I started going to the Bar Method about 1.5 years ago and I have loved every minute of it. I was a dancer growing up and then turned to running after college and was searching for something to supplement my running, help me get stronger and help me use other muscles. Bar Method was everything I needed. I have thoroughly enjoyed going to classes and have felt so much stronger since I started. The teachers are knowledgeable and kind, the studio is lovely, the classes are challenging and low impact, the free parking is great. Highly recommend!!

I have always struggled to maintain a workout routine. My. Whole. Life! Well, I have now been a member of The Bar Method for over 2 years and I have taken over 300 classes. Here are some specifics of why this place is so amazing: the instructors are super meticulous to form and making sure that every move you do is perfect in order to be most effective to results and safest for your body over time, the workouts are reasonable time length and hit every muscle in your body, you WILL see changes in your body and overall physical and mental health, the classes are challenging no matter what your fitness level but there are modifications for everyone so ANYONE can do it. I am a physician and mom to 2 little boys. I started my membership during my post-part in fitness journey with #1 and once I lost all the weight and was in great physical shape, I did it all again and managed to do classes through the entirety of my second pregnancy-literally taking my last class the week before baby came-and as soon as I was cleared I was back at it. I have never once felt out of place or intimidated. The instructors and staff are amazingly friendly and truly foster a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere. Can’t say enough good things about this place. If you are at all on the fence or just trying to find a routine or happy place, look no further and give it a try!

I love this studio and the people there. The staff is so friendly. The studio is always so clean, and I feel very safe being there. I have taken classes now for over a year and I feel so much stronger and healthier, and I know my posture is so much better now. It is the one fitness class that I have been able to stick with and actually ENJOY while seeing amazing results. I always look forward to my classes and feel great after.

I absolutely love The Bar Method and am so happy I found them! The instructors are excellent-VERY knowledgeable and the heavy emphasis they place on good form is great because they are helping to keep injuries away! I also love the community of the studio, the other people I’ve met in class are encouraging and friendly like the teachers. The workouts are great because they are challenging without heavy jumping/high impact, so I love that aspect of them as well. This is a great studio I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I’ve been going to Bar Method since they opened their doors in 2018 and I have to say, the past three years have been nothing short of wonderful. Even during a global pandemic, the owner, Ally, and instructors pivoted so quickly to virtual to ensure we all had classes to take right away. They were also extremely communicative and reassuring the entire time.Clients are always their top priority and they cultivate a community of women who empower other women (all are welcome though!!) It’s been a place where I have found a little calm after a crazy day in a crazy world. If you’ve been thinking about giving Bar Method a try, I highly suggest it! Pop in and even behind the masks, you’ll be greeted with beaming smiles from a knowledgeable staff that will support you along your fitness journey!

Decided to try the Bar Method Baltimore after my studio closed. Wow! was all I could think walking through the door for that first class. Everyone is friendly. Its an inclusive environment where all are welcome. Any questions/concerns/form checks are addressed right away. Ally has created a community of positive people. Baltimore is a lovely studio inside and out. I only wish it was a shorter drive.The workouts are great. The teachers dont miss a thing yet are kind in correcting form.The online classes are equally good. Almost like being in studio. All in all its a 5 star place in every way.

The Bar Method Baltimore has been my home-away-from-home since 2016 (yes, since before the official studio space was opened). After a wild past year filled with two moves, a loss of a job, sitting on pins & needles about another, this space has been there for me throughout. Ally, the owner, takes great pride in staying in touch with everyone during the pandemic. Before I moved back to Baltimore, she would email regularly asking how I was doing and making sure I was taking care of me with the large amount of stress I was experiencing in 2020. Sure, The Bar Method Baltimore may market itself as a workout location, but it truly incorporates the whole body — mind, soul, heart, and energy — during a 45-60 minute class and beyond.

