Don't equate the sight of a ballet bar with painful memories of pointe shoes and unflattering leotards. Classes at this South Loop fitness studio—co-owners Catherine Wendel and Lisabeth Settimi have outposts of the national franchise in Lakeview and Highland Park—use the ballet bar for exercises focusing on the nine largest muscles in the body. Purchase single classes (the first one is free if you go to chicagobarmethod.com) or a $100 30-day unlimited new-client package to give it a whirl.
