You have had a difficult year and then most recently a real challenging time around Thanksgiving so your feeling are understandable. From what I have heard about Reform being so challenging, please don't feel bad if it was tough, seems like most everyone feels that way. Maybe just try to take a class for "me time" and not be overly focused on results and getting to 250. The waiving of your monthly fee is a good reason to keep going, even if it isn't real frequently.
I do agree that a nearby studio is easier to go to regularly.
I Googled Ubarre Groupon and the link is below, not sure if this is the same you mentioned but if so you could try it with the Groupon.

I found this one in Georgia...https://www.groupon.com/deals/pure-barre-go-on-demand. It's unavailable but I have it bookmarked. Figured I could make an account at that studio (I do not live near GA) when it's up again with a different email, just for Go.
There are so many different knee braces, but this one has been the best quality for the price that i've found on amazon so far. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LMKD3M4?ref=myi_title_dp
I have a Gaiam one that I use for at-home yoga or barre and it's good for that purpose--decently cushy, pretty & relatively inexpensive (around $25 on Amazon). My LuLuLemon one is awesome but I primarily use that for in-studio classes. The additional money is worth it for hot yoga because it stays super grippy even when wet. But if you're using your mat primarily for barre, a less expensive one should be fine.
I've used these (or maybe ones just like them) for barre at home for many years. They work just fine, especially for $4 each.

I found a comparable tube on Amazon. It’s like one tube with a foam connector in the middle but it works the same way for most of the stretches/exercises and comes in a lot of cute colors!
Vivoice Resistance Exercise Band... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019MVPZTI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Edit: crap, it’s more or less sold out apart from in red!!!!
I had been trying to figure out what ball would be best. I’d been looking at mini pilates balls but it was hard to find 6 inch balls with good reviews.
Finally I ended up happening upon this mini “playground ball” on amazon for...$4! Can you believe it? It didn’t come with a pump, but I got one from amazon for less than $10 and it worked great.
I’m so excited to finally be able to do some of the PBOD workouts that require a ball. I had tried to use a roll of toilet paper, but I ended up flattening it. This will be much better!
Amazon has many similar steps here is just 1 link:
The platform in class has bitten me a couple of times. Since it is rather small, if your foot isn't in the center it can capsize when doing Pikes from planks...It has given me a few good gouges in my shins.
Take a quick measurement at the studio for height and get a little bit larger one for stability.
I love Colorful Koala brand on Amazon and these might do the trick -- not quite the same as Lululemon Align but for the price, I am always impressed.

Here is what I use:
If you do an Amazon or Google search for "sock stop" a few other brands also show up. If you try any others, I'd love to hear how they go! I like this one because you can get it in various colors including clear and one bottle lasts a while for me.
Hope this helps!
If you like the current in studio wrist weights they are on amazon.
2 lbs. is what I think they weigh.
Here is a link for cheaper @ Amazon
Doesn't say Pure Barre but it looks like it.
Bring a tailors measuring tape to class, measure the circumference do the math for diameter and just buy that size ball.
Back when they were using the red ones, that was what I did and it was the exact same ball just without the logo.
I got this one https://www.amazon.com/Ballet-Barre-Portable-Standard-Stretching/dp/B0887WMSMS If you have a strong stable doorway in your workout area, it’s good. It’s not perfect, but I’m able to pull off of it even though I was really nervous the first I did it & kept thinking it was moving when it wasn’t. You also have to make sure it’s screwed tight. It might end up turning little when pulling off of it, so sometimes I tighten it more as I’m working out.
I use this doorway barre. I have had good luck with it, even pulling on it to sit in chair position.

For Empower I just use a step stool. The Spri platform that they use in studio is really hard to find. I once found it online but it was over $100.
Massage Gun Deep Tissue Percussion Muscle Massager,Kelices Handheld Body Back Massager for Athletes with LCD Touch Screen and 15 Massage Heads https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YV3NL43/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_BDNJ3PKZD5ZV9PM97QDD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It looks like it's went up in price. Totally worth it of massage guns are new to you!
Yeti probably won’t print it if they recognize the logo due to infringement. If you’re only ordering one though you might have a shot.
I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but the logo is super easy to recreate if you need to submit a vector file. The font of the logo is Glacial Indifference. You can download it here.
I bring my own mat to use for anything on the knees. It is small and when I'm not using it I set my ball on top of it. I store it rolled so it has kept that shape. It fits in my workout bag. We have people take out mats early in our studio and no one has ever said anything but I like my little mat as it's a bit more cushioned. Yoga knee pad
Glad others sent your the link to the store site. I got the old sized ball on amazon forabout $10

