The Bar Method

Amazing studio.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They know your name from the first time you walk in. The classes are challenging, but the instructors make sure you never feel overwhelmed.
Aside from the wonderful people, the studio is bright, clean and spacious. My favorite studio!

Great workouts, beautiful studio, unbelievably kind staff. You get out of bar what you put into it, and the instructors are great at challenging both the class as a whole AND individuals.

I love Bar Method! Before discovering barre I loved high-​intensity workouts like spinning class and I was skeptical that the small and delicate movements at barre would be as effective. I was wrong! Since starting barre in June I have noticed a huge difference in my flexibility, muscle strength, and confidence. It is a GREAT workout. I look forward to going to class and seeing the friendly faces that work, teach and attend class there. There are many other workout options in this area, and I have tried many of them, but what really sets BM apart is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that the staff have created and the knowledge and expertise that the instructors have.

Bar Method Wellesley is the BEST! Jen and Sarah, the owners, are completely hands on and make sure that you spend your hour wisely. Whether they are teaching or one of their well trained instructors, you will walk out feeling you worked it ALL! The facilities are top notch, the staff is helpful and super friendly as well as all the clients! It’s more than just a work out it’s a community you want to be a part of! Try it once and you’ll be hooked!

I tried the Bar Method once and I was hooked! It’s a great workout and I walk out after each class with sore muscles but feeling relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. The studio is beautiful and very clean. And I can’t say enough about the owners and all the instructors who are so nice and friendly and they know everyone by name! You better pay attention and workout with a correct form or you get called!

I am rowing, and I find that barre helps keep me injury free, and stronger for rowing. Barre method has developed their routines with physical therapist to insure an injury free workout. This shows in the knowledge of the staff as they make corrections to a person’s position to insure that they are getting the most out of the workout, without hurting themselves. As a male, I was not sure how I would be welcomed in a dominantly female class, but the staff is great and I am treated just like any other client. If you have never tried barre, I would highly recommend it, they treat inexperienced new comers of all abilities with the same respect that they give all their clients.

BarMethod in Wellesley is absolutely terrific! Knowledgeable, energetic instructors who correct and motivate each person individually and good energy all around makes this very different from other Bar classes I’ve been to. Challenging and very effective. As someone who does strenuous hot yoga and only tried Bar as an alternative on days I did not want to wet my hair in a hot yoga class, I was surprised and humbled by how challenging and effective this work out is. Found my arms getting visibly more defined (without doing chaturangas, lifts and handstands!)
Highly recommend this studio above all others that do Bar. Great work out and super nice instructors and gorgeous studio. Oh and I still have not figured out how they memorize everyone’s names — love it.

I’ve worked out at other Bar Method studios in different states, and Wellesley is the BEST I’ve been to. They know your name, they make sure your form is correct (prevents strain and injury), the music is upbeat, they are supportive during class! Sarah and Jen, the owners, have added more classes to the schedule and added different levels of classes to keep us challenged. They have great pricing that really encourages you to come as much as you can. I’ve never done group exercise before I tried Bar Method, and it is a fantastic workout; my body has never looked this lean. Highly recommend the workout and ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND this studio!

I love the bar method. I bought the new client special month pass for $ 85 and got my money’s worth and then some. After going almost everyday for a month I have 100% seen a change in my body. My thighs look slimmer and abs firmer. The instructors go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. Also the studio is stunning. You feel like you’re at a spa.

A terrific workout and great owners! Sarah and Jen put together a wonderful studio that is absolutely beautiful. The Bar Method workout is amazing because it strengthens and stretches both large and small muscles. I always leave feeling like I got a full body workout. The instructors are all knowledgeable and make gentle adjustments and corrections throughout each class. As an added bonus, the clients at this particular studio are extremely friendly, which makes for a great atmosphere. Give it a try!

I really liked this studio. I went on a Sunday morning and took a class with Jen. They don’t have showers but have a nice changing room with lots of toiletries available. They recommend sticky socks but the room is carpeted so I didn’t find it to be challenging to wear normal socks. The people were really friendly and Jen made sure to correct everyone’s form. I definitely want to go back, even though Wellesley is a trek from where I live.

