I first started attending The Bar Method the end of January and I have so many things to say. Barre is a workout that is low-impact, high-intensity inspired by ballet, yoga, and Pilates. You build muscular endurance and strength through small, controlled movements and high repetitions The Bar Method Fresno offers a few types of classes from what I've seen: Bar Method, Bar Method Express, Bar Method Cardio Express, & Bar Strength Express. I signed up as a first time client with an intro offer they had going. $78 for 13 classes. I typically take the regular Bar Method or Bar Method express classes. Love the environment. The cues are extremely helpful and clear and all the instructors have been knowledgeable and correct you without making you feel so singled out. If you need child care they do offer child care during classes so definitely ask about that. All in all if you're looking to switch things up and open to taking a workout class I'd definitely recommend. read more

9/30/2025: I've enjoyed my first six months at the Bar Method. Each teacher seems to have their specialty which makes it nice to try everyone's classes. Because of my work schedule, I rarely make anything but the weekday lunchtime classes at 12noon which are the Express classes. I personally prefer the hour long, slower paced classes, but work prevents me from attending those. I've noticed that other than a few teachers, many start late and go later than 45 mins during the week, which is a challenge for many. I see as many as 50% of the class students leave to get back to work before class is finished. This could be handled I think if all classes started and ended on time? Cat seems to be on time every class I have taken. For my experience as a 62 year old overweight woman with multiple past injuries, my needs are different than probably someone who is 20-50 years old. That said, for my purposes, Cat has been the most proactive in helping me get acclimated, helping me with workout modifications and if something is hurting, helping me work around it. Today, I told her I had hurt myself in another class and she showed me a modification that really helped and prevented more pain. I got my on time 45 mins workout and was home on time. I will mention some of the benefits of the other teachers: Lisa - the hardest classes by far. She will straight up tell you this is going to be hard and it's going to be 50+ minutes instead of 45 mins. BELIEVE HER! Fine for a Saturday which is the only time I have had to take her class. Marissa - she was filling in I guess on Labor Day Weekend and I found her class very challenging but well balanced. Lauren - is recently back from maternity leave. Her classes last week were super full! I really love her music selections. Harmony - I have always had a good class with Harmony but I rarely see her during the week, maybe she teaches earlier most days? All in all, I had been prevented from doing my weekly gym workouts from an injury. Getting back into it and seeing all my clothes fit easily again is worth every penny and my dedication to going at least 3x a week and I probably should go 4x a week, but for a monthly membership of $170 it works out to about $13 a class which is very economical. ~ Ms. Ali read more

Bar Method has changed my life, when I am having a bad day it makes me happy. Not only do I feel stronger physically but mentally too. I love the bar method! read more

The Bar is the best workout I've ever had. Beautiful facility. Great instructors--just skip Kristin's class: she's hard to follow and unfriendly. But all the others are great. read more

I absolutely love the Bar Method! The staff and instructors are amazing. It's challenging and also something you can do as you get older. Susan read more

The staff was super friendly. It was my first class and felt right at home. They gave me a tour and the instructor gave me great direction and addresses you by your name. Super cute facility, very clean and classy. Loved the decor. Great amenities in the locker room for your convenience. Looking forward to my unlimited month membership read more

See all

I really like Jordan's classes. She was always on point and makes me feel comfortable. She has great information and fun stories!

Love this place! Amazing stretching and strengthening workout. Instructors go through a rigorous training program and it shows. Great for all levels of fitness. read more

This is my favorite workout!! The studio has fantastic instructors (shout out to my favs: Cat, Lisa, Kaycie, Autumn, Harmony, & Lauren!) and a friendly, helpful team. Lauren, the owner, is a gem and is such a welcoming presence. If you haven't tried a Bar Method class before, I'd highly recommend it! read more

A friend introduced me to The Bar Method 6 years ago and I have continued going because I love the various workouts. The instructors and staff are all helpful and friendly. It has been a great way to keep in shape and keep me healthy. read more

I liked the classes. I liked the instructors and the other attendees. Nice surroundings, comfortable. BUT When I tried to respond to emails to discontinue my participation in their program, the emails did not get through. I tried calling but due to my crazy schedule was not able to speak to anyone. While I was out of town, I received phone calls about my payment being overdue. This was before the due date of 4/8. Now on 4/9 I am not only being harassed to pay the regular payment, but a late fee! Speaking on the phone with employees - they are totally disregarding my view on the situation and want me to pay for the week of 4/1 to 4/9!! CRAZY. I recommend the workout, but DO NOT sign up with the program as it requires a written letter which is not readily available as their emails are only attached to their system - generated notices and are not able to be replied to. read more

I signed up for the new member deal of $85 unlimited classes for a month. Wow, what a deal! I noticed a difference in my body just after the first few classes. I love how they incorporate strength training (weights, push ups, sit ups) with all the leg work at the barre. I'm about 20 classes in and I feel stronger, my legs and arms leaner, my booty firmer and higher ;) Not to mention the instructors are all great, very encouraging and helpful. Check out Bar Method! You'll be so happy you did. read more

