Pure Barre Arsenal Yards

Pure Barre Arsenal Yards is a Watertown studio of the national barre fitness chain, located in the Arsenal Yards development along Arsenal Street. Its signature workout is low impact but high intensity, using small, controlled movements at the barre to lift and tone muscles. The studio pitches its classes as being for everybody, and the low-impact format is designed to be easier on joints than workouts built on jumping and pounding.

Pure Barre started in 2001 and has since grown into one of the largest barre franchises in the United States. Classes typically combine strength work with light weights, resistance bands and balls, followed by stretching, all set to upbeat music in a group setting. Because the method is standardized across studios, members can expect a similar class structure whether they work out in Watertown or at another Pure Barre location.
