A friend of mine had been raving to me how great The Bar Method is so I finally gave it a shot a couple weeks ago. I was very nervous to begin taking classes at The Bar Method as I am not in the best of shape and was worried that I really wouldn’t fit in here.
I must say that I love these classes! All of the instructors are so helpful, patient and willing to show or tell you how your body is to be positioned. It is amazing how a little adjustment can make a huge difference in your body. The classes are tough and you can really feel your muscles working, half the time my muscles shake like jello.
If you are looking to get into shape or perhaps add a new class to your workout, I highly recommend The Bar Method.

I’ve gone to Pure Barre in Evanston and abhorred it. This was completely different, even though it was the same general type of class. The community seems to be very mixed as far as experience level, which is a nice change since I’m just now embarking on a better fitness regimen. I didn’t feel self-​conscious being new and I felt very taken care of since i do have a recurrent lower back injury.
I’ll definitely be back and I’m excited to see their new studio later this fall!

I did the new member all-​you-​can-​bar $ 100 special for the month before my wedding, and y’all, I was FIT. It was such a great pre-​wedding workout, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The classes are very structured and focused, so I knew that I would have a full hour when my brain was focused on something other than planning. The small muscle movements are HARD, and I always left feeling pleasantly exhausted — plus I started noticing results basically right away. My main goal was just to feel like I had good posture and no back pain on my wedding day, and bar method TOTALLY made that happen.
Shelby is an amazing instructor, though the entire staff is so friendly and the space is really lovely. It was a great way to wake up! I only wish I could afford to keep going as often as I did all of February, though I know I’ll be back eventually. I miss pretzel, round back, and back dancing (though I do NOT miss arabesque. can’t win ‘em all.)

i exercise a lot and decided to check this place out to see if it would be a good addition to my toning routing. Well, the 1hr workout was so great, I hurt all over and can’t wait to come again. The routine includes toning of all major areas that one would be (potentially) insecure about: arms, legs, butt, abs. I expect it to be a great way to enhance my vinyasa yoga practice and increate my core strength.
The space is clean, well lit, the changing rooms are spacious. There are plenty of classes scheduled throughout the day to fit into most people’s schedules.

An amazing workout in a great facility. Wonderful teachers who guide their students through technique, all while challenging students to push themselves. It’s fun and a complete workout.
