About the studio

The Bar Method Chicago - Gold Coast is a boutique fitness studio offering barre classes for students of all levels. The signature method uses your own body weight, the ballet barre and a few props to create a transformative workout that results in long, lean sculpted muscles. Not only does it reshape your entire body, but it allows you to channel your inner strength and leave class feeling strong, confident and poised. Highly-trained instructors customize the exercises to ensure they are safe and effective for any age and every body, including modifications for pregnant women and students with injuries. Our staff and community are here to support you from the moment you walk through the door.

The Bar Method Gold Coast is a warm, welcoming barre fitness community that caters to people of all fitness levels, ages and abilities - no experience necessary. We offer a variety of barre classes every day led by our expert instructors. This truly sets us apart from other boutique fitness studios in the Gold Coast community. Find us on Floor 2 of the 1 E. Delaware building on State and Delaware.

About the owner

Emily discovered Bar Method while still working in the corporate world. After trying several barre studios in Chicago, a co-worker recommended trying The Bar Method and she instantly found her community. She became so inspired by the technique, focus on form and the physical and mental clarity she gained that she decided to become a Bar Method instructor.

Each student comes to class with different goals and intentions. Many attend class for the physical and mental benefits that build confidence. Others come for the social outlet and warm community. Whatever your reasons are, Emily and her team are here to guide you through your journey.

Our Policies

Reservations are required. Book your class online or The Bar Method app in order to hold your spot in class. Class sizes are limited to 18 students or less until further notice. You can hold a spot up to 15 minutes prior in the app or you can call the studio.
Clients must accept the online waiver in the Bar Method app or by logging in to the Bar Method Gold Coast website before arriving to the studio.
Classes fill up, but spaces will open up as clients reschedule. If you’d like to attend a class that is full, please put yourself on the waitlist. As soon as a spot opens up in class, you will receive either an email or text notification. If you move into the class off the waitlist, you are in the class and all late cancel/no show policies apply. If you can no longer attend the class, remove yourself from the waitlist. If you are already registered for a class, you will not move off the waitlist into another class.
When you arrive at the studio, please check-in at the front desk. Reservations will be honored only up to the start of class.

If you cannot attend class, cancel your class online, on The Bar Method app, or call the studio. Classes before 8am must be cancelled 9 hours in advance. All other class times must be cancelled 2 hours in advance.
If you are using a class package, a no-show or cancellation after the above cutoff window results in a loss of that class. If you are using a membership package, you will be charged $10 for a late cancel and $20 for a no show.
