Wellesley

Courtney Sawicki, one of the original instructors of The Bar Method Wellesley studio when it opened in 2014, has always been a fitness enthusiast. She discovered TBM in San Francisco in 2008 and loved its focus on small, targeted movements, safety, and form. TBM was the most effective in transforming her body and toning her trouble areas. Courtney has been a French teacher for more than two decades. It was a natural transition for her to oversee the instructor training that has successfully resulted in more than 10 new teachers. Courtney grew up in Wellesley, where she and her husband Eric reside with their two sons.

Hailing from South Carolina by way of New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey, Neely Dodge began her love of The Bar Method in Summit, NJ. TBM was the exercise that she was cleared to participate in after baby #3 was born. In just 10 classes, her body had changed! Neely was overjoyed to join the Wellesley studio as a client in 2013. An instructor since 2015, Neely has handled the retail management for the studio since 2018, contributing to its’ success and growth. Equal parts warm Zen master and inner geek, she has a background in IT and corporate. She and her barre-practicing hubby Jeff are active parents of three children in Newton.

Rachel Stoff introduced aerobics classes to her college campus, is trained in American Ninjutsu, taught kickboxing, spinning and mat Pilates for a decade on the side of demanding careers in entertainment and animal welfare. As a client of The Bar Method Third Street LA, her meticulousness in spirit and routine was invigorated by the challenging practice demanding the same level of detail and focus. After 20 years in LA, she returned east, where she became a client, marketing consultant and instructor at The Bar Method Wellesley. (Bonus: reunited with childhood pal Courtney).
