You’ve probably heard of Barre workouts by now, since they’ve grown in popularity over the past several years. There is staying power in this type of exercise because it utilizes the core strength, building balance, and strength throughout the body without the bulk! And the best part is, you can have the body of a lifelong dancer, without the tutus and pirouettes.
With the numerous benefits of barre workouts, you might want to consider adding it to your repertoire. From improving flexibility, blood flow, muscle strength, posture, immune function, bone health, decreasing depressive episodes, and dropping blood pressure, Barre packs a profound punch into your body, mind, and soul’s overall health.
Pure Barre provides a thorough barre workout coupled with highly-trained professional Barre instructors in a friendly atmosphere. The classes promote cardiovascular health via low impact, total body, muscle strengthening exercise.
Barre is so much more than just a good workout. Studies show that the regular practice of barre workouts, just like ballet increases fine motor skills over time, so it’s a comprehensive mind, body experience.
Because Pure Barre believes that everyone should benefit from exercise, but not with vigorous workouts on a daily basis, they offer several different levels of training for their clients.

Jenna Montone, owner of Pure Barre Fort Myers, is originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Fort Myers in 2005 with her husband for a career opportunity with Chico’s, FAS. Several years ago she was introduced to Pure Barre and fell in love with both the physical and mental results that came after just a few classes.
