\u201cEnter Pure Barre. Our workout is intelligently designed to help you improve strength, balance and flexibility, which can mean greater endurance, improved coordination and better balance \u2014 all of which are vital for a killer ski season,\u201d said Jordan Bullock, owner of Pure Barre in Aspen.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the many benefits of these small, but targeted barre exercises, keeping Pure Barre in the regular rotation of year-round workouts can help outdoor enthusiasts stay strong in everything from biking to biking to tennis to golf. That\u2019s why Aspen locals have consistently voted Pure Barre as one of the best workouts and fitness studios in \u201cBest of Aspen\u201d polls over the years.<\/p>\n

Bullock wants the community to know that her studio remains open in its original location downtown, at 620 E. Hyman Ave.<\/p>\n

\u201cPure Barre is committed to serving our strong community\u2019s workout needs,\u201d Bullock said.<\/p>\n

The Pure Barre workout<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each Pure Barre class is designed to strengthen core muscles and increase balance and flexibility. Bullock said Pure Barre workouts focus on quads hamstrings, glutes, abs and arms, as well as important mind\/body connections.<\/p>\n

Classes are 50 minutes and target the entire body with low-impact, isometric movements. Sometimes exercises are done using the ballet barre, and other times you\u2019ll be on a mat using other light equipment.<\/p>\n

One thing Pure Barre workouts are known for is the shake. As you complete repetitions of these isometric exercises \u2014 small contractions of muscles \u2014 it\u2019s common to feel your muscles shake, indicating muscle fatigue. Over time, the shake improves as your body strengthens, making the shaking less intense with each class.<\/p>\n

So, while the workout is low-impact, it\u2019s high intensity. The results are long and lean muscle tone without the bulk, according to Pure Barre.Class attire is similar to what you might wear to a yoga class \u2014 pants, leggings or capris, and a fitness tank or T-shirt. It\u2019s important to have a pair of sticky socks for class to prevent unwanted sliding, plus it helps keep the studio clean from bare feet.<\/p>\n
