Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Smith.
Hi Rachel, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am Rachel Smith and I am the new owner of Pure Barre West Bloomfield. Born and raised in Michigan but moved to South Florida after college. I was working as a model signed with BMG Talent. I loved what I did, but I also didn’t love to work out. I did not really have much motivation for it. Enter in Pure Barre. I was hooked immediately and loved the way it shaped and toned by muscles. It wasn’t long after that I decided to become a Pure Barre instructor, which only made me fall in love with the barre technique even more. Fast forward 10 years, after teaching, managing, and pouring my heart into other studios, I finally got the opportunity to own my own studio. It is a dream come true for me.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The complete opposite. There were so many steps and approvals that needed to take place for me to get there. The process in total took an entire year.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Pure Barre is a full-body workout that transforms your mind and body. Our musically-driven group classes focus on low-impact, small movements that strengthen and tone your entire body in 50 minutes or less.

Class is set to upbeat music / high energy and taught by highly-trained teachers. It is for any age and fitness level. It is a full-body sculpting, toning, low-impact, high-intensity workout that is easy on the joints. Benefits of Pure Barre are increased strength & endurance, improved mind-body connection, increased core strength, improved flexibility, and balance.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Boutique fitness is trending upward every day. People want a smaller more intimate and personalized experience, that delivers results. Some people love the big box gyms, but a boutique fitness studio gives you so much more.