Depends how large you are talking about. I'm a 36G and for a firmer fit I like Shefit. I use their low impact bra and it's all I need for Classic/Reform. Believe it or not, my overall favorite is from Amazon . I like it as a regular racerback bra too.
Truly life changing. I use it on my entire body. Neck, shoulders, back, hips, quads, hamstrings, and calves. I use it almost every day. This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083L8RNJR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The one thing I can pinpoint that has helped me lose weight and keep it off has been using a smart scale. It records multiple metrics such as weight, subcutaneous fat, water intake, muscle mass, etc and provides charts of how i'm progressing over time as well as what range the number falls into for context. I use it each morning before I drink anything to get an accurate measurement. I don't focus as much on the weight number but on the fat numbers and it's been so fascinating to see how it fluctuates based on what I ate the night before or what lifestyle choices I made. As a result, its forced me to be more conscious of my decisions and helped me identify foods that have a negative effect on me. I definitely still indulge but seeing the actual data has been the missing piece!
I just want to add, the most recent cardio had a lot of lunging and squatting. I have really bad tendinitis in my right knee and it's definitely been a bit inflamed this quarter. I usually have a band like this that I wear that helps so much.
I just used one similar to this knee brace while I was working on my quad strength. Ankle brace for anyone looking for that, too.
I'm not in the US so the specific one I bought is probably of no use to you, but what I have is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N13NQ3Y
Does the trick for sure, but now that I've seen the boogy kicker I'm trying to see where I can get that around here.
I made a freestanding barre out of PVC pipes - the best thing about it is you can easily take it apart when you move or your wife goes back into the studio full-time!
I used this tutorial. I recommend buying a pipe cutting tool, since I had to tweak the pipe lengths during assembly.
I also spray-painted my barre a blush pink.
To keep the barre from shifting too much, I used four photographer's sandbags filled with small garden stones. I still need to have the base of the barre against a wall or large piece of furniture, and it's not sturdy enough to do certain moves like chair or waterski. However, your wife will be able to do 90% of the moves, and do alternate moves if necessary - and having a barre is lightyears better than using a chair!
The project cost $80.
Im so satisfied with my mounted barre!

I got two of these from amazon! Not bala but they’re near identical to the empower weights! The Cuff Deluxe-Cuff Weight, White 2 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BULOB6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_DoCUFbTR5TKB1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These are my favorite. I have alot of the colors they're the best I've found https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KYPR8M4 . My second favorite are Nike Dri-Fit Wilders but they only make 3 colors and they don't make them anymore but you can find them on eBay and other sites NWT.
I buy my sticky socks on Amazon. These are my favorite. I also second Poshmark; I buy most of my barre-themed tops on there.
Okay...former Lululemon employee here...these leggings (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QR8J3RD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) from Amazon are INCREDIBLE. They are similar to Align leggings, like really similar. Same seams on the inner thigh. They are way more supportive and smoothing, but still super soft and comfy. I recommend giving them a go. They also won't pill up as much as Aligns do. And if you don't like them they're Prime and also only $26!! Give em a go you'll like them.
My studio is around $18 per pair. Tavi Noir socks are so sticky though (doesn’t wear off in the wash) and way more cost effective. You can get them on amazon for $12 per pair or in a 2 pack. Here’s a link: Grip Barre, Dance, Pilates, Yoga Socks - Tavi Noir Women’s Savvy Non-Slip Socks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KRZ35BF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gsKsFb2FV41RK
I bought and installed a barre last month and it made all the difference. That and also getting a ball, some weights, and the double tube. I feel like I am more motivated to workout and the moves are exactly like at the studio. I’ve been doing a combo of live streaming and PB Go. I bought the barre from Amazon (Vita Vibe Single Bar Traditional Wood Fixed Height Wall Mount Ballet Barre System, 3 FT - 40 FT Long https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MQH85O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z72UEb762VWX8) and it was easy enough to install. I got a piece of wood from Home Depot (1” x 8”) drilled it into the studs in my wall and then attached the barre to the wood . It is solid, I can even pull off of it for stretches. I used to attend class 4-5x a week, but lagged when things shut down. Now that I have a great set up, I’m back to my usual frequency.
I got this towel from amazonin small. It is compact and has a cooling effect which feels great after class.
Amazon has some good options! These are pretty cool:)
