Today was my first time at bar method. I took the workshop and then the class right after. Everyone is super nice and makes it personal because they all remember your name. I was really embarrassed because seriously in the reg class I really was struggling. But the spoters and teacher helping you learn the right positioning. But honestly I was sweating, my heard was racing and I was shaking. I was only embarrassed because I couldn't hold a lot of the poses. It was the most challenging work out I've ever encountered! But I did notice all the girls there were all looking good! After one class I want to go Back because I know this is really going to work. I am sore and my body is tired but hopefully after a few classes I will be up to par with everyone else. read more

I love this Bar Method studio! Tons of parking, which is a huge plus. The studio was the best out of all barre classes I've been to. Lots of lockers, showers, very roomy and stocked with everything you need - even hair ties! Erin was a great instructor, attentive to your form while being extremely encouraging! It's been 4 days and I'm still sore! read more

I've been a regular at Bar Method for over a year now and it's really the only workout that has worked for me. As you read all of these other reviews, you can see it's done the same for them as well! I can truly say that I am addicted to it, mainly because I can see the changes my body has made since I started in Jan 2010! Bar Method has changed my body - I am fit and toned in places I never thought I would be again. After turning 30, I knew I had to change something up to battle against aging... and here it is! Class consists of a warm up, shoulder and arm work, thigh work, "seat" work, more leg toning, then the last 15-20 min are dedicated to abs. Oh, and then one more calorie burning set in the form of back-dancing to work on your hammies and glutes. Then there is a nice stretching routine to cool you down and elongate the muscles you just worked. Class flies by, even during the torturous parts of thigh. The instructors are all GREAT (love you girls!) and are quick to help keep you in form, or even give positive reinforcement. Expect your muscles to feel very fatigued during the exercises and lots of shaking to occur. As all the instructors will remind you: This is where change happens! I never thought I'd pay as much as I do for a "gym", but Bar Method will keep me as a loyal customer for ... well I don't plan on stopping! It starts at $100/month, then increases to $125/month for next 6 months, then increases to $145/month for 6 months. I try to go at least 3x a week, if not more, to get my money's worth out of it. Allison (Pt Loma owner and instructor) and Jessica (one of the PL instructors) are opening a 2nd studio in Solana Beach. For all of you North County people interested - be sure to check that one out! I'd love to take advantage of their new client special ($100/45 days) but Solana Beach is a bit out of the way for me... read more

I hate working out- but I love Bar Method! This intense 1 hour workout will get your heart pumping and your muscles pounded into submission in no time. Seriously, sometimes my legs start shaking before I even enter the room- and my fellow bar methoders know where I am coming from! This is a fun workout! Class time flies by with the help of great workout music and a fast paced switching of exercises/ positions. The basics are the same in each class, but the instructor changes the specific exercises and targets different muscle groups to keep the class exciting. All the instructors are amazing and you have the option to select either the small or large studio. In the small studio you get more personal attention. I also appreciate that the instructors learned my name and then can call your name to encourage you, complement or correct your form, or tell you to push deeper. I leave class dripping with sweat and legs wobbly like jello- but I feel great.... and I my husband thinks I look great also. I see a noticeable difference in the muscle tone of my arms, butt, back, and legs and I am definitely getting stronger. Bar Method is amazing. I'm hooked. read more

I took a class here after taking some introductory classes at another place in Carmel Valley so that I could compare the two. The establishment was pretty, but the workout wasn't as intense as I was accustomed to at the other place. Personally, if I'm going to spend at least $100/month for exercise classes, I want my butt to be thoroughly kicked. My muscles were sore the next day, but I felt that the cardio portion of the class was lacking. Also, the instructor was super nice, but would call us by name out loud and tell us how to fix what were were doing wrong. I wasn't digging that. I don't know why they do that instead of coming to each person privately, but I'm guessing because the class was so big - another thing that rubbed me the wrong way. If you've never tried bar classes you should definitely give this place a try, I just feel like the other place is giving me more for my money. read more