I love this place so much!! The workouts are fun, the instructions are amazing, and the classes are always different so you never get bored! I’m someone who always got easily bored with working out and never lasted more than a month. In May I’ll be celebrating 2 years of working out at this studio!! The classes are so much fun and I always look forward to them. The studio owner is also one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet and you can tell she really cares about her staff and clients! She has gone above and beyond to keep us all safe during covid!

I love coming to The Bar Method for workouts. I always leave feeling like I worked my body and calmed my mind. The teachers are super accommodating and will often suggest modifications that are helpful for different body types or fitness levels. After over a year of consistent commitment to the Bar Method, my strength and flexibility have dramatically improved. And, the classes are enjoyable!

I started taking classes here in Jan 2020 right before COVID19 hit the states. I have found that this has been a great workout to do both in person and online and have greatly appreciated getting to know the ladies that teach and own the studio! If you are looking for a good workout class that you not only get a great workout but have teachers that actually care to give constructive feedback and work with any injuries, this is a great place to go!

The best work out in south Baltimore! Bar Method has amazing instructors, fun and challenging classes, and a great little community. Barre was one of the things about “normal life” I missed the most for the last 13 months, and I couldn’t be happier to be back!

Love love this studio! All of the teachers are so uplifting and interactive during class. The workout itself is killer and really burns out those glutes, thighs, and hamstrings. I also love that each day there is a different focus muscle for the class, so youre not constantly doing the same workout at each class.

I have been going to bar method Baltimore for a little over a year. I went virtually through the whole pandemic. It is an amazing workout experience like no other that tones and stretches. The classes are amazing and deceptively difficult. The teacher are what make the studio amazing. It is run by a kickass woman Ally who hired a group of kickass women who take the time to get to know each member of their studio. The personality of the studio matches that of its owner- fun, friendly and strong.

I was brought as a guest to The Bar Method class and enjoyed it so much I immediately signed up for a membership! The instructors constantly are checking your form to make sure that you are in the best position so as not to injure yourself and to get the best workout in. The staff and teachers are all extremely warm and friendly and I feel welcome every time I step through the door. The facilities are all new, clean, and very nice. I go almost every day and I feel like Im getting a great workout in! Ive been a member for over a year now and have never felt so in shape and happy with my body as I have with The Bar Method Baltimore! They have helped me to feel beautiful, graceful, and strong. The owner and staff have created the most amazing community of members. I tell all my friends about barre and how awesome the Bar Method Baltimore is!

I have taken classes with the Bar Method for almost 3 years. The Bar Method provides a fun, challenging, low impact work out that can be modified for all levels of fitness. All classes are excellent, but level 2 (Bar Advanced) is my favorite! I always have exercised regularly, but I have noticed more benefit with regards to muscle toning from the Bar Method than from any other work out in my adult life. Also, I always look forward to class! Highly recommended!

The Bar Method has been an amazing experience for me since the start. The community of ladies is so lovely and always there to greet you with a smile. I started barre after a bout of health issues and it feels so amazing to feel strong and healthy - the looking better is certainly a plus too! I really can’t say enough good this about this studio and truly I should be thanking them for all they have done for me these past months.

The Bar Method offers an incredible, full-body workout and a great sense of community! All of the instructors are extremely personable and effective trainers making the overall experience more beneficial and enjoyable.Now that they have re-opened due to local guidelines, I am impressed and pleased with their new procedures and cleaning standards to ensure a safe workout environment for their members and staff!

I got hooked after my first class and love the studio! The teachers are all very welcoming and work with you to make sure you get the most effective workout. I always have my form corrected and am so impressed by how the teachers are paying attention to each person throughout the class. Since starting, I have definitely noticed more lean muscle definition and increased strength. Between the sparkling clean studio, great music, and positive attitude of everyone at the studio I am excited for each upcoming class!

