The Bar Method Englewood

Amazing instructors, beautiful studio, a workout like no other!!! Bar method will transform your body!

Great classes/instructors, great schedule (convenient for working moms!)

Bar Method Englewood Rocks. After buying a dress in March for my daughter's 9/6/15 wedding, I had to have the dress taken in after only 4 months of attendance. EVERYTHING fits better and I feel so much stronger, both inside and out.
Thanks to all of the instructors and especially Shirley for making this a "MUST HAVE" in my life

As a former dancer, I am always looking for classes that are challenging and fun. A friend has been telling me about her bar class for a couple of years but I had never managed to make it to a class. Last week, I made a trip to NJ to join her for my first Bar Method class. Based on what I read as I extensively researched the class, I believe I would probably get a well designed workout class at any of the Bar Method studios across the country (I love how the class is structured and the training is manualized to uphold the integrity of the brand across studios).

I live on the UWS in NYC and I am tempted to purchase some type of package at the (sadly inconvenient) Englewood studio for several reasons. The atmosphere of the studio was almost spa like and very comfortable; I especially appreciated how clean the entire studio was and the clear attention to details. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt very welcomed and it was clear that they put effort into making everyone feel like they are a welcome part of the Englewood bar community.

As a first time student in class, I felt acknowledged and welcomed in a way that I did not make me feel as though everyone would be judging my inexperience. Shirley started our class because the scheduled teacher was delayed in traffic, when Allison arrived, they transitioned seamlessly. When we began working at the barre, I was encouraged to move across the room to the taller bar which was more appropriate for my body type. In this new location, I was very fortunate to be positioned next to Debbie, another instructor. Throughout the class she subtly gave me feedback so I would better understand the optimal form for each exercise. It was like I was getting a private lesson in a group class! As a former dancer and current yogi, I really appreciate that there is such a focus on proper form an alignment. I am sure that it leads to a more optimal workout that reduces injuries - and I also enjoy having something that I can work to refine as my practice develops. Throughout class, I noticed that the instructors knew the name of every single student in class and they offered very specific refinements and labeled praise throughout class.

I can definitely understand why my incredibly busy friend makes time to prioritizes her bar classes in her crazy schedule. If I lived closer, I would not hesitate to invest in an unlimited membership. Despite the inconvenient commute, I am seriously considering investing in a class package so I can come back again!

The teachers are very attentive to each individuals physical needs. Constantly correcting people positioning and making sure they are comfortable with the moves being done. The fact alone that the staff knows everyone by name is truly amazing! A great low impact challenging workout.
