Last July, I took a chance and made an investment in myself. I made a massive switch in my workout routine. I said goodbye to my personal trainer and hello to Pure Barre. If you have followed me on social media for some time now, you know my obsession with PB runs deep. Over the past 12 months, I have seen significant changes in my body but also my headspace. I have lost inches, gained muscle and found a productive way to let go of stress and tune out the world, one hour at a time.
I have received numerous direct messages and in-person questions about Pure Barre Edmond. I thought I would take a moment to answer a few of them.
Q: I wasn't on the pom or cheerleading squad, can I figure this out?
A: Absolutely! There is no reason for you to feel nervous, anyone can do this workout. Before your first class, you will arrive 15 minutes early to get a one-on-one session with the instructor. You will need to come with socks (you could borrow sticky socks from a friend or purchase some) and a bottle of water. You will take your shoes off and put on your socks before you enter the studio. There are lockers in the back where you can place your personal items. She will walk you through terminology and give you a rundown of class. There is usually another instructor taking the class, they are great to keep an eye on as well. Try to be in the front row so you can get a good view and hear the instructions clearly. Don't be scared, the class is a bit fast paced at times (you gotta get your heart rate up).
Q: What if I haven't worked out in years?
A: That's okay! Pure Barre is a place that all ages, body types and skill level are welcome. I kid you not when I say this is a place of zero judgment! The women surrounding you in class will become some of your greatest cheerleaders and friends. The Pure Barre studio is not only a place to work out, but to also grow your community of supportive and encouraging women. We celebrate the small and big victories! If you remember, when I started class, I did all of my pushups on my knees. One day, one of the instructors pushed me to stay on my toes the entire time. Honestly, I didn't think I could do it! I was so shocked and proud of myself, I was beaming the whole 55 minutes! You will learn that you are so much stronger than what you think you are!
Q: Pure Barre seems expensive, can I afford it?
A: I look at classes as an investment. Since this is the only gym and membership I have, I consider it worth it. I have the monthly unlimited option, when I did the math and cost breakdown per class, this option made the most sense for me. Pure Barre Edmond is currently running a promotion for new clients (until July 31, 2018)! You can save $30 off your first month of classes. Instead of $99, you pay $69 for a month of unlimited classes! If you (or know someone who would be) are interested, you can purchase a membership online, here. When you check out, use promo code: lindseypb30 to save.
I hope to see you soon! Before you know it, you will be signing your name to the 100th class bar in the lobby.
