For a few months, we have been sharing information about our neighbors at Pure Barre Berkeley, and this tomorrow, they will be open for business! If you're looking for a more specialized workout than our gym offers, you may want to consider taking advantage of their opening special - 5 weeks of unlimited classes for $100! Classes begin at 8:30 am tomorrow, Saturday, February 21. Please be advised, some classes are already wait listed.

What exactly is Pure Barre? Here's what we learned from their website:
We believe that everyone is capable of rocking our classes- no dance experience required. As long as you can hold a ballet barre, you can do Pure Barre. That’s not to say that it’s easy, your first class will likely feel challenging at times, but we encourage you to stick with it. Try your hardest and let loose and feel free to ask your instructor plenty of questions after class if you weren't clear on any of the moves.

You should wear pants, leggings or capris that you are comfortable in (no shorts) and a top that covers your midriff. You will see faster results in your flexibility this way. You will also want to wear sticky socks to retain your body’s heat as well as prevent your feet from sliding (you’ll thank us later). You’ll want to remove your shoes and put on your socks before you walk through the studio (you’ll be lying down on the carpet during class, so this is just an effort to keep the floors as tidy as possible).

We’ll have all the equipment you’ll need there at the studio, so just bring a bottle of water and a positive attitude! We do ask that you not bring your cell phones into class with you, as this can be distracting to the teacher and your fellow LTBers. If you’re expecting an important call, you’re welcome to leave your cell phone at the front desk and we’ll come snag you if you’re needed.

Welcome to Berkeley, Pure Barre!
