It did happen and the amount of fees that were Acquired during this time are ridiculous!! I didn't check this bank account because why would I, because I had no bills coming out of it. It brought my account negative hundreds of dollars until I finally got a letter in the mail telling me that this was happening. They told me that they needed to write corporate well now we're going on for weeks still waiting. Please don't waste your money or your time by going to the gym because they are not true to their word. How is this ok!!

I'm mostly a fan of Pure Barre for PLATFORM, the quasi step aerobics-style cardio classes the…read morestudio now offers a few times a week. When my doctor told me to work in more cardio into my fitness routine, I started spinning regularly and make sure I hit a PLATFORM class once a week. I find more value in the workout, and appreciate the attention on working (then adequately stretching) the core and outer hips. As for "regular" barre, I still take class maybe once every other week, because there are so many schedule options. As other reviewers have noted, I too question some of their cues on alignment (i.e. pointing your toe with an open knee joint) and modify some exercises. The staff is super friendly and enthusiastic, and also responsive over email to answer questions, re-up a package, or comp you a class the first time you space out and miss one you booked. And yup, it's pricey, but worth trying a month for $100 then keeping an eye out for specials. They also offer a 25% discount for students. And they offer free "breaking down the barre" classes that are super helpful to talk through their cues, as the classes are fast-paced. Also, the merch is always on point, and there are a few (maybe 4) free parking spots and there's a metered lot right next door.

I came here to try a cardio jumpboard class and was pleasantly surprised at how well everything…read morewent. The instructor was great and helped me get settled in and setup the reformer with the jumpboard. I've taken reformer classes before, so it was a good extension of trying something slightly different. There's sticky pads to put on the reformer so you don't slip and we also used very squishy balls. I wasn't exhausted or overly sweaty, but felt like I got a good workout in. The people here are friendly and would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Amazing little studio in Waltham. I took the blue barre bounce class with Grace and loved all the…read morejumping that was involved. It was a small class with 6 people in it. Grace helped me set up the barre on the trampoline, which is around your waist area. This is a cardio-centered class with lots of jumping up and down and side to side. We used weights for as part of an arm workout and barre section after each cardio portion of the class. Grace was great at keeping the energy up and the playlist was very upbeat and bouncy to go along with the class. The only thing I found weird was that you're facing the back wall and not the mirrors. The studio itself is in great shape. There are two rooms and they offer a variety of classes from barre, to spin, to a surf class. There are lots of different options for purchasing packages from a 5 or 10 pack class as well as membership options. I will definitely be back to try their surf class in the near future. The bathroom has lockers and showers (with towels and amenities). If you check in on Yelp, you can purchase 3 pairs of barre socks for $20!

I recently started to go to classes at this studio and have taken Barre + Cardio, Pound, Piloxing…read moreand my favorite Barre TRX. I love TRX and haven't found a lot of places that offer it. Combining it with barre is such an interesting concept and adds some extra intensity to the workout. I love that the classes are challenging, but not intimidating. I've wanted to try Piloxing (pilates and boxing) for a few years now and was super excited to see this being offered. All I can say is "Wow." I was dripping in sweat and my upper body was sore for days (in the best way possible.) All the instructors have been great, but Grace in particular, who is also the owner, is funny, approachable and has a great teaching style. At my very first class, even though she wasn't the one teaching it, took a minute to notice that I was a new face she didn't recognize and introduced herself. I'd definitely recommend this studio for some interesting and different classes to mix up your normal routine. There's also plenty of parking, which is a plus!

I love everything about The Bar Method Wellesley! From the kind and encouraging instructors to the…read morerelaxing studio setting, The Bar Method is the best workout I've ever done. There are so many things I love about this location: - A beautiful studio with a clean changing room (well stocked with lotion, dry shampoo, etc.) - A great front desk staff who are there to help if you call with a question - Instructors that make you feel supported from day one, giving great adjustments to make sure you are engaging safely with all the exercises and encouraging you to challenge yourself - Great music in all the classes - A different workout in every class, which pushes you to keep growing I'm so grateful for #TBMW!

I think the best part about this studio is the instructors. They are friendly, extremely attentive,…read morewill push you and encourages you to do the best for your workouts. They are the only reason I keep coming back. They will make sure you have the right postures. They will also help with modifications, and ensure that you are safe, if you have any sort of injuries or pregnant. The only con is when they are training for new instructors. I can definitely tell the difference between a seasoned instructor and a new one. Another con (for me) - they offer bar move, or level two, that are more intense, but not nearly enough (only 2 classes per week). I like the move and level two because I think they are harder. They also have a beautiful space, and friendly and helpful staff. The facts (not necessarily cons, but just what to expect): As to be expected for a place in Wellesley, you get what you pay for. It's pretty costly to go regularly. It is mostly women, with a certain look (read - nice yoga pants and pretty workout tops). But they are not judgmental, or I never felt judged. They dont have a separate men/women locker room. But you also dont sweat like crazy for these type of exercise, that you need to rinse or bring any change of clothes. They have cubbies right outside of the studio.

Despite the shorter session, I still felt like I got a great workout. The class was completely full, yet I still felt like I had room to workout both on the floor and at the barre. The studio is very clean and well maintained and all of the props are also like new. The instructor was very clear on how to do each exercise and came around to give adjustments, as needed. I love the combination of cardio, yoga, Pilates and ballet that the class provided. I even love how the short class still ends in a quick meditation to allow you to leave the class more relaxed. I like how they have a little store there where you can purchase some workout clothes. They even have a babysitting area to make it easy and accessible for parents who want to workout. Parking was very easy in the 2 hour free lot behind the studio. Just make sure to look for signs to ensure you aren't in a permitted spot! This one of my go to studios when I'm in the Boston area and I'm glad they are back on ClassPass!

The only reason why I had to turn it away is because the few things that I like to do with the gym, they do not offer. I would still recommend. The price is a little bit pricier than the competition, and they do charge an extra $25 to use the pool that you also have to make reservations for. They do offer classes and personal trainer services. I didn't get the cost, but I can't imagine it being more than competitors. Thank Brian , good job!!!
