Fitness Spotlight: LocalLEVO Miami Rocks It At Pure Barre

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’ve been on a personal mission lately to find awesome and unique workouts to stay in shape. In fact, one might say it’s become somewhat of an addiction, and thanks to groups like LocalLEVO I’ve had the amazing opportunity to discover fabulous workouts in my local community.

This time we had the absolute pleasure of checking out Pure Barre Miami with a class led by co-owner Jessica Alier.

(Sorry boys, but I’ve got another awesome post for the lady readers!)

The Levo Ladies had met Jessica before at our Influencer Dinner in October, and we thought Pure Barre would be perfect for one of Levo’s signature #netWORKOUT events. Their mission of bettering the lives of women everywhere is totally in line with The Levo League, so it was pretty much a match made in heaven.

And so, on Friday December 7th, Local Levo Miami held it's second #netWORKOUT event at Pure Barre Miami. We had such a great time that I just had to share it with you guys! After all, I know many of you are aspiring wellness gurus who are also looking for great ways to stay in shape.

What is it?

Pure Barre is a total body workout that uses a ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music. And when I say total body workout, I really mean total body workout! Abs, arms, legs, glutes and all!

What’s really cool about Pure Barre is that it’s easy on your joints because it doesn’t involve any bouncing or jumping. They also have stretches in between strength sections to create lean, long muscle without bulk (awesome for people like me who get real tight, real fast.)

Best of all, Pure Barre is great for all kinds of body types and ages. It’s also safe enough for people with injuries and get this - they even have modifications for each trimester of pregnancy! Simply put, Pure Barre has really done it’s homework to make sure that any woman can do the whole workout no matter what they have going on!

Quick History

Pure Barre is over a decade old and was launched by Carrie Rezabek Dorr in Detroit back in 2001. Since it became such a hit they started franchising in 2009. They are now 100+ strong and growing! Pure Barre Miami, for instance, just opened up a few months ago while others are popping up all over the U.S.

What kinds of promos are there?

Pure Barre has awesome promos for new students, new moms, brides and their bridal parties, and college students. They also have other events and promos throughout the year - including retreats!

Aside from providing stellar fitness classes, Pure Barre is a full blown lifestyle company dedicated to improving the lives of women.