I started Bar Method back in January on a whim. “Hey, it’s so close to home, there’s a great holiday deal, why not?” Well, I kept coming back and back and back...now I’m a full Club Bar member and have no regrets. The space is absolutely beautiful. Everything is always immaculate and clean. Everything smells amazing (those candles tho, I want them all). It’s like the chic studio of my dreams.On top of that, the staff is amazing. Everyone knows your name from almost the moment you step into class. They take the time to make sure you’re in the right positions and doing the exercises in the most effective ways. But they also allow you to take things at your own pace. Heck, I could barely hold a true plank when I started and now I can do a full plank for ALMOST the whole plank time.Bar Method is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a low-impact and super satisfying way to work out.PS: great to keep on top of stretching too. I feel so limber nowadays.

The Bar Method is a seriously amazing place! Not only is it a great workout where Ive quickly seen results, but the community there is amazing. Each and every one of the instructors and front-desk staff are always warm and welcoming, taking the time to really connect and engage with their customers. I started going to the studio this winter and have been to a number of classes and am still impressed that no two have been the same! From the up-beat music and sparkling clean space, there is always high energy from the teachers and staff and I look forward to the shake and burn that I feel every class! So lucky to have found such an amazing community to be a part of!

Im a new convert to The Bar Method but plan to be a lifer; I am thrilled with the results that Ive achieved! I cant say enough fantastic things about this location. The instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging; from the moment you walk through the door, the culture is positive and inclusive-- everyone makes you feel welcomed. The studio is immaculate and always fully stocked with towels and my favorite Aveda products! I highly recommend, jumping in the deep end and purchasing the monthly membership-- you will see results.

I LOVE The Bar Method – I started taking classes in late 2018 after having fallen in a workout slump and was hoping to find something new. After my first class I was easily re-inspired to get back into a routine and really welcomed the challenge of each class. I saw physical improvement rather quickly and embraced the confidence boost and mental escape it provided. The Bar Method creates a very inviting and welcoming community; all the staff and teachers are kind, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking a class and embracing all The Bar Method has to offer!

The bar method is great! While a low impact workout it is still very challenging. As the studio grows more class levels and options are being added so the challenge is never ending. The studio is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful- they make you feel at home! They are also great with modifications due to injuries and are a judgement free zone. I definitely recommend it!

I’ve been coming to this Bar Method Studio since Aug ‘18, and Ally and her team have created a welcoming community for everyone. The knowledge and hands on corrections are unique to the Bar Method, and they give everyone attention throughout class to ensure an effective and safe workout. I started doing Bar at a competitor 3 years ago around DC, but they didn’t have the same attention to corrections and knowing everyone names like this studio. To top it off, the space is beautiful from the actual studios to the locker room with lots of Aveda products.

I first came to The Bar Method for a bar basics class in their old community space. I was hooked. Ive now been a client for over a year and couldnt be happier with the decision to join. Unlike other barre studios, the teachers here really have an understanding of how the workout impacts and helps your body to grow and become stronger. You can really see how well trained every teacher is. Theyre hands-on adjustments ensure that youre both maximizing your workout, but more importantly, not hurting yourself.Not only is it a good workout and beautiful studio, but the atmosphere is so empowering.

I can not say enough good things about the Bar Method Baltimore! As a new mama who tried lots of different fitness routines to shed the baby weight, from home workout videos to other group fitness classes, nothing was sticking. Since the Bar Method Baltimore has childcare, I decided to give it a try. Not only am I finally BELOW my pre-baby weight, but I feel stronger and more confident than ever! I impress myself now with my strength, flexibility, and my stamina to keep up with one tornado of a toddler!As far as barre classes go, I have experienced many other franchises in the area, and the Bar Method Baltimore is by far superior! There is certainly a well thought out method! Each instructor is meticulous about form to ensure that you get the very most out of your class without compensating any joint or body health. I’ve brought lots of friends to class from fitness junkies to my mom (who I love but is not very incredibly fitness inclined), and every single person has loved the class! It is challenging but doable for every fitness level.From the very first class, I was greeted with friendly smiles and people that knew my name and cared to get to know me and my little guy! Not only have I found my niche in the fitness world, but I have found a new community of friends that love both me and my son!As a physician, mom, and woman, I highly recommend the Bar Method Baltimore! 6/5 stars!! If you are still reading, definitely definitely DEFINITELY check it out! And thanks for reading a 4 paragraph rating! :-)

By the time I tried The Bar Method, I had already taken a lot of barre classes, so I thought I knew what I was doing. However, at my first class, the instructor was able to give me suggestions to improve my form. The Bar Methods emphasis on form not only makes the exercises more effective but makes them safer for my body. I think the quality of instruction at The Bar Method really separates this studio from the others. The Bar Methods location is not the most convenient for someone living in Canton, but the classes are certainly worth the drive.

