What’s the difference between PureBarre and CycleBar? According to an Aspen Peak interview with Jordan Bullock, who “who rebooted Pure Barre and CycleBar under one roof”: 

Pure Barre is music-driven: ballet, Pilates and yoga all mixed into one. We hold on to the ballet barre to do small isometric movements using body weight, separated by long stretches, working each muscle group to fatigue. It’s doable for all ages. I think our oldest client is 85.

CycleBar, emotionally, is like church. We turn up the music. Sometimes the lights are out. There are candles. You’re sweaty, pushing yourself to your limit. You can race and be on the leaderboard or go at your own pace.
