Welcome to the Get Fit Guys' quick and dirty tips to get moving and shape up.

My name is Brock Armstrong and I am the Get Fit Guy.

In this episode of what I like to refer to as Undercover Fit Guy,

I once again dig out my fake nose and my fake mustache to infiltrate the workout craze known as Pure Bar.

My goal is to find out what Pure Bar is, how it works, and whether or not it is a good way to get fit.

According to their website, Pure Bar is a total body workout that uses the ballet bar to perform small,

isometric movements which burn fat, sculpt muscles, and create long, lean physiques.

Now, we'll get into my experience with the classes and my overall fitness impressions,

but first, let's have a little bit of background.

After I went undercover Fit Guy at Orange Theory, CrossFit, and Body Pump, I received a few

emails asking my opinion of Pure Bar, and I really apologize for it taking me this long

to get to it, but I finally signed up for two Pure Bar classes,

the classic class and the Empower class, both of which, I gotta say, left me pretty shaky and very sweaty.

But first things first, for those of you who didn't grow up doing some sort of dance class or other

and also managed to escape

watching TV shows like fame or bunheads, let's clarify what exactly a bar, not a bar,

is. It's pretty simple actually. The bar is a horizontal pole, usually wooden, like a staircase

banister, that runs at about

waist level on which ballet dancers or other kind of dancers rest their hand or their foot

for support during exercises. The bar usually runs along a wall, often with mirrors on it,

but it can also be freestanding in the middle of a room.

Okay, you got it? Good.
