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.

I have been going here regularly for about 3 months…read more It is a full body workout that is very challenging. Unless you are already in top shape expect to be very sore for the next day or two! All the classes are structured with low inpact aerobic warm up, some traditional barre work (up an inch down and inch), some aerobics with 1-4lb hand weights, and then about a half an hour of core work (like pilates but not as painful) and stretching (like yoga). People usually wear leggings and you take your shoes off. They have modifications and the instructors don't bark at you if you take a break so it should be a good experience for people at most fitness levels. The classes vary on the details depending on the teacher. All of the teachers have been very good. As for weight loss, the workout itself is not a huge calorie burn compared to something like spinning. But if you go you will feel part of a community where people care about fitness. I have found this helps me focus on being healthy when I am not at the class much more than workouts at gyms without this community feel. This, I think, helps me keep on track with a healthy diet which is more important for weight loss anyway. Sometimes when you go everyone is thin and beautiful. This might be intimidating if you are just beginning but other classes have more of a variety of people including some who are around retirement age. I think it just depends what time you go. There is nowhere to lock your wallet so I usually don't bring it in. Overall, they have built a nice place here. A bit pricey.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I love that they have special classes! I just went to one where the participants all donated diapers & money to a local charity, and I really appreciated that... I also got to try a variety of their programs then and enjoyed myself. The shop is cute and I love the jewelry and clothing options. They do have unique pieces. I'll definitely be coming back!
