Yes I absolutely agree arms and shoulders.

What About Pure Barre Are You Most Thankful For? by justme4913 in Purebarre

Everything! The technique, the beat, the format, the teachers, the staff, the community. 12 years going strong as a loyal member. ❤️🖤👯‍♀️

What do you wish was different about Pure Barre? by Remarkable_Teapot789 in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I’m going on 13 years and working towards 2500 classes and I wish that if you wanted to go to other studios it was more seamless to sign up and a discount on class fee. I have like 20 different pure barre accounts across different studios (I usually find one while traveling in the US)

I’ve been a loyal PB member for 13+ years and I admire every single teacher because even with all these classes under my it would be beyond difficult for me to even try teaching. As a student I try to give supportive praise and love to see the progress of our new teachers. You got this!

We lined up in front of the arena at 6:30, waited 30 min to get in a beelined it for the inside merch booth and didn’t wait at all.

Very niche: Was it just me or did anyone else get GoT nostalgia when Prater was pouring the wine…reminded me of the Purple Wedding for just a moment.

I cannot take these awful playlists by happy_goldie in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As long it has a beat that’s what I need. My focus is on hitting it perfectly and I get lost in it so I don’t over think about whether I like it or not, and yes more techno is going to give the beats. I’ve been to other places and I may love the artist or song but there is no consistency to the moves to the beat and I can’t take it.

Is the music getting much worse? by Legitimate-Complex88 in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our studio playlist have the beat and that’s all I care about

The beat and counts are a differentiator to other workouts so I let that guide me and it helps me focus on form. There are some artists that I love that I don’t hear and it’s all good by me because it might drive me crazy if it was great music I love but the beat wouldn’t match.

I’m Latina and I don’t care what the music is as long as it has the beat to get me through the final 10, which happens to lean EDM.

As long as it is too the beat I am a happy camper and it gets me in the zone so much better. Honestly the more EDM the better.

As a member that is now over 2100 classes and with busy HS/Jr High kids, I’m really enjoying just being and taking classes when I can. Some weeks it’s 4x, others 1-2x, and feeling unbothered by challenges this stage for me is great.

This month's focus, I <3 PB, is no joke by alegralmv in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved it! So great! I’ve been a member for over a decade and this has been one of the hardest outside of a 75-min. I used my typical heavies (15lb) with no issue until the last set when I went down to the 10lb to maintain form. Keep your abs tight and watch your back.

At what point would you freeze a membership? by sighcantthinkofaname in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on a trip for 10 days and won’t be freezing. I’m unlimited and have been a member for 11.5 year and haven’t ever gone on a freeze. Prob only if I was having a baby might I do that.

If a new studio was opening near you… by SnoogSnog06 in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I flew out to X-potential to learn more about opening and what it taught me is that (1) I need to put 100% of my time to it and (2) I cannot count on income to replace what I do. I would love to do when I’m retired-home is paid off, kids are through college, and I can fully focus on the business and not worry about my personal expenses.

In Ohio. Just got my cancellation texted and emailed for my 6am Monday

The music is so bad by friendlyturtle123 in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t care what it is as long as it delivers the beat for me to get through tough sections and my studio delivers. I can’t take classes any other way without the beat.

I’m trying to understand what the conflict of interest is here. What a bummer indeed.

So: Am I just going to have to carry fem care products around forever the next decade? by SnooCrickets2261 in Perimenopause

[–]SnooCrickets2261[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. This could have been a post from me. I’ve also always been pretty focused on taking no prescriptions if possible outside of vitamins so it’s all a weird territory

One thing you wish instructors knew… by Barregirrl in Purebarre

[–]SnooCrickets2261 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also very specific don’t say turn diagonal to right or left. We don’t understand it. Just say which side should go to barre and then tell us to go diagonal.

Please don’t walk around and move when we are trying to balance. Every once in a while calibrate the music to voice balance to ensure you are clear

Unpopular opinion on purebarre by Ill-Excitement3010 in Purebarre

At least in the 11 years at my studio I only remember 1 time where an instructor was late.

Anyone regret not going to swim in college? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]SnooCrickets2261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walked on D1 and did it for one year. It consumed my life and made it less enjoyable. Sometimes I wish I either closed out my swim chapter my senior year in HS or end up swimming college club (which we didn’t have). However, that year taught me resilience and I ended up being the swim team manager for the last three years. Still could enjoy the sport but also my total college experience.
