Pure Barre Bethesda is my top workout studio of choice in Bethesda. Everyone from the barretenders to the instructors make you feel so welcome! Clients get to know each other and some even become friends! PBB is like a family (not a ‘cult’ like some places in the area). People come out of class smiling and chatting with each other and it’s just al positive vibes. Also, this isn’t a workout just for ‘young’ women - there are lots of 50+ women who have taken over 250 classes and are dedicated clients!Bri is an AMAZING studio owner/manager who clearly cares about her employees and clients, she’s also a top-notch instructor!The workout itself is tough - but in a results driven way. Not going to lie, I hated my first class, but I always recommend people taking at least 2-3 classes. I personally noticed a difference in my body after about 5 classes (it’s the PERFECT workout for toning your body) and ended up taking over 100 classes in about a year and a half.I really can’t say enough good things about PB Bethesda. If you’re hesitant on trying it - JUST GO. Try taking about 2 classes in one week and then decide how you feel about it.***Things to note: if it’s your first time at the studio PLEASE show up 15 mins early because there is a form you need to fill out and the instructors want to chat with you about what to expect in class. Also, REMEMBER to bring SOCKS! (You MUST have socks, although sticky socks are recommended - you’ll understand why after your first class). Other than that - go and have fun!!

Great gym for those who need classes to inspire you to exercise. Facilities are very nice, and classes are great, particularly if looking for variety and a good workout.

While I love the pure barre method for exercise and fitness, and the instructors are competent, I feel the business aspect of this franchise lacked kindness and compassion from the beginning of my experience here, but especially in COVID-19 times. I also feel there needs to be more racial diversity of instructors. There was one nice African American instructor I only saw once or twice there.

Pure Barre left me no choice but to leave a review here. The one star rating has to do with them as neighbors in the complex. I have been going to shop for clothes at the neighboring store for over 15 years. Today, I couldn’t browse because of the noise coming from Pure Barre. They told me that they have previously asked them to turn the music down. I went over to ask them but they lock the doors during class. So then I called and I couldn’t reach a person nor did the system allow me to leave a message. Very friendly, eh?!? Please have more respect for the stores around you who bring in business and foot traffic. Please add some sound proofing.

Pure Barre in Bethesda is super fun and a great workout! The staff and instructors are really positive and encouraging. The classes are dynamic and energizing. I always leave feeling fit and fabulous! Overall, its great workout and highly recommend for all. Im working towards those Michelle Obama arms :)

Pure Barre is both challenging and fun. The teachers are consistently wonderful- they push you but are there to support and correct any issues in your posture or technique. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The Bethesda studio is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend.

What a class! Mel Schwed was a great instructor. Her timing throughout the exercises was smooth and kept me working hard the whole 50 minutes. She spoke with a tone that was encouraging while motivating to work my hardest. During cool downs, her tempo and tone were calming and relaxing. Mel had equal attention for all participants. She was encouraging while helpful with form. Would highly recommend!

Pure Barre in Bethesda is an amazing place if you want to go back in shape. After only 5 lesson I feel better, leaner and toned up! I also appreciate the effort that the instructors take in adjusting your pose, so you can get the best out of the exercise. The only down side is that sometimes the music is too loud and it get difficult to understand the instructions, especially for a non native- English speaker as me.

Pure Barre is one of the most challenging yet rewarding workouts I have ever had the pleasure of doing! I started barre about a month ago and already I see vast improvement and an increase in my strength! The instructors are challenging yet engaging and the exercises are difficult but effective! I cannot recommend this workout highly enough, and if you’re interested Pure Barre Bethesda is the best there is!

Warm and friendly instructors that are very knowledgeable! Nice studio with a variety of barre classes offered. Overall, I have only positive things to say! The convenient parking and parking validation is great too!

I just started here less than a week ago and I’ve already gone 5 times. I’ve never liked working out, but I am hooked! Time flies when you’re in class and you feel motivated to work your hardest. Instructors are so nice and the facility is clean and welcoming.

Great, convenient space right in downtown Bethesda. I tried out a few classes during my free trial week and found the whole experience quite addicting. It’s challenging, but not too challenging. My favorite part how they dim the lights at the end of class, and then turn them completely off. It makes you feel really relaxed and accomplished.

I tried my first Pure Barre class through Class Pass last month and quickly bought an intro monthly membership because I loved it so much. The classes are really challenging and fun. I have two young kids under 8 and havent made working out a priority. In a short time I already feel stronger and have reconnected with my long lost abs. The high energy classes paired with the friendly and encouraging staff are a win-win.

