Everyone is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. Instructors are challenging, while being supportive and providing motivation. I am not at all an expert, but I have never felt intimidated or left out in class. read more

Bar Method Brooklyn is fantastic. I've been coming here since it opened and it continues to somehow both challenge and entertain me. The teachers are trained exceptionally and somehow manage to give you personal attention to your form throughout the classes. The studio itself is filled with great people and they have really built a fantastic community. read more

I've been attending The Bar Method Cobble Hill since April 2017. As a former dancer/busy graduate student, the supportive environment and efficient workout has helped me reconnect with my body and get into the greatest shape I've been in in years! I highly recommend giving this place a try!! read more

Bar Method is amazing. Its been the best thing for my chronic back pain. It's totally changed my body and I feel like superwoman. The instructors are knowledgeable, energetic and so helpful. Try Sloane, Alyssa, Hannah or Paige! The studio is clean and lovely. I can't say enough good things! read more

I've been going to the Bar Method in Cobble Hill since a month after they opened. I love everything about the studio - from the moment you walk in the door, the studio staff is so welcoming and always make everyone feel comfortable, the studio is impeccably clean, and the instructors smile all the way through their difficult workouts. The classes are intense, invigorating, and change the way you look at a typical workout. If you really want to sweat it out, take classes from Sloan, Rebecca, and the owner, Katie. - Jessica L. read more

Bar Method at the Cobble Hill location is a community of support centered on fitness and health. The classes are challenging; they result in increased strength and flexibility. I look forward to every class! All of the instructors are very hands-on and provide specific and clear feedback so that each participant can improve form, maximizing each workout session. It's clear that this is an organization that values learning and application as the instructors continuously refine their instructions and technique. The periodic form workshops are evidence that they seek to improve outcomes for all participants. Here's a shout out to all the instructors that inspire my workouts: Sloan, Hannah, Silvia, Paige, Alyssa, Rebecca, Jose and Steffi! read more

Bar method is a great work out. period. low impact yet infinite in terms of how hard you can push your body, by definition (no pun intended!). if you aren't sore after every.single.class. then you might not be doing it right. Katie, who is the owner, is a fabulous instructor. other instructors can be a bit variable. the studio is a pleasure to visit, like all other bar method studios to which I've been. it shapes one's body faster than any other w/out if you go 3-4x/week. read more

Bar Method is my favorite of all the Bar classes I've tried. The teachers are dedicated to making sure new and old clients are doing the exercises safely and effectively. The music is fun and the pace is fast enough to give you a good work out but slow enough to make sure you're following correctly and doing the exercises properly. I highly recommend giving their one month new client special a try! read more

Favorite place to work out in the neighborhood! Like a second family. :) instructors are very attentive and correct you if your posture is wrong so you don't hurt yourself. read more

I love how energetic and encouraging the teachers are, i love the relaxed environment. i like how you get personalized adjustment suggestions throughout class. the variation in the classes is great too! it's also great to be able to bring my 3 yr old son to the play room while i work out! read more

Just wanted to update my review, in light of some of the other negative reviews here. I've now been taking classes at The Bar Method Brooklyn for 3 months and have had classes with most of the instructors - Katie, Sloan, Natalie, Michelle, Steffi, and Lauren - and they're all wonderful. I love coming to class, feel myself getting much stronger (I can do push-ups now!) and am seeing real changes in my body. Love this studio! read more

I've tried different barre classes: Pure Barre, Pop Physique, FlyBarre. Bar Method is the studio to stick to if you don't want to get injured because instructors are serious about form and technique. The other ones just move you as rapidly and tortuously as possible through different moves with minimal feedback to crazy, amped up music, which is a recipe for getting hurt. I do Bar Method in California, and decided to check out the Brooklyn studio on a work trip - it's super spacious and is like the other Bar Method studios I've been to: There is a consistency across all studios that I like. Front desks are manned better than at other barre places, the space is clean, and instructors learn everyone's name, which is a nice touch. In New York, I like both the Brooklyn and Soho studios! read more

