“The Barre Stronger Challenge is one of the most powerful expressions of our community and what Pure Barre stands for,” said Katelyn DiGiorgio, President of Pure Barre. “Each March, we see tens of thousands of challengers push themselves beyond perceived limits while supporting one another along the way. The participation we saw in 2025 is inspiring, and as we head into spring 2026, we’re excited to continue inspiring members to work toward their strongest selves.”

Members can enroll in the Barre Stronger Challenge beginning March 1 through the Pure Barre app and by signing up at their nearest participating studio. New clients are encouraged to start with a free introductory class before taking on the challenge.

Beginning March 1, Barre Stronger challengers can opt into a dedicated in-app challenge tracker to monitor their progress in real time. The tracker automatically reflects completed classes and provides an engaging progress experience.