Cant say enough fantastic things! It is such a warm, inviting space - everyone makes an effort to make you feel welcome and they somehow always know your name! It is the only studio I have ever been to where every teacher pays close attention to everyone to ensure that you are doing every move correctly and always makes adjustments - but they do so in a way that is genuinely to help you vs. making you feel self conscious about it.

Ive been going to The Bar Method for around 1.5 years and still love going to class. It is the only workout I have been consistent with and I have tried many other studios. The instructors are awesome and are always helpful with correcting your form. Most importantly, I have seen amazing results going 3-4 times per week (as my only exercise) and I can do real push ups now!

Ive been a Bar Method patron since their temporary space in Fells Point and have always found the staff to be inviting, friendly, and very accommodating. The minute you walk through the front doors you are welcomed by the smiling front desk staff and the serene studio space. The instructors provide hands on adjustments and verbal cues to make sure you are using the proper form. If you arent sure if you are doing a move correctly, they are willing to stay after class to help you understand the move. I was intimidated by the adjustments and precise movements at first, but I quickly learned how much impact the slightest tweak to your posture or foot position can make. Bonus: The Bar Method has a great selection of retail to keep you looking stylish while you shake.

I love the studio, and the instructors are all so kind and welcoming. They can modify the movements infinitely to accommodate physical limitations.

I thought this whole idea for a workout program was going to be super intimidating, especially for someone with zero dance background - but The Bar Method has been amazing! All of the instructors are warm, welcoming and ready to lead an amazing (and difficult) workout. They also are extremely vigilant about making sure everyone is in the correct form to avoid injuries and give modifications (which as someone who has a lot of sports injuries really appreciates). Cannot speak highly enough about how much I love it here!

Review №52

I had been curious about the Bar Method ever since they first opened. I was really out of shape and thought it seemed intimidating so I could never convince myself to give it a try. My friend and I signed up during a special promotion last fall and I quickly realized I wish I would have joined way earlier! The staff is so welcoming, encouraging (not the least bit intimidating), and knowledgeable. The hands on corrections are the best because you don’t realize how one minor adjustment can be so important— you go from “this isn’t so bad” to “I think my legs might fall off” in an instant so you can rest assured that you are truly getting an incredibly effective (and safe) workout. I feel so much stronger and have increased flexibility and improved posture (seriously rolls shoulders up, back, and down about 100x a day). I finally look forward to working out instead of dreading it!

I finally have my pre baby body back!! Ive been doing The Bar Method since October and I have completely quit every other kind of resistance workouts. Ive tried so many programs (circuits, HIIT, weight lifting) and The Bar Method is what has finally given me my pre baby body back--and then some! Cant recommend them enough. What I love the most compared to other barre programs is the focus on form and proper alignment. The instructors here are amazing at catering the class to your physical capability. They are also super sweet and always friendly. The music is always upbeat and I find myself singing and tucking to the music! No background in dance needed, but I love that I allows me to feel like the little ballerina I was when I was little. Keep up the great work ladies!

I love Bar Method. I like to mix up my higher impact/cardio workouts with Bar Method a few days per week- it’s so restorative. I actually started doing it while pregnant when I couldn’t run anymore, and I have found it to be a perfect pregnancy and post-partum workout. (Maybe TMI, but I definitely think the muscle training helped during labor.) And the added bonus now? They offer childcare (we have had the sweetest babysitters) for select AM classes through a partnership with NAPP.
