The facility is adorable, walk in and you smell and feel the zen! Trainers are attentive to your form and are engaged with you, they know your first name! Angelika is one of the best trainers I have encountered. Old school, no nonsense, brings back memories of ballet teachers. Great place read more

I love this place! That staff is so nice and helpful! They really push me to do my best in a friendly inviting environment! I always leave feeling much better than I walk in! read more

I've really enjoyed my 2 months of barre classes here. I am off work on Tuesdays and usually take classes Tuesday mornings and it's often not very full which is nice because you get more one-on-one attention. All the instructors I've had have been very, very nice, patient, and motivating. They really pick the right people to instruct here. One instructor even took me aside after class and showed me alternate exercises I could do to keep weight off my wrist because I injured it years ago and it's never healed properly. Facility is clean and comfortable. Parking can be tricky, but there's plenty of street parking around though. My one and only complaint is that $28 per class is very steep. I'm not rich and could certainly not afford 2 classes a week, let alone the 3-5 they recommend taking ($56/week = $2,912/year). The new client special - $99 for a month of unlimited classes - is a GREAT deal, you get your money's worth very fast. Will be coming back as often as I can afford. Always feel great after class. read more

I am giving the 3 stars for the workout .... the Bar Method is an amazingly TOUGH effective exercise that gets you in shape fast and hits those trouble spots like nothing else. I had to subtract points for the facility itself ....... there were no showers or even towels provided, parking was a hassle, and the staff was impersonal to the point of being rude. I do like the workout and the aesthetic but I will be checking out other locations. read more

Bar Method Englewood is my happy place. The instructors are all super motivating and work with you no matter your fitness level. I love the positive energy & the girl power feel the studio has. Shirley's classes are AMAZING! You will be sore for days!!! It's been 5 years since I've joined bar method and every class is just as challenging as the last one. read more

The Bar Method - Thigh work. #Giveatuckchallenge - Barre Classes Near Me - Englewood, New Jersey

The Bar Method in Engelwood NJ is fabulous. The workout is hard. I've done Bikram for over two years and I've still gotta work in there. But I saw (visually ^saw^) results after 4 classes. Facility is so pleasant and clean, teachers are great - really care and offer variations for back problems, etc. read more

If you are tired of boring and industrial looking gyms and uninspired workout routine, you should definitely try Bar Method. This is a group exercise with a personal touch, inspiring teachers, the place where everybody knows your name from the minute you sign up for your first class. You'll see a noticeable change in your body, gain flexibility and will become stronger. As someone who doesn't really like to work out, I've finally found a place that I look forward to going to. read more

Prepare yourself to enter a beautiful facility, meet amazing people and change your body. Bar Method Englewood is owned & run by special women, the atmosphere is inspiring and the work out is killer! You will become addicted and your body will transform into a leaner, stronger one! read more

I just completed my New Client special one month unlimited classes today at the Closter location. I can see and feel the change in my body already. My muscles are stronger and more clearly defined and I feel more energetic. I actually have been eating a little more (bbqs, dining out, weekends away - it's summer!) but am not putting on weight. I guess my metabolism enjoyed a boost also. I cannot do all the reps of each exercise but that's OK. I just do what I can and each class gets a little bit better and no judgment is passed. I also have had spinal fusion surgery (11 vertebrae), and the instructors have helped me adapt certain exercises for my body capability. I just signed up for 3 more months and look forward to watching my continuing body transformation. read more

I have come to love this place!! Why? The atmosphere: Welcoming, attentive, energetic organically cleaned. The moves: Effective and efficient as hell! After class you will feel like you are wearing a total body girdle and you will not wanna put crap in it. You begin to "live in" your body and for the first time in a long time you begin to feel incredibly strong!!! It is an AWESOME feeling!! Then in about 2 days the feeling goes away and the body begins to call for it and before you know it, you are HOOKED, "Damn," you say to yourself because they are not cheap!!! THE Owner: Pleasant, physically fit, smart, has dabomb body who makes 50 look like 22!!! She seems a bit shy! The Instructors: Well trained, knowledgeable, sassy, fun, and fit. While the sequence of the class is pretty uniform the teachers all bring their unique style of teaching so you will never be bored!!! My rating read more

