Pure Barre - Houston, Texas

Sheven Poole

I do Pilates and Barre and other fitness classes regularly but nothing has made me this sore in a long time!

It's tougher than you can imagine. It's a mix of conditioning/pilates yoga & overall core strengthening. It's a masterclass in getting your butt kicked for 45ish minutes.

The unlimited membership renews monthly which allows for as many visits you can take in the month. It also is by appointment per class. PB uses an app that allows for you to book as far in advance as you want which is a great idea considering once it fills up you are wait-listed for that class (maybe 12-15 spots).

I absolutely love the different classes because of the way it stretches & strengthens at the same time. The instructors are encouraging but brutal; in a good way.

Pure Barre in the Heights is amazing! I’ve enjoyed each teacher that I’ve had and regardless of the class I get a good workout. I’ve already noticed a change in 8 classes and am more toned. The community is warm, open, and inclusive. Instructors are helpful with new joiners. They continue to check in on me which is incredibly considerate. Highly recommend!

I won’t be going back to this location from negative treatment from one employee and a general lack of comfort. A few of the employees here are friendly. Kat and Lauren are very warm and supportive. The studio space is tiny, not sure if this is by design but most classes are on a waitlist. There was a position that opened up at the front desk they announced for anyone interested to inquire w the front desk. The instructor Zoey was always extremely cold and unfriendly. There had been multiple occasions where she intentionally tried to make me feel uncomfortable or out of place which is fine considering she thought i had just moved to the neighborhood from Portland and that I didn’t know ppl in the area or was not from the same socioeconomic background as most of the other clients. When in fact I lived in Houston for 15 years before and am friends w multiple business owners in the heights. After hearing about my experience they have urged me to write this review and email the management at this location. They know me as a genuine kind person and hated that I was made to feel demoralized by the typical “mean girl” at a business where i am expected to spend money. When I inquired about the position w her she was extremely demeaning like in a terribly judgmental encounter. I mentioned that I lived nearby and loved the program and that I had other means of making money and it would be the perfect part time supplemental income then she pressed me for details about that (which wasn’t relevant) and I disclosed it was from Only Fans after which her demeanor went even colder and she clearly was trying to make me feel so shamed and embarrassed about it that I wouldn’t continue showing interest in working there. I never went back after that day which was sad bc I grew up w dance and had recently suffered an assault on my body and I was benefiting from the strength I was gaining and healing from the camaraderie of working towards something healthy w a group of powerful women. outside of the negative encounters w Zoey there i can say some of the ladies were trying to cultivate a warm environment and but they could maybe work on having a better dynamic w all of their students and making them feel appreciated/comfortable no matter their background, race, or sexual proclivities.

I love Pure Barre Heights! I was interested in joining for several years before I finally did after going to a class with a friend. Less than 2 years in, I’ve already attended over 400 classes and I’ve never felt stronger!

During this pandemic, they’ve offered multiple live stream classes daily, allowing me to stay connected and participate even though I am not attending in studio. (They have many safety protocols for in-person but I prefer to stay home.). The live stream classes are a great workout, very convenient, and the instructors still encourage us by name throughout each class.

Last but not least, the women who run and teach at Pure Barre Heights are so encouraging, supportive, and kind. I can’t wait to go back in person, but until then, feel grateful to have this outlet during a challenging time. ❤️

I have visited The Heights studio several years ago when I was in Houston to see my children. I live in Birmingham Alabama.

When the corona virus shut down our country, I received an email from The Heights Pure Barre offering me unlimited virtual classes for a very good rate. I immediately bought this package and to this day continue to take classes “in Houston”.

The classes and instructors are excellent. I appreciate the motivation each teacher provides, as well as a variety of exercises and warm ups, energetic music and their ability to communicate to each of us through Zoom.

I still attend my Birmingham studio now that it is open but I definitely supplement my exercise regime with Pure Barre the Heights classes.

Several weeks ago I marked my 100th class since the pandemic began. The sweet girls remembered and recognized me during class.

Pure Barre is my favorite form of exercise. Darby, the owner of the Heights is excellent and always aware of each class that is zoomed. Sarah, Haley and the other instructors are the some of the best. And the girls who work there and greet you on the phone or behind the desk, are polite, caring and truly love what they do.

Run, don’t walk to the Heights Pure Barre for the most effective and enjoyable 50 minutes of exercise that will transform your mind and body. I wish I could!!

I have been a member at Pure Barre Heights for almost 4 years and it has been the best studio/workout. The staff is great and I have always been made to feel like a part of the studio family. It is such a great workout for the core and toning and I have definitely seen the results of the workout and feel so much stronger and healthier since joining. The team has been so great in response to COVID and have really worked hard to provide great livestream classes. Even though I am not physically there the instructors do a great job of making you feel like you are in person. Thanks for all you do! I highly recommend Pure Barre Heights for a great workout and studio!

The ladies of Pure Barre the Heights are amazing! Perhaps the most positive and supportive group of women I have ever had the pleasure to be around. The workouts have changed my life and the studio challenges are both motivating and fun. Definitely like no other workout experience I've ever had. Member for life!
