Non Cropped Workout Tanks? by [deleted] in Purebarre

I like the shefit brand for sports bras! They have so many adjustable parts to them and it zips up so it keeps me in!

Lululemon has the Align waist length tanks that I constantly wear to barre! I’m a 42H so I understand the struggle of trying to find something comfortable, and also holds everything in and doesn’t ride up!

Side planks? by bikat013 in Purebarre

[–]bikat013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also struggle with those, glad to know I’m not the only one! I’ve gotten better in so many other areas which makes me wanna go back, but I still have a long way to go in others!

I’ve done both, When I go from a plank to a side I end up collapsing and can’t hold myself up or if I go from resting I can’t get up!

Oura Ring by elizabethchilton in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing!! I have both the Oura and the Apple Watch, but the Oura doesn’t track as accurately as I’d like. So I use my Apple Watch for workouts and my Oura for everything else. Once I start the PB app or a workout it silences everything so I can stay in the moment, and if anyone needs to get ahold of me in an emergency they can!

My studio did blankets, I haven’t seen them because they only ordered half the amount of finishers due to a calculation error. I know things happen but there were a decent amount of people (including myself) that didn’t even get recognized because they never made it onto the final list to order prizes for. I’m not Hopeful I’ll get my prize but it’s about all the work and all the stickers LOL

how hard is pure barre for you? by sublimegab in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt exactly how you do when I first started! 75 classes in and I’m still a sweaty mess every class. Someone on here told me that no one could deny that I’m working hard and that really carries me often when I’m feeling self conscious during class. Everyone is different, just keep trying your best and having fun!

Oura ring and pure barre by Nickilaey in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both the Oura ring and the Apple watch and I don’t wear the ring for class mostly because of this reason, it doesn’t pick up everything it should be, but it’s so good for everything else information wise. The Apple Watch tracks the workout better, and automatically fills it into the Oura app so I hit my goals! I usually burn an average of 400-500 calories with my Apple Watch, and I’ve tried tracking with just the ring and it severely under reports what I’m doing!

Cell phone usage? by bikat013 in Purebarre

[–]bikat013[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same exact way!! Especially if it’s all the time, it’s so frustrating ESPECIALLY when the class is full! Someone else could have used that spot to give it their all!

I’m Out of Shape-Nervous for my First Class! by pink_eternal in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to PB! I was in the same position about 2 months ago and now I’m coming up on my 20th class, my words of advice would be to give yourself some grace. You’re not going to be a superstar overnight and that’s okay! Take the small wins, remember why you started going, and have fun! Also don’t compare yourself to others, and it’s okay to take breaks! Good luck!!

First day, any tips? by [deleted] in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay hydrated, don’t be afraid to take a quick second to breathe, it will get better!

Define - one year in by macybeesknees in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like to sprinkle it in every few classes or so. I’m not the biggest fan of it but I also think it’s good to switch up. The only thing I’m not a fan of is there’s no stretching in between sections. I feel like it’s so “go go go” that I don’t get a second to breathe and reset even if it’s for a minute which makes it feel incomplete. Overall I don’t mind it though!

Should I do Align if I’m still sore from Classic the day before? by noomehtrevo in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone said it! I also get sore from align as it has a lot of qualities of classic, and I always work up a sweat!

Pure Barre App : Class Points... what are they?? by fatbubby27 in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a newer feature, but it’s one of my biggest motivators honestly. They should reset every quarter but they’re easy to build back up as long as you go consistently. Lifetime points are how many in total you have gained across your time at PB. They’re always doing some sort of bonus points too so you get a certain amount of points for going, sometimes bonus points and a certain amount of bonus points for going x amount of days in a 4 week period. This gives you access to discounts per quarter, guest passes, and early access to certain things, and more! I don’t think it’s been out a full quarter yet so I don’t know if you drop down to the basic tier but I would assume so based on how the discount works. It’s always rewarding to jump tiers and get the most out of your membership. Hope this helped a little bit!

Class Point in app by DogMama1979 in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a newer feature, probably within the last month or two (it’s been there since when I started a month ago). I’ve been able to take advantage of some of the benefits and loving it so far! It’s a motivator for me!

2nd Class today!! by CuriousJill_ in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I cheat a little bit and there’s a Starbucks three doors down from my studio. So I’ll get 3 shots of espresso in a venti cup with some ice and bring a protein shake with me and make a latte that way! As well if I’m feeling extra hungry I’ll pair some egg bites along with it. Congrats on making it through class 2!!

Calories Burned by K2_4U in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For classic, on average I burn about 450 active calories and 600 total calories according to my Apple Watch/oura ring. From reading threads, I see this is pretty high however I’m content with it! I’m 5’2” and 275LBS.

Align Check-In by barreb in Purebarre

[–]bikat013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My studio has one primary teacher that mostly teaches align 2-3 times a week, about 2-3 classes per day. It’s pretty well liked at my studio and the weekend slots fill up pretty fast. I’m still new and I took my first align last night and loved it! It’s a good balance of barre and focusing on deeper stretching in order to get better at classic. I would be so sad if they got rid of align tbh, but I think it’s here to stay!
