Whether it's your first or 500th class (I'm 24 classes away from this milestone) you can always find a way to challenge yourself. Wanna get into shape and have fun while doing it? Come join us!

2024 Review

Popping in to update my review! Still love this spot and I still get a great workout everytime. The new classes and exercises are great so you're always experiencing something different. The friendly staff keeps me coming back!

I was a regular at SLU, now I'm a regular at Phinney Ridge! Kat and Mari opened the studio in the middle of the pandemic. I commend them as it isn't easy starting a business let alone starting one when many were on the verge of closing. Thankfully they succeeded and brought the same energy and staff over from SLU! The instructors always make sure they know each person's name. You can tell that they're invested in you getting the best workout possible. I feel challenged everytime and have seen the results of that hard work straight away. It's my fave workout and I highly recommend Bar Method...

Back in January I found myself in a slump. I was unmotivated and my body felt the weakest it’s ever been. I needed to feel strong again. Putting on YouTube Pilates just wasn’t cutting it and I could not pull myself out of my slump on my own. This location is close enough for me to walk to and I was willing to try anything to get myself excited about exercising again. It’s safe to say I am now completely obsessed. I love that you can modify all movements, whether you need more of a challenge or you’re accommodating an injury or you just need to build more strength. The instructors and the girls at the front desk all know your name and introduce themselves if you haven’t met yet. They’re welcoming and have amazing energy. The best part is that they provide you with feedback and encouragement on your movement not only for your safety but also so you can improve and really feel the workout as it was intended. There’s a variety of classes (the cardio one is so intense) and the instructors mix it up so you don’t do the same routine over and over. I actually debated leaving this review because I want to gatekeep the location so it doesn’t get too packed but they really deserve all the praise. It’s clean, welcoming, and well worth the...

I have been a regular participator in the Bar Method’s approach to exercise for the past nine years, attending several Bar Method studios in the area and in other states. I am 66 years old and have exercised most of my life, but in my early 50’s, my preferred form of exercise—-long-distance running—-was no longer a viable option, as my knees began to experience quite a bit of damaging wear and tear. After trying biking, working out at a gym, and power walking, among a variety of other things, I was finally introduced to the Bar Method. I was hooked immediately because this approach works all of the muscle groups to the point of fatigue and then stretches them, which keeps me from creating bulky muscles but rather long, lean, functional muscles. The Phinney Ridge studio has managed to weather the storms of COVID-19, offering a variety of class options in a safe and healthy way, both in person and online. Their service is a true example of high quality combined with genuine caring and problem-solving, at a time when the problems have been coming hard and fast all year. This studio is helping me hang on to my lifelong passion for fitness and strength. Thank you for being...