I can not believe it has taken me so long to write a review on The Bar Method. About 2 1/2 years ago my best friend suggested trying a deal that The Bar Method was offering. I never liked taking classes with a group. I always felt super self conscious and I hated feeling critiqued through out my whole work out. We had Maureen for the first and second class we took. She is one tough cookie and will push your body to the limit. My body was sore in places I didn't even know existed. By my third class with Julie I was hooked. I love her teaching style, humor, and her drive to make you go lower and lower in thigh work. I have been a huge Bar Method supporter now for two and a half years. I can not stop raving about this studio. I have so much respect for the owner and instructor, Allison. She has created the most welcoming atmosphere. You really feel like your park of a family. Every single one of the teachers at this studio is unique, personable, and motivating. Thank you guys for the constant support and motivation. I will always be a fan. read more

I love you guys so much! The best work ever! I am now two weeks postpartum and I already fully recovered after giving birth to my second child. I worked out everyday and that is why I stayed in shape in my third trimester. I mostly took Bar Move classes because I had so much energy and it helped me to keep my weight gain on track. I gained 26 pounds and lost 20 by now. The labor and delivery was very easy as my entire pregnancy. Medical stuff were amazed how fast I recovered and 40 minutes later I was able to walk and take care of my perfectly healthy baby boy without an assistance. The only thing that saddens me I have to move from San Diego for two years to finish my degree. Unfortunately there is no The Bar Method classes in this city. I miss the workout, instructors and my "classmates". I am looking forward to come back and continue my Bar Move classes with amazing The Bar Method instructors. P.S. On the picture below I am one week postpartum. read more

My sister got me hooked on the Bar Method when I was home visiting Seattle at the end of May 2009. I have been compulsively attending classes usually 4-5 days a week and even after a great butt-kicking find myself wanting to go back the same day! The bottom line is that the Bar Method has been a miracle for me. I have dropped nearly 35 pounds and 3 dress sizes (yes, I have modified my diet, too), but more impressive is the incredible change in my body. I've always carried weight around my middle and for the first time since I was a teenager I have a waist! The tone and length in my legs, as well as my arms has also been amazing. All I can say to the wonderful ladies that torture me and push me almost daily at the San Diego studio is thank you. And see you tomorrow! :) read more

I took the 10:15 class this morning, first time doing a Bar class. It went really good! I was nervous because I haven't exactly worked out much since I had my now one year old. The teacher was awesome. She knew everyone's name- including my own and was so good at come around regularly to correct the people who needed it. I could tell almost every time I needed correction because I wouldn't really feel the burn and then she would have me make these tiny adjustments and I would instantly start feeling the fire. She was super motivating also. I will definitely be coming back! read more

It hurts so much but my butt is going to look so good! I did the 10$ for 10 day trial and it's tough... I definitely had no idea what I was doing, but the instructors are great and maybe it's in my head, but my gut already feels a little tighter. They make an effort to learn and call you out by name if you need help, which is really nice. Most of my classes have been with Julie, and she's been great. I had no idea my legs could shake so much. The studio is really nice, lots of parking, and classes are at perfect hours. They have another $100 intro deal, which I'll be back for! read more

Obsessed with this place. The work outs are fun, everyone who works there is the nicest and the over all energy is incredible!

I first heard of the Bar Method online from a Shape Magazine article. It was on brides getting fit for their wedding. Since my cousins getting married this fall, I figured it would be fun to check out due to the rave reviews. I have to just reiterate what everyone else is saying. It's the best workout! The staff is amazing and friendly. They go above and beyond making you feel welcome and comfortable. Extremely supportive and motivating. The studio is modern and beautiful. They make it really easy to schedule a class online through their website. The class lasts an hour, but you feel so accomplished at the end of it. You need nothing else but your workout clothes and socks. Everything else is available there at the studio. No equipment or mats needed, they're all there. Water, towels, and even socks if you forget them (I believe the water and socks are for purchase, but very reasonable). We had a great experience. Being a student, and already paying for a gym membership, I opted to take just one more class. Currently, the packages are a little steep for my limited income. But, trust me - I would join in a heartbeat if I could. I'm just glad my cousin loved it, and her and her best friend are doing the introductory package together. I highly recommend this class. Especially for those looking for something different or low impact from the usual kick boxing or step class. read more

