I checked a Pure Barre in my HCOL area, and it's $225 for one month, unlimited. Maybe the rates are set by the PB corporate folks and don't adjust up or down based on location?
I had a membership at Barre3 last year for about 4 months at the grand opening rate, $150/month. I loved it, and when I could go 2-4 times/week I thought it was "worth" it. But, my schedule got too crazy, and I wasn't able to go often enough, so I gave up the membership. It's now $225/month. I expect most people buy packages of classes, which seem to work out to be $20-$25/class. Still too much for me, sadly.

living a crazy life with 3 boys
I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;
I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.
