The Bar Method Chicago - South Loop

I cant speak highly enough about this location. The staff/instructors are amazing and individualize the workout to each person in the class. I started at The Bar Method a month ago with a left labrum tear in my hip. Along with dry needling therapy and attending these classes 3-4x a week the pain in my hip has decreased significantly. If you're unsure about this type of workout like I was, definitely try it out and take a class because I am so glad I did.

I can't say enough about this studio , the owner Julie, the instructors and everyone that works in the front to the playroom in the back. They are truly like a second family.I've met so many amazing people here and can truly call them my "friend" . Bar babes for life. Luv this studio and can't get enough of all these classes: Bar Method, Bar Move, Bar Advanced, Bar Restore and so many core exercises. I've been at this studio since 2017 . I'm being challenge daily and getting stronger and more flexible by the day. I have reached my 500 plus classes and can't wait to feel the burn and see what else is in store for 2020. Come check this studio out, you won't be disappointed. I promise!!! Another reason because there's always a "BINGO" challenge to get you motivated and into the studio. Last year's pic of the Bingo challenge and "YES" all squares are filled..come and join in the fun. This one is for you Christine and fight on!!!

I found my dream workout at The Bar Method South Loop! Amazing teachers, staff, choreography, studio and music where I leave every class with incredible burn that targets all the right muscles. Plenty of class times to fit with my schedule, and I love the variety of classes offered as well. Thanks for keeping me on my workout game Bar Method South Loop!

I hated working out until I started the Bar Method. Was hooked after my first class. Love the modifications and how knowledgeable the instructors are. This really can work for all body types and levels of flexibility. You feel great and energized after class

I'll be honest - this was one of the most intense workouts I've done in my life. In the 45-60 minute session, depending on the class you choose, you're going to get a full body workout that leaves exhausted, yet wanting more. The sign-up is easy, staff is super friendly, and the facility is clean and welcoming. The staff will help you acclimate to the environment and learn the moves. Regardless of your current shape, or previous history, it's worth a shot. Make sure you've got the proper footwear (basically socks with traction on the bottom, which they sell there) and bring water! There is ample street parking, bus and train stops near by, and a parking lot on the side, although there are restrictions.

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!

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!

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!
