The Bar Method

I have been going to this location and workout for 3 months and cannot speak highly enough of the staff, location and workout. Every class is different, and always challenging, but fully inspired with motivated instructors. I am hooked!!!

If you are looking for the best workout place, look no further. The staff is highly trained and helps you throughout your workout making sure you are safely doing each exercise correctly. They keep you motivated all 60 min! Wish I had started Bar Method years ago! Love Bar Method Winter Park!

Love this studio and workout! I have been coming to the Bar Method for 2 years now and not only has my body changed in amazing ways, but I have gotten more mentally tough pushing through every hard class along the way. I’m more confident than ever, and carry myself with the posture to back it up… others have noticed the difference too! Not to mention it is an amazing community of well-​rounded women, clients and instructors, who I look forward to seeing day after day. BMWP is top notch and I am here for life!

This is one of the most effective workouts I’ve ever done! Last year I made it my New Years resolution to get back to exercising and tried out the Bar Method. All of my life I’ve struggled with keeping up with a workout plan. I’d go for a few months and then, at some point, I’d fall out of routine and stop going… only to wait for the motivation to kick back in (possibly months later). I’m still going 3 – 4 times a week a year later and want to go on a regular basis. I’ve gone down a size, and just in the last month and a half, I’ve lost 2 inches.
At the Bar Method, the Instructors go through vigorous training on safety and technique, so you can feel comfortable that when asked to hold a position like Arabesque or Fold-​over, you know they’re watching your form constantly.
Additionally, the instructors have turned the Bar Method into its own community by planning seasonal challenges, happy hours, and special events for clients.
If you haven’t tried it, you need to!

The Bar Method has positively impacted my life! I love the one hour workout, how challenging it is, both physically and mentally. I love the sense of accomplishment. I love the the amazing & educated instructors, who genuinely care about you & your form. And the uplifting clients who «embrace the shake» with you in class. I love how clean the studio is, and the variety of class times too.

Incredible workout, incredible staff, incredible experience ! If you want to get lean and tone while having fun, this is the workout for you. Beware, you will become addicted to this amazing workout that gives you strength and flexibility.

I’ve been a member for two years now and plan to continue. There are clear results in my flexibility and strength. The teachers are encouraging and make it a point to make sure that exercises are done correctly and that you are working at your individual level. It’s a great environment and I look forward to each class.

The bar method is not only the best exercise routine I’ve ever experienced but also is a way of uplifting my spirit. The high level of professionalism of instructors combined with their fun and friendly way of teaching is all I need to feel great after my work out no matter how tough my day has been. The studio is very clean and neat and all the staff are extremely helpful. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for an addictive exercise routine. :)

This is the only exercise studio where you get a full body workout without high impact. I have used personal trainers, gone to every kind of exercise class there is, and worked out on my own. Bar Method is fun, never gets easy, and the instructors make sure you work hard without losing proper form. The staff is warm and friendly. This is also a great value! No need for any other gym memberships if you go here.

All instructors are very professional and encouraging. Very clean and welcoming studio. Good for experienced ballerinas and newbies alike.

I had the opportunity to try out ClassPass for a month when they first came to Orlando.
During my month trial I tried out classes at three different locations. The Bar Method Winter Park was BY FAR my favorite. Although I love yoga and will always do it, The Bar Method was just amazing to me. I used all three of my classes there (you can go to each location three times per month with ClassPass) and was itching to go back!
I wasn’t sure what I was going to think about it in the beginning, but it was the first class other than yoga that I left thinking «I HAVE to do that again!» I went to Bar Basics at The Bar Method Winter Park for my first two classes. I was warned that this class might be a little tough and they weren’t kidding. But it was awesome! It worked every muscle and I left the class feeling energized.
There are a lot of classes that I can’t take because of my hip and knee problems, but in this class I was able to do everything during the hour long class. I came home sore, but I knew it was going to turn into that «good» kind of sore. I hate using weight machines at the gym and I think this class would be a great way to build and tone muscle. Within an hour of getting home from class I signed up to go back again next week.
For my third class at The Bar Method Winter Park I went to the Friday evening Mixed Level class with Mimi. The class starts at 5:00 pm so I was able to go there straight from work which was great. I thought it was the perfect way to end the week and start the weekend. This class was A LOT harder than the Bar Basics class, but I loved every minute of it. This third class was really what sold me on The Bar Method. The teachers are so encouraging, nice, and help you make sure that you are doing everything right without making you feel like a big dummy.

I tried out the Bar Method with a trial ClassPass and was VERY impressed with the staff and the facilities.
The location is convenient and the facilities are beautiful. Everything was very clean and lockers were available for personal storage. I was very impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the equipment. Everything felt so new and nice. The friendliness and service of the staff really blew me away. From the beginning, I was treated so nicely by the girl at the front desk. Since it was my first time, she walked me into the room, made sure I got appropriate weights and equipment and found a spot in class. The instructor, Mimi was great. She was very friendly and encouraging and was sure to walk around class in the beginning to introduce herself to anyone she had not met. She used names in the class, which was very impressive and cultivated a friendly, comfortable, «team» environment.
The workout itself was killer and was comparable to all of the other barre classes in the area. I am tempted to come back for the new student discount and am still recommending for friends to try all the time.

