Pure Barre

Barre workouts have taken off in a major way around the country but Pure Barre in Coral Gables is the studio that’s set the trend for locals. The 50-minute class—which is broken up into various muscle-toning sections (arms, core, thighs, seat)—follows the rest of the franchises’ routines but this location is continuously raising the bar with themed classes, bonus workshops and experienced instructors not afraid to up the ante with new moves. Recently, the studio added new cardio-focused Empower classes, a high-intensity, calorie-torching workout that uses wrist and ankle weights to complement the traditional isometric exercises.
