It's about time I left a review for The Barre Code- I have been raving about this place to my…read morefriends and family ever since I discovered it through ClassPass in August! For the longest time I had told myself I would start some sort of fitness routine but I had never found anything that I enjoyed enough to stick with. I've tried a few barre classes at other studios before finding The Barre Code, which is truly unlike any other studio I've been to, and has motivated me to actually want to work out. My favorite part about The Barre Code is that the classes are held in studios with dim, blue/pink lighting. It makes me feel more comfortable because 1.) it's dark enough to not feel every physical insecurity being perceived by others, 2.) bright enough to still see and focus on yourself, and 3.) it feels almost like a bar/club with the upbeat music and fun lighting, which puts me in a good mood to feel MOTIVATED to move around and do the workout. I have loved every single instructor I have taken here so far, they've all been extremely welcoming and helpful with correcting my form and offering modifications to make the workouts more or less challenging. Bridget, the owner, is also really sweet and I can tell she is passionate about her studio. I also like the variety of classes they offer (I recently tried Brawl for the first time and that was such a drastic change from the Barre classes I'm used to; I look forward to eventually trying Lift+HIIT and Sculpt+Flow as well)! I know this is a super long review but I just wanted to share my experience and encourage others to try a class out at this studio (if a standard Barre class is intimidating, try Barrestore!). I've been returning for 2 months now and could see improvements in my body's physique and stamina during the workouts. 1000/10 would recommend a million times over

First time trying Pilates with one of my girlfriends who is a pro, well she has a reformer at home…read more I was hesitant and nervous. I usually prefer workouts like really get my heart rate up and get me sweating. I hate yoga. Didn't know what to expect. Knew there'd be a lot of stretching. Was very pleasantly surprised with the intro class. It was very brief, like 20 minutes. With 10 minutes of explaining what Pilates is where it comes from and what the goals are. The workout was great even so short I felt like I worked towards my body. I definitely haven't worked on in years. And I definitely enjoyed the class. Now I'm four CP reformer one classes in with two different teachers and I'm loving it. It's my new attitude and hobby three times a month. Something to stretch me out once a week. The specific studio is small, but clean and safe. Always lots of paid Street parking. They locked the doors between classes. I love the convenience of booking online. They have occasional monthly deals for classes. Some of the instructors are more organized than others so you feel like you get more done during your 50 minutes. Some more laid-back, go right into one thing to another, but I feel like maybe expect you to stick to their class every single week so they focus on only limited parts of the body instead of total body workouts. Still, I've enjoyed every workout. I've been to and have felt it definitely the next day.

Let me start off by saying the staff was super helpful and friendly, the location was clean and they had everything you need. Clean bathrooms with amenities, water and storage lockers. The instructor KILLED the class! He was high energy and super nice! He made the class easy to follow and I got a killer work out! It went by so fast before I knew it I was on mile 11. I've gone to many cycle locations before and this one by far was the best. I have a cycle bar in front of my building and this is one about .8 miles away but I will be joining this one as it was a great event. I got the chance to meet our yelp manager Alex and he was super friendly with great energy! I will be back!

I am hoping that it was a glitch in that damn weight scale machine which it probably was because all I ate was a plate of the typical Thanksgiving food, plus one-half of a whole apple pie, hehe. And it probably did no justice skipping a few workout days, too. I was excited for this opportunity because CycleBar has been one of my bookmarks for sometime now as I'am secretly seeking out a spin studio. And out of a list that includes Studio Three, SoulCycle, and Cycmode, its location fits perfectly because it sits within a 3-mile radius from my apartment and easily accessible via CTA Morgan - Green line. Visiting CycleBar for the first time, it appeared smaller than I imagined, yet clean and well-kept! And prior to the start of our spin class I peaked inside the restroom which had this homely-like touch. The studio itself had an amazing appearance and I loved that our workout results were visual because it motivated me to put out extra effort near the end. Oh, and being a road cyclist, I felt well in my element wearing clip-in bike shoes, clicking in to the pedals on the spin bike. The spin class was wonderful! And the instructor, Jaxson was energetic and encouraging. Being that I had not taken a spin class in sometime my rhythm was terrible despite enjoying the music in the process, but I still had fun and hung in there. Not bad, CycleBar! After the workout my legs were so stiff that I struggled walking up the stairs at CTA Morgan. For that, thank you, Jaxson ~Blessings all~ Thomas G

Right before she was moving to New York, I figured I'd come here to support her for couple classes before she moved out of Chicago. I fall in love with this place by only taking one class. The owner Lindsay is so nice and welcoming. If you get lucky, you will see her cute dog Louie waiting to cheer you up in front of the studio. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and they remember your name. They won't call you out to correct you over the mic but would come and correct you in person without making you feel embarrassed. I never thought I would like waking up every day to go workout. I wake up so early even on the weekends. I usually take 8am classes on weekends and 9am classes on weekdays. It's a good way to start your productive day!
