"The Pure Barre community has given me SO much more than I could ever repay it!

I recently turned 55 years old. I had been contemplating becoming an instructor for a while and despite my age, made the decision to “go for it!” last February. However, shortly after, I was diagnosed with skin cancer. (As a Hispanic, olive-skinned woman, this was a shock!)

I had to delay the process until healing after the excision surgery. I went through Zoom training in May. BEST decision ever!

This is my third act. I was in the corporate world, then became a stay-at-home mom and volunteer. As a recent empty nester, I felt like I didn’t have a purpose or direction for this season of my life. I had no idea how much I needed Pure Barre for my well-being. I will be forever grateful!

Pure Barre has given me a purpose and a renewed sense of self. I love the members & all of my coworkers!

I truly believe that the Pure Barre community is uniquely special. I feel extremely blessed that I get to be an instructor! I get to both challenge & cheer on clients. It’s through the process of truly learning who they are that I have and continue to form strong relationships both in & outside the studio.

My home studio is amazing! Currently, I’m traveling watching my son play baseball. I’m guest teaching at two studios…and the clients have welcomed me with open-arms and been awesome!

Lastly, as a “mature” instructor, I love letting women know that not only CAN we…but we SHOULD be at Pure Barre! The way Pure Barre is great for our bodies & mind and how it changes us…cannot be beat! Age is just a number. We do not have an expiration date on being relevant, strong or fabulous! I don’t miss an opportunity to tell people about my passion!"

It's simple - Pure Barre gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. 😊 Drop an emoji describing how you feel when you leave Pure Barre!

In honor of Pride Month, we are so excited to highlight our rockstar master teacher trainer Sydney! We asked Sydney to share her Pure Barre Story, what Pride means to her and what advice she'd give to newcomers as a seasoned Pure Barre teacher. Read her responses below and drop some love for Sydney in the comments!

🌈 Please share your Pure Barre story! 🌈

I started taking Pure Barre during January 2016, and immediately fell in love with it! I went to teacher training in March 2016, and have never looked back! I met my then-girlfriend, now-wife, while I was in the process of training to become a teacher, and my team was incredibly supportive from the very beginning! When we got engaged, my studio didn't even hesitate to post a congratulatory post, which made me feel so special, as it was extra clear in that moment that I was supported! Members of the team and some of the studio clients at the time showed up to all my pre-wedding festivities, and were there for the wedding!

When I joined the corporate team during the summer of 2021, I was nervous at first to have to "come out" again, as it's hard feeling as though you have to each time you're around someone new. I immediately began telling people proudly about my wife, and nobody batted an eye. Again, it was so nice to feel supported in a place that I love so much. Throughout all my time at Pure Barre, I've received nothing but support. This place and this brand have been a place of healing and acceptance for me since 2016, and I love the opportunity to provide that to others.

🌈 What does Pride mean to you? 🌈

Pride to me means visibility. It means being able to see people like you succeed in all different spaces. Pride means being able to be who I am without feeling as though anything is wrong with me. Pride is a sense of belonging within our community!

🌈 What advice as a teacher would you give to first timers? 🌈

Give yourself grace! Learning anything new can be challenging, and Pure Barre is a technique! The more you come back, the more you'll understand. Your teachers are there to help you every step of the way, and are always more than happy to help you with modifications or to answer questions about the technique!

Cross-train with Pure Barre Empower™! Charity has always loved running, and now she loves Pure Barre to build strength and agility to support her long distance runs.

Meet Matthew, our superstar teacher & sales manager from . We asked him to share what Pure Barre means to him in honor of Men's Health Week!:

"For me, it's about being the best version of myself and being able to Teach others what I would call, "the most challenging workout of my life".

I grew up swimming, diving, playing soccer, baseball, and long distance running. After College (Go 'Canes!), life inevitably became busier and my fitness routine became less of a staple in my daily routine. By my mid 30's, my blood pressure had started to creep up and my energy level was at all time low.

Almost exactly a year ago, my wife and I were walking in downtown Ann Arbor after a day of shopping. A class was just letting out and the Teacher (hey Abby!) greeted us near the front door. She said, "next class starts in 7 minutes, put your bags over there and let's go".

The rest is history.

This serendipitous meeting opened the door to the biggest mental and physical challenges I have ever experienced. Attending class 3 times a week, learning form (I have no previous dance experience), and intensive daily study sessions are just a few of the examples of the challenges I went through at the start of my Pure Barre experience. The workouts translated quickly into lean and long muscle gains with absolutely no discomfort on my joints. It wasn't long before I knew I wanted to Teach in addition to Train.

The fact that I am the 3rd male Pure Barre Teacher All-Time is something I am extremely proud of.

I sit here today, still early in this chapter of my life with Pure Barre. At 40 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life (crazy strong!), cleared from taking all of the blood pressure medication I was previously on (this workout works!), and happier than I have ever been. The sense of accomplishment I feel after a class cannot be measured. The joy of being able to Teach an effective workout to my peers is fulfilling.

The feeling of inclusion from the willingness of my coworkers and Owner to teach me to Teach has given me a strong sense of gratitude. Grateful is an understatement when reflecting on my Owner, and her belief in me. She is one of the hardest workers I know and the rock of the studio. Go Colleen!

Elevating my drive just to BEGIN to keep up with the level of dedication & fitness I witness daily in the local Ann Arbor Downtown Pure Barre community will continue to be my biggest challenge.

I highly recommend Pure Barre to anyone looking for a challenging and fun workout experience.

Advice for newbies; just commit to the process and go for it at your own pace. Personally, I always use the words of encouragement from my Teachers and community members as fuel to keep myself in high gear. The community is incredible!

Thanks for reading this chapter of my story. I can't wait to continue learning and giving everything I have to this fantastic community."

Did you know barre can help fill the gaps in many runners' training routines - namely, strength training, lateral and twisting movements, and mobility and flexibility work.

Happy National Nurses Day! 🏥⚕️Thank you to all the incredible nurses in our Pure Barre community. ❤️ We are so excited to feature Candice, the owner of newly opened who is ALSO a Nurse Practitioner by day. Read about her passion for nursing & Pure Barre below!

As a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, the foundation of my career is helping patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Caring for and counseling patients has always been fulfilling for me, but many days as a nurse can be as draining and exhausting as they are rewarding. Over the past ten years, Pure Barre has consistently been my space to check my mental exhaustion at the door and refill my cup to be able to give back to others.

In early 2021 I was struggling with the burn out like so many other health care providers. I came home from an especially exhausting work day and told my husband “I’m going to open a Pure Barre”. He may have thought I was crazy, but I had reached a point in my career where I felt like there was more I could be doing to help women achieve health and wellness, while also focusing more on my own well-being and success. Counseling patients about the health benefits of exercise was no longer enough for me, especially when I felt I was constantly encountering the hurdle of patients not wanting to take action.

Thus Pure Barre Waxhaw was born! Starting a business while still seeing my patients in the office has been everything except easy, but putting my words into action to better serve the humans in front of me achieve their goals and find improved health and wellness has been worth every minute. I love seeing expecting moms finding their power during pregnancy. I love witnessing postmenopausal clients embracing the importance of strength training as they gracefully age. I love cheering on my younger clients, silently feeling proud that they recognize the importance of exercise now which will serve them indefinitely. All the things I counsel on daily have come to life in my studio. Bottom line, I'm grateful that my career path as a nurse practitioner was able to merge with my personal path as a Pure Barre addict so that I can share the health benefits of Pure Barre with so many amazing people day after day.
