The Bar Method Darien, part of a national franchise of exercise studios for women, is renovating the former site of Patriot National Bank downtown after receiving approval from town land use officials. At 800 Post Road, right on the corner of Sedgwick Avenue and next door to Burgers, Shakes & Fries, the local owners plan to have hour-long exercise classes from early morning to early evening. They’ll have yoga and exercise clothing and equipment for sale, complimentary coffee, tea, magazines and newspapers in the waiting room for those who arrive early or want to chat with friends after the workout. The Bar Method will also have an “upscale” locker room with a few showers and a hair and make-up counter with “complimentary skin-care and hair-care products,” according to their land-use application filed in Town Hall. “The Bar Method is known for having these luxurious, very spa-like locker rooms,” Lara Meehan, a co-owner of the Darien franchise, told the Planning & Zoning Commission in January.
