The Bar Method Chicago - South Loop

I love Bar Method. It changed my life! I came to the Bar Method initially with Class pass. I never thought I would be addicted to any sort of exercise but I’ve been coming here almost everyday. The second class I took here, I met an amazing instructor named Liesl. She helped me throughout the class and I was so grateful for that. Julie the owner is so sweet. She always encourages me when she sees that I’m about to give up. All of the instructors are super helpful, energetic, friendly, and amazing with names. They really help you with form. The studio is very beautiful and spotless. There are lockers in the front by check in, along with workout clothes and grippy socks. They also have a complimentary wide selection of coffees and teas. I like that they have showers and toiletries. I am so happy that I found an exercise that I am in love with. I really enjoyed Bar Method and would definitely recommend Bar Method to anyone who is looking for a low impact but effective workout!

Bar Method has been my regular fitness routine of choice since 2009. With all of the new classes, studios, and fitness fads out there, it’s easy to jump from one thing to another. While I’ve tried other workout classes, I’ve always come back to Bar Method. The instructors and owners are dedicated, friendly and have fostered a strong and empowered community in Chicago! Bar Method South Loop is my home studio—Julie has done an incredible job with the space and bringing new events into the mix. Highly recommend Bar Method South Loop!

Amazing workout and staff! The instructors really care about your form and are very welcoming! So happy I found my way back to The Bar Method after a few years of trying other workouts-hands down this is the best workout for building strength, flexibility, toning and lean, long muscles.

Joining at this facility was one of the best exercise decisions I have made. Classes are extremely challenging but all levels of fitness can participate. The instructors are very hands-on and help with adjustments and individualize exercises as needed. After just three weeks I am already starting to feel stronger. I am very motivated to keep coming back because the exercises work your muscles at a very deep level yet feel very safe. Every instructor I have had has experience and a strong knowledge of body mechanics. The classes offer challenges for both beginners and fit/advanced level participants.

I am so happy that I found this class and the South Loop studio! The South Loop location is very convenient, with great amenities, and a friendly staff.I recommend The Bar Method to everyone. The movements are really subtle and really intense! The instructors are also extremely kind and call you by your first name. Their priority is to ensure that you are maintaining your alignment to avoid injury, while also challenging yourself to become even stronger.There are several lockers and two showers for your convenience.You will not regret trying a class! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I have been taking classes at Bar Method South Loop since July 2019, and I could not speak more favorably about my experience. The workout is incredibly effective - I had terrible back and shoulder pain that has improved markedly with strengthening, and I have gained a lot of functional strength. Julie and her staff are kind, professional, and detail-oriented. They encourage excellent technique and foster a supportive class environment. I highly recommend this studio to anybody that is interested in a bar class.

BEST PART OF MY DAYI was introduced to the Bar Method 10 years ago and have been a devotee ever since (warning, it’s addictive). The workouts are always challenging, yet as I’ve aged, Bar® is still easy on my joints. It’s truly a full-body workout; strengthening, toning and stretching all the muscle groups. As a result of this uniquely designed and well-choreographed workout, my posture is better and whole body is stronger, especially my core. I walk taller and am more mindful of my posture thanks to Bar.Julie, the owner of the South Loop studio, is fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and motivates us to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones, while always focused on teaching us good form. She really cares about her clients and it shows. She’s also hired well, as all the instructors are great and bring their awesome energy to every class. I could never push myself at home or at a gym the way they do.I love the camaraderie, diversity and energy at this Bar Method studio. It’s a judgment-free place and all can discover why Bar really works no matter if you’re just starting out or are already into fitness. Bar meets you where you are, so it works for all of us. Every class is challenging, yet fun, and all you have to do is show up. Before you know it, the hour is up, and you join your Bar-mates in a feeling of accomplishment for doing something amazing for yourself. And that, for me, is the reason the Bar Method remains the BEST part of my day.

The Bar Method South Loop is my favorite place to work out! The instructors are fantastic and will guide you through a challenging workout whether it’s your first or 500th class. The amenities are great (lockers, showers, free coffee/tea, child care on site), but the best part of this studio is the workout and people. I’ve never been stronger or more flexible and have made wonderful friends here. Highly recommend!

Hands down, my favorite workout in Chicago. The studio is beautiful & the classes are challenging. I love how much the teachers focus on form to ensure safety & good technique. Highly recommend!

Love this studio! I've been coming here since the studio opened 2 years ago. The instructors are super helpful and make sure you are always getting the most out of your workout. Even after 2 years, there are always new moves and different classes to take so it's always a new challenge!
