It’s new year’s resolution time, which for a lot of us means resolutions to work out more, to get in better shape, and maybe even try something new in our workout routines. Well, the soon-to-open Pure Barre studio in Avon wants to make keeping those new year’s resolutions a little bit easier. But, first, a little bit about Pure Barre…
Pure Barre is a workout that combines ballet, Pilates, and weights to burn fat and tone muscles during a 55-minute class. During class, you use a ballet barre and perform small, isometric movements set to music.
Pure Barre (NOT to be confused with Barre Cleveland) has 100 studios across the country and is set to open the Avon studio on February 1. The team of teachers for the Avon studio includes one of my high school classmates, Maggie, so I’m definitely looking forward to checking out her class!
There will be classes seven days a week, with classes as early as 5:30am and as late as 7pm, to make before or after work classes easy to catch. You’ll be able to register for classes online by clicking here. You can also check out the Pure Barre Westlake Facebook page or email them at westlake@purebarre.com for more information. (Note: the studio was originally set to open in Westlake, but had to move to Avon.)
So, are you ready to check out this hot new workout spot? I certainly was, which is why I entered when Pure Barre Westlake had a Twitter and Facebook giveaway awhile back. In an incredibly lucky moment, I won both giveaways for a week unlimited pass! So, I chatted with Lori Standen, the owner, and decided to give away one of my passes. Lori then chipped in a bunch more prizes, so even more people can check out Pure Barre!
Here’s what you can win:
Grand Prize
One week unlimited pass, a Pure Barre tank top, and a Pure Barre reusable tote bag
Second Prize
One week unlimited pass and a Pure Barre car decal
3 Third Prizes
One free class pass, a pair of Pure Barre sticky socks, and a Pure Barre car decal (each of the three third-prize winners receives all items)
Here’s how to enter (leave a SEPARATE comment for each entry):
1. Leave a comment telling me your current favorite way to workout (mine is yoga…I know you’re all shocked).
2. Follow @WhyCLE and @PB_Westlake on Twitter and leave a comment letting me know you’re following.
3. Tweet this phrase and leave a comment letting me know you tweeted: I want to get fit in 2013 with @PB_Westlake and @WhyCLE and you can too: http://wp.me/p1fb9r-1c1
You can tweet once per day for additional entries. Just leave a separate comment each time you tweet.
The giveaway will close on Monday, January 7 at 11:59pm and the winners will be announced on Tuesday, January 8. Good luck!
***Disclosure: I won both Pure Barre Westlake’s Twitter and Facebook giveaways and donated one of my week unlimited passes to give away. The remaining prizes were donated by Pure Barre Westlake. I also received my own complimentary pair of Pure Barre sticky socks. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.***

I currently have been an avid runner for 2 1/2 years now, but I used to take ballet (10 years ago!) and I’ve been wanting to try something new so Pure Barre sounds neat!

I’m currently doing cross training a few times a week and it really works for me!
I follow you and PB__Westlake – and PB, if you’re listening you should change your social media to say Avon not Westlake – it could be confusing!
Running
I recently started doing Zumba at the Lakewood YMCA. Otherwise I do H.I.I.T. using cardio coach downloadable workouts (http://www.cardiocoach.com/). I don’t do either of these things as often as I should…
Clearly, running is my rave workout. But I love yoga as well! I’m pretty psyched to try some Barre classes though!
I already follow you on twitter, but now i follow PB_Westlake too!
Tweet, tweet!
Yoga as well
Would love to win! I was just looking at the schedule today but the price tag per class is tough for me to swallow. Would love to try it out and see if it’s for me!
I love to run! But also am really digging long luxurious walks on the treadmill lately while watching Homeland!

Sad I am just now seeing this! I heard about Pure Barre a year or two ago when the closest one was in Columbus or Cincy (I forget) and I was so excited to find out they opened one in the Cleveland area! I want to try it out sometime soon.
