The best Pilates studio in town! The instructors are…read moreextremely knowledgeable in how each movement impacts the body. They keep an eye out and provide alternative movements for anyone with an injury or want to go with something less strenuous. The studio is well located in Maitland, on a main road. It is in a small strip plaza with parking out front, to the side, and in the back. Classes can be easily booked using their app and they offer a variety of memberships. The studio has about 12 participants per group class but there's also a huge room in the back for private lessons. The environment is definitely more calm and welcoming than other Pilates studios in the area. I think it's easy to be intimated by trying Pilates for the first time but the instructors take care in noting if it's your first time and will assist you in any way needed. Love how both of the bathrooms are stocked with feminine products and hair ties! There's also a kitchenette that has snacks and drinks sometimes as well. All the clothes, socks, and other products at the front are so cute...I just bought a new pair of grippy socks and I've gotten so many compliments on them. One of my favorite things about Soteria is the community that they've built. There are consistently events and the teachers put in the effort to build rapport with everyone in the class. I've actually made a few friends through the classes. I've gotten questions on what my workout routine is too and it's all been due to Soteria Pilates! I feel less stiff, tighter in the core, and mentally more balanced when I'm consistent with going to classes. Notables: I love Renee, Katie, and Gianna's classes. The owner and front desk/admin Jess, Chelsea, and Cici are all extremely nice too. I recommend Soteria to anyone trying to do Pilates!

I started off taking the free classes offered on Saturdays in the square at Winter Park Village. I…read moreeventually signed up to take classes in studio. Patricia taught my class and let me tell you, these small incremental moves really do pack a punch. Days later my legs were still jello. She was so kind and was great a cueing. I love when an instructor isnt judgemental but is helpful and inspirational and she was all of those things. The women in class were nice. It seems like many of them have been going there snd are familiar with one another. After class a few women made it a point to talk to me and made me feel welcome. It gives off a very community driven location which is something we should all be looking for in a fitness studio.

In May 2024, I attended an Open House beginners class (they have one of these every month), which…read moreis led by the owner Karen. They had an intro offer (at that time was 2 weeks unlimited for $49) with an additional $10 off if purchased that day, which is activated on the first day of use (whatever date you choose). Plus raffles! As of May 2025, their current promo is 1 month unlimited for $78. Officially became a member on July 2024. The Bar Method is the first and (so far) only place that has motivated me enough to stay consistent with a workout routine. Before choosing The Bar Method, my workout buddy and I had tried other Barre/Pilates places. What made me choose The Bar Method over the others to start: -the amazing promos and affordable pricing; have to be mindful with budgeting in this economy y'all (send me a message if you want a comparison chart LOL fr) -honest; transparency with pricing and information, unlike some others -flexibility; there is NO membership sign up fee, there is NO membership cancellation fee, there is NO minimum commitment, they allow membership freezing for up to 3 months (just let them know the month before) WITHOUT a freeze fee for 2 times a year, there is no penalty for class cancellation 2 HOURS before class starts (there IS a fee if you cancel after this window and/or if you no-show, but you can call before class to explain if there is an emergency and they are understanding in these cases), and you can come to class 10 minutes late max (DO NOT make a habit of this tho!! I only mention this because other places lock their doors as soon as class starts) -variety of class start times; 6am-5:45/7pm M-Th, 6am-12:15pm Fri, 8:15-10:30am Sat, 9:30-11:30am Sun as of May 2025 What made me stay: -"low impact, high reward"; this is in their website and it is true, you feel the burn/shakes/soreness without doing exaggerated movements and you WILL get a WHOLE BODY work out while they guide/direct you on proper form as well as emphasize strategies to ensure your joints/back are protected at all times -improved overall strength, balance, posture, and mental health; the Bar Method has truly become my happy place, plus my knees no longer crackle-pop while climbing up the stairs! -variety of classes; bar method, cardio, strength, bar flow (like yoga), then some include restore (stretching) and some combos (30/30) -ALL of the instructors, which includes the owner; they know your name by your first class and onwards, are genuinely nice, will challenge you in the best way possible, and celebrate YOU (such as class milestones/your birthday) -the community; you truly feel like a part of the Bar Method Family Fun bonuses: -happy hours -special member classes every so often; sometimes themed -monthly challenges and raffles; I love me sum free socks and goodies heehee TL;DR, I love the Bar Method and you will too. Give it a try!
