Pure Barre Platform - any fans?

I was thinking of trying a Pure Barre platform class, now that the studio near my office is part of ClassPass.

But I read this review and now I'm thinking it will not appeal to me. Has anyone done it for a while who could vouch for whether it's still frenetic or has been refined since its launch?

Thanks!

I don't know if they've changed but i took one back in May. It seemed fun, but i didn't love it & have never been back. I agree it's fresh & new & a definite cardio focus, but it does totally go against the small pulses & controlled movements. I go to barre for the muscle focus on the seat & thighs, not for a cardio burn.

I say take a class & see how it goes. You can take one without being locked in to anything

Yeah, the small & controlled movements are what I love about barre, too. And the bigger movements are why I did not like Xtend and some other barre DVDs. I noticed that one of the responses to that blog post (agreeing with it) was from August, so I guess it has not changed.

I think I'm going to skip it. I also have healing rotator cuffs, so pulling away from the barre for long periods would not be good for me.

The studios near me will not let you take a platform class until you have taken ten regular classes.

Good to know. I did about 2 years of Pure Barre, so that part would be fine. But I think this is not sounding like my cup of tea.