I really enjoy the classes. The workout is intense without leaving you out of breath. After a few classes you get the hang of the class flow and start working on perfecting the moves. The exercises vary in each class, so it continues to be challenging.

I’ve been looking for a great work out class and I finally found it! The work outs can be as challenging or easy as you want it to be, making it perfect for tons of people. As someone with a physical disability but who stays active — I highly recommend Pure Barre!

Fantastic total body work that leaves you feeling invigorated rather than wiped out. Truly effective 50 minute workout. Ive had two babies and pure barre is a major reason I was able to stay healthy during and bounce back afterward.

The absolute best workout experience! The staff are incredibly friendly and amazing teachers! So sad to be leaving in a couple weeks. Will definitely return!

I have been going to Pure Barre for years but I am new to the area and started visiting the Bethesda studio recently. I have been really impressed with the instructors and the facility so far. All of the equipment is new and in good condition, which is a plus. The classes are hard enough to get a work out but not too hard you cant do the moves. I always leave the class feeling accomplished. I am so glad I found this studio!The only downside - if you dont have a package/membership, they dont validate parking. First 30 minutes are free and every 30 minutes after is $2.50. Meters in the area are only 1 hour which cuts it close.

I was skeptical about Barre because Im not really flexible or a dancer. I typically stick to lifting and running but I wanted to try something different and improve my posture. I did feel a little lost my first class but the way my body felt after class was enough to come back again. By the second or third class I was able to follow along well. The instructors are nice and helpful. I like that I dont have to be perfect to feel like I am getting something out of it and everyone else is pretty much on the same page. I will definitely make this a part of my new workout routine.

In my experience as a customer here, I came in expecting a friendly experience. I expected to love to class and overall experience at Pure Barre and come back regularly with my friends. It was easy to sign up for class online, with that being said I was disappointed in Pure Barres lack of kindness made me feel like they dont value me for my loyalty. It made me think that Pure Barre might not have training on customer interactions. Things probably wouldve gone differently for me if they had.

You would never think that small isolated movements could have such a large impact. I leave each class feeling stronger, thinner, and walking taller. All of the instructors I have had are motivating and attentive. They make sure to adjust your form so that you get the most out of each move. They also know just what to say so you hold on to the position for even just a few seconds longer. Can’t wait for my next class

I discovered Pure Barre Bethesda a little over a month ago and I LOVE it! It’s my new favorite work out and I can already see results from their barre classes after 5 classes. The staff are so welcoming and they make the class a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Ive gone to five classes in the last nine days because this studio is so great. The facility is nice and small — feels like a tiny community — and the instructors are knowledgeable, extremely helpful and hands-on, and fun. I paid for a full intro month and cant wait to get into a routine.

Really good work out, very friendly staff. I really like how low-impact the routines are, and also like that they change the moves regularly so it feels familiar but new. Ive been going weekly for a few months and I definitely feel a difference. My body feels stronger and healthier after every class!

Fun but VERY HARD! Im not very athletic but this is a cool workout. The technique is kind of unusual but the teachers are very kind and helpful to fix and correct your posture and positioning. I think you can try a class for free to test it out. Parking is no problem.

The teachers are helpful in helping you exercise the correct way to avoid injury and get the maximum workout. Teachers are always cheerful when I arrive and complimentary at the end. Which is nice! Great place

I really love the atmosphere at Pure Barre Bethesda. Theyre so genuine and friendly. The instructors really push you and help you with your form and really enjoy what they do. Definitely my favorite barre studio option in this area!

As a new comer to barre, I’ve really enjoyed my classes at this studio! While the routine and moves are new & fast paced, the instructors are very encouraging and help correct your form to help you feel confident about your work out. I am already feeling stronger and looking forward to my next class!

Great workout with friendly staff. A mix of Pilates and strength training with fun music and a clean nice studio. I like pure barre because it’s challenging but won’t absolutely wear you out for the day!

You will leave Pure Barre having completed an effective, full body workout in just 50 minutes. The instructors are all very friendly and offer hands-on corrections to ensure that each workout is effective. The best part is no class is the same so you walk into a challenge each time you visit the studio. Its a great way to build strength and tone your body and you will see results after just a few classes.

As a class pass-er I’ve gone to many of the barre classes in the Bethesda area. Each has it’s own unique twist - I love pure barre because I can always count on a great ab workout. The music is also consistently good, which is so necessary when powering through those planks! The studio has a really nice community atmosphere.

