Truly running a business for myself and being my own boss really wasn’t something I expected in my life and now that I have it it’s hard to imagine my life any other way. – McKenzie Howarth | Boston MA
Run a proven business
Bar Method studio owners have the advantage of running their own business while using a model with a proven track record. Franchisees benefit from the halo of this trusted and long-standing brand and its large presence in the US and Canada.
The Bar Method business model offers multiple sources of income including single classes, recurring memberships, retail apparel and accessories. Many studio owners open successful second and third locations.
LUXURY STUDIOS
Method Studios Bar is warm, welcoming, and an oasis in the community.
Studios typically include an inviting reception area with retail displays, a lounge area where students and staff can meet before and after class, one or two spacious classrooms with special floors for exercises that are safe and effective, and lockers and Changing rooms, often filled with free towels and beauty products.
Some studios have showers and a separate play room for child care. Studio sizes range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet and are typically located in high-traffic areas in both cities and suburban neighborhoods.
Support from headquarters
We strive to continuously support our owners to ensure success from day one and beyond.
We guide you through the expansion process, including site selection, lease negotiation, construction, interior design, marketing and public relations. Owners and trainers are personally trained to develop and improve their teaching skills.
After the studio opens, we hold regular telephone conferences, distribute frequent class notes and offer additional coaching through on-site visits. All owners are invited to attend the annual Bar Method conference, where owners meet with the head office team to share, network, support and inspire one another.
Best-in-class training
Teacher training is one of our key differentiators in boutique fitness.
Our program includes initial training, retraining, ongoing evaluations and workshops to continuously improve teaching skills. It starts with three days of initial training in Woodbury, MN, followed by 3-6 months of follow-up training at your home with the assistance of an assigned trainer.
Studio owners mentor their own instructors and are instrumental in creating a close-knit family of dedicated Bar Method instructors across the country.