Allison and staff are very professional and helpful in a generous and kind way, unlike most of San Diego joints that you know are superficially nice to you to get your business mostly. I think it's a testament to the owner. The team is as the leader does. Now I've been here at various points in my pregnancy, and I am quite sure this is one of the most pregnant friendly workouts out there other than prenatal yoga (which has a totally different effect). I also do pilates reformer (after a while can't lie on my back too long) and a circuit training class (def can modify but the jumping up and down part is most uncomfortable when you're bigger than 6 months) among other things. I think in general the Bar Method has done a great job of figuring out preg-tastic moves to help a mom feel great, stay strong, lift booty, and most importantly recover quickly. I've seen other very pregnant ladies in class with me both before and after pregnancy, and they look amazing. Now about the other not pregnant ladies. They are all strong and inspiring! All ages. Most bar method girls have epic booty, arms, and shapely thighs. I have to say my core has been stronger since this and pilates reformer. I can't wait to get a flat tummy again with all the transverse abdominal work. The thigh work is my nemesis. So tough!! The facility is quite spacious and bathrooms/shower room are clean and well stocked. I don't know about you but a great shower facility after a work out makes me feel so pampered, especially because I have to look good to go to work after. Added bonus. You will be hooked after you see what it does for your body. The teachers are challenging and encouraging in just the best combo. They'll call your name out so be forewarned if you're insecure about that, but form is everything! read more

My first class here, very friendly staff and the facilities were excellent and very clean. The instructor took the time to help me get adjusted to class and was very encouraging. The workout was very different from what I am used to, I left hurting in places that I didn't know had muscles. They even have great beginner deals! read more

Bar Method is the best workout for being strong and toned with great posture! I am a wedding photographer and my whole team goes to Bar Method to help keep our core and back strong all year long. I also had a baby last year and this was the best workout to do while I was pregnant. It kept me healthy and strong through my whole pregnancy! We have so many favorite instructors that I can not list them all. Also, once you really get going you can try the bar move classes! They are killer! read more

Had to update -- I am now a Lulu girl. It was only a matter of time! :) Bar is still rocking my world. Took a week off to visit family in the Midwest and almost cried in my first class back! (They were happy tears of delicious pain, though.) read more

I'm majorly in love with this place! No joke, this place is the best for a Bar class. I took Allison, Keegan and Lisa's class and these women were awesome! As a newcomer they treated me so great, had great alternative recommendations for exercises and they were so nice, up spirited and just so welcoming! I have tried Pure Barre in Bellevue, Washington and felt like I was "hanging out" with sorority girls (and the instructors were not so warm either) and you couldn't talk to anyone or look at anyone (how dare you look at me!!!!!!) and I hated that and I never went back!!!! Now I am in love with the classes at this location! I know people change per location, so I'll be trying more Bar Method classes near my home, but I was amazed how terrific the people and the workout was here! I burned EVERY day, I hurt like hell but I knew I was getting a great workout in and I loved it, I felt great after wards and I kept coming back for me!!!!! If you're in San Diego, go to this branch and try any class, the instructors are amazing, no 2 classes are alike, the instructors have a variety of ways to make you burn and I can't believe even during the toughest of the tough I was SMILING!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Bar Method Point Loma, you guys rock! read more

I love this Point Loma studio so much! I had never found a work out I could stick with before bar. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions after class. They adjust your form, so that you don't hurt yourself. The owner is always always around and super nice. The amenities are killer and the studio is very very clean, never stinks like a gym. I don't know if it's because I have taken the most classes with them or I play favorites, but Nicole and Cassie are my favorite instructors. At the same time I have yet to take a class with an instructor that wasn't great. read more

