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!

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!

Tooooo hot. I get the theory of sweating out toxins and…read morefocusing on nothing but breathing and being present....but for 90 minutes today, I couldn't help but wonder why I was so moist as I sweated, wiped my face with a t-shirt, looked at the shirtless men next to me jealously, and sweated some more. I've recently been to a couple of heated yoga studios, and they were not as hot as this one...I'm guessing 92-94 degrees. Now, if I'm just a wimp, that's fine. Anyhow, the studio itself is a little hard to find (its entrance is really on Church St, the street behind Central), but it's spacious enough. I was underwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the girl checking me in; she didn't really welcome me and then asked if I needed anything without even telling me the general direction in which I'd find the studio, restrooms, etc. I did notice the sign advertising a cost of $1 to fill your water bottle with poland spring bubbler water, so I made my way to the bathroom and used the tap. Other fancy waters are on offer, and they rent mats, towels, and Yogitoes (which was cool). I attended Pilar's 90 minute power class, and she was good about talking us through class but spent a lot of time talking about the heat and how we should push through it....which only reminded me that my ass was sweating off and I was hopefully losing tons of water weight. We ran through a handful of sun salutations and some other standing poses and balances, and then focused on back bending and stretching- similar to the 'en vogue' power classes I've experienced at Prana Power. Not bad, but I wasn't able to focus as well as I usually can for some reason. Also noticed pilates stations(?) and a sauna on my way in. Based on my experience, I'd recommend getting here at least 10 minutes early to grab a good spot. Also worth noting we started about five minutes late, but came out about 15 minutes over...so you are definitely getting your full 90 minutes. Mehhhh.

I have never taken a class here with anyone else and I've never been in a crowded class so I can't speak on any of that. I used to go a lot a few years ago and came back for the first time during my winter break from college. That class made me wish I was going to a college closer to Wellesley so I could pick up my Wednesday routine again. Only cons in my experience: 1 shower, no towels, and the room can get stinky because the ventilations isn't that great.

Yay, another visit on my Passport to Prana card!…read more I wouldn't normally make the trek from Somerville to Wellesley, but this studio is maybe 15 minutes from my office in Needham, and the yin yoga/meditation class sounded like it could be just what I needed last Tuesday night. I made my way to Laughing Dog, which is in the same building as the decrepit Wellesley Driving School, of which I am a proud, accident-prone graduate! So, you go inside and the building is old and gross, but inside the studio, the space has really been made up nicely. Cynthia, my instructor, was very welcoming and informative as I signed in and got myself situated. What I didn't know upon going in was that yin yoga is a verrrry slow, low-impact practice; holding twists and other restorative poses for periods of time as she talked us through muscle release and general relaxation. We were able to come into one downward dog, too. The class ended with a long, silent meditation. Not bad, and I know the studio offers other (mainly anusara and vinyasa) classes. Kinda odd, but they charge different amounts for different length classes-- so a 60-minute class card would cost less than a 90-minute one. Guess I got my free money's worth going to a 90 minute class! Moral is check out this studio if the location is convenient. Seemed nice enough and likely offers something for nearly everyone.

I figured it's high time I update my review. I've been going to PureBarre (primarily Newton and…read moresometimes Wellesley) for nearly five years (gasp!). I never thought I'd come back after the first class, but with the encouragement and support of so many great instructors and fellow classmates, this has turned out to be a favorite in my exercise/fitness routine, I do mix in other types of fitness classes at other studios (e.g. megareformer, spinning), and can safely say that PureBarre has become a mainstay for me. Oh, and also, the owner of Newton, Wellesley, Dedham and Hingham is a very special person who runs a great business. Thank you Katie.
