Just the right balance of challenging and helpful. The first few times will seem confusing (watch some YouTube to get the lingo) then it will click and you will love it!

Please be aware, their attendance policy does not allow for wiggle room if you are running late even just a few minutes. I Came to class right when it was supposed to start. Doors were already locked. I knocked on the door but no one answered. You cannot contact the studio on the phone, so there was no way to send a heads up to the studio that I will attend class, but that I would be there just when it closes its doors. I understand being prompt for class but I think a 5 minute grace period is not unreasonable because parking is a challenge and the studio is located on the second floor. Totally turned off by this!

Went here with my wife and absolutely loved the experience. The first time I did a Barre excercise was at this gym. Highly recommended!

I love this studio! The staff and other members are warm and welcoming and very inclusive. The work out is amazing too and you work all those small muscles you donβt even think about. I love all the personalized touches. I definitely recommend.

I love the Bar Method experience. It has helped me tone and build more core strength like no other type of workout.

I haven't worked my body out in about 5 years. My balance has been off and my strength has lowered. I have been in for three classes, and I must say how warm and welcoming everyone is. I was a bit nervous to be judged, but this studio is the absolute opposite judgemental. I am sore, but I am ready for my next class. Thank you for being patient and kind to everyone. π€

Love The Bar Method Honolulu! The staff and instructors are all SO friendly and accommodating. They made sure to orient me and set me up with someone next to me I could follow for my first class. They gave gentle adjustments and encouragement throughout the class and sent me home with a cute gift after my first class.
The New Client Special is an awesome deal, especially if you're not sure about barre. It's not the kind of work out I'm used to, like HIIT or boot camp, where you are dripping in sweat and feel like dying after. Instead it's small, intentional, controlled movements that work your muscles SO MUCH more than you'd expect. It really takes mental fortitude to not quit when your legs are shaking mid class π. You will definitely feel the burn during class and the soreness of building muscles a day or two later!
The studio is clean and tidy, equipped with all you'd need: Shoe cubby, lockers, bathroom, water, props, straps and weights. You can purchase grippy Barre socks in many sizes and colors if you want, and the esthetic of the studio is super cute π₯°

To be brief, inconsistent policies and practices. For instance, during Homecoming weekend we were told the challenge started on Sunday, but not Saturday. (Sunday had a waitlist. Saturday did not).
I even overheard a complaint about different starting times on Sundays. Apparently some Sunday classes start a half hour later than the ones on Saturday.
I signed up for the βunlimitedβ pass, but if I wanted to take three classes in one day, I would be charged 29 dollars. Personally I wouldnβt want to take three classes in one day, but why would someone with an βunlimitedβ class pass be charged?
There are more inconsistencies, but Iβm keeping it brief.
My fellow students are great and encouraging.
The instructors are great. This is one of the older or veteran studios, so new clients could feel left out, but the instructors really go out of their way to be helpful.
I shouldnβt feel a sense of anxiety or be worried over inconsistent policies and practices while Iβm trying to stay holistically fit. That defeats the purpose.
Caution: you cannot park in certain spots. I get that Bar Method people are most likely to be βfitβ. However, some people do have injuries and still want to take classes. Being upstairs and having restrictive parking can be a turn off for some potential clients.

Purchased a groupon to try this studio out and got a month unlimited. I have almost 15 classes under my belt and have seen&felt changes to my body already. The 60 min class goes by super fast you forget you are workingout...but the burn reminds you!
The instructor's are very helpful &hands on to make sure you doing moves correctly. I hope to continue taking classes!

I started off for the first time this past August, due to a recommendation by my friend Heidi
when visiting her. I attend barre classes in Germany and already loved it but the Bar Method really changed it! The workouts are super fun but also challenging at the same time that I got hooked so I kept coming back throughout my visit in summer. I returned this past december and just recently in the beginning of January when I got back from Germany. I went for the one week unlimited passes while I stayed and loved it! That gives me to take as many classes while I am there. Needless to say, the instructors are amazing! They motivate you, they know exactly what they are doing and the entire staff is amazingly friendly and you feel really welcomed to the Bar Method Ohana οΏ½ I will definitely come back to the studio in town, the next time I am on the island οΏ½

The instructors are warm and friendly and keep the classes engaging. The Honolulu location has a shower facilities, lockers and changing area. Great facilities when I come in the middle of the day. Also love that parking is available. Very convenient. The Kailua location also has parking readily available. Instructors are also great. Love the 6 am classes, as the sun rises during class.

This is a gem of a studio tucked into an unexpected, second floor space. The studio is beautiful. Large waiting area. Free lockers and towels. The actual space where class is taught is spacious and clean. The staff is helpful and friendly from the second you walk in the door. The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. She knew the names of the clients. She gave hands on adjustments. The class was challenging and fun. I have tried many different styles of barre, and I am a barre instructor. I would recommend Bar Method to the novice all the way to the experienced barre enthusiast.

