Apparently you have to be 5 mins early to your first class or they don’t let you in but they didn’t let me know that ahead of class

I’ve been going to The Bar Method for over a year now and it’s by far my favorite barre studio and format I’ve ever tried! The focus on form has really increased my mind-body connection and really made me feel like I understand what each exercise/move is doing.

It took a while for me to find a workout I truly enjoy like bar method. I love that there is an emphasis on form and positioning, rather than speed!

The best workout for supporting a strong lifestyle - with so many bonuses involved! I’ve been practicing with The Bar Method for 10 years and counting. I adore the hands-on teaching and fresh routines, which somehow always offer a challenge even if you take them daily. Above it all, the community is what makes the difference; the team and fellow clients at the Gold Coast location have become another set of support and friendship in my life. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend taking a Bar Method class. I’ve taken class at multiple bar studios over the years and nothing compares to Bar Method. They really care about form and while you don’t have a personal trainer it feels like you have one.

I was one of the first students of Bar Method Lakview when they first opened after a long hiatus, no longer dancing ballet and 1 bad ski knee injury I decided to return. Going on my second year now at the Gold Coast location it has been by far the best workout and strength building class I have ever had. My core strength is so much stronger and the muscles protecting my knee are rock solid. I am also obsessed with the new bar cardio and the 15 minute restore is a must class for me every Sunday. It is a workout and mindful therapy all rolled into one.

The classes are challenging for the most advanced clients but also accessible and welcoming to new clients. Even after doing Bar Method for over a decade, it still becomes more difficult and I get better results as time goes on. Instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, and it feels like family!

Always feel great after a Bar Method -Gold Coast class! The instructors are so well trained that you don't even realize the calorie burn until hours later. Thank you Bar Method -GC!

I’ve never been into fitness and I’ve found it increasingly difficult to stick with a workout routine… until I came to this studio! I’ve been coming faithfully about 3-4 times a week since I started (honestly, I averaged 2 times a week early on). I celebrated my first anniversary on New Year’s Day and look forward to many more!! Emily and the other instructors are truly wonderful and I love it when they correct my form ?. It’s been so lovely connecting with all the familiar faces in class. There’s a great sense of community here ❤️.

Loved The Bar Method!! Was visiting from CA and had time to stop in for a class. The instructor was very friendly and helped my fam and I with our form throughout class. The studio was spacious and clean. Not to mention, we got a great workout!! Will be back when I'm in town again!!

I was a client at Chicago Bar Method studios for about 3 years prior to COVID lockdown. I haven't been to a bar method class since 2020 mainly because I moved away from a nearby one and needed to save some $. I feel compelled to write a review after joining a lower priced gym in my newer neighborhood which offers "bar" classes. I love my new gym and classes, but the Bar Method is a world of difference!The Bar Method is excellent. The instructors are trained impeccably (even those whose personalities I don't mesh with are still excellent teachers!) and the focus is on YOU and your body's form to prevent injury and provide results. I read "Erin's" comment and warning to "stay far away" and can understand feeling badly - it's vulnerable to be in group settings working out, especially if it's your first time at a studio and you don't already belong. I think it's really important to get the context of the different Bar Classes. Bar Method teachers will call you out by name to correct you so you don't injure yourself and can get in the positions the correct way for the best results. Not so sure about the other Bar Classes, but I can say compared to a gym Bar Class, Bar Method is really outstanding.

Bar Method classes are a lifesaver for keeping me moving throughout the pandemic. Emily and all teachers are great. I am happiest when I do three classes a week now. Before COVID, I was lucky to do 2 classes a week. The best way for me to stay in shape.

A friend and I purchased a groupon to try the Bar Method and OMG am I sore today! The studio is very nice, clean and spacious with all the amenities you would need for taking a class before work or after work with plans after. They have showers as well as hair dryers and little odds and ends you wouldn't think to pack but always need to get ready. The girls who work at Bar Method are sweethearts, excellent customer service getting us set up with our groupons and showing us around the studio as well as giving us a lowdown as to how class runs. The class itself is excellent, fast paced but with extreme detail to form which is amazing! The instructor will come and adjust you and help you learn the correct form for ultimate results, which I'm feeling today! Great place, would totally recommend!
