The team here was absolutely amazing. Having never done anything like this type of fitness class before, everyone made me feel welcome and coached me to perform better. Sloan was such a great instructor and I had a blast. The studio was beautiful and clean the retail space in lobby was a great addition. Would definitely go again!

Love love Bar Method. I’ve taken so many barre classes all over the country, barre method is by far the best. The teachers are amazing (especially Paige!) and I love that they pay attention to your form and correct you so you can make the best out of the class.

I am a weight lifter who tried the strength class for the first time and it was awesome!! It was challenging and I got a great burn. I’m even sore the following day! The instructors were amazing. They help tweak your form during the class which is very nice for proper alignment and preventing injuries. The studio itself is gorgeous and very clean. They have a retail space in the store that has nice brands that I happen to love. I very much recommend this studio!

This studio is great! I've been doing group fitness classes for decades, and had used ClassPass and class packs to visit many of the other bar studios in the city. When it made sense for me to join one studio full-time, I decided on Bar Method Cobble Hill. The most important reason is the quality of the instruction - the teachers are uniformly professional and skilled, and they take the time to correct your form and make sure you actually do the moves and get a good workout. Other studios have great classes, but there is generally much less attention to teaching you how to do it effectively. There is also now a good variety of classes - from standard bar to versions focusing on cardio, weights, or yoga-mashup - so you can definitely break a sweat and get your heart pounding and build muscle. Finally, it's a friendly place. The staff and other students make it feel like a real community. There's a "Cheers" feeling. There's a wide variety of fitness levels and ages and an effort is made to make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome.

I cannot recommend the Bar Method Brooklyn enough!! The People: -The Front Desk team goes beyond just checking you into class. They make sure to document any injuries or concerns prior to class, they chat with you about your day, they recommend books (my newest favorite came from a rec) - a truly stellar group! -The instructors really care about everyone who comes in. They are constantly making sure you're in your safest form while teaching class, adjusting music, and hyping you up. I cannot even name my favorites because everyone is just so wonderful. -There's no pretentiousness or judginess, everyone is there for a good workout in a positive environment (which you will get). The Classes: -Lots of formats to explore (Classic, Cardio, Strength, Combos etc.). -Early morning, afternoon, and evening classes are available to fit any schedule. -Some classes come with an optional "Restore" session at the end which is a long, guided stretch session - literally meditative. The Space: - Incredibly clean -Stocked showers, changing room, and lockers! -2 studios with barres of multiple heights for all heights 100% the best barre studio/workout format I've done with a great community on top of it all
