A BARRE WORKOUT UNLIKE ANY OTHER

Image

Redefining strength since 2001


For two decades, The Bar Method has been building stronger bodies with challenging barre workouts that infuse power into every movement. Each exercise is meticulously designed to transform your body through high-repetition, low-impact resistance training. With elements of Pilates, yoga and other strength training workouts fused into a ballet-inspired barre workout, you will experience unthinkable flexibility, total-body definition, and metabolism-boosting endurance that lasts long after class.

Barre classes that are designed and proven to kick your ass and tone it, too.


This is not just another barre workout—we barre differently and that's a good thing. The interval format of each class is designed to elevate your heart rate while building cardiovascular and muscle endurance. While each barre class is unique, you can always count on a personal training experience within a high-energy group fitness environment. Your body, your barre workout. No two classes are alike at The Bar Method, and it's in that unpredictable variety where transformation happens. Class formats vary in duration, design and experience so be sure to check out your studio's class offerings.

OUR CLASS FORMATS

Barre exercises that work as hard as you do.


At The Bar Method, we work smarter and harder. Every barre exercise applies a scientific approach to maximize muscle burn and minimize joint impact. The movements will keep you "working in the muscle," using minimal range of motion that relies on control rather than momentum. We don't do easy at The Bar Method, and just when you think you can't possibly go an inch lower, you get to stretch and lengthen the muscles just worked—this is the same technique used by dancers to elongate their legs.

Results that feel as good as they look.


The benefits of a barre workout are inevitable, but the benefits of a Bar Method workout are endless. In fact, it's not uncommon for Bar Method students to see remarkable results within just a few weeks of consistently taking classes. Everyone will notice the physical results, but it's the magnetic energy that will keep you coming back.