Pure Barre is super fun yet challenging. Time flies by so quickly in class and I always look forward to the next class. All the instructors are encouraging, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend this workout to everyone.

I first tried out Pure Barre on ClassPass. I absolutely loved it and have since purchased an unlimited membership. The music is great, the classes fly by (in a good way), and Im always sore the next day. The teachers are wonderful, but I do wish there was a greater emphasis on form corrections. Overall, though I really enjoy the classes and the atmosphere!

I love going to Pure Barre classes. The instructors take the time to learn your name so they can motivate you during class. Time flies by during class and before you know you just got an intense and rewarding workout in. Everyone who works there from the girls manning the front desk to the instructors are all very friendly. I look forward to going to more classes there!

I absolutely love it here! Carla is amazing and makes every class extremely enjoyable. It is well worth the 30 minute drive - FOR SURE!

Loved the energy and flow of the classes. Variety of classes. The instructors are encouraging and helpful . Practicing 3 days/ week I am happy that I see result.

Pure Barre is a challenging yet enjoyable workout! The instructors are incredibly friendly and helpful. I hope to continue going to pure barre classes for years to come.

Pure Barre is the best! Lee and Sarah are wonderful teachers and very motivating. The staff are very considerate and accommodating too! Good parking as well.

I’ve loved the classes at Pure Barre Bethesda. The instructors are careful to listen to each person’s needs, and the studio is spacious and comfortable. It’s a great workout.

What did I have for lunch? Shakes!! I took my first Pure Reform class today & it was a workout. Love adding a new challenge into my rotation of cardio, yoga, and regular barre classes. The teachers are extremely helpful and PB Bethesda is a welcoming environment to all students. Next up? Pure Empower.

Pure Barre is unlike any workout I’ve ever taken part of. It’s definitely a challenge at first as you push your muscles to exert maximum effort, but by the end of class you feel so vamped and ready to take on the day. The instructors at the Bethesda location are fantastic, and balance being equally forceful and supportive in their hands-on assistance. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to insert exercise into their daily routine.

Ive had an excellent time working out at Pure Barre Bethesda! Im seeing results really quickly, and the studio is absolutely lovely. The instructors are amazing and really motivating.

Ive worked out at many local gyms and Pure Barre is still the best workout in the city! Love these classes and the results that come along with them. Highly recommend!

Great class!! I was hooked after my first class about three months ago and have noticed progressive and significant improvement in my core, quad, and glute strength. I love both barre classic and barre empower - alternating between the two classes is a great way to build up both strength and cardio. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for low-impact strengthening workouts.

Great location and very nice staff. The barre classes are an excellent work out. Only complaint is how small the studio is, with the restrooms in the back, and inaccessible if a class is in session.

Love this studio!! The teachers are outstanding and the location can’t be beat in downtown Bethesda. It’s a smaller studio but certainly spacious enough; classes never feel over crowded. Beautiful space and staff is super friendly. Workouts are HARD and excellent, lots of variety and very convenient times. Validated parking only available onsite for first time and monthly members, but there is paid parking onsite and there are plenty of lots and metered street parking around. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the studio is clean, and the workouts are challenging. I tried barre for the first time three months ago and have gone back almost every week since.

Really wonderful studio. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming and provide a really great workout. Ive already purchased another month of unlimited classes.

I live a little far from this studio, but its always worth it. I have a Barre family that continues to push me at my best. its a great feeling! I love the results and the environment.

This is a great studio! Its neat and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and of course the classes are a great workout. Youll be sore for days (in a good way)!

Energetic instructors, fast-paced classes, and great variation in workouts. I especially love Pure Empower, which involves more movement than a typical barre class.

I am enjoying witg pure barre in Bethesda. All stuff is so friendly and the parking is very good. I will recommended to my friends.

Pure Barre is fantastic! The staff is incredibly welcoming and the class is an amazing workout! I always leave class feeling stronger and with a smile on my face.

This is very hard work, but very effective! The instructors at this location are extremely professional and very encouraging - highly recommend.

A lot of fun and a great work out! All the staff and instructors are great. Highly recommend.

Ive been doing Barre for 10 years and felt right at home from my first class here. Started a new job in Bethesda and was so excited to have this studio within walking distance of my office (normally I go to PB Dupont). Front desk staff are super sweet and they do awesome things like margarita mondays. Havent had a bad class yet, and even full classes are not obnoxiously crowded like some other studios. Highly recommended!

Ive been a die-hard Lagree pilates girl for the past 3 years and was looking for something different. Pure Barre was the perfect alternative. While it was hard at first to master the tuck, Im now feeling more confident with the moves. The music is upbeat and the instructors and staff are more than friendly. I appreciate that they focus on the form.

