Pure Barre opens its first Twin Cities studio on Saturday, April 14–but there are already a fair number of sore glutes and buttocks around the office today. Pure Barre is offering FREE classes today and tomorrow. Sign up here. There’s also an introductory offer–$99 for an unlimited month of classes.

We’re a little late to the ballet-inspired barre  fitness trend in the Twin Cities, but finally, studios are popping up around town, and fitness centers are adding barre classes, which fans of the workout say are “transformative.” Get the scoop, from our March issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine.