I love every instructor and staff member at Bar Method Cobble Hill! I joined to get ready for my wedding and became addicted and still take classes even though the wedding is long over. I feel like I am part of a very supportive, happy community, and the classes are fantastic. I especially love the new bar express class. It is a very clean facility to boot. read more

I've been going to classes at The Bar Method Brooklyn for over 2 years and absolutely love it. It has transformed my body in the best way (lean, strong, more intuitive with my body). The instructors are excellent across the board - caring, precise and motivating. They all really know what they're doing and are passionate about sharing it with the people taking class. The workout is truly tremendous - my favorite of all the bar techniques - it gets better and harder the longer you do it, because it is very form based, rather than just about aggression fast-paced nonsense. I recommend it highly! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and very encouraging and attentive instructors that know how to personalize the experience.

I left bar method shortly after this initial review so I could focus more on yoga, but I returned about 8 months ago when I was pregnant. I'd like to share that this is an wonderful exercise program for pregnant women. There are modifications, teachers are very supportive, and it's safe and non-cardio intensive, while building strength in parts of the body that are useful for delivery and childbirth. I'll admit that main reason I returned during pregnancy was not these reasons, but because the studio is a 1 block from my home and it was just easy to go :) However, here I am 4.5 months post partum and sticking with it, partially bc of the convenience factor, but mostly bc I really feel like part of a community at bar. Let me say this: I'm not a joiner. But the warm, friendly vibe at Bar Method melts my cynical heart every time. They still always remember my name. They're so damn nice. My body is very different now and my goals are different; sometimes I feel very strong and take challenge options and sometimes I really do wimp out, esp during thigh work. They NEVER give me shit about this, but they encourage all the students to push themselves in a way that feels supportive without being aggressive. Lastly, I think it's important for people to know that you will see all body types at bar method, not just lululemon pants and pumpkin spice latte type girls. There are real, normal women AND men in these classes I'm very glad I've returned :) (can I get a bingo stamp now?) read more

Not the most challenging barre class I've been too. The studios are carpeted which seems like a bad choice with people sweating all over. Except there isn't much sweating so maybe it is ok. Barre instructor Erin could not even get my name right, which is usually a universal skill of all barre instructors. read more

I have only wonderful things to say about the Bar Method. The teachers are great and I feel so lucky to have found an exercise I love that's effective, fun and rejuvenating. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! read more

Classes, instructors, facilities! all awesome and top quality. Just as I would expect (and have seen) at all Bar Method studios in NY and CA :) read more

Super friendly staff and the instructors are amazing. They really care about you doing each exercise in good form. Highly recommend!

I'm reluctant to write this review because I love this studio so much :/. This is a great technical bar workout, the ab section is so much more back friendly than lots of other places (in part because of the supportive mats), the studio is SO CLEAN and bright, the people at the front desk and the instructors are incredibly friendly and nice and try to learn and use peoples names. Music is also good.... really not much not to like. Sometimes I feel like the arm section could be harder or heavier weights can be incorporated but overall I always leave feeling refreshed and like I got a good workout. read more

The first barre class I took was at The Bar Method and Steffi was the instructor. I have no idea at all how its gonna be. But Steffi made me feel comfortable. Everybody was nice and welcoming. The studio is very clean. I kept coming back after that. read more

I've taken bar classes in other studios before, but nothing compares to the experience I've had at Bar Method in Brooklyn. The staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. They are hands-on and are truly invested in making sure you get it. The facility is clean, which is super important to me. The workout is challenging (I even dragged my boyfriend to a class, and he admitted that it's a tough workout!) I've seen a huge improvement in my strength, stamina, and overall shape of my body. It's amazing! read more

Teacher was great! Very thorough, and a friendly atmosphere. Feels like you're in good hands, for beginners or advanced goers--the teacher will meet you where you're at and make sure you're doing everything in the most beneficial way. read more

Bar method brooklyn provides a solid work out for your entire body. the bar method has allowed me to finally achieve a longer leaner leg, something that despite all other sort of training had previously evaded me. The teachers are all thoroughly trained and incredibly motivating. read more

