Chicago
Tribune — February 14, 2008
Bar Method hurts so good. I
don't like trembling. Especially not
in public. But while I was
attending my first session of The
Bar Method exercise class recently,
we actually got praised when we'd
pushed ourselves so hard that our
limbs started to shake.

Since the opening of her first studio
in San Francisco in 2001, Burr Leonard
has been garnering exuberant praise
and accolades from her devoted practitioners.
Many even call her Bar Method workout
"addictive." Part of the reason is
that with the Bar Method, you get
noticeable results rather quickly.
The other part is that after an hour
of this intense and demanding workout,
you feel really good about yourself.
