Pure Barre Boston with Laura

Last night I made my first visit to Pure Barre Boston (PBB) with my friend Laura.  We both got a GiltCity deal for 3 classes.  I was tempted to buy the new client deal of $100 for a month unlimited but I thought it might be a good idea to try out the studio first.  I’m trying to be good with my resolutions-especially the one to be better about using up my deals as well … [Continue reading]
