According to the release, the ballet barre workout has exploded in popularity since its inception in 2001. Focusing on the areas of the body women struggle with the most, Pure Barre lifts the seat, tones the thighs and upper body, and creates the long and lean muscles of a dancer through small isometric movements centered around a ballet barre. Since it began franchising in 2009, more than 186 Pure Barre studios have opened nationwide.


“We are thrilled to open our newest location in Wheaton and bring the excitement and results of Pure Barre to its residents,” Carrie Dorr, the founder and chief concept officer of Pure Barre, said in the release. “The continued growth of Pure Barre studios across the country is a testament to the workout’s ability to quickly transform women’s bodies, and we couldn’t be happier to bring this experience to Wheaton.”
