I've been a Bar Method client since their early days in Charlotte with free community classes as they built out their beautiful South Park location. I grew up in NJ near one of the original Bar Method studios, so was very familiar with the workout and what to expect. In general, that's a huge benefit of Bar Method vs. other Barre classes - the consistency and safety of the workout, quality of the instructors and individual attention given. Bar Method goes above and beyond to ensure every person in class gets their best workout.
More specifically, I love the South Park studio and their team of amazing instructors for several reasons:
1) Community created - the instructors and even other class attendees are welcoming and engaging. Even if I've been away from Bar for a few months trying other things, I'm always welcomed back with open arms - and a consistent mix of encouragement and individualized corrections.
2) Gorgeous studio - you can tell the Bar Method has a strong emphasis on the smaller details. Cleanliness and comfort are superb compared to other studios in town.
3) Ownership - I was shocked and disappointed to see another reviewer specifically call out Autumn as being rude or dismissive. This is the opposite of my experience and observation. Autumn is incredibly humble, approachable and supportive - and one of the main reasons I continue to come back. I strongly felt the need to counter this negative review since I can guarantee 99% of Charlotte Bar Method clients would agree with mine!
I cannot recommend Bar Method highly enough to ANYONE. It truly is a studio that welcomes women of all ages, shapes and fitness levels (and the occasional brave men!). They're also incredibly accommodating to injuries and will work with you on adjustments.
It's rare to be in a class with such a broad mix of people and get a consistently good workout - but that's what you're guaranteed there given the superb training of their instructors and proven workout methodology.
