I've been doing barre in this location for 6 months. First I was hesitant to try because i thought it would not feel like a workout. I am very active in running, biking,... I had to look for alternative workouts that is less impact due to multiple sports injuries. I have to admit I'm totally addicted to this workout and big fan of instructors who works there. They are all really nice and trying to motivate people to challenge to reach their limit. from a newbie to the regular folks that come, you'll get attention as you needed to achieve the workout you came for. Barre class itself doesn't put much work load to joints so I don't experience knee pain like what can be endured during runs. They offer a variety including barre basic class for beginners, level 2 class and bar move class for harder workouts. All can be intense as you would need to listen to the instructor and make sure you are practicing what is to be done. I have lost inches my waist. I feel a difference in my core and other parts of my body and never been so flexible in my life. Hope others will experience this class and have the same experience as I did. read more

For starters, the Bar Method Englewood is the most beautiful setting to work out in. The decor is lovely, pristine, and spa-like. The studio is not only gorgeous but unlike other gym environments the air quality is pristine because of the high ceilings and fabulous ceiling fans. The sun streams in through the oversized windows - lifting ones spirits while working each muscle to the fullest. The students are greeted at the door with warm, friendly smiles from the professional staff. You don't get better instruction because the teachers all go through an intense training program through their corporate headquarters. There is no comparison in the area...trust me I have lived here my whole life and tried it all! The program is designed in conjunction with physical therapists and the have modifications for every type of medical issue or condition. My doctor said the only way to avoid knee surgery or continued cortisone injections was to strengthen my muscles. Luckily, my three years at the studio has saved me from going under the knife or all further injections. I love this place and you will too! read more

When I first started bar classes I thought of it as a supplement to running. Over the last year and a half, I've come to realize the Bar Method is much more than a supplement. It's something I've come to truly love. It's helped me lose 15 pounds, and 3.5% of body fat, but these aren't the reasons I love it. It's the atmosphere, the challenge and the feeling of how can one short hour transform my body with such ease? Over the years, I've joined gyms, done boot camps, and spin classes, but the Bar Method is different because there's a focus on form. The instructors are constantly watching, complimenting and correcting to make sure you get the most out of the exercises. It creates a very motivating environment. Like any exercise, what you put into it is what you'll get out of it, but what you'll find is you're more willing to be challenged, and therefore more willing to put that much more into it. You should give it a try. read more

When you find yourself bounding out of bed to make a 5:30 am class and not minding the ride from Nyack one bit, you know you've found a special place! I started at the Closter studio about 4 months ago and now go back and forth between Closter and Englewood because the classes and the teachers are all amazing. Each teacher brings something unique to the class and not a single one of them disappoints! After reading other reviews about how The Bar Method can change your body and mindset and how the teachers are all attentive and professional, I am happy to say that it is ALL TRUE. On top of that, everyone is having FUN! I've never experienced anything quite like it, and I've tried everything from hot yoga to spin to Zumba and just a plain gym membership. The Bar Method (and owner Shirley and all of her BAR-tenders) will keep me coming back! read more

I love everything about the Bar Method in Englewood and Closter. I'm passionately addicted to the exercise regimen. The studios are beautiful. The owner, teachers and trainees are fabulous. They engage, motivate and inspire one all the time. The Bar community is made up of wonderful people; and the Bar "tenders" who greet you every day, are always friendly and helpful. The exercise program is my favorite all time. Once I tried Bar I never stopped. That was 7 years ago. It does wonders for the body. You develop flexibility, strength, tone and a leanness that no other exercise does all in one. And if you have any osteoporosis or bone issues, the "up on your toes" portion of the exercises - otherwise known as weight bearing - actually reverses and prevents bone deterioration. I recommend this exercise program to all!!! read more

The Bar Method is an amazing, body changing workout that will leave you sore in places you never knew existed. The teachers know what they are talking about, and will have you shaking from start to finish. What makes the Englewood studio so special is the combination of the people and the atmosphere. While the studio does not have showers or towels, Shirley did a fantastic job of creating a relaxing, spa-like enviornment; the studio itself is nothing less than gorgeous. In addition, the entire Bar Method Englewood community is one of the most welcoming, motivated, and supportive group of people I have ever met--staff and students alike. While other studios in the area may have more convenient parking and accommodations, if you are looking for a true Bar Method experience the Englewood studio is your best option. read more
