We had the good fortune of connecting with Bekah Harper and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bekah, what do you attribute your success to?
Passion. But most importantly, Hard Work!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I became passionate and committed to fitness and health around the age of 18, and haven’t looked back since. It began with humble work outs at home, ranging from Pilates, HIIT, Ballerina Work Outs, you name it!!!…all combined with my love for running. Once I found Pure Barre in my 30s, I was immediately hooked on the technique, the community, the entire experience! Within 6 months, I was teaching Pure Barre, and about 18 months after that, I became Lead Teacher. Fast forward to today, my daughter is grown, and I was in need of a challenge. I am beyond fortunate that I am able to turn my vocation into something bigger. We are still new to Jersey Village, but the trajectory is looking very promising, more importantly though, our community already makes my little heart pitter patter. The bond I create with clients, helping them through their journey is priceless. Same is to be said for watching new friendships blossom and flourish within our studio walls. It’s an exciting job!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Although I commute to Jersey Village, I live in The Woodlands, where we would without a doubt go see a concert at Cynthia Woods Pavilion, followed by some drinks at Tommy Bahama’s, and shopping in Market Street. Waterway also has a great nightlight, complete with the rooftop bar Rose. Nothing beats casual, but exciting nightlife in the Heights off of 19th Street, where you can catch rows of bars with great food, music, and entertainment as well, all within walking distance from one another. Galleria area is a must! The best shopping awaits, and more restaurants than one can imagine to refuel. Perhaps a glitzy night at Hotel Zaza and Flemings for a delicious filet. Rest and relax at Four Seasons for a pool day, which is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the House of Blues, where we can catch an even smaller music event! Must make time for Pure Barre Jersey Village and RIDE, indoor cycling as well!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My daughter, Kaylynne. She has been, and always will be the reason for all my inspiration. In addition to my bond with Kaylynne, the experience of being such a young, single mom has taught me an inner strength I may have never tapped in on! I’m so grateful for her, and the true power she has shown I possess. We all do. You just have to really want it!
