The Bar Method:
 January
9, 2008
By Marianne Garvey
Where: The Bar Method Studio,
32 Rye Ridge Plaza, Rye Brook, NY (Manhattan location
opening with the month); (914) 207-7798, barmethod.com
What: The second that Burr Leonard
told me this class was going to get my rear end
in shape, I was hooked. After all, she did teach
Drew Barrymore and rapper Eve, who both boast
muscular bikini bods from doing this workout.
I took the Saturday morning class at Jane Culliford’s
recently opened Bar Method studio in Westchester
County. What looked simple at first soon had me
stretching and sweating like a maniac –
and it was fun.
Leonard smooth-talked us through nine body-sculpting
exercises using light weights to work the upper
body, and intense leg moves using a ballet bar
and mats, making us squeeze our butts the whole
time.
The workout is aimed at working the abs and creating
a more vertical posture. “If you stick to
it, you’ll see the results in three months,”
says Leonard. Great tuchus, here I come.
Price: $25
