I have been with Meral for about 7 years. She is absolutely amazing. She knows how to protect your…read morebody from any pain points and issues while pushing you to exceed your expectations. She is upbeat and encouraging, but will nonetheless kick your butt, exactly what I wanted in a personal trainer. I am in my 50's now and as strong as I've ever been. Not only is Meral one of the best at what she does, but she is also kind, fun, and warm to be around. For someone who always feels better after working out but still always wishes I had a reason not to exercise, she actually makes it something to look forward to in my day. I can't recommend Meral more highly to anyone of any age or level. She can do it all!

I am very active but had fallen back into bad habits being at home so much. I found Meral and cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing. She is encouraging, really listens to your goals (and all your other prattling during your workout) and walks her talk. She can help you with nutrition, weight lifting, cardio and is willing to work on your timeline/goals whether a slow track to better fitness or a fast track to a deadline. Honestly, do yourself a favor and hire her. She is phenomenal!!

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!

I recently tried StretchLab for the first time and absolutely LOVED it! I booked online through…read moretheir website for a same-day appointment and then a member of their team called me to get a bit more info about my goals and provided me with additional info to prepare me for my first stretch session. I have not worked out or done much physical activity since I had a baby, so one of my goals is to increase my mobility and flexibility before just jumping back into exercise. She let me know that non-slip grippy socks are required which was good to know. They do have them available for purchase in store if you forget or need to get some. Upon arrival, I was kindly greeted and instructed to remove my shoes and get ready with my socks on. My flexologist was Mackenzie and she was wonderful. She walked me back to the stretch bench and began to explain the process and everything she was going to be doing. First, they have you take a quick Physmodo scan which involves doing some squats on a screen and it assesses your mobility, posture, activation, and symmetry. This tells the flexologist the areas that they need to focus on, and they customize each stretch session specifically to your needs. My scans revealed that I was especially tight in my hamstrings, neck, and hips. Then you lay down on the table and they begin to gently stretch your full body. Wow, it felt amazing and I didn't want it to end! It should never be painful and Mackenzie checked in with me often to make sure I was comfortable. It's almost like physical therapy. After my session, they provided me with more info on their memberships and pricing. While I really wanted to commit to a membership, I did have a bit of sticker shock. A single stretch session goes up to $115 each time or a membership is $299/month which includes 4 stretch sessions... basically one per week. I unfortunately just could not justify the cost, but I really did enjoy the experience. They have a $49 special for your first 50-minute intro session and it is 100% worth trying!

I called in ahead of time to make sure they were open (google said open 9-8). A gentlemen answered and said he wasn't there but another employee is there and I could get in with a day pass. I literally said "awesome, I'm on my way over". I get there doors are locked, garage is closed, there is a gate locked in front of the garage. I called the guy twice after I got there and he didn't answer. Why did I leave a 2 star versus a 1? I didn't get to experience the gym. So I can't say anything negative about their facility or atmosphere. What I can say is they wasted my time.

I received a free appointment at Stretch Zone Winter Park and I enjoyed it thoroughly. When I…read morearrived, Josie was finishing up with a patient, and shortly came over to walk me through the questionnaire. The establishment has an open concept so patrons are stretched out in the open. There are padded beds in a row towards the back. In the front, almost right at the entrance, is a desk. To the right of it is a waiting area. You take off your shoes when getting onto the mat and they do a great job of contacting you prior to your appointment to let you know to wear something comfortable (athletic wear preferred). As this was my first time being professionally stretched, I was a little shy about being in the public view, but Josie and I held conversation the entire session and this feeling went away. Josie is really good at what she does, and she made me feel very comfortable. I enjoyed the stretch and it was an awesome experience.

In addition, the manager, Mario, took three days to call me to discuss the issue, but I missed the call. I then returned the call later in the day and never received a return call. This place is terribly unprofessional and not worth anyone's time or money.
