Although I HIGHLY recommend Pure Barre for an amazing workout and wonderful community, I would avoid the Parker one as if your life depended on it. The instructors are beyond wonderful, the owner, Lanie, is another situation entirely. I returned home from a trip this summer to find 8 women terminated from PB, with 0 explanation. Who DOES that, you ask? EXACTLY. Everyone is STILL reeling from the shock and to this day, not a single one of them understand what happened. 8 women who I, personally, have worked out with every weekday for over a year now, so I KNOW are some of the kindest people I know. These women have been there for YEARS. Although I can't keep up with the exact number of terminations that have now taken place overall, in addition to these 8, because it feels like there's a new one daily, I'm guessing at least 20 that I know of since Lanie took on ownership. It is MIND BLOWING. As a result, I have also put my resignation in, as have many others. These occurrences have brought hurt, anger and especially fear as to who will be next. It has all been an EXTREMELY hurtful experience for so many REALLY good people and I simply can't belong to a community that treats their paying clients this way.