I can't wait to return. I was a zealot about going to classes almost daily when it first opened. Shirley, the owner, is a class act, and had hired like-minded professionals who are genuinely concerned about offering each client the best workout. Going there makes you feel so serene. Workout seems personalized as instructors quietly help you self correct and optimize your workout. I purchased plenty of Lululemon there, Bar Method apparel, and I hold a warm spot in my heart for this great facility. read more

I work in the city and I've been a regular member at the studio on Spring St. since it opened but I recently tried this studio that is close to my house while working from home. No comparison. Very pretty but much much smaller space with a non-existent staff. No showers or towels and the teaching quality didn't come close to the teachers I'm used to in soho. My mat was dirty (kind of smelly, like it needed washing) and the same person who was working at the desk also taught my class so it was chaos checking in. By the time it was my turn to get to the desk she had to teach the class! On the upside they sell a lot of exercise clothing (which they don't at all in NY) and I got some great lululemon for 20% off so ill be back to shop only. read more

I've been doing barre in this location for almost a year now. First I was hesitatant to try because they have somewhat of a small facility and very limited parking. But now I have to admit I'm totally addicted to this workout and big fan of instructors who works there. The other reviews say this facility doesn't have shower room or towels etc. But I never felt those are necessary after my barre classes. They have a locker room to put away your bag, one big room with bars where they usually have classes. When class is full it could fit approximately 28 people. There is also one small side room and restrooms. They have several instructors and they all teach every level. They are all really nice and trying to motivate people to challenge to reach their limit. If you are a newbie, you'll get attention as you needed and if you are a regular, you'll get attention as you needed as well. During workouts, I usually experience so many muscle shaking moments and pain during work out. But the other way around workout itself is centered around stretching all the muscles properly, my usual muscle pain is gone since I started this work out. Barre class itself doesn't put much work load to joints so I don't experience knee pain after an hour of barre class. They also offer barre basic class for beginners, level 2 class and bar move class for harder workouts. They are really intense!! Not sure how much this workout is going to make me loose inches but I do work out to enjoy my food and wine!!.. I can feel my arms and legs getting toned since I started barre. I also feel a lot stronger. Hope others will experience this class and have the same experience as I did. read more

The Bar Method is a challenge! Just because I don't leave there dripping in sweat doesn't meant it's not a hard work out. My whole body is shaking like a leaf during most of the class! I have tried different types of workouts but barre is both physical and mental for me. The instructors are so positive and always there to support and compliment you during class. read more

Great classes, great instructors, great people, what more can you ask for! Congrats and looking forward to the new Closter location!

The whole approach to this studio is great. It's clean, inviting and the people who work there make you feel welcome. The best part is that the workout is fabulous. The instructors take the time to remember your name, ask you about your experiences and help you out the whole way through. They are tough and correct you, but also inspire you to push yourself in a really fun way. The music is great and you leave feeling happy, with very shaky thighs! read more

The teachers are very helpful, especially for newbies. The workout itself is incredible. Low impact, yet highly efficient. It's pricey but there are special intro rates. Also, make sure you check out the stall bar, its great to hang from to cut down on spine compression. read more

This was my first Barre class and I Loved it! The instructor Mel was super friendly, helpful and encouraging and so were the students. I got a really good vibe here and truly enjoyed the class. read more

Shirley Morris, the owner of the Bar Method of Englewood, is an excellent trainer. I have been the Bar loyalist for a few years and am giving myself a break from the Bar to try out other workout modalities. I do miss Shirley's kind, caring, well guided classes. She has had great instructors in the past. The location is away from hustle bustle of a downtown or a congested place. Parking is not a big problem. It's a cute studio and I always enjoyed the challenge of the Bar Method. It's a transformational workout. But I must mention that it's not a substitute for a cardio workout. You can definitely see the big change in your body's muscular built, but you still need to go for a cardio. That's the only reason I chose to take a break and push myself for a regular cardio. Love the studio!!! read more

