Wow, where to start! The Bar Method is my absolute favorite place in the world for workouts…read more I started my fitness journey five years ago, taking CrossFit classes that never seemed to fit to me nor show any physical improvement for myself, and I wasn't sure why. A year ago I found out I have a connective tissue disorder that makes it incredibly hard for my muscles to be able to engage the way other people's do. My doctor recommended I try low impact workouts and that's when I came across The Bar Method. Right from my first class I knew this was the place for me! Every single instructor I have had in the past year (Liz, Shelby, Liz, Kate, Sam, Mariana, Jenna) has been incredible, not only at correcting my form when I was just starting out, but also at offering modifications when an exercise might've been too much for me. As someone with an "invisible" disability, one that affects every single muscle and joint in my body, I never thought that I'd be able to work out without pain. The Bar Method, and every single one of its instructors, has showed me that movement isn't supposed to be painful. I do not have enough words to describe the impact this studio has made to my quality of life. Even on those days where my disability is too much, I never skip a class because I know that there are still ways to give it my all, with modifications and taking it slow. If you're thinking about trying The Bar Method, be ready to experience a life-changing workout in an amazing community.

The class instructor named Jen was so motivating during the class. I loved that this class was more intimate. Other cycle classes I've done in the past were more intimidating because there were 100 people in one ride. But for this class, it was only 7 of us and the room looked like it typically only holds up to like 40 anyway. The facility was clean and organized. They had a purified water fountain system to refill your water bottles. Everyone that worked their was kind and engaging. I definitely enjoyed my experience. Keep in mind that there's no dedicated parking lot, just street metered parking nearby.

It was easy to set up an account online and schedule the class. Once I arrived, I thought it was so cute that they add your name to the lockers for newcomers. Such a sweet welcome from the staff as well. The class instructor, Nina, was amazing. Great energy and diverse music choice! After the class, Abbie told me about the memberships and class rates but wasn't pushy, which I really appreciated. Would definitely visit again.

Couple cons: Wish they had 5:30am classes Monday through Friday for us working and commuting folks who only have that early AM slot & can't make it after work. That limited early AM schedule is definitely the main reason me & a few friends may ultimately not continue our memberships. And wish some of their instructors teach the boxing routines a bit better instead of rushing through it once & never repeating the sequence. Gotta remember some folks have never boxed before. But otherwise the fusion of boxing and weights give you a perfect balance for a full body workout. And the music is A+! If you like working out in a dark room, with loud music this is definitely the place for you!

Upon arriving you're greeting super friendly by the staff, they make you feel super comfortable. Sign up for what you're looking for (spin, grit classes, etc) and put your things away.

I was a beginner and he did a great job and showing me the poses as well as adjusting the height on the bike. I did a 45min class, it was intense but I made it! Keep pushing through and with the instructors motivation you'll make it! Remember to breath! I would definitely come back here, it's great for beginners !
