I have been coming to The Bar Method in Bethesda and I am hooked! I get a great workout and have not injured anything which is not my norm. Working out at TBM is a great part of my week.

The instructors are wonderful and really care about the clients they teach. I even had the benefit of getting extra personalized modifications during my pregnancy. Love the low-impact and very intense workout!

I started going to Bar classes after my back surgeon told me I needed to strengthen my core or I will always have lower back problems. I have been diligently going to Bar Method classes for 8 months now. I have never been more stronger or flexible in my life. No more toothpick arms! The teachers are well trained and they make hands on adjustments so you do not hurt yourself. Bar classes have made a tremendous impact on my life. I am hooked!

I love Bar Method! The instructors take the time to push me while understanding my personal needs (and various injuries). One week of regular classes and I feel leaner and stronger. After a month my clothes fit better. I feel better and happier the more often I go - can't recommend it enough! :-)

I started taking classes at the Bar method in Bethesda 10 months ago. When I started I had no idea what I was getting into other than what was presented on the web site. I am an avid bicyclist but I haven't been involved in a regular fitness program for about the last 25 years. This was my first foray into organized classes for fitness. The Bar method classes absolutely provide a complete, total body workout. They are never easy. The class instructors have all been outstanding. They provide encouragement, tips on technique, and hands on adjustments to ensure proper form is maintained. After the first week I realized how much I had neglected most muscle groups in my body. I had never undergone rigorous thigh, seat or flexibility work. My flexibility and balance were woefully inadequate. As I was almost always the only male in the class, I almost stopped after 1 month. But since the instructors were so very encouraging and since I could feel and see improvement, I continued. I am glad I did. I am almost 65 yrs old and exercise is critical to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining strength, flexibility, and balance is very important. I attend classes regularly and even though I am probably the least flexible person in class, I have improved immensely. I learned early on that classes never get easy because you keep challenging your own abilities and stamina. The other students are very welcoming and supportive. I highly recommend The Bar Method to anyone looking for a total body workout that will will push them to better health and fitness.

I've taken 10 classes so far and love this studio! Everyone is as nice as can be. The studio is clean and well-run. The classes are fun and challenging and go by quickly. I get a great work out every time. I love carving out "me time" every week and feel happier and stronger for doing so.

I have been taking classes at Bar Method (DC) for about 18 months. First, you need to understand that I am not an exercise person, and I am CERTAINLY not a group exercise person. But several friends convinced me to give it a shot, and I was hooked! Since I started, I've taken classes at several barre "franchises" but always come back to Bar Method. The instructors in DC are fantastic - always supportive and encouraging, while still making sure you're safe and working your hardest. The owner of DC/Bethesda/North Potomac is always friendly and encouraging as well. The studio is always clean, supplied with the necessities for an after-class freshen-up, and just a great environment to be in!

I love being a bar star member at the bar method. The instructors are encouraging and friendly. I have tried many barre classes around the DC metro area and Bar Method remains my favorite work out.

Started Bar in June and have stuck with it for almost a year now. The instructors are excellent. They give feedback whatever your level and do so without being condescending. The variety of routines makes going to classes interesting,too.

I love the Bar Method! The teachers are all good at giving adjustments and words of encouragement through class. The studio is nice, clean, and conveniently located. The classes give you the option to modify or challenge yourself and I feel like I've gotten a great workout after each one!

The Bar Method North Potomac is the most complete and worthwhile workout. Each class involves virtually every muscle group and the results are remarkable after just one week of classes. The instructors are thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make every client succeed and feel confident.

No workout in 30 years of consistent workouts has yielded more results for me than the bar method. It defines your arms with small yet powerful moves and elongates your muscles. The studio itself in North Potomac is beautiful with marble, wood and an attractive design. The teachers are wonderful and each one brings her own unique skill set to your class. Highly recommend you try it!

I absolutely love The Bar Method-DC! I've been going there for 4 years now. It's very different from any exercise class that I have taken in the past. I am stronger and more fit than I've ever been. The classes are not easy but the rewards are well worth it!

I have to say this is my favorite exercise ever! It works out your whole body and at the same it is a fun workout. All the teachers are great and really take the time to make sure are doing the moves correctly. Finally found an excercise that I enjoy doing and that works all your muscles!

I have been going to the going to the Bethesda studio for 2 years now. Downtown, Bethesda and North Potomac are under same ownership. Bar Method's success in my mind is driven by the fact that it creates a virtuous loop - you pay top dollar for something (classes are not cheap!), therefore you attend more regularly, thereby seeing a positive effect which makes you want to commit to it longer. This works only when the place is well-run and the Bethesda studio certainly is. Kate runs a tight ship. I have never seen anything worn out, dirty or non-functioning. The place is inviting, instructors are well trained, schedules are maintained well and changes communicated effectively (primarily weather-related). They also do a good job of running the occasional programs to make you come in more often and earn this or that. People respond to incentives and while the prizes are small, the motivational quotient is big.

I have taken classes at the DC location for 4+ years now. The classes are easy to register for, the times are convenient, the studio is clean and the teachers are great. The classes are as challenging as you make them for yourself, although the teachers are great to challenge to you to achieve higher levels of strength and endurance. It's a great workout, you'll feel stronger and your muscles will be more defined (hello gorgeous sinewy arms!)!! I highly recommend.

One of the best workouts in DC; been going for years! Studio staff and instructors are kind and so much fun.

Love this place! Head and shoulders above all other studio excercise!

Not a well-run Bar Method location compared to those in SF. They overcrowded the classes, and the instructors weren't very helpful in mitigating the issue (by maybe adjusting girls who were taking up too much space, which exacerbated the crowding of the other 2/3s of the room). Really, they just need to cut the permitted attendance by like 5 people. Unfortunate because it's so close to my house :/ I'll have to try another DMV location, because I *love* Bar Method workouts.

Classes are challenging....but you see the results! Different teachers can be a bit short, but there are some nice ones! One downside is they only want you to have plastic AND clear water bottles, which limits options for reusable water bottles!

I am a client at Bar Method Seattle but visited Bar Method DC while on personal and work travel. The studio was clean, comfortable, and friendly. Liz, the instructor, was super welcoming and encouraging throughout a challenging class. I have been an avid Bar Methodist for almost 3 years and look forward to the next class each time.
