After finally completing my BSN degree, I was able to redeem the Pure Barre gift certificate that my baby nephew gave me for my birthday/Christmas! I purchased the new client special of unlimited classes during the first month for $ 100. Amanda was friendly over the phone and when I registered at the studio. The instructor, Arianna, was also friendly and welcoming as I attended my first class today! She helped me set up and corrected my posture/alignment during class. She was energetic and kept the class exciting. She also told me about the Breaking the Barre class, which was held monthly on Sundays. The class involved low-impact, yet isometric movements that worked the muscles in women’s typical problem areas. I felt so out of shape, but pushed myself and sweated to the end. I reminisced of my ballet and jazz dance days many years ago, and I enjoyed pretending to be a ballerina again. I’m looking forward to taking more classes at Pure Barre in Hilltop and Ghent.
