From the reviews
Bar Method Hinsdale is Finally Here—and It's More Than Just a Workout! I was absolutely thrilled when I heard the Bar Method was opening in Hinsdale! Having loved this challenging workout for years (and truly missing it since COVID), I had high expectations—and this studio exceeded them.
Love having this amazing community-focused studio in our backyard! Kate and her team go above and beyond to make her clients feel at home and get an amazing workout too. The low-impact, high-burn workouts leave you feeling toned, relieve stress and also prevent injury.
The Bar Method is above and beyond any other barre based workouts, and I’ve tried them all! Kate and the Hinsdale instructors are all so welcoming and talented. I’m plagued by knee issues, for years The Bar Method has always been a safe, effective strength building exercises, that I can adjust to how I’m feeling.
I had surgery at the end of August and I was so apprehensive returning to working out. Bar method has been the perfect place to do so. All the instructors offer modifications, are so kind, and you still feel like you’re getting a workout.
Teacher training at The Bar Method Hinsdale
The Bar Method Hinsdale comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at The Bar Method Hinsdale
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel — there are showers on site if you need one after. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
