The Bar Method Salt Lake City - Sugarhouse — Attraction in Salt Lake City

I joined Salt Lake City’s Bar Method studio six months ago at a friend’s invitation. I’d heard of barre classes, had even taken a few several years ago, but nothing prepared me for the first class experience of Bar Method. After that first class I was hooked. I’d done strength classes in the past, a little Pilates, a low-impact/high cardio gym that whipped me into shape 4 years ago, but I had stopped and didn’t feel that was the right thing for my current situation. I had been taking Zumba classes that I love for 10 years but needed “something else” to get me back into shape and improve my strength, fitness, balance and flexibility.

That “something else” turned out to be Bar Method. It’s a workout I can do every single day without getting injured. It’s hard, but a feel-good hard.

Right after my first experience I signed up for unlimited monthly classes and attended 3-4 times a week. I now aim for 4-5 times a week. I love that instructors know each class member by name and walk the room to give individual attention and adjust clients as needed. Their feedback is always positive, supportive and accommodating of individual need and ability. I noticed the instructor training is very thorough; they know the body and always seek to help clients get the most of each move while protecting the joints, for example. They’re true professionals in the fitness world. I’ve not met one weak instructor.

I leave class feeling stronger but not worn out, rather, I’m energized. I leave class with improved posture which becomes so important as we age—I just turned 65.

In addition to impeccable instruction, the front desk staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Instructors stand by the desk to greet those coming to their next class. The studio is always perfectly clean and orderly, a very pleasant, soothing venue.

The cost is extremely reasonable and, to my surprise, the monthly membership is suspended if you let them know you’ll be out of town for a week or more. Never heard of anything like that before!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Bar Method; it’s...

Love this class!

I've never taken any kind of exercise class and this is really the first exercise I've ever done since I was 12...

I went to my first class last August and was hooked. Been going at least 16 times a month since then.

My body is the most toned it's ever been! My muscles have leaned out! There's no pain in my back when I carry my purse (I know, strange, but I used to not be able to carry my purse for even 10 minutes without back pain and it's not even that heavy)! I can carry it for hours with no problems now. There's less pain overall!

And, while I've always had great posture, I've been receiving even more compliments about my posture.

I've also gotten down to a size 4 from a 10 - 12. I had to get rid of a ton of clothing... 😊 I didn't know my body was capable of being a size 4...

I can do cartwheels and walk on my hands again. I'm 42 (soon to be 43) years old. Did gymnastics as a child. Over the years this became more difficult. I could do it, but not without difficulty and strained muscles and pain. I could probably hone the skill back in if I tried!

I've noticed my ability in the class has just gotten better and better. When I started there were things I could not do, but as one goes through the movements it becomes easier. However, easier does not mean the workout is less intense or effective; it just gets deeper and deeper into the muscle and I can feel that!

It's worth the money and the time; I'm "getting up there" in age and have never been more in shape or had so much energy. My only regret: not taking before and after pics...

The instructors are all very skilled and professional and know their stuff. They explain what your body is doing, such as when stretching you're effectively leaning out the muscles, etc. They're great!! It's a clean environment, there are locking lockers if one desires and even toiletries and hair ties of one forgets theirs.

Come to the Bar Method! You will not be...

I joined The Bar Method in March 2016. I consistently started going in May 2016. It was HARD even though I had been currently working out 4-5 days a week doing "body pump" I thought bar method was going to be a snap. Still to this day I feel challenged and I feel new strength building. In 2017 I had 2 major set backs which could have been worse had it not been for The Bar Method. My doctors even stated that my surgery and injury recovery time would have been double had it not been for the strength and tone in my muscles. Not only did Bar Method help with my physical recovery-I know that without a doubt that I would not have "survived" without the mental strength that I had due to Bar Method. The physical strength, the mental strength and the support of the Bar Method family is something that is hard to explain. What I do know is that I hope that in 2018 I don't have to go without it for months like I did in 2017. The Bar Method is something so different-so unique-so important. ANYONE at any stage of their lives can do the classes. I am a firm believer that if you come to class and try to be your best-YOU will transform your body. Life changing and mind changing. I can't say enough about the classes but also about the instructors/the welcoming crew and Carrie the owner! This review could go on and on.....if anyone ever doubts that this is the perfect body and mind workout-talk to me! It saved me from going...
