During my visits, I experience good active customer service; employees are kind and attempt to be…read morehelpful (when available); passive customer service (clean towel availability, cleaning supplies on the floor as well as in the bathroom) seems to be improving more recently (particularly on Sunday, which, in my experience, tends to be the day most in need of active attention to passive customer service). The gym has plenty of equipment. In my experience, there are rare moments when sharing of equipment or waiting for equipment happens. The price of the gym is really good, particularly if seeking an international gym (a gym with international locations). There is not an Anytime Fitness in every country. Yet, after being able to access one on vacation about Tokyo, I think if one has an international itinerary involving a/ location(s) near an Anytime Fitness, the membership price is really good (even considering each location may different in offerings). Plus, the ability to access the gym on one's own, especially with the hours, is really nice. Even so, I prefer the physical key card than the digital card via cellphone. Members get about a 10% discount at Smoothie Kings. There is a common-public locker area where about 54 of the lockers are smaller and bring your own lock (BYOL). There are about 20-ish larger mini-lockers (non-BYOL) [each does not always have a key]. There is a bathroom for individuals that may be seeking bars with a seat in the shower. The other shower bath room has no seat though bars. Two bathrooms do not have showers. Automatic sprayers (air fresheners) in the bathrooms tend to be overhead near the doors. As a person that really puts in improving good effort to care for my overall well-being, I prefer not having chemicals (in this instance, from air fresheners) in my vicinity. There are non-toxic space fresheners.

There is a major issue within the staff and their unwillingness to help with your membership…read morewhether it comes to canceling or trying to provide any sort of explanation. Over the course of 3 months I tried to cancel my membership. I could never reach a human. During that time they charged me my annual fee. Eventually someone answered my email and canceled my membership. What they really did was sandbag me from canceling until they stole my money. They have admitted "their policies were terrible" but have "improved" but I'm currently going back and forth with someone over email who has yet to give me their name saying there is nothing they can do. Stonewalling me. "They can't do anything". YOU ARE A BUSINESS. You have the ability to work with customers and provide a refund. But you choose not to. I'm not going away. Going to corporate. Stay away.

Everyone knows everyone else's name. It's like Cheers but with less beer. Fourth, I've only recently returned to in-person workouts and I've been super impressed with the safety precautions. Overall, CFC is 10/10!!

The environment is not threatening; the workouts are not boring and yet they're not intimidating as cross fit (in my humble opinion, cross fit is); and you definitely get a great workout!

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.