The studio is really nice, both owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the technique and all the instructors are very helpful with their precise directions and adjustments. I feel the difference in my body and I also find the money I pay is not just to enter the studio to follow some directions but for the entire experience. Parking is on street which might need some extra minutes before class. Overall is by far the best barre class in the area.

Beautiful studio, great and friendly instructors, really challenging and effective workout. I have found it really helpful and safe with previous injuries from childbearing.

Generally, I am not big on organized fitness classes. I prefer running, etc.
Nonetheless, upon the recommendation of a friend, I tried Bar Method — and have found it worthy of prioritizing it among my busy work-​life schedule. It’s a nice complement to running in that it stretches and strengthens key muscles I use in running — making me a stronger runner in the end.
As others have said, the staff is incredibly helpful in providing adjustments to keep stretching safe. Results in the form of toning come quickly. My body type, while lean, has never been one to show muscle definition… Bar Method changed that.
I highly recommend this studio — both for the impact it has on the body (and mind), and for the instructors!
…and as a nice bonus, the studio space is beautiful!

I bought the introduction package and after only about 2 weeks of classes, I am beginning to see results. The studio is warm, welcoming and very clean. The teachers are wonderful, energetic, positive and helpful correcting form. The workouts have all been challenging yet fun.

I’ve tried many different barre studios in the area. While all have points to recommend them, I was really looking for a studio with a very high level of instructor engagement. I’ve been to studios in NYC that had very attentive instructors who offered great form corrections and extra challenge to more advanced participants. For all the niceties of area studios, I never found that degree of quality instruction…
Until I found the Bar Method. Jen and Sarah are so attentive. They don’t let me away with anything, and I love that! Form is *so* important in barre, and the minute I fatigue and slip out of position, they are right there to get me back on track.
The studio is also beautiful and well-​ventilated, but to me, the most important aspect of any studio is great instruction. I’m looking forward to seeing them grow and expand the class schedule!

I have absolutely LOVED becoming part of the Bar Method Wellesley Community! I had previously been to other local bar studios (and liked them too), but there is something really special about the team at Bar Method. I just love every instructor and find the classes incredibly challenging and enjoyable. I also love the hands on instruction and encouragement I get in every single class. Jen and Sarah have done a fantastic job creating a welcoming, supportive and encouraging environment where you can achieve your fitness goals while making friends and having fun.

The MOST beautiful studio ever! It feels like a spa. Jen and Sarah, the co-​owners are the nicest gals ever. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The Workout goes without saying, it’s very intense but then you get to stretch and get those muscles long and lean. I feel taller after I leave. I wish there were more class times, but hopefully they will be adding more soon.

This place is awesome, all the way around. Jen and Sarah are super friendly and excellent teachers. I signed up for the new client special about a month before I was scheduled to move and really wished I had found them earlier. The studio is beautiful, the classes are challenging but still fit for all levels so you don’t feel discouraged and the other women are really welcoming which can’t be said for all boutique gyms in similar area’s.
I wish BM the best of luck!!!
St parking is metered but I never had trouble finding something and theres a Starbucks right downstairs which is an awesome perk.

Nuts and bolts:
metered parking both on Central street and on the street behind central street (a few lots on the backside). Clean studio (both rooms have a pillar that obstructs the view slightly-​not a big deal, carpeting (I’m not a big fan b/​c my socks stick), big locker room with amenities (towels, blowdryers, hair-​ties, wipes) and an area for locking stuff up OR in the main room, coat hooks and cubbies.
It is at the address listed, just go up a flight of stairs to get there.
I’ve been to about 5 studios in the area and the main standouts of this place are:
1. SUPER nice instructors (a place down the street could not boast this claim)
2. LOTS of adjustments – more than I have ever seen. There are two instructors and they come over often to help/​model the moves. I would have loved that when I started.
3. The workout varies day to day (another place has the same workout for three months at a time) so I prefer to mix up it.
Overall, the parking and traffic (aside from their early classes) would hinder me from coming here often except for early classes. (Central street is crazy in the afternoon).
