I verified that it would be free about 10 times. They will say absolutely anything and lie to their customers to get them back in - because when I got there the Manager Mike and front desk person, Nate said they would not honor this. This place treats their customers and potential customers poorly and I am appalled at their incompetence and unprofessionalism.

Huge fan of this location in particular. I do a lot of traveling and swing by OT when I can, but…read moreI'm always impressed by the staff and setup of this Orange Theory in particular. The workout room itself is more spacious than your average glass box setup you'll find in more OT locations; making it feel like it's own gym. The staff and coaches here are excellent, particularly Dana and Alice. They definitely make you feel like you're there to workout with them rather than just mindlessly be instructed. The way they run their classes really caters to pushing yourself instead of you just trying to keep with the vibe they set; something I'm not a huge fan at other locations. They both have a killer playlist too if you're more into rock while working out. Highly recommend taking a class Alice if you want the best first impression of Orange Theory.

But when I show up to find out the club is closed the rest of today and tomorrow for a special event without any kind of in club, online, or proactive text / email communication, I'm just done with these people who could care less about their members' wellness. Homophobic, cruel, and incompetent.

Beware: Hidden Policies, Poor Availability & Zero Accountability…read more I'm writing this review as a heads-up to anyone considering this studio. When I first signed up, the front desk clearly told me I was only committing to a three-month subscription and could decide whether to renew after that. That sounded fair--so I signed up. Four months after I stopped attending, I realized they had continued charging me $211.64 per month without a single courtesy call, check-in, or even a reminder. When I reached out, I was told the subscription automatically renews and requires 30 days' notice to cancel. This was never made clear upfront. It's sneaky, misleading, and feels like a deliberate cash grab. On top of that, their class availability is trash. There's a massive gap in the middle of the day, and all the decent class times fill up fast--making it nearly impossible to attend consistently, even if you wanted to. That lack of flexibility is a huge problem for anyone with a normal schedule. I've had far better results doing free Pilates classes at home on YouTube. If you're looking for quality, accessible instruction without the shady fine print, I highly recommend Move with Nicole and Issa Welly Pilates. Both are fantastic and totally free. Save your money. Save yourself the frustration. There are much better options out there that respect both your schedule and your wallet.

Love, love, love Bar Method Fairfield. Prior to taking classes here, my only other experience was…read morewith the Physique 57 videos. They're great, but I was really concerned about my technique and doing the exercises correctly. I was thrilled to hear that BM had opened in Fairfield. The studio is bright, lovely, and clean. Staff are positive and always remember clients' names. (I'm terrible with names, so this is really impressive.) All of the instructors are excellent too! They're very knowledgeable and focused on their students having correct technique. If you're thinking about trying a barre workout, definitely check out Bar Method. It is VERY challenging and you'll feel AMAZING afterwards. The only drawback (for me) is that the studio is about 30 minutes away from where I live. However, the workout is so awesome that it's worth the drive.

First, the disclaimer. This is not a review of the studio as it is not open yet. However, Bar…read moreMethod Fairfield offered preview/community classes this summer and I took about 8 of them. I've been active my whole life, although less so for the last 4 years. Bar Method is an entirely different approach to exercise than anything I've done before. The focus on Bar Method is on small (tiny, even) isometric movements. By the way, "isometric" means "same length" and an isometric movement is one that engages your muscle without contracting it. For more information, the Bar Method founders blog is a great source: http://blog.barmethod.com. It was developed by a dancer and with the help of a physical therapist. I actually recognize a lot of the movements from when I did physical therapy for my back almost 15 years ago. Bar Method is completely different than any other workout I have ever done. It took me about 3 classes to adjust to the new positions and the flow of class, and for the first two classes I questioned whether I was getting a good workout. However, the day after class as soon as I got out of bed I could very clearly tell that I had. I wasn't really sore the way I am after lifting weights or running or anything else. Instead, I was a little bit achey everywhere we had worked. I could FEEL that my muscles had been worked. Over the last 5 weeks, I've noticed some changes that I really attribute to Bar Method. My arms are more defined, the shape of my legs is changing. I'm also sleeping better than I have in a long time. If you, like me, walk out of your first and second classes thinking "Eh, I'm not sure" I'd really encourage you to go back a few more times just to make sure you're not missing out on something that you really will click with if you give it more time. Through classes this summer, I had the chance to meet some of the Bar Method teachers. Bridget is the owner and has been teaching for a while. She clearly knows what she's doing in class, and has authority in her voice that makes you not want to quit even when whatever she has you doing is really tough. Stephanie is one of the other teachers and she is very encouraging. There's at least one more teacher who is still in training

My surgeon is the Chief of Orthopedic Foot and Aankle Surgery in one of the top ten hospitals in the country. He said, this was one of the worst crushed heels he had ever seen. He said that after he scheduled a two-hour surgery, and it ran something over four hours. There were serious questions as to how well I'd be able to get around, and most likely would require a cane forever. I'm 79 years old, and on Medicare. I began my physical therapy in February 2023. In working with Evolution Physical Therapy and more specifically Nolan Rufa, I went from a state of crutches and limping into their facility, to now walking pretty well and have achieved about 70% of normal. Together, we established and achieved all the goals we set. My current goal is to achieve complete stability. At that time, I expect to be at 80% of normal, at which point it may be time to declare victory. So far, I've had about 120 sessions, some more grueling and painful than others. Nolan was very patient with me as I'm a type A and not particularly easy to get along with, especially in a difficult situation like this one. Over the past 21 months I've had an opportunity to observe others receive physical therapy. Of the four or five therapists I observed on a regular basis, they all seem to have the same desire and commitment to their patients. I'm sure the small size of the facility, personal one-on-one therapy and a good selection of personnel are responsible for my success. Boy did I get Lucky, no cane. Thanks Nolan.

You will use your machine in ways you could never have imagined. The classes move quickly but you have the benefit of screens all around the studio demonstrating each move. Additionally the instructors are literally super human, cueing each move in rapid succession while making sure everyone has proper form. Whatever Julia is making, it's not enough, this woman deserves a raise!! I've taken approximately one million classes in my life and never have I witnessed an instructor care so deeply about form and provide one on one guidance while trying to run the class (my brave husband required more attention than the average bear). This studio is high energy and for all levels!
