Pure Barre – Houston Heights

December 5, 2014 by Brittany

It is now that time of the year where there are holiday parties filled with cocktails, cookies and food galore! This is the best time of the year, but can also not be the best time for your waistline if you don’t watch it. I am the type of girl who if I am going to eat desserts or be at a party I am going to indulge and not limit myself because of the calories. Doing this I have to workout and move around somehow throughout the day. I personally do not like working out and have never been the type who will go running for fun or do a high impact workout like crossfit or boot camp.

Looking for a great workout without all of the strenuous jumping or running I came across Pure Barre. This is the perfect workout for the girl who likes to have a high intense workout without the extra stress on your joints. You do not have to be a ballerina, dancer, or have perfect balance in order to participate in Pure Barre. You just need to be able to hold on to the ballet barre and follow along to the great instructions. It is a 55 minute class that offers a complete total body workout using isometric movements providing a high intensity workout. The new location in the Heights just opened up 10 minutes away from where I live so I thought this was a great time to give it a try. I have already been 3 times this week and love it so far. I like how the work out is intense but really focuses on form, posture, balance and core as well. During the class you target all of your muscles especially your seat, thighs and abs. I like how it mixes up different equipment including light pound weights that seem like 20 pounds after reps, a band, mat and ball.

I am going to try to go at least 3-4 days a week after work. I got the 30 day new client special and feel like this is the best deal if you are new to this type of workout and are just starting out. For $99 you can go to as many classes you want in the first 30 days. Then you can sign up for individual classes, a month at a time or a full year.

The Pure Barre Heights just opened up a month ago and has already been gaining a lot of popularity. Everyone is so friendly and knows you by name. During the classes the instructor will help and modify any movements you can’t do. Right now there is a special to win a trip for 2 if you complete 20 classes within the month of December as well. I am working on this and will keep everyone up to date on my progress. This is one of the best workouts I have ever done and can’t wait to go back for my next class 🙂
