Pure Barre Studio Opens in Wyckoff

Pure Barre, which claims to be the fastest, most effective workout on the market for women looking to transform their body and tone their abs, arms, seat and thighs, has gained popularity since its inception in 2001.

Dare to try it, Wyckoff residents? Now you can since a Pure Barre studio has opened in Wyckoff.

Opened this past May, Pure Barre focuses on the areas of the body women struggle with the most: the seat, thighs and upper body and creates the long and lean muscles of a dancer through small isometric movements centered around a ballet barre, said Pure Barre Wyckoff’s Studio Manager Linda Mavretish.

“The Pure Barre technique is low-impact, protecting your joints by avoiding any bouncing or jumping. Each strength section of the workout is followed by a stretching section in order to create long, lean muscles without bulk. The technique works to defy gravity by tapering everything in and lifting it up,” Mavretish said.

Mavretish also Pure Barre classes are great for women who want to relax, too.

“The concentration involved while taking Pure Barre allows you to block ‘life’ out for the hour, creating the mental benefits similarly obtained by the practice of yoga or meditation. A transformed body and a clear head in just one hour—it doesn’t get much better than that,” Mavretish said.

Since it began franchising in 2009, more than 250 Pure Barre studios have opened nationwide.

“We believe … everyone is capable of rocking our classes [and] no dance experience [is] required,” Mavretish said, adding as long as you can hold a ballet barre, you can do Pure Barre, though your first class will likely feel challenging at times.
