Love pure barre. Instructors and desk staff are very welcoming and accommodating to new students. Each class is different but you are sure to get a full body work out! So fun!

Fantastic experience: Great workout! This is targeting all muscles, even those you didn't know exist... It is a great workout for all fitness levels but I would say that fit women can benefit even more. You will build more muscle and increase your daily burn. All teachers that I have experienced are great and they all pay close attention to your form and making sure you get the most out of each exercise. Definitely worth trying!

Fantastic experience: Love Pure Barre and this studio in particular for a comprehensive body workout. I always take a class here whenever I am in Vancouver visiting family. Friendly staff and instructiors and a great variety of exercises - I never repeated the same routine yet after 5 classes.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a few barre studios but Pure Barre is by far my fav still! Their instructors are great (special shoutout to Katrina and Niki!); always a welcoming atmosphere and super helpful with staying behind to answer questions.

Fantastic experience: Pure Barre has become my favorite go-to workout. It’s always challenging and each instructor offers variety! It really targets and tones and keeps me long and lean and I leave stronger each class! There are also tonnes of class times to fit my busy schedule! Best barre studio I’ve tried in Vancouver.
