Pure Barre Studio To Open In Former Guvnor’s Space

Pure Barre, a fitness studio chain focused on the trend of using a ballet barre in a workout, will take over the space at 178 5th Avenue, between Sackett and Degraw, that was most recently home to Guvnor’s, the vintage shop that closed earlier this year.

Though there’s no indication of the incoming studio at the storefront currently, the address is already listed on their website, and they noted on Twitter that it will be opening “very soon.”

According to its site, workouts “utilize the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music.” There are franchise locations around the country, including two others in Brooklyn — in Cobble Hill and Williamsburg — and two in Manhattan.