I love Pure Barre as a way to switch up my usual strength training and cardio routine! It’s low impact with major burn! I recently took their Empower class which was by far my favorite. Cardio mixed in with the usual barre moves for a killer class! Staff is always super friendly and welcoming!

Pure Barre Bethesda is my favorite barre studio in the area! I started with their free first week and was immediately hooked. All of the instructors are so nice and their hands-on corrections are very helpful.

Alix and Bri are great instructors, good amount of correction and guidance. Pure barre and pure empower are both great classes. Pure empower is very challenging.

Great studio with excellent instructors -- Im so happy to have found this workout and am really seeing & feeling good changes!

Its the best sort of exercise I have experienced!! Its enjoyable and gives you a result! As a bonus it shows quickly and you feel it work quickly too

Great studio with wonderful instructors! The class is upbeat and great for toning.

Been going to the Pure Barre in Bethesda for a few months and I cant get enough. The studio is clean, the instructors are wonderful, and I always leave feeling better than when I came in. Highly, highly recommend this place.

Fun and challenging! Dont forget socks. Easy to get to by metro or drive and park easily in the lot.

I started recently and enjoyed it a lot. I feel different parts of the body work and muscle endurance is getting stronger.

Classes are challenging and fun, and i can feel my body getting stronger after taking a handful of these. The teachers have generally been good, some more hands on than others.

Great studio! Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming, and the workouts are the perfect amount of challenging.

Great workout! Good location. Parking can be a little tricky.

I purchased the intro month package and Im very happy with the results so far. I will definitely consider buying the unlimited membership

This studio is amazing and our instuctors are not just teaching but share their love of barre with all students. Glad to bring diversity into the group.

Great workout! The instructors are easy to follow, they help you make the necessary adjustments and are very helpful. Get ready for a fullbody workout with a fantastic playlist

This is such a great studio. The environment is welcoming, instructors make it a point to learn everyones names, and the classes have done more to help me tone and strengthen than anything else Ive tried.

I’m really excited to do exercises but still hard to follow the position.I’ll try and try to get better.

I love it! I’ve just started one month ago! But I already feel the difference!!

Great lunchtime workout. I really enjoy Bris class.

Everyone here is so friendly and the instructors do a great job providing adjustments through class!

It was a fun, challenging workout. You accomplish a lot for a shorter workout. Going again for sure.

Great instructors and a great environment! It’s my new favorite workout!

I love how there are many class times to choose from, so it can always fit my schedule!

Excellent instruction. Great approach to a full-body workout.

Its great to have some workout with a group of strong girls in the morning!

Ive had a wonderful experience at Pure Barre Bethesda- I can feel myself getting stronger after only a few classes, and the customer service is great!

Love the workout excellent glute training. Feeling good

More convenient class times than other studios in the area

They do a great job of toning and strengthening your muscles and core!

Great instructors who are personable and remember everyones name. Each class is different and the hour flies by.

Best workout. Friendly staff. Great location.

Fun and challenging classes, great variety of class times offered.

Carla Keith has made this one of my fav studios! Best workout in under an hour!

I’m hooked on Pure Barre. I’m getting a membership once my ClassPass is over! The instructors are great and I don’t feel like I’m being judged when I can’t do a move.

Great studio and friendly staff. Buns b burning

Great class for strength building and toning!

The teachers are all so supportive and helpful. Lifting, toning, and burning, are my new favorite things to do on my lunch break!

I am thoroughly enjoying my sessions at Pure Barre Bethesda on Hampton Lane. The teachers are very well trained, helpful with moderations, and very friendly. I intend to continue for a long time.

You will feel like an idiot the first time, but thats OK because everyone looks ridiculous when they work out!I was definitely sore in the bum, thighs, upper arm, and abs the next day.The work outs consist of short, contained movements focused in particular muscle areas. You feel the burn immediately, but can modify if things become too difficult.There is some working with props (rubber bands, balls, light weights (1-5 lbs).The instructor was very friendly and attentive. I wish she had been more direct in calling out what I was doing wrong, but was probably trying to be sensitive (Im sure some people dont take kindly to directed notes).Music was fast-paced top-40, I loved it but then again Im a pop-fiend.Id recommend this to a friend as a strength support to other cardio workouts.

Good workout, clean studio with friendly instructors

I always feel renewed when I leave Pure Barre! :)

Amazing classes and friendly staff!

The best staff and the best workout!