I wanted to write an update to my review as I am now in my second month of Bar Method! The new client special is an awesome way to get you hooked and was a great deal. I am still attending classes 3x a week. I absolutely hate the workout while I am doing it, but feel fantastic after!!! I love that you can constantly challenge yourself at each and every class. I can feel myself getting stronger and able to last longer and push myself harder, especially with the thigh work. I am currently at that pesky stage of my thighs ballooning. Absolutely hate wearing my jeans right now, but I have faith that it will go away! I love Erin, Allison and Jessica B's classes! They are great at motivating you to push yourself harder. For such big classes I feel that I get a personalized workout. Thanks Bar Method for a great studio, great instructors, and a great workout! read more

I love Bar Method. I highly recommend it! I have done this sort of workout for years at different locations, It really changes your body. I have seen dedicated women go from pear-shaped to Barbie figures! I recommend it to everyone! I can't get many of my friends to go. Most aren't into the pain. Some are afraid of the stairs after class, with good reason! It will be difficult to get down them after all the burn and shake. It tones up everything and it always feels challenging. The instructors are so kind and friendly and really know there stuff. I love when I'm in position and an instructor comes over to adjust me. The personal attention is necessary to ensure clients are in proper position and don't injure themselves. Other locations aren't as attentive. You can't beat it! read more

Wow, this is intense! I went to the Solana Beach location last night for the first time. The instructor was great...she knew everyone's name, and was encouraging, helpful, and nice. I haven't worked out in 6 months due to an injury, so this was my first introduction back to working out. I think it was little over my head. I would say that if you are a true beginner, this might be a bit too hard for you. I was able to force my way through most of the exercises, but it was painful. Today, I can barely walk. Literally. Having said that, I think once I'm a bit more in shape, this will be a great way to suppliment my workouts. I can see how this would give you long, toned muscles! I was definately sweating and my heart was pounding through much of the hour. The time flew, which I loved. I definately recommend this studio and this method, but perhaps for someone who's not a total beginner like me. :) read more