My first time at The Bar Method today. Tip #1: never go after leg day at the gym! it was pretty tough. The staff from the start was so sweet and accommodating. The instructor knew I was new and personally came to me for modifications and assist me for a proper form. I will be back. Customer service is.

This is the BEST workout EVER! The Bar Method has changed my life, from the excellent team of instructors to the most intense workout I’ve ever done, it is an incredible experience, try it, it’s hard not to come back when you see results after 2 – 3 weeks!

After one week, I was totally addicted. My only complaint is there is not one in Vero Beach where I spend my weekends. Hint, Hint, Hint! i have been going for three weeks and what a difference. And if you think you are too old, I am 52 and so glad I found this place.

When I walked in for my first class, they instantly recognized me as a newbie. It was either the «deer in headlights» look or the fact that my body was no where near as in shape as everyone else. They walked me around for a small tour of the facilities to get me acclimated.
One of the instructors, Sarah, escorted me into the room and explained everything I would need to start. She was great throughout the entire class, making sure to explain each movement and provided lots of encouragement. I appreciated it so much!
I’ve done classes with two other instructors as well and I’m glad to see they are all as great as Sarah. They make an effort to learn your name to help provide personalized instruction throughout each class.
They offer a new client special — 30 days of unlimited classes for $ 69. I recommend starting out with a couple of Bar Basics classes (Saturdays and Mondays only), then trying out Mixed Level.
I highly recommend this as a fun and challenging workout. Embrace the shake!

As you know, I LOVE me some barre classes. I got the new client special — which is $ 69 for the unlimited monthly classes.
Well first attempt here was an adventure. I almost threw up about halfway through the class and had to leave. #embarrassing. I guess taking 2 months off of working out was not the best idea.
The staff was really nice. They gave me some apple juice and chocolate to get my blood sugar back up.
In comparing the three Barre studios in Winter Park. The Bar Method is more on par with barre 54. They have the carpeted workout room. What’s nice though is there are two rooms. So they can run two classes as once. They also have a shower if you need it. Interestingly, they do not have Sunday classes.
Though there is a Bar Method studio in Dr. Phillips, you can’t use your classes interchangeably between the studios. If you get the full membership you get up to 4 classes each month that you can use in Dr. P. but that’s it.
Despite only making it through half the class. I’m really sore today. My triceps and hamstrings mostly. Goal for next class: Make it through the whole thing!

Of course I am a fan! I am a member of the DC Bar Method and need to get me tuck on when visiting the family. Luckily there is a studio in Orlando and another one about to open up.
So…to rate this Bar Method. Excellent. The staff is outstanding and very friendly. The classes are comparable to the DC classes… which is a good thing. You know what to expect and there is consistency. I just wish they had more classes.

I can’t say enough great things about the Bar Method in general and the team at Bar Method Winter Park. I’ve been going for 2 weeks now and EVERY instructor has been fantastic– they are all patient, kind, and knowledgeable.
The studio is beautiful and the whole environment feels accepting– a judgment-​free zone! Your classmates and instructors are there to cheer you on and encourage you for making a positive life choice, not judge you for being a little heavier or out of shape.
Bar classes are definitely more costly than a gym membership, but it’s the only exercise program I’ve ever tried that’s gotten me to look forward to going back for more.
I’m hooked!

Tuck, tuck, tuck…
Bar method, like food trucks, is one of those things I’ve been hearing about from my cool west coast friends for a while now, and hoping it would eventually migrate to our area. Honestly, the more food trucks we get, the more I need a workout like bar method. This is the second studio in our area, I believe, that specializes in the method, and the first that is part of the trademarked Bar Method™ chain that is the best known.
I attended the second open-​to-​the-​public class today and ABSOLUTELY got a workout. (I should mention that for this only being the second official class, the instruction was very polished and flowed well! Kendra gave great direction and coaching even when I wanted to collapse due to my burning quadriceps.) The one hour class goes through warmup, arm work, extensive core and lower body work, and cooldown. Much more of the focus is on strength than on cardio. The instructors will correct your form throughout the class, which I very much appreciate. Though I do yoga and pilates fairly regularly, I have no dance background at all, so many of the small moves that work the legs, glutes and core were unfamiliar to me and extremely challenging.
The two studios are small but did not feel overcrowded, and the locker room is very nice, as well. My coworker asked me after the class if Winter Park Village patrons can see you working out and the answer is no if anyone else has this concern :) Pricing is something like $ 22/​class, with a new student special for $ 100 the first month. Tip: bring socks (you can’t practice without them, though they do sell them on site).