I love this place ! The instructors are so friendly and helpful. I never participated in a bar class prior to my experience at Bar Method in Englewood and after once class, I signed up for a month unlimited. I learn more every class thanks to the patient instructors and see great results! The studio is clean, provides everything you need for class, and the staff is always welcoming. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. read more

I absolutely LOVE everything about this place. The atmosphere, staff, instructors and especially the work out. It is a work out like none other. Low impact yet you definitely see results. At first you ask yourself how light weights, a ball and a mini mat can be enough to change your body. Well, it certainly does!! You become leaner and stronger! I have definitely become a barre addict. read more

I have been a Bar fly member for over two years and every class and every teacher has been that great combination of challenging and encouraging! Bar class never disappoints! read more

Bar method classes in Englewood are challenging while achieving results that will appear sooner than most "methods". Environment could use an update. Instructors and classes are great! read more

This studio is fantastic ! All of the teachers are excellent and guide you in the right direction to the perfect workout that we all want ! I don't leave near this studio and drive 35 minutes back and forth just to attend this studio . I have done other bar method type work outs and they do not compare to the experience and work out you get at bar method englewood and soon enough bar method closter read more

I've been taking the Bar Method for the past month and all I can say it's addicting. It's a total body workout. All the instructors are fabulous and very motivating. The vibe at Closter and Englewood are energetic, warm, friendly, and inspirational. I would totally recommend these classes to anyone looking to get toned and firmed . I feel great sense of inner strength and contentment after each class! read more

I think it is refreshing and inviting that the staff takes the time to learn and remember your name. It really makes the whole experience very inviting. I also really appreciate the teachers helping with adjustments to the movements throughout class. It is nice to know how to correctly do the exercises to Get the most out of the class! read more

This is a review for the Closter location. Great low impact whole body workout. Each class offers slight different choreography, offering new challenges each time. The teachers are attentive. They spend a lot of time correcting form in a polite, non-intimidating manner. The facilities are spotless. Highly recommend. read more

Great workout. I am a fan! I wish I had a Bar Method location near home -- I would then become a regular customer.

This is my favorite place to go to when I need to work out. Time goes by so fast, the exercises are fun, the teachers are very motivating and helpful with the beginners, and it is an intense and great workout- you can feel your muscles burning and shaking for a long time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay toned or burn fat. read more

I started going to this studio a couple months after I had my baby and immediately knew it was an amazing decision. It felt so good to stretch and move my body. The studio staff was very welcoming, the teachers were beyond inspiring, and the space itself was gorgeous. As a former dancer Bar Method is my absolute favorite work out and I can't recommend it enough to any woman who wants to tone, lengthen, and loose inches. It's become my home away from home and I couldn't be happier. read more

The teachers at Bar Method are amazing! They are always watching everyone and immediately correcting their form or making modifications to ensure you are getting the maximum benefit out of each exercise. I had previously taken some classes at Pure Barre and it rarely felt like they were paying attention or taking the time to adjust you, so I didn't always feel I got the most out of my workouts there. Bar Method feels so much more professional and approachable. It's a great studio! read more

I have been working out at Bar for a year and a half now and I am ecstatic about my results. I continue to see improvement in my fitness level and look forward to every hour dedicated to my fitness and well being. Bar method is personal training in a group setting. You will receive great support and encouragement and have a great time getting fit. The staff is amazing and the facility is so relaxing and inviting. This is The best thing i have done for myself in years! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The Bar Method...where everybody knows your name. From the 1st time you step foot into this studio you will feel right at home. The staff, instructors and other clients are welcoming and encouraging. I have tried running, lifting, Zumba and even other types of barre classes but The Bar Method is by far the most effective. Shirley and the other amazing instructors emphasize proper form for your safety and to optimize your workout. I have been coming here for about 7 months and the classes are always challenging and fun. Another added perk is the studio carries beautiful activewear and accessories (Lululemon, Nancy Rose). read more

