The Bar Method Portland - Pearl District

This is a consistently awesome workout with definite visible results. If you want long and lean, this is your place. As far as exercising goes, bar is really minimally painful. I never dread going and I feel GREAT after. The instructors are so nice and funny and positive—they are very motivating without being over the top. A couple of years ago I was having terrible knee pain that was really impacting my running, and since I’ve been doing bar, I am cured. My posture is way better too. I am not an exercise class kind of person but I will always come to bar!

I love this place! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and all the details have been taken into account: there are extra spray deodorant & hair ties, available showers, and towels galore!Instructors and assistants help you to find the perfect posture in every pose, which I love because I'm always concerned that I've got something wrong in other group classes. Some people who really dislike being called out in a group might find this off putting, but every person in the room is given a verbal adjustment at some point. Any time I have a question I have been given answers with loads of detail to help me build certain muscles or understand why something is. There is a lot of encouragement, too!

I joined during their monthly special, and it has been an overall amazing and positive experience so far. I've participated in over 10 classes, and every time I go in, the staff is so warm and welcoming and puts me at ease immediately. The facilities are clean and decorated to make you feel like you're being cocooned in warmth. The rooms are large with high ceilings, and there are ceiling fans to help cool you off when things are getting hot. The instructors know you by name, helping to correct any postures that need it, and they are tough (but kind)! I can already see changes in my body- the shaking legs and total body exhaustion is paying off. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get a challenging whole body work out.

What do I love about The Bar Method? Everything! Great results, fun workout, nice facilities, personable staff. Update: I can do 30 push-ups now and I’ve lost 7.5 lbs!

I decided to try The Bar Method Portland after being a member at the studio in San Francisco so I tried it on Classpass. This was the biggest mistake. I arrived a few minutes early to class and tried walking in to take the class but the person at the front desk wouldn’t let me in. I had already signed the waivers and she said because I was new I couldn’t go in. I told her I had a membership at Bar Method in San Francisco and even named the addresses of both studios. But still wasn’t let into the class. On top of this they let in 3-4 women after me. I wouldn’t have been so upset if they didn’t let any people in after they had rejected me.After writing them, the owner completely backed up the employee working and didn’t offer a class to make up for the awful customer service. After driving across town, paid for parking, they couldn’t let me in the class. I will attend other locations as I love the other bar method studios in the bay area but not this one. I have recently sought out other bar studios pure barre, barre3 and industrial barre who seem to care about customer service.

I love The Bar Method. Have been going on and off for several years now. It truly is the best bang for my buck. I like that I can give one hour of my time and my whole body is rewarded. It's always a full body workout from biceps, triceps to glutes and thighs. With intermittent stretching throughout. As a former dancer I appreciate the attention to form and body positioning. The instructors are thoroughly trained to help keep you safe as well as getting you the most out of your workout. It's amazing what a correction of a half inch this way or that way with your leg or arm will do for effectiveness!! If you want a challenge and to really see what you're capable of, try it out! Dont forget to drink lots of water after and get your tub ready for soaking. You can thank me later. Enjoy!!

I’ve been going to Bar Method for a year now. I love it. For a whole year I’ve loved it. The classes are as hard as you make them, they are offered at different times of the day for convenience and I’ve met so many new people. The instructors are all well prepared, they stay on time and all encourage self confidence and strength.I’ve never been a “class go-er”’but certainly this is far beyond my expectations. Looking forward to another year!

I've tried several barre classes in Portland, and The Bar Method is by far the most thorough workout with the most knowledgeable instructors. I also appreciate how kind everyone at the studio is, making an effort to know your name immediately and greet you cheerfully every class!

I’ve been working out here for a little over a year and this is by far my favorite (and most effective) workout. The teachers are passionate and go out of their way to challenge you, while ensuring you have proper form. 100+ classes later, I’m still being pushed to go further - and I love it!

Class instructors are friendly and extremely motivating. They know how to help you make adjustments to form to make sure you’re doing every movement right! Also, plenty of class time options to go as often as I would like.
