Pure Barre 4+

I didn’t know what to expect at my first class today . They are first class all the way , they made you feel right at home , they had free lockers , and recommended where you could park , they do have paid parking at the building , they even offered free water for first timers . They took the time to getting to know you , I had a massive stroke almost 8 years ago , was paralyzed on left side for awhile , I still have not regain 100 percent but are close to it . They didn’t make me feel any different from any of the others class mates . I walk away feeling that I could strive to get my old body back in shape , I even had more energy . That is a plus . If you have bad knees like I do , it wasn’t hard on them at all . I can not say how wonderful this place is .
I attended the broad ripple store . Take a chance
Become stronger , and enjoy the new you . Oh and yes I’m 62 going on 63 , so you others senior can do it also.

I have been using the pure barre app for 4 years now, and I have absolutely loved their workouts. They were categorized perfectly and everything was organized well. I could heart all of my favorite workouts and see recently done workouts. When they changed the app this year, things went down hill. Workouts are no longer categorized by equipment needed, time, or specific body parts(abs, arms, etc). No way to see what workouts you’ve done or to heart your favorites. The workouts are still great, but way less of them. It’s not pure barre itself(I still love the classes), it’s the new app that is the problem. I also cannot use the app on my tv, only my phone and computer and I cannot cast to Apple TV. You can mirror the screen through your iPhone, but the workouts are so small on the screen, you might as well be using a phone. You cannot expand the screen. So now I cannot workout on my tv. I’ve also done most of the workouts available because they got rid of the classes they used to have, so not as many to choose from. And they don’t upload new classes often enough. There is also no live class feature, yet you can join live classes on Instagram. Why not on the app? If they fixed all of the issues with the app, I would 100% continue paying monthly, but I have to cancel for now. I don’t want to workout looking at my phone screen everyday.

I’ve done Pure Barre in studio for over 7 years and love it. I also liked using the On Demand Pure Barre. This new Go feature however is crappy! First, there are limited workouts available. I don’t think it’s worth the $30/month price tag to have so few workouts available. Many of the old workouts are gone. Also, I find it hard to search for specific workouts (like 15 or 30 min workouts) and instead have to click each tab like “Classic”and “Empower” to find something suitable for my timeframe. There is no way to do the workouts on my TV with my Fire-stick so I have to plug my HDMI cable into my computer to stream it on my TV. Finally, one of my biggest pet peeves I have about these new workouts is that the instructors don’t mirror you! Whenever you’re doing a video or watching the instructor, you should be able to mimic their movements. In these videos, the instructors will say “now left foot forward” except looking at the video it looks like it’s their right side. It messes me up constantly! I’ve never done a workout video where mirroring wasn’t taken into account.

Overall, this app needs a lot of improvements to be competitive to other streaming workouts and is nowhere near the value that they charge. Please Pure Barre Go, look at the feedback people are giving you and change things!!
