I went to the one in Darien but it's the same owner. I wish I could give zero stars. The owner of…read morethis company Feliz refused me from the class because I am pregnant. I am in my third trimester and I've been working out the entire pregnancy. I have taken Pilates many times before. It was my first time in the studio. However, there is nothing on their website that refuses people for medical reasons. In fact, I feel discriminated against because of my pregnancy. Would you refuse someone for being mentally handicapped or someone with another physical disability? I'm pretty sure that is illegal. Very poor customer service. If you are a professional teacher, you should be comfortable teaching anybody. I've never been refused for my class before. Wasted my whole morning driving up to Darien.

I barely break a sweat when I do pilates, this workout was intense and felt great. Noreen was very helpful for my first class. I definitely felt sore the next few days but cannot wait to go back. **They have been open in Darien for a while but the first time I tried was in their new Westport studio.

I believe all the teachers are amazing !

Sharon and crew are the best! I've been coming near weekly since 2021 when I was on the mend from…read morea knee injury and their classes have really changed my life. I started out attending private classes with Sharon mid-pandemic and eventually progressed to group classes. Now my weekly favorites are tower class with Sharon and barre class with Andrea. You really get the feeling that teaching is their calling and they love what they do. They have a way of making "hard work" fun and really can read - and if necessary - adjust your posture or poses to maximize the impact on a muscle group. It's almost like Sharon has a sixth sense for those things! Any time I go to a class it boosts my energy and spirits -- and any time I miss a class, I feel like there's been a loss to my general well being. I can feel my body changing and strengthening for the better each week and I'm truly glad that I made the choice to join the Pilates-Barre studio!

They're great, but I was really concerned about my technique and doing the exercises correctly. I was thrilled to hear that BM had opened in Fairfield. The studio is bright, lovely, and clean. Staff are positive and always remember clients' names. (I'm terrible with names, so this is really impressive.) All of the instructors are excellent too! They're very knowledgeable and focused on their students having correct technique. If you're thinking about trying a barre workout, definitely check out Bar Method. It is VERY challenging and you'll feel AMAZING afterwards. The only drawback (for me) is that the studio is about 30 minutes away from where I live. However, the workout is so awesome that it's worth the drive.

First, the disclaimer. This is not a review of the studio as it is not open yet. However, Bar…read moreMethod Fairfield offered preview/community classes this summer and I took about 8 of them. I've been active my whole life, although less so for the last 4 years. Bar Method is an entirely different approach to exercise than anything I've done before. The focus on Bar Method is on small (tiny, even) isometric movements. By the way, "isometric" means "same length" and an isometric movement is one that engages your muscle without contracting it. For more information, the Bar Method founders blog is a great source: http://blog.barmethod.com. It was developed by a dancer and with the help of a physical therapist. I actually recognize a lot of the movements from when I did physical therapy for my back almost 15 years ago. Bar Method is completely different than any other workout I have ever done. It took me about 3 classes to adjust to the new positions and the flow of class, and for the first two classes I questioned whether I was getting a good workout. However, the day after class as soon as I got out of bed I could very clearly tell that I had. I wasn't really sore the way I am after lifting weights or running or anything else. Instead, I was a little bit achey everywhere we had worked. I could FEEL that my muscles had been worked. Over the last 5 weeks, I've noticed some changes that I really attribute to Bar Method. My arms are more defined, the shape of my legs is changing. I'm also sleeping better than I have in a long time. If you, like me, walk out of your first and second classes thinking "Eh, I'm not sure" I'd really encourage you to go back a few more times just to make sure you're not missing out on something that you really will click with if you give it more time. Through classes this summer, I had the chance to meet some of the Bar Method teachers. Bridget is the owner and has been teaching for a while. She clearly knows what she's doing in class, and has authority in her voice that makes you not want to quit even when whatever she has you doing is really tough. Stephanie is one of the other teachers and she is very encouraging. There's at least one more teacher who is still in training
