    I've been doing Bar Method for 7+ years and just knew when I moved to Detroit that I'd need one here. I am biased, but I just love this community. The workout is the best barre-based workout you'll find anywhere because Bar Method takes the most time to train their teachers in hands on & verbal adjustments. Plus all the moves get the seal of approval from physical therapists which makes this workout on of the best way to stay safe & injury free!

    I love love love starting my days with Bar Method. I am one who usually needs 6 cups of coffee to make it through the day but every morning I start at Bar Method, I have found myself only needing one cup. It keeps me energized throughout the whole day. After only 5 classes, I have begun to notice an improvement in my posture & flexibility. I feel stronger each time I leave the studio! The instructors are incredible! They offer modifications & adjustments to make certain your alignment is correct & whichever part of the body you are working on is protected.

    The Bar Method is truly an amazing, full body workout. It is by far the most effective workout I’ve ever done. The classes consist of small, isometric movements that are intense and quickly improve your strength, shape, flexibility, and posture. When I first began taking classes 7 years ago, I immediately became hooked. The classes, while intense are enjoyable and pass quickly, but it was the results I quickly felt and saw from each class that kept me coming back 5 times a week. Unfortunately, I moved to Detroit and took a few years off from The Bar Method. I tried other barre workouts but nothing compared to The Bar Method, so needless to say, when it was announced a studio was opening in Detroit I was ecstatic! The downtown Detroit studio is beautiful and the teachers are very knowledgeable, encouraging, helpful and make class enjoyable! After a month of classes I have begun to feel and see changes in my strength and body and look forward to my hour at the barre each day!

    Joining the Bar Method community has been one of the best decisions I made this year! This beautiful studio is well equipped, CLEAN, and filled with the friendliest people you will ever meet! Every instructor is very well trained and knowledgeable and the hour classes fly by. I've noticed a difference not only physically but mentally as well. Going to class is one of my favorite parts of my day, and I encourage you to try it out!

    This workout can be very challeging, but stick it out! I saw improvement in my strength, muscle tone, and posture very quickly and I'm no gym rat. The instructors are awesome and don't ever make you feel "less than". Great type of workout when you have some orthopedic issues and you can modify. Every little inch makes it a new experience. Love the frequent classes throughout the day. The facility is beautiful and calming and they don't give you the hard sell all the time for products and services. Aware of what they offer but not badgered to do more than I can. Highly recommend!

    A beautiful studio that is kept very clean. I have been going to Bar Method for about a year now, and I have seen incredible results. I have noticed particularly changes in the definition of my upper back and abs. All of the instructors are knowledgable and friendly, and they go out of there way to make sure you are performing each exercise correctly. I would highly recommend The Bar Method to anyone looking for a fitness regime. It works for me because I get a well-rounded workout that increases my strength and posture.

    I just finished my third week of coming 3-4 times a week and I feel great! The team of instructors are absolutely amazing; they keep me coming back week after week. They don’t hesitate to jump in with adjustments and modifications to ensure you’re doing the movements safely and effectively. Don’t be scared to start from ground zero; they’ll teach you everything you need to know and as long as you’re consistent, you’ll feel the difference within the first couple weeks. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sold on the workout after my very first class but I’m now absolutely loving it!!

    I attended a yoga and wine tasting event held at this studio; and, received a free bar class as part of the gift bag from the event. The studio is beautiful, with bright and clean facilities; and, Christina and Cheryl are friendly and great instructors. They use voice and physical adjustments (will say your name or come move you into the correct position) and recognition (holding the right posture, nice leg shaking, etc.). Since my free class, I've been going for the past month and I already see and feel the results. My stomach is slimmer and arms and legs are feeling stronger. And I love this work out since it's effective without me sweating profusely.

    Bar Method Detroit is wonderful! I am prepping for my wedding and was looking to change my workout. My sister discovered Bar Method and recommended that I try it. Everyone there is so sweet, encouraging, and driven. I have been taking Bar classes at least three times a week for three weeks now and have seen a huge change. I now have definition in my arms, abs, and legs. I highly recommend it. As for the studios, they are clean and organized. Each studio has a nice view of the city as well. There are also lockers and showers available.

    Beautiful space and wonderful instructors that are welcoming and helpful. The Bar Method is locally owned, but all instructors go through a rigorous, national training program - you know you'll get a top-notch, proven work-out! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their core, improve their posture and join a friendly, positive community within Detroit.
