I didn't even realize there was one by us. Where did you get the deal?</p> <p>Related: I have done FlyBarre twice and am about to buy a package.

Of all the classes I've taken in the last few years (bootcamp, hot yoga, etc.) I found it to be the hardest and most effective. The closest studio is really small, though, so the most convenient classes are always filled up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-1236192 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:30:46 +0000 alphagam84 1236192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a free bure barre class the other week and it was intense. I'm in good shape and it had my legs and abs shaking. I was sore for three days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-1236170 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:25:20 +0000 MrsSCB 1236170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done Bar Method and I love it! It's a great workout. The first time I did it, I was sooooo sore the day after. It is pretty expensive, though, so I do it sparingly :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-1236078 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:55:53 +0000 looch 1236078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this up because I just bought a pack of 6 classes for $50.</p> <p>I can't begin until January, but I am so excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-805854 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:28:32 +0000 Freckles 805854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Thanks for the link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-805777 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:09:25 +0000 Pirouette 805777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: thanks so much! It's great to know there is guidance out there...I think I'm gonna order it this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-804743 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:02:18 +0000 Cole 804743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a promo code on dailygarnish.com for the video option at Barre 3 if anyone is interested. I haven't tried it yet but I an hoping to someone in the next week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-804729 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:58:58 +0000 birdofafeather 804729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: i do know that DM has protocols for pregnancy. i did everything in the class, just with modifications. like staying on my knees during plank, etc. it's way less stress on your body and less overall injuries.</p> <p><a href="http://thedaileymethod.blogspot.com/2010/11/pregnancy-and-our-method.html" rel="nofollow">http://thedaileymethod.blogspot.com/2010/11/pregnancy-and-our-method.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-804714 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:54:01 +0000 Pirouette 804714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: that's awesome! I want all those things (especially a quick labor!) it doesn't look like dailey method is in NY though. and I can't really justify paying for the classes on top of my ballet classes (which are super expensive) and my gym membership, but i'm thinking of ordering a barre dvd (in addition to the physique 57, which i'm getting a little bored with)...would you recommend dailey method over pure barre for during pregnancy? i see they have a prenatal one for pure barre as well, but i'm wondering if I'm better off adapting the normal one so i can use it pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-804643 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:35:20 +0000 birdofafeather 804643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have done pure barre, but now regularly do dailey method, which is similar, but less cardio.</p> <p>@Pirouette: i did the dailey method throughout my pregnancy, up until a week before i gave birth. i would have done it more but i got the flu that week! it was awesome to keep me in shape. i've read that people that practice go into labor sooner, have a quick labor, good delivery and bounce back PP faster. it was certainly true for me. i do trade to get free classes. maybe you could work something out at a studio near you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-803923 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:20:16 +0000 JoJoGirl 803923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: haha aww :-) trust me I was not doing the full workout by the end!! But thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-803190 Thu, 23 May 2013 10:57:42 +0000 Pirouette 803190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I actually got them a few years ago through an offer on gilt, so they were pretty cheap. I think you can get them on amazon (though it might be more expensive). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-803143 Thu, 23 May 2013 10:43:19 +0000 LindsayInNY 803143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done Barre3 - it was a ton of fun but, yes, on the expensive side!</p> <p>@Pirouette: I've debated trying the Physique 57 DVDs since I can't afford the classes. Where did you buy them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-803037 Thu, 23 May 2013 10:09:49 +0000 Pirouette 803037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: you are so hard core!! I'm hoping to be able to keep up with my ballet classes throughout (with modifications obviously) but i can see falling completely off the wagon once my belly gets big! seriously, you're my role model! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-803007 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:58:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 803007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: gosh lets see. Around 25 weeks I was diagnosed with diastasis so had to significantly modify everything, ie no planks, no ab work, so focused on arms and lower body. I was still going at 35 weeks but it was realllllyyyyy hard. I was signed up to go to class the day after I went into labor at 37+3 so was optimistically hoping to go til the end, but my sciatica was so bad at that point I'm not sure how many more classes I'd have made it to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802959 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:41:41 +0000 MrsH 802959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pure barre classes but couldn't justify the price. I bought the DVDs though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802945 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:37:45 +0000 Pirouette 802945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also do the physique 57 dvds...the classes are too expensive for me and too hard to work around my schedule. I got a good deal on the 3 dvd set, so it has a 30 min workout, a 57 min workout and i think an abs workout (which i've never done).</p> <p>I once took a barre method class, which i really enjoyed.</p> <p>@JoJoGirl: when during your pregnancy did you stop doing the classes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802391 Thu, 23 May 2013 04:55:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 802391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I loooove it!!!!!! It got my core in amazing shape. Just posted a pic in another thread of my abs after doing no strength training other than pure barre for 8 months. Can't wait to get back post baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802346 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:46:14 +0000 mrsjazz 802346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I love the Physique 57 DVDs. They are a great workout, I remember when I first started, I did the DVDs for a couple of weeks and noticed muscles in my leg that I hadn't seen in ages! I need to get back to it. I've taken the class, too and I think I almost died. I will stick to the video because I can take a break without feeling like a pansy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802306 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:39:33 +0000 autumnlove 802306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like the Physique 57 workout DVDs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802305 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:38:31 +0000 autumnlove 802305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love Pure Barre and I splurged on a few class packages before I got married. Unfortunately, I don't live near a studio anymore so I bought some of the DVDs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802283 Wed, 22 May 2013 22:47:55 +0000 aprk 802283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: good to know. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802275 Wed, 22 May 2013 22:40:35 +0000 Pink Champagne 802275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The barre3 online videos are great! They have different length ones (10, 30, 40 minutes) so you pick what you have time for. There's a good assortment of videos too. It's $15 a month to have access, which I think is a small price to try it out. I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pure-barre-1#post-802253 Wed, 22 May 2013 22:18:34 +0000 aprk 802253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I wish the one by me had child are! Otherwise I could only go on weekends and it seems like is have to do it more often to see the results. I might try online but I fear I won't have the motivation to stick with it. </p>