ALL of the instructors are fantastic! The classes are well worth the time. I've discovered muscles in my body I never knew existed. Like a yoga class, Bar accepts every body type, every age, & at every flexibility level. No matter how often you attend during the week, if you go consistently, you'll see improvements with your body within weeks. Plus there's mints and other amenities in the dressing area.

This is the best workout, ever, for myself and fellow sisters everywhere. The drills are designed to sculpt your body, so you look and feel like a fit hottie -- just look at the instructors and you'll be a believer! Plus, the studio is lovely -- clean, fresh, bright and charming. Everyone is so positive and supportive. Great energy. Just wish there was one in Granite Bay...

My introduction to Barre Method was a motivating and fun experience. After two kidos and being sedentary for 25 years, it was refreshing to have the instructor and teams encouragement during my awkward moments :). It was not only a great work out but it was a life changing experience. My posture has never been better!
Thank you to the great staff and owner who made me feel so welcome!! I am truly hooked!

I love the personization! I walk in and am greeted by name! During class, the instructor uses my name and helps to correct my form. The staff is 1000% open to helping students with questions, concerns, or proper technique...all to ensure we have the best workout possible! I highly recommend The Bar Method Ohana!

I have been attending Bar Method classes for 6 weeks now and can honestly say this is an amazing kick your butt workout. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Always greeting you right as you walk in the door. Instructors encourage you to do more and push yourself further. If you're thinking it's not for me or it's too hard or you're ashamed of getting fixed/adjusted too much don't be. This place is not that kind of place.
My fitness background before Bar Method was very, very minimum. Maybe a short 15 min walk with my pup but that's about it. After my 6 weeks here I can definitely see a change in my strength, posture, and just over all well being. I highly encourage everyone to try these classes. That includes men too. No shame. I would also highly suggest at least a month commitment because I didn't feel like it clicked till about week 2.
I have taken classes at both the Honolulu and Kailua locations and enjoy both. The Honolulu studio has a little more amenities but the Kailua one is just as good. The equipment is newer and is located right above Cinnamons which could be a positive/negative ; P
The only downside is that these classes are kind of pricey. I'm trying to convince my husband to let me continue but so far no luck.
Hope this was helpful and hope you enjoy these classes just as much as I have.

The Bar Method will kick your body into shape. Love the workout but the atmosphere of the Oahu location is lacking. Lacking friendliness, attentiveness and positivity.
I've been to studios around the country. I took many classes here in Oahu so my opinion is based on my experience over several months. The Oahu studios are lovely, finding parking can be a challenge. Some instructors are great but the turnover is consistent so that speaks to management. It's not the warm, friendly, accepting environment you would expect.
A number of staff members weren't very inviting or positive, which should be a requirement, especially in management. The studio would benefit from a good cleaning in between classes in order to avoid clients spreading germs on the bar. I also don't want to lean into someone else's sweat on the mirrors. One instructor admitted she was told to clean the studio prior to the next class but she flat out refused. The studio is small. There is a need for personal space in barre classes & more space would be a benefit for this location. Classes fill up & it can be difficult to work out when people cluster around you, leaving no space to move. There should be a cap on the number of bodies allowed per class.

Awesome staff!
As a guy, it was intimidating sweating waterfalls in a room full of ladies. Although the classes are filled primarily with ladies, I was informed that there are a few guys that attend.
The instructor makes you feel at ease. Any mistakes that I made were corrected by the instructor and if any of the members judged me, they didn't show it at all.
I've been telling all of my friends to check it out.

Friendly teachers--both Elaina and Tiana are so nice and encouraging, while still tough. The class allows access to ppl of different abilities and I really feel a difference in my body after taking the class. It is my happy place where work doesn't bother me and mom responsibilities are one hour away. :)

I am really loving this workout! The location is great for me getting to and from work or home. Parking is right in front and ample! The studio itself is serene, clean, and pretty! And I have to say although I can make coffee at work, it's so nice to have it offered after a class and having a nice cup on the drive back to wherever your next destination is!

I absolutely LOVE Bar Method. The work out hits every hard to reach problem area and incinerates it. I've experienced almost every workout available, but this one is something special. The space is also clean and lovely. All the employees remember everyone's name. It's amazing. You feel completely welcome when you walk through the door. The only complaint I have is that there aren't enough classes, but I'm sure that will change with increasing popularity.

1) Clear online explanations re: important info (dress code, cancellation policy, fees, etc). Refreshingly professional. 2. Outstanding customer service re: expectations of staff to learn clients' names, greet at door, etc. 3. Environment is clean, professional setting. 4. Instructors are clearly well trained and held to high industry and corporate standards. Super workout.. way better than bootcamps and Cross Fit that ruin your joints eventually (like mine)

I'm addicted to The Bar Method! I've finally found a form of exercise that I love, feels safe and that I am drawn to come back to four or five times a week. I urge you all to try it.
