Today we’d like to introduce you to Darby Akers.
Darby, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I purchased the studio from an amazing previous owner! I was 24 when I bought it, and I have grown so much in the past eight months! The studio is my happy place, and Pure Barre is something that has changed my life forever. Undergoing RA treatment, as well as a jaw joint replacement surgery all while running my own business has been challenging, but such a God-given blessing that I do not take for granted.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Absolutely not! But it is all about perspective. I was not happy in my previous job, and while this job requires so much more out of me, it does not feel as taxing! I love what I do, I love my employees, and I love our clients.
Please tell us about Pure Barre the Heights.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Nope. Not even for a second.
