The Posture Bar

I cannot say enough great things about Mary and her reformer and reformer/​barre/​mat combo classes. Mary is such a knowledgeable and insightful instructor. Not only does she cue exercises that make even newbies at the reformer feel comfortable, she can tell just exactly how you need to alter movements based on your body type– giving you the best possible workout. Mary’s experience is second to none. And the studio is so cute and cozy! Because the classes are no more than 6 people, you receive a lot of personal attention. It’s almost like taking a personal one-​on-​one reformer class!

Posture Bar and Mary are an awesome opportunity to exercise your body while improving your posture and overall body image. I have been going to the studio for four years. I love how Mary can cue and assist beginners and advanced reformer users in one class. The classes are easy and hard, fun and challenging, it is up to you. Mary will encourage you to move past your plateaus to achieve more at each class.

I can’t thank Mary enough for the wonderful class recently. Her knowledge and expertise during the session was the best. I thought Yoga was hard but after working out on the Pilates Reformer I realized that this is the new gold standard. Thank you guys!

After trying my first Barre class in Portland OR and loving it, I began my search for one in Ct and it literally seemed to not exist on the East. However, I found a class via Groupon and gave it a try. I enjoyed the class, even though it was way more cardio and non barre than the Portland venue. I bought a 10 pack of classes with every intention of going every Saturday and during the weeknights. Well the classes during the weeknights start at 630p which is great if you live close but coming from Hartford during rush hour, it’s just not something you want to do. Also the classes fill up quickly so if you have a hectic schedule and have to wait until the week of to decide. you wont get in. Saturdays were better but it’s such a small studio. Anymore than 6 plus the instructor is crowded. I managed to use 4 out of my 10 in 3 months (you have 3 months to use it) and had to forfeit 6 of my classes. I would have been better off with $ 15 a class. Instead I paid $ 150 to take 4 classes. :(Oh well.

Mary Wang led an amazing class last night — high energy, small group, personalized attention. I did a VBarre level 2 bootcamp — and yes, it was hard. My glutes are burning today! I’ll definitely be back. A really nice boutique experience and a valued asset to this area.
