Ashleigh M
My name is Ashleigh Martin and I have been a part of the Pure Barre Community since 2016. Prior to starting Pure Barre I was an avid runner and after having my daughter could not find a workout that was low impact but also challenging and provided me with the ability to tone my muscles that I was looking for. My sister brought me to my first Pure Barre class and when my local studio opened I joined. I was immediately hooked - the technique, the challenge, the atmosphere all kept me coming back for more. In 2017 I went to training to become an instructor and am now trained in three formats including Classic, Empower and Reform. My favorite class format is reform - the sliders and slowed down movements really emphasize the different muscle groups and make me feel so strong. When I am not teaching I am working as a full time Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, cheering on my NC State Wolfpack, or spending time with my husband, daughter and deaf dalmatian Marshall.
