Pure Barre will open its newest location in Peters Township, 4000 Washington Road, in February 2014.
The ballet barre workout has exploded in popularity since its inception in 2001. Focusing on the areas of the body women struggle with the most, Pure Barre lifts the seat, tones the thighs and upper body, and creates the long and lean muscles of a dancer through small isometric movements centered around a ballet barre.
“We are thrilled to open our newest location in Peters Township and bring the excitement and results of Pure Barre to its residents,” said Carrie Dorr, founder and chief concept officer of Pure Barre. “The continued growth of Pure Barre studios across the country is a testament to the workout’s ability to quickly transform women’s bodies, and we couldn’t be happier to bring this experience to Peters Township.”
Classes are already forming at the new Pure Barre studio, which will operate seven days per week, offering several classes each day. Registering for a class is simple, and can be done in person, over the phone or by logging on to www.purebarre.com/locations and choosing your studio of choice.
