I've been going to BM miami for a few year and I'm obsessed. I can't always afford classes but I adore that they have promotions. Right now they have $79 unlimited classes for one month and I make sure to always catch the deal. They've moved locations so it's a little bit harder to find, but now there's parking! Woohoo! Free for the first hour so you better be quick! They always have lockers, hygiene products internet he bathroom, and SUCH friendly and helpful staff. I can't wait to go this week! My butt always looks amazing after doing bar for a while and my mind feels clearer as they mix pilotes, ballet, strength training, and yoga in one workout session read more

Wow !! This place is awesome , really makes you work hard and you feel it immediately. I love how cute the studio is , it's very clean and adorable. The instructors really pay attention to you and make sure you work out the right muscle also the correct posture. It's super worth it . Am totally in love with this barre method . So for now let's just say I am retiring from squats because I plié from now on ;) read more

I am completely hooked on The Bar Method! A few weeks ago I stopped by a couple of times using class pass and found myself itching to come back! I decided to sign up up for the New Member Trial and am so pleased that I did. This workout is TOUGH, but the instructors make it extremely approachable. They take time to learn your name, and will visit and coach you throughout the class to make sure even the most inflexible folks (like me) are in the right positions. After my first classes, I was sore in places I wasn't aware existed! I've been going to the studio 4-5 times a week and every class is always a bit different. Your legs will shake, you will challenge yourself, and when you finish you will feel a great accomplishment to start or end your day. I find myself being able to go a little bit lower each class, and ALMOST able to do a full round of push ups on the balls of my feet. The customer service from the team is wonderful, and as a newbie you don't feel intimidated at all because they are so welcoming! They also provide free onsite lockers with keys which is awesome, as well as a bathroom and place to change if you're headed to work after. Last but not least, it is impeccably clean! This is totally worth the hard work! I already feel changes in my posture and core strength and I can't wait to keep coming back! Thank you Bar Method for helping me find a workout I look forward to every day! read more

Studio is upstairs, just press the button and they buzz you in. VIP style! When I walked in the barre studio I got that warm fuzzy feeling inside. It was soooo clean and welcoming! They have grey plush carpet on the floors that just make me want to lay on it. They have all the equipment needed for the workout. All you need to do is grab a couple weights at the beginning of class and they handle the rest. You really do feel catered to at The Bar Method. There's a couple of windows in the studio bringing in light and a small view of Sunset place. No showers from what I could see but they do have two bathrooms and lockers with locks for your convenience. Bathrooms have most toiletries Incase you forget something. Love working out here!! Only Con: street parking...Cost is minimal but sometimes a little tedious to find. Instructors, staff and clientele are all great! Price for membership is fair for the area and type of workout. read more

Want to supplement your cardio or strength training workouts? Want to increase your flexibility? Want to increase your muscle definition? If you answered "Yes" to all these, then you may want to check-out The Bar Method. The isometric exercises are designed to strengthen your muscles and increase your flexibility using your own body weight and a ballet bar. Movements are repetitous and the transitions between positions are fast. The only rest you can expect to have is when you are in stretch positions, which may help elongate muscles and prevent lactic build-up. The studio itself and the workout rooms are modern, sleek and immaculate. The instructors are great. I've taken classes with almost all the instructors and all are great, providing individualized correction and encouragement. (Five stars especially to Susan Lee who is super encouraging and warm.) There are two rooms for students and class sizes are capped so that instructors can help you with proper form. As with most anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. To see results it's suggested you go to 3-5 times a week. This will be somewhat challenging if you don't live near South Miami. The studio offers some free classes on Wednesdays and Saturdays that you may want to take to see what classee are like. They offer various trial and membership packages so ask about these if you decide to go. Finally, always check first with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. read more

The Bar Method - South Miami - These classes will certainly do this. - Barre Classes Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Whoooaa what a workout. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a crossfit-like intense workout. But, it got me sweating, panting, asking, "when is this over?!" The workout focuses mostly on your legs, but their is a brief arms set at the beginning and a brief abs set at the ending. My legs were hurting for days and I was burning calories hours afterward. Great workout! read more

I honestly really love this place! I decided to come here after not working out for a long time... And they made me feel right at home. The first few classes are super hard, but once you get into the swing of things your strength builds and it becomes a lot easier. I have taken classes by pretty much everyone at this point! They're all amazing and change minor parts of class so it's always new and exciting. I bought 1 month unlimited for $100, and on week two I've already lost an inch around my waist. You'll see results in as little as 4 weeks if you're eating well and going 5-6 times a week! I love the bar method and their staff and will be a customer for life :) read more

I wish I could review the actual workout, which I'm sure is great by all of the positive reviews. But, unfortunately I never go to do it. I signed up using Class Pass and gave myself plenty of time to drive down to the South Miami location, but unfortunately I spent 10 minutes fighting with the parking machine. I wound up being 2 minutes late and they absolutely wouldn't let me in because I am a new client. I understand that new clients need special attention, etc. But, as a new client I also don't want to feel slighted by the staff. After that fiasco I doubt that I'lll be coming back because I'm probably going to be charged for missing that class on top of not getting back the hour I drove to and from the class I never attended. So as a FYI to Class Pass users, if you arrive and the class has started, you will be screwed. Most classes give you a 5 minute window, but this just isn't one of those situations. read more

