This gets them long and lean, those muscles. It’s called the Bar Method.

(Bar Method teacher during class) “Now hold it. Make it shake. Straight spine! Everyone, nice straight spine.”

“It’s a strengthen and stretching system which creates highly defined muscles, gets you to work very deep in the muscle, creates great strength. And then once we heat the muscle we stretch it immediately thereafter.” (Mimi Fleischman, co-owner, the Bar Method)

“It’s difficult. It’s challenging. You have to program your mind.” (Bar Method student)

“Make it shake. Yes! Let’s see those shakes.” (teacher)

“When you’re shaking, you’re really at your edge. You’re burning intra-muscular fat. You’re deep into it.” (Mimi Fleischman)

“I’ve seen a lot of difference in the overall tone of my legs and typical problem areas.” (Julie Spenser, Bar Method student)

“I like that it combines the dance and the stretch and the posture, makes you stand really tall.” (Bar Method student)

“Absolutely people get taller. One of the things that’s happening is that people’s posture changes. We really stretch the spine in this class.” (Mimi Fleischman)

“Oh, it feels great. It feels great afterwards. I want to get up and dance afterwards!” (Bar Method student)