I love the personal experience of attending Bar Method--that everyone knows your name, that class sizes are relatively small and limited in capacity, and that the studio is clean and cozy and inviting. The teachers are incredibly helpful but also accepting, and they're great at helping you modify when necessary. I had to quit due to an injury, and I miss it all the time! read more

The first time I ever took a bar class - I vowed never to do it again. It was overwhelming and made me feel like I just couldn't hack it. Fast forward a few years, I bought a deal off Gilt and decided to try it here at the Bar Method; after all, this place has pretty great reviews. I'm so glad to say it lives up to the hype. I took a class with Steffi (who was so personable and warm from the moment I met her) and it was so empowering! Granted, I'm seriously out of shape, but never felt bad about not being able to do a certain exercise. She paid attention to every student and their forms and corrected it when necessary. This place is great and I'm really looking forward to my next class. read more

The staff is great--very welcoming atmosphere. Classes are challenging. Instructors are all very motivational and skilled.

Bar Method is a consistently excellent -- at every location I've visited -- Brooklyn, Soho, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Pasadena, Washington DC. The physical work out, the instructors, the studio -- a consistent high quality method that ensures high quality results. I have been a regular Bar Method devotee for over 6 years and can attest to its effectiveness. I know I can walk into any Bar Method anywhere and receive the same personal, high quality workout. Brooklyn is no exception and I highly recommend it. read more

The Bar Method BK is such a friendly, welcoming community. I feel like the instructors and staff really take the time to get to know clients and are always welcoming. I also appreciate that the teachers pay attention to everyone's fitness level and strengths and weaknesses -- I like that they really do know me and can push me just enough in a class to go to the next level, or notice when I'm doing something particularly well that maybe I wasn't able to do before. I appreciate that they are helping me develop all the time! I also really appreciate the devotion to form and safety. I have a Pilates background and TONS of injuries in my past, so I really do appreciate the focus on the best form in every class. I loved that some of the curl positions changed recently at Bar Method to be easier on the hip flexors and that the overall method is even taking that into consideration! Update: Bar Method Cobble Hill is the studio that finally got me to quit ClassPass. This is the only fitness community I need! read more

It's hard to know how to begin to explain how impactful Bar Method has been on my life. I used to be someone who just barely tolerated occasionally working out. Now, I'm someone who goes to barre class 3-4 times a week and can't stop talking about how much I love it to everyone who will listen. Bar Method does such a wonderful job of welcoming you into their community and making you feel truly valued as a customer. It warms my heart when I walk in and everyone knows my name - and I mean everyone, they have some sort of amazing magic trick where they can learn your name instantly! The classes are structured so that you'll work hard whether its your 1st or 100th class; the instructors are amazing at giving you modifications and challenges so you can work harder if you're ready to try. Plus, they're fantastic at giving you small corrections throughout class and explaining the positions (not too fast or too slow) to ensure you get your maximum workout. I've been obsessed since my first week in January 2017; I've been going regularly for about 10 months now, and I am constantly in awe of how these classes have toned my body and given me overall strength and energy. Bar Method is, quite simply, the best. read more

Whole-heartedly agree with the 5 star description "as good as it gets!"- really couldn't ring more true for the Bar Method Brooklyn studio. I've been a member since February 2016, shortly after I began searching for a new workout routine in Brooklyn. I'd heard of barre but had never tried it/didn't know what to expect. But I took one class and have been going 3-5 times a week ever since! Everyone connected to the studio is fantastic: from the instructors to the studio assistants to the owner, Katie, everyone is genuinely friendly and down-to-earth. It really feels like a community - with the added benefit of offering killer workouts. The instructors are all knowledgeable and really get to know you and your individual fitness level/challenge so they're able to push you where and when you need it. Some of the reviews mention not breaking a sweat: that has never happened in my case. I've found that the longer I go and the more I perfect my form, the harder the class gets. And I couldn't be happier with the results: I'm the strongest and most fit I've felt in years (and have dropped two clothing sizes since February). So if you're looking for something new or have been on the fence about trying barre, I highly recommend you sign up for a class at Bar Method Brooklyn - best decision I've made all year. read more