I have done many similar classes and have taken bar method in LA. The staff was friendly and informative. Instructor (Jacque) very helpful as well. A must if you are familiar or any first timers. Clean studios like this are always a plus and they offer locker service at no extra charge . read more

The Bar Method - South Miami - Very clean!! - Barre Classes Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I've only taken two classes at The Bar Method but I can honestly say this is a place you feel extremely comfortable in from day 1. I LOVE IT! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. I love that everyone knows your name, each class feels like its personalized to you even though you're in a room with 12 other women. The professional customer service I've received is incredible. Always greeted with a smile, follow up calls, an easy to use Phone App to sign up for classes... Free lockers, clean environment, even hair bands for your use if you forget to bring one! When it comes to the workouts, tough doesn't begin to cover it BUT totally worth the hard work. I feel like I'm standing straighter and I'm sore in places I didn't know existed in my body and again, this is just my second day. I imagine after months of these workouts, the results will be impressive. If you're looking for a tough workout that really makes you feel like you're shaping and toning you body, Bar Method is your answer!!! The place is clean, the people are great, the workouts are amazing... I'm sticking to this one! I'm making the pretzel my own personal challenge!!! read more

OK. I was a dancer for 15 years. I went in thinking...piece of cake. WRONG. Hadn't felt a burn like that in a LONG time. AMAZING workout. Low impact but very thorough. You work out muscles that normally you wouldn't target. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their body by toning and increasing flexibility. I will definitely go back. Try the BAR BASICS class first to see if its for you. read more

Oh my goodness, I did not expect the class to be so hard (in the best way possible). My body was shaking, my muscles were burning, and boy was my heart beating! The reward after a painful exercise, the perfect stretch for your warm muscles and of course- the ballet body and lifted booty this exercise program promises you! I took Gillian's class and I ADORE her. Her energy and passion for the exercise makes me energized and passionate about the exercise. I could not believe the class went by so fast. She is tough (but hilariously funny) and at the end of the class you will find yourself hooked. You leave Bar Method feeling better- stretched and worked out. After doing the class for about a month, I saw a difference in my body and my backside has never looked better! The facility is spotless. The owner, Sherri, was a former corporate attorney so the studio is extremely professional and expertly managed. They will answer any question you have and then some. The price is expensive, but totally worth it. Your body will thank you! read more

Bar Method is fantastic! It will be two months since I started attending classes (because of a demanding schedule I go between two and three times per week) and I have lost lots of inches and feel phenomenal. I am now wearing clothes I had forgotten I owned! I've tried everything, including cross fit, and nothing comes close to making me feel as good as bar method does. The exercises are demanding, and the pace of the class takes some getting used to but the rewards are exponential. My only complaint is that there aren't later classes (an 8:30pm class would be great for us grad students), and I wouldn't mind a Sunday morning class either. Other than that bar method is pretty perfect. The studio is lovely, and the instructors can't be beat. I have attended class with all of them at least once, and they are all great. They take their time to really motivate the students, and will even come up to you and adjust your positioning themselves if they feel you aren't getting the most out of the exercise. They are hands on, even when I am a hot, sweaty mess. What more can a girl ask for? I promise, if you try bar method you will be hooked. After all, who wouldn't aspire to having a dancer's body? read more

Had a wonderful experience. The easiest looking move isn't easy at all. This workout really works your muscles like no other workout. Sharon was my instructor and she was interactive and helpful. She ensured that the moves were done correctly and she was observant with everyone , not just the newbies. Its a bit pricey to sign up but if you can afford it I recommend you try it. read more

What a great workout! Bar Method is a low impact (but calorie burning!) muscle elongating fitness philosophy. They promise long, lean muscles, sculpted arms, flat abs, and a lifted seat! Classes are one hour long and taught by friendly instructors who make it a point to know you by name and correct you during class so you're getting the most out of your efforts. Located in Sunset, the studio is convenient, clean, and homey - this is place you'll want to come back to again and again - for the atmosphere, and the results! Sign up and reserve classes online! read more

If you are young or middle-aged and in great shape then this is probably a great place for you. However, as a middle-aged woman who has gone somewhat soft around the middle over the last couple of years, it was a horrible experience. After a while, it just felt like the instructor was losing her patience with me. On a positive note, the facility is beautiful, well appointed and clean. read more

So I was one of the lucky ones who was able to try a preview class before the officially opening on 11-1-10 and let me tell you - wow what a workout! I am sore in parts of my body that I forgot I had. I really good sore. The Bar Method is a core-strengthening exercise program, combining yoga, Pilates, strength training and ballet into a barre and floor-based regime. You will be shaking on the floor of how your muscles will be quivering for you to stop. The owner is Sherri DeMarco who was sweet as can be and they offer classes throughout the day and their last class is at 7:15 PM. The location is great and the facility is clean, modern and peaceful. I loved that the teachers gave you individual attention while conducting a full class. Overall, I think this is the type of workout that Miami has been really missing and even though I am sore, welcome to Miami, Bar Method ! read more

