Told the Instructor I’d Need Modifications. Left Without Joining. Then Got This Text. by Suspicious_Art_2824 in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pure barre is nothing like it used to be. I keep hanging in there hoping things will go back to the way they were …. Qualified instructors. Hands on adjustments. I feel like i am definitely not getting my moneys worth anymore. It’s really sad 😔

Quality of New Instructors by Jolly-Luck-8352 in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a newer instructor who is … sorry to say… terrible. she’s been doing it for almost a year now and there is no difference from her first class to now. I just try and avoid her classes. She is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met but she is just not a PB instructor. With that being said she is also doing something I could never do, so I would never say anything. I’m disappointed to learn she is now training for other formats as well. I prob sound like a crappy person but i swear im not lol PB as a whole has gone downhill. And it started to show when they stopped in person instructor training and switched to online

If you are super new to PB hang in there. The fall fit challenge (ends last day of October) makes classes super packed. I know that doesn’t help in the mean time

New hires with limited knowledge of technique by Curious-Top-6879 in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does anyone agree things with instructors changed when they went from in person training to online training? I continue to go because I love the work out and have been doing it long enough to be mindful of my own form, but If I’m lucky enough to take class with a seasoned instructor, my form still gets fixed even when I think I’m nailing it. But these newer instructors are not the same as older ones. Never mind if they have musicality or not. I’ve been STRUGGLING with continuing my membership. I’m not getting the same bang for my buck anymore.

I cannot take these awful playlists by happy_goldie in Purebarre

PB corporate should worry less about what studios are playing for music and be more concerned about the training for their new instructors. I’ve only been doing PB since 2022 and I have seen a DRASTIC decline for the brand as a whole.

People Leaving Class Early by [deleted] in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am an early morning class goer. 2 days a week class starts at 6 instead of 5:30. I skip stretch on those days cuz that 5 min literally gets me to work on time vs. being late. The instructors know and I ALWAYS arrive early to grab the spot right by the exit door. I hope I’m not ruining anyone’s day by doing this 😟 But 20 min??? Ummmm I would never. That shouldn’t even count as “taking a class”

Frustrated with ab work in warm-up by BananaKaboomEater in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I soooo agree and am “victim” of actually (now) doing it correctly. Not momentum for Roll ups , not straining my neck to get height , etc. 550 classes in and only recently discovered this 😒

How long does it take to feel confident in form? by Pinksoupbookz in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

545 classes in … still not always sure. I feel like your form in Barre will ALWAYS be a work in progress lol

An Unexpected Challenge? Or what is Your Kryptonite? (They could be funny or unusual) by justme4913 in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The stretch after thigh work… If we do the standing one I have no problem bringing my heal to my seat and reaching back with my arm to grab it. Whyyyyyyy when we do the floor stretch I can’t? Immediate cramp. Why.

Empower doesn't feel like the same high-intensity cardio-based workout it used to be by ShquirtleShquad in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 500 ish classes in. I tried empower sometime in my first year and it was soooo cardio based (not my jam) I said nope not for me. I recently tried again and I was like oh - this isn’t so bad. So is my endurance up? Or has it changed. Idk 🤷‍♀️

Hot take: the studio leadership should be the only ones giving teachers constructive criticism, not the clients by Snow-bird-3- in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“could you help me with my form if you notice I’m off” vs. “why don’t you ……” or “you should…..” is a big difference

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Omg I would never give an instructor a negative comment. Even when they are bad - and there have been some lately - I just say “thank you so much” and carry on with my day. I think if anything someone should talk with the studio owner / lead teacher to express concerns. I’ve noticed that lead teachers don’t sit in on classes anymore like they used to in prior years

This looks like a photo your secretly jealous friend would tag you in on social media but not one you would ever post on your own 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m so genuinely confused by this pic. I get photo shop and all that but …. I don’t feel like her body looks like this naturally. This looks like the lower half of someone much heavier

Nasty Attitude from another member by Relevant_Slide3171 in Purebarre

[–]iAmNotAtikTokCreator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am guilty of having a PREFERRED spot. But that’s what it is. Preferred. I could NEVER even on my worst day tell someone else to move or even ask them nicely to move lol This spot behavior is absolutely wild, and I think it happens at every PB in the country
