via Google I took Pure Barre Sunnyvale for the first time over the weekend, and I was amazed. As someone who goes to the gym every day and does a variety of workouts, I truly underestimated Pure Barre, and wow, I could not have been more wrong.
The small studio creates an intimate, personal vibe for each individual while still fostering a strong sense of belonging. The instructor, who is also the owner, Selam, walked around the room and gently adjusted our posture and positioning throughout the class, which made the experience feel very intentional, attentive, and supportive.
Pure Barre focuses on targeting the smallest muscle groups, the ones you normally cannot reach or do not even realize exist. You only discover them the next day when everything is sore. I was sweating, my body was shaking while holding some of the positions, and I could feel muscles working that I did not know I had. That is what a great workout does, and that is how you know the hour was truly well spent.
What sets Pure Barre Sunnyvale apart from other gyms is its unique, family-like vibe, something you do not find everywhere. From the cleanliness, cozy lighting, and thoughtfully provided equipment to the beautiful souls in the local community, everyone comes together regardless of fitness level to work toward the same goal. With about ten people in each session, you have enough personal space while still feeling a sense of belonging, acceptance, safety, and support. It truly feels like a community that is growing and thriving together, and that is the right environment for people to excel in both their fitness and personal goals.
So if you have not tried Pure Barre, want to change up your exercise routine, challenge yourself with new movements, shift your workout vibe, be part of a beautiful and positive community, are just starting your fitness journey and do not know where to begin, or are simply curious and want to discover muscle groups you did not know you had, Pure Barre Sunnyvale is the answer. Give it a try, and you will come back to thank me later. :)

She offered many modifications, was encouraging, warm and friendly, and very effective at making sure we all enjoyed a great workout.

Neha Mvia Google Joining the Pure Barre studio in Sunnyvale has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself this year. The exercises are low impact and focus on strengthening muscles and improving flexibility.
The positive energy in the studio, the music, and genuine support from the instructors and classmates make each class feel empowering. I leave every class feeling stronger.
I’ve taken classes with almost all of the instructors and they are amazing. They offer corrections (off of the mic - they come up to you personally) for your form to ensure you’re getting the most out of your workout and to avoid potential injuries.
I work full time and have two small children so I really appreciate that they offer so many class times to choose from. They have an app for easy scheduling, which helps me plan my workouts in advance.
The owners are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about the member experience. They are fostering a real sense of community at this beautiful studio and I’m so happy to be a part of it.

Beverlee Go-Fraderavia Google I’m so glad we finally have a Purebarre closeby! Love the classes and multiple timeslots which give me flexibility . The studio is sparkling new and very clean and is not crowded . The owners are very kind and really take time to know everyone. Bonus is the excellent location ( beside Safeway ), so I can do my groceries after the workout which is important for busy mommas like me ! I love the Classic and Defyne classes ! Love the community of ladies !

Shami Josevia Google Pure barre Sunnyvale - the newest Barre studio of South Bay
I’ll start with I’m a complete beginner to Barre and regular fitness sessions.
Super welcoming atmosphere, motivating trainers, clean and nice space. Gives you determination to come back and stay focused on your journey.
Selam and EK, the owners are such sweet souls who are very welcoming and warm. They are always there to help in any way they can.
In the last couple days I have had classes with Cathy and Kawal. Both of the instructors were highly motivating and made sure to correct me gently whenever I had bad form or posture. I have gone in during peak evening times with ~20 people and also during mid day with just a couple. The care the instructors show towards getting us confident is phenomenal.
Tip: Go mid day to not be part of a big group. But if the group gives you better motivation and energy - go in the evenings. The instructors are amazing any time you go.
I cannot recommend this studio enough. I feel so good after leaving each session.
