Pure Yoga West

Best yoga and barre (Figure4) in the world. I’ve been a member for 8 years because the teachers are among the best in the city, and the class schedule is well curated and accommodates any type of day. Barre classes are the most challenging ones I’ve found anywhere. The studios and locker room / showers / steam are all beautifully maintained.

Gorgeous spot but I’m not sure if the room is truly hot enough. I prefer taking hot yoga classes where I’m dripping wet when I leave with sweat, but I never quite get warm enough at Pure. Still I love the instructors especially Matt and jackie

5 star barre classes and 4 star yoga. The barre classes (called figure 4) are the best in the city. I actually did these classes instead of physical therapy for tendonosis in my upper hamstring because it was cheaper and more effective than any PT I could find. Almost all of the teachers have serious dance backgrounds and are super knowledgeable about the body/anatomy. (Just make sure to tell them if you have injuries.) The steam room and showers are also great. The hot yoga is good but not on the same level as the barre.

Great place! Get your sweat on with your date by trying an acroyoga class together. You’ll bond on a completely new level emotionally & physically. Hopefully your hormones won’t cool down when the class ends

I have nothing negative to say about the studio and the instructors at pure. The facilities are beautiful and the classes are challenging. The 2 star review is simply coming from the fact that I didn't have a pleasant experience with the management at pure. I recently got a job in LA that is forcing me to relocate to the west coast. I emailed pure about my move and was told that I had to come in and cancel in person. I did so and then was told that I had to provide proof of employment in LA in order to cancel. I had my new boss, a private screenwriter in Los Angeles, write a letter explaining that I would be working for her in LA. I submitted it to pure and then was told that that was not adequate proof and the letter had to have a letterhead in order to justify a cancellation. Not only was their response insulting to my line of work and a massive inconvenience while coordinating a cross country move, it also baffles me why they would treat a paying customer like a liar. I had to go to my boss YET AGAIN to ask for another letter which she provided and I submitted to pure. I was then told that my membership would be cancelled and I wouldn't be charged any longer. Of course, here I am a month after that completely awful experience still being charged by pure and having to dispute the charges. As much as I loved the facilities and teachers here it has not been worth the customer service nightmare that I've had to deal with since. Save yourself and join modo yoga in the west village instead.

I’ve been and off again, on again customer of Pure’s for almost 4 years and I’ve always been really impressed by the quality of the instructors. They must be doing something right as in my time as a member, they’ve been really good at keeping their best ones which means that the classes are always consistent and I know what to expect. Of course, the atmosphere and studios are just beautiful and it puts your mind in the right state as soon as you enter. The only downside (at the upper west side location) is that their fitness classes in studio 2 are really loud and the sound intrudes into studio 3 during restorative and other quiet classes. They really need to soundproof studio 2, or take away the instructor’s microphone.

Pure is hands down the best yoga studio in NYC. Really great and highly qualified instructors, a wide range of classes from ashtanga to iyengar and vinyasa and of course a beautiful facility. The changing area is spacious and the showers with kiehl's products are super nice. I have tried literally every other studio and Pure wins (especially compared to yogaworks)!
