After joining Pure Barre in August 2024, she’s found a rhythm that’s not only transformed her body but also made a meaningful impact on her overall health and wellbeing. As a Type 1 diabetic for 13 years, she shared that exercise plays a vital role in maintaining balanced blood sugars—and starting her day at the barre helps keep them steady all day long. She says she’s never been more committed to a workout routine in her life, and that the results speak for themselves! Each class brings a mix of challenge and fun that keeps her coming back for more—helping her feel stronger, more toned, and more energized. Beyond the studio, Pure Barre has become her “me time” postpartum, offering not just physical strength but also a boost in mental health, confidence, and overall balance. We’re so inspired by her dedication and the way she shows up for herself both inside and outside the studio. ✨ Here’s to celebrating every pulse, every goal, and every bit of progress that makes you stronger—on and beyond the barre! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6840a48a7389d547c1be39b0/0dfcee41-eda1-4c27-ac43-ccb42a77a137/image0+%282%29.jpeg Behind the Barre - Stories That Move Us: November - Joanna McLean This month, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our incredible members whose Pure Barre journey is not only inspiring but also deeply meaningful. Her story began in May 2024, when she came across a Pure Barre ad on Facebook while searching for something to help her reach her fitness goals. Gyms felt intimidating and other studios didn’t quite fit—but after chatting with Hillary, she realized Pure Barre was exactly what she’d been looking for. With a background in dance and a desire for a welcoming, empowering environment, she was ready when the Aledo studio opened in August. She joined with two goals in mind: to feel stronger in her body and to build the strength needed to care for her growing son. Her oldest child lives with epilepsy, and while it’s mostly controlled with medication, there are still times he experiences seizures and needs her support. “When he was 3 or 4, I could easily pick him up,” she shared. “But now he’s 10 and almost as tall as I am—I need more muscle to carry him when he’s unable to walk.” Thanks to Pure Barre, she’s making incredible progress toward both goals. Fourteen months after starting, she proudly joined the 250 Club—a milestone that reflects not only her physical strength but also her determination, consistency, and heart. She credits the 5:15 crew for helping her show up on days she doesn’t feel like it, and she loves the variety of classes, especially Define, for helping her build the strength she needs most. “What started as just a workout has become so much more,” she said. “I’ve found friends, community, encouragement, and a place that keeps me strong—for myself and for my family.” In honor of National Epilepsy Awareness Month, she also wanted to share a few facts to help spread awareness and understanding: 1 in 10 people will have a seizure, and 1 in 26 will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. Approximately 3.4 million people in the U.S. live with epilepsy—including about 456,000 children. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, or gender. Not all seizures look the same, and many people experience more than one type. People with epilepsy can do most things everyone else can—with the right safety precautions. If you’d like to learn more, visit the Epilepsy Foundation or consider taking Seizure First Aid Training to feel confident helping if someone experiences a seizure. We’re so grateful to have her as part of our Pure Barre family—and so proud of the strength, awareness, and inspiration she brings to our community every day. https://www.pbaledosfw.com/behindthebarre/restoring-strength-after-motherhood monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6840a48a7389d547c1be39b0/019d408b-4831-4b17-b51b-13cfebc3701c/ChatGPT+Image+Sep+15%2C+2025%2C+11_36_41+AM.png Behind the Barre - Restoring Strength After Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.pbaledosfw.com/behindthebarre/presleyk monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6840a48a7389d547c1be39b0/b44e3004-7ef5-4014-ba19-93fe4a5b6a1d/image0+%281%29.jpeg Behind the Barre - Stories that Move Us: Presley K. - Meet Presley!! We asked Presley to share how long she has been doing Pure Barre… “I started Pure Barre almost a year ago. I had been recently diagnosed with POTS and EDS. My doctor had told me to try to add in low-impact cardio and joint stabilizing exercises into my routine. I had been following mat Pilates videos on YouTube. To be honest, I was too scared to go to a group class. I grew up as the clumsiest, most unathletic human in a family of varsity athletes. The fear of failure and embarrassment kept me away from lots of physical activities and places. A neighbor ended up bringing me to a trial class, and it was hard, but I fell in LOVE! The teachers, the community, and the ability to modify and grow on a personal level all appealed to me.” What keeps you coming back to Pure Barre… “The community is a big reason I show up every day. I have to give a shout out to the 5:15am crew! Their continued support for everyone in the class had made Pure Barre feel like a family away from home.” How has barre impacted you and how does it help you beyond the barre… “Now, my POTS/EDS symptoms have been extremely minimized! I have fewer and fewer episodes, and I have to give barre a lot of the credit. Beyond health, I use barre to help with my cross training. I am a competitive Jiu Jitsu athlete with Savage Krav Maga in Aledo. Barre gives me the core strength, bodily awareness, and flexibility to keep me competitive in Jiu Jitsu. Even more recently, barre was once again recommended to me by my doctor to help rehab my torn knee. Beyond the barre and sports, I am also an active dog trainer. Barre helps me keep up with my crazy lab, all the foster dogs that come through my house, and client dogs! Barre helped me get my life back and continues to support me in so many ways. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had never picked up those sticky socks about a year ago. And I wouldn’t have stuck around if it weren’t for the amazing community and crew Pure Barre Aledo has to offer.” Presley you are an absolute rockstar, we love having you at the barre and look forward to seeing you every day too. :) https://www.pbaledosfw.com/behindthebarre/juditha monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6840a48a7389d547c1be39b0/e9969268-14f0-4fea-820d-f3d3ac85f6d6/Member+Spotlight.png Behind the Barre - Stories That Move Us: Judith A. - Judith’s Journey: “Pure Barre has given me a sense of community and I love the progress I’ve made in just 2 months!” Since joining Pure Barre just two months ago, Judith has found more than a workout—she’s found a space that feels like home. What keeps her coming back? The uplifting environment, expert instruction, and form-focused guidance that ensures every move counts. “I love the encouragement from the instructors and how they help with form to make sure we’re targeting the right muscles,” Judith shared. The 50-minute classes are the perfect fit for her schedule, and the unexpected bonus? “I’ve also made some friends through Pure Barre.” Judith’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the strength that comes from showing up, staying consistent, and being part of a supportive community. https://www.pbaledosfw.com/behindthebarre/learnthelingo monthly 0.5 2025-06-11