I have been going to The Bar Method Englewood for 2 years and everything about this place is amazing. The workout is intense, challenging and something that my body craves! The instructors are all wonderful, and Shirley the owner truly cares about each client and she is the reason I drive 25 minutes each way to the studio! read more

The Bar Method is a very hard, intense workout. It challenges you to become stronger and aware of your body and to strengthen muscles you forget you have. I have belonged to many gyms and tried numerous class/group workouts and nothing compares to this class.I love the small student/teacher ration in the bar basics class. I have to say that not only is the studio warm and inviting, Shirley runs the studio with grace and concern for her clients. Nina is the instructor that I have taken classes with and she is amazing and inspiring. I have been traveling and can't wait to get back to class! Thank you to all the staff who are always friendly, helpful and supportive. read more

It was my first time there. Instead of being cold and unfriendly as a lot of places in the area are, it was very warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. I will review your packages and hope to be back. Thank you for a great time! read more

I've need the bar method loyalists for 2 years. It is an amazing and very effective work out. But the studio, teachers, and owner can make a big difference. I love the Englewood studio. You always feel comfortable and welcome. Super clean, great design, excellent instructors, amazing work out. read more

Awesome place! Owner is great and instructors are all amazing (Shirley and Jill are my fave!). Amazing how they remember your name from the very first time they meet you. Workout is intense but you feel good afterwards. Highly recommended! read more

As a former dancer, I am always looking for classes that are challenging and fun. A friend has been telling me about her bar class for a couple of years but I had never managed to make it to a class. Last week, I made a trip to NJ to join her for my first Bar Method class. Based on what I read as I extensively researched the class, I believe I would probably get a well designed workout class at any of the Bar Method studios across the country (I love how the class is structured and the training is manualized to uphold the integrity of the brand across studios). I live on the UWS in NYC and I am tempted to purchase some type of package at the (sadly inconvenient) Englewood studio for several reasons. The atmosphere of the studio was almost spa like and very comfortable; I especially appreciated how clean the entire studio was and the clear attention to details. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt very welcomed and it was clear that they put effort into making everyone feel like they are a welcome part of the Englewood bar community. As a first time student in class, I felt acknowledged and welcomed in a way that I did not make me feel as though everyone would be judging my inexperience. Shirley started our class because the scheduled teacher was delayed in traffic, when Allison arrived, they transitioned seamlessly. When we began working at the barre, I was encouraged to move across the room to the taller bar which was more appropriate for my body type. In this new location, I was very fortunate to be positioned next to Debbie, another instructor. Throughout the class she subtly gave me feedback so I would better understand the optimal form for each exercise. It was like I was getting a private lesson in a group class! As a former dancer and current yogi, I really appreciate that there is such a focus on proper form an alignment. I am sure that it leads to a more optimal workout that reduces injuries - and I also enjoy having something that I can work to refine as my practice develops. Throughout class, I noticed that the instructors knew the name of every single student in class and they offered very specific refinements and labeled praise throughout class. I can definitely understand why my incredibly busy friend makes time to prioritizes her bar classes in her crazy schedule. If I lived closer, I would not hesitate to invest in an unlimited membership. Despite the inconvenient commute, I am seriously considering investing in a class package so I can come back again! read more

I love bar method! I love working out and I'm also a dancer so i immediately fell in love with the program. Every class is different and I shake the entire class. If I'm not shaking, the instructor will come and adjust me and then I start shaking again. I love the instructors, community, and the different muscles the program targets. It's lengthening and toning which is what I need. I recommend it to anyone interested in trying something new! I even took my mom who NEVER works out bc she works full time and runs a charity and she LOVED it. read more