I can't say enough good things about The Bar Method! I bought a promotional package to try it out and was hooked immediately. It's unlike any other workout I have ever done and I have already started seeing results. The facility is beautiful and the staff are amazing. Classes are empowering and instructors are supportive for newbies like myself. I love that they offer express classes (45 minutes) early in the mornings so I can take a class and then head to work. Bonus points for the supplies they stock in the locker area for members to use if you're going straight to work- curling irons, hair spray, etc. They also offer childcare which is great for busy moms. I highly recommend trying it! read more

My review is for their cancelation policy. My wife tried it, said it was ok but wasn't working with her work schedule. They force you to give them a one month heads up before canceling and when you cancel they go back and charge you extra for the months prior claiming that you got a promotional rate. We were forced to pay for an additional month that was not used, $150 down the drain. Also if you don't make it when you RSVP they charge you $15 EACH TIME. I've never heard of any gym charging such a high monthly rate and additional fees like this place does. read more

Great place to challenge your muscles! Super clean and inviting. They offer water, towels, hair styling tools, sprays, mouth wash and wisps to freshen up after your workout. I love that a locker with a key is provided so you can stow your purse during class too. Class instructors are attentive and supportive to help you get the right postures and maximize your workout. It's a little pricey if you pay per class, but worth it if you want a full body workout that feels like a personal training session. It's a real value compared to personal training if you purchase unlimited classes and go several times a week. read more

I have done plenty of different workouts and have signed up with several gyms here in Fresno. This is by far one of my favorites. The women who work here are a breath of fresh air, and remember everyone's name! It's not just a workout, it's an all around great feeling experience where you interact with some wonderful women, inside and out. read more

Bar Method Fresno is pristine! Not only is the boutique gyms environment relaxing, and no doubt gorgeous I received and excellent challenging workout.

Such a great class! My legs definitely will feel it in the morning. Incredible instructor that was full of help/knowledge. Can't wait for my next one. read more

Great workout, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and always clean with a pleasant candle smell studio. This is the place to go if you want to get toned and in shape. All the exercises are targeting different muscles and there is a variety of micromovements to achieve a stronger, slimmer and leaner body. It is a full body workout and it works! read more

What a great addition in Fresno. Such a nice, professional work out by best trainers. Everything is new and clean. The stuff is always helpful and friendly. read more

Awesome studio! Instructors, staff and other students are super welcoming, friendly & knowledgable. No attitude whatsoever. The classes are tough and really push you but allow you to adjust to your fitness level. Highly recommend this studio. read more

The Bar Method is an absolutely amazing studio offering a full body workout with each class. Everyone on staff is so friendly and the instructors are so knowledgeable and care about you and helping you meet your goals. My very first class was with Jenny, who is the studio owner. She helped and encouraged me through my first class. It was love at first set of parallel thigh and she had me hooked! Lauren, who is also the studio manager and on the Bar innovation team, is so incredibly knowledgeable about the body and the workout. I have some health issues and have had back injuries that she has helped me modify the workout as needed and work though these issues throughout my journey to become strong and fit. If you're looking for a killer workout that will kick your butt in the best way possible then it's Brittany that you want. She'll get the job done! Although Kacey is also killer! I have a love hate relationship with her classes! I love Cat's classes and they are always fun! She's got a great personality and still gives you a solid workout! All of the instructors are great though and each have a unique style of teaching while delivering a quality workout. The Bar Method just can't be beat! read more

I signed up and really enjoyed the classes but wasn't able to go anymore due to my schedule not fitting with their classes and moving further away- I wasn't able to attend enough to make it worth the monthly fee. I understand they have a policy where you have to cancel three days in advance. I called on the day I was going to get charged and asked if they could at least pro-rate it and not charge my account for the full month since I would no longer be going. The girl spoke with her manager and said they couldn't due to company policy. It's unfortunate that they would take your money even though you can't make any classes opposed to being understanding that things come up unexpectedly and at least pro rate it. They also will charge you $15 for not showing up to a class you book even if you have an emergency and can't make it. So make sure if you sign up to watch out for these policies because they have no problem taking your money if for whatever reason you have to cancel or not make a class you register for. read more

My wife, Christie, raves about this place! She has been going for about 5mo now and continues to be impressed. The professionalism, the cleanliness, the structure, and of course the results! She has regained her physical and mental confidence after the birth of our son. Thank you Bar Method, even I recommend you! read more

I've been to several The Bar Methods and this one is so calm and peaceful. Its up to par with all the other fabulous locations I've been to. I feel like it's a great workout without the stress and obnoxiousness from the regular gym. The instructors are knowledgeable and identify when someone is struggling. It really is my favorite place to workout. read more