I attended yesterday morning's class and today I woke sore from head to toe!! What a workout!! The hour is filled with a combination of exercises that derive from ballet, yoga and pilates. The idea of plié-ing til your muscles shake is incredible!! The price is a bit on the expensive side ($25 for a single class), but considering the amount of people in the class (yesterday there were about 10), you get personalized attention and help just as if you were in a private class. read more

Super attentive staff! If you want to tone your body, do it! I signed up for three months to help me stay fit in the last three months of my pregnancy. Try it out and you won't regret it! P.S.-Eva Longoria was at a class last week here... That should be a good motivator! Haha read more

I do really like this studio. I've been coming here pretty frequently through ClassPass. The instructors are all very nice and take the time to get to know your name. They are very attentive to everyone and offer both words of encouragement and helpful corrections. My only complaint is that sometimes the classes can get a little too full. When this happens, it can be a struggle finding a spot a the barre. read more

Great workout!! Very happy with all the instructors at Bar Method and the small class sizes. Even though I work out and take ballet, this is still a very challenging class for me. Your legs will shake, you will push yourself to keep your heels high, you will be sore the next day, but you will want to come back for more. read more

Great way to start my mornings...!!! One month in and I can feel the difference. Even thought I am doing better in class with posture its still makes my legs shake every time. I love it! read more

I am a BAR die hard. I attend classes usually 4 days a week, and it's the highlight of my morning. Studio is clean and organized, and the desk staff and instructors know your name from the first day you come to class. This place feels like home! The other patrons are friendly and social, and it's a fabulous workout. After 8 months, I have the long, lean look that many of the instructors boast. My favorite teachers are Jacque, Susan Lee, Sherri and Mary. Give this studio a try, you won't regret it!! read more

Well, I thought I was in the best shape of my life. WRONG!!!! Let me first start to say that I cannot say enough good things about the Bar Method. I ran a little bit late for my Basic class, and I was immediately acknowledged BY NAME by the instructor, Gillian, over her microphone, welcoming me while simultaneously continuing everyones workout. Star one. She start of with done free weights for the arms, in a position that makes you work other body parts. Star two. OMG... my butt & legs, every little muscle is on fire. I can't believe how hard it is. Star three. My entire body was shaking through the rest of class. My Calves, abs, shoulders, back...all shaking...!!! You absolutely exhaust your muscles, all with your own body resistance or 2-4lb weights. You do it all using yourself, which makes you feel amazing. Star four. These classes have changed my life! Star five. read more

I've always been a big workout fanatic and I can honestly say that this is the best workout I've ever tried. I've been doing Bar Method at the Miami studio for over 3 years now and my body has changed completely for the better. I did it throughout my whole pregnancy and bounced back after I had the baby thanks to the Bar Method. It is low impact strength training that gives you flexibility and extra energy. The instructors are great and the studio is clean and very well run. Once you've tried it you'll become addicted to this workout and you'll see results fast! read more

I suppose South Miami is a fitting location for people who want to pay TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS per class! In my opinion, this should also include gas compensation from coming all the way from Brickell. The class itself was great. As a former ballet dancer, it definitely derives its moves from the barre portion of ballet class, with some weights and pilates sprinkled in. It is HARD. You have to be DAMN strong to do the class to completion. It's actually the first time I've ever enjoyed exercising since my dancing days, but a) it's 10 miles from where I live and b) I would need to take out a second mortgage to be able to afford any more classes. If they opened a Brickell location and decreased the price point to maybe $18.00 per class (and a student discount, grad school ain't cheap, thanks), I'd be a frequent flier. Sad face for the schlep and price, happy face for the class and pristine facility! read more

I can't say enough positive things about this studio. I have been attending classes 3x week since October 2014 and have lost over 20 lbs. The Bar Method classes are unlike any workout I have done in the past, and I started seeing changes in my body about a month or so into the classes. Each of the instructors is friendly and competent, the studio is clean, and you will find yourself challenged and encouraged. I actually look forward to working out here, and I was never one to look forward to working out! It is more expensive than some other exercise classes/memberships, and you have to pay to park (if you go to classes at 9am or later), but I believe the improvement in my health and reduced level of stress is worth every penny. Highly recommend! read more

I LOVE Bar Method! Even though I live in DC, whenever I visit my parents in Miami I make sure to come here. They offer many classes throughout the day. The classes are challenging and the instructors make sure you are doing the positions correctly (and getting your money's worth). I really can't say enough good things about Bar Method Miami-highly recommend it! read more

Great classes and great and fun way to workout!! im feeling great!

I love the Bar Method! It works all muscle groups to exhaustion and then stretches them out. I've been coming for four years, and it never gets easy. The instructors are motivational and supportive. It's a wonderful community to be a part of. read more
