I jumped on the bar class bandwagon about 7-8 years ago when they were popping up all over the…read morecountry. I've seen them work a body wonders if you go consistently (3-5 times/week). I prefer a lot of cardio when it comes to my workouts and whenever I try Dailey Method my mind starts to wander and then I realize I'm not even doing the move correctly...and there goes my workout. When my nanny called in sick today I found myself wondering what I would do with my 2 year old for 5 hours until his sister was ready to be picked up at school. Friends mentioned they were taking their 2 year olds to the Dailey Method while they did a class so I figured I'd give it another shot. If the workout wasn't any good at least my son would have fun for an hour playing with the other kids. I haven't left him on his own very often so admittedly I was a bit nervous about it, but figured this would be good prep for camp this summer. I was so impressed with the kids club. It's a small room, but had everything my son would want to keep him entertained for an hour: trains, a kitchen & (yes) a TV. Elizabeth was the caretaker in the room and she was very warm and the kids took to her instantly. In fact, when I went to pick up my son an hour later he didn't want to go home and was giving Elizabeth hugs. Sooo if you're looking for somewhere to workout with good children THIS is it. The class itself was fine. It was a Dailey Basics class so easier than most. Debbie, the instructor, played great music, had complete control of the class and did her best to make sure we were all doing the moves correctly. I did find my mind wandering a lot during the class & feel like I didn't actually get a workout today, but that's based on my own preferences & not the class itself. If you like bar classes you would likely be a fan of Debbie's class. I was excited to see that they offer spinning here. That's one class I'd definitely be interested in trying since it combines cardio with body sculpting. So perhaps I"ll be back for that...and for my little one to visit his new friend & toys in the kids room.

I'm…read morean entrepreneur with a super busy schedule and Pure Barre' classes do not accommodate for people with busy schedules. I was unable to find classes that fit with my busy schedule so I tried to cancel and they 1) are forcing me to pay for an additional month because apparently that's their policy so BUYER BEWARE, 2) despite me not using any of the classes they still are charging me, 3) I have been stalked by Pure Barre Park Ridge staff with texts, emails, phone calls, and voicemails that I owe them money. Pure Barre seems to do business just like a bill collector would and their policies are for their own good - not the customer. The classes themselves are fine but I would never recommend this company to anyone because of their cancellation policy, their bill collection nature, and their limited choices of classes. FYI if you need to cancel and they're giving you a hard time just tell them you're moving out of the area because according to their policies that's the only way you can get out of their contract without a penalty. They also don't tell you when you sign up that you're obligated to essentially purchase 2 months of classes. They were NOT transparent at all about this when I signed up. They push you on the $79 introductory deal but fail to mention everything else. I do not recommend.

I'm talking of course about The Bar Method, which is barre-focused workouts of high-repetition, low impact resistance training. I saw a $49 special for two weeks. I'm a lifelong exerciser and most recently I've been practicing Pilates. The Bar features more cardio and the classes are more high energy, and with more participants. My quads and triceps are sore. The people in these classes are fit! The instructors are very welcoming, make sure to correct form, and are supportive and motivational. There's a bathroom/shower, water, cubbies, and childcare (!!!) available. The studio is large with barres on all sides and one Saturday class I attended was packed. (I'm not a fan of the carpet though) The Bar Method definitely makes an impact quickly. I'm pretty sore (in a good way). Though I won't cancel my Pilates membership, I will consider a class pack. Right now class packs are 25% off.

There's a real welcoming feel to the club and for me, no matter how tired or drained I might be when I enter, I always leave feeling inspired, with more energy, and truly cared for. If you have injuries or you haven't worked out in a long time -- like me, I've just been a walker since 2020 -- the instructors know exactly what to watch for and how to make adjustments. While they'll definitely push you to do your best, everyone gets to start where they are and never feel like you're behind or don't belong. If you're looking for a seriously great workout in a fun atmosphere and RESULTS, I highly recommend Full Circle Barre.