I absolutely LOVE the Bar Method in Point Loma! I wish I could provide 100 stars in this review, because the workout, the studio, and the amazing instructors who continue to inspire, encourage, and motivate me have literally changed my life! I can't believe it took me 47 years to discover this workout, but I'm so grateful I finally found it. I promise you have not experienced true muscle fatigue or failure until you've experienced Bar! I've been athletic my whole life, and yet I have never been physically challenged the way I am in Bar. Soccer, mountain biking, snowboarding, and bootcamp classes were not enough to get me conditioned for this workout. I was so humbled during my first class--my legs were shaking and quivering, and days later I felt soreness in muscles I didn't know existed! Even though I felt a bit defeated after my first class, Alison, the studio owner and my very first Bar instructor, was incredibly supportive and encouraging. She even sent me a hand-written note a few days later thanking me for attending her class, and congratulating me on completing my first workout. What a wonderful and personal touch! I soon came to realize I was being taught by top-notch, expert instructors, who also happen to be truly exceptional people. Although I have a competitive and determined spirit, the main reason I've continued to come back to class again and again is because of the instructors. Alison has recruited some of the most talented teachers, and they are all unique and special in their own right. It was a new experience for me to receive so much attention from my teachers and corrections on my form. I wasn't sure how I felt about this initially, but over time, I came to understand that the corrections on my form are absolutely essential--the teachers are there to keep you safe and free from injury, but also to ensure that you get the most you possibly can out of each movement. I have progressed so much with their help and guidance. They're very serious about giving you the best workout they possibly can, but they have also managed to create a warm, fun, and welcoming environment. You really feel like you're a part of their community. But please don't let their sweetness fool you! They each have the ability to murder your muscles without hesitation, so don't be surprised if you're dropping f-bombs under your breath. The studio is located in Liberty Station, and the space is lovely. The front desk/lobby area has cozy benches with cushions for seating, cubbies to store your belongings, and merchandise for purchase. There's a locker room beyond the lobby with showers, and if you forgot to pack any of your toiletries, chances are they have what you need. There are jars on the counters filled with razors, q-tips, hair ties, etc., plus hair dryers and other comforts to make you feel right at home. The workout rooms are beautiful, clean, and open, and they're each adorned with the warmth of natural light. If the challenging workout, phenomenal people, and beautiful studio aren't enough to convince you to check out Bar in Point Loma, then let me tell you about the results. Even though I've been athletic my whole life, I've still carried more adipose on my small frame than I was comfortable with. I used to kill myself in the gym doing 2+ hour workouts, but I was always so frustrated and disappointed by the lack of results those workouts produced. I had made peace with my body for the most part, and tried to accept the fact that I just didn't have the genetics to reach my body ideal. I committed to regular Bar classes with the goal of maintaining my health and fitness, and continuing to cultivate my physical and mental strength. I never expected to lose weight or change the shape of my body, but that's exactly what's happened. In the 9 months I've been attending Bar classes, I've lost 22 pounds and dropped 3 pants sizes. My arms and legs are the most defined and toned they've ever been, and yet the heaviest dumbbell I pick up is 4 pounds! The micro-movements in Bar are so unique, and they lengthen and sculpt muscles like no other workout. Family and friends are asking me what I'm doing, because they notice the changes in my body. I'm extremely thrilled by my weight loss, but I'm equally thrilled by my strength and flexibility gains--I can now do 60+ push-ups on my toes with good form, and I can perform the front splits! Before Bar, I wasn't able to pull off either of these fitness feats. This is the first time I have ever felt like the rewards I receive match the effort I put in. What an amazing feeling! I can say, without a doubt, that the Bar Method in Point Loma is helping me live my life to its fullest potential. For anyone out there who's still unsure or on the fence about Bar, I urge you to sign up for a series of classes at this studio. Once you're hooked, there's no turning back, and I promise this will be the best gift you've ever given yourself! read more

Well I'm coming to the end of my 1st month with Bar Method & am still going strong 3-4 times per week. I really can't say enough good things about this workout. I feel so much stronger & more flexible than I have in years & years. My legs are super toned (less cheese), arms & abs feel tighter too. Every class is different, every instructor rocks! I'll definitely be continuing with The Bar Method! read more

I've been looking for a place that feels like home and supports me in growth. Wherever you are in your fitness journey, The Bar Method works for you. I have loved this last month, and I'm going to keep going! read more

I absolutely LOVE Bar Method. After years of trying to figure out something that I enjoy and works me hard, I found BAR. I was surprised to read a review that said you don't sweat or work hard in Bar. My experience has been the complete oposite. I will say that the stronger I get, the harder Bar gets because my ability to do the exercises has increased and the modifications in the work out to increase intensity help accomodate all levels. So my advice would be to stick with it for at least a month. I also really like that each of the teachers know the names of everyone in the class and help correct form and encourage the students. It keeps me engaged in the class more than any other group fitness class I have ever done. The only complaint I do have is that the classes can get crowded and it can be hard to get a class last minute. But I usually schedule my classes at least a week ahead of time to make sure I get them. I think with the opening of the Solana Beach location, the crowding should get better. read more

I will be forever grateful to the bar method. It lifted my booty about an inch after two weeks of going consistently. I was already very active with yoga and strength training but the bar method has taken my body awareness to a new level. Every single instructor has been great, shout out to Allison and her husband, Mike- the stellar staff is a reflection of the great atmosphere they retain. I always try to make it to Allison and Erin's classes- something about the way that they teach resonates with me. Also, I frequently attend the Bar Method in West Hollywood and although the workout is excellent, I will be loyal to the Bar Method in San Diego because of their staff. read more

Can I just say how much I LOVE this Studio. Here's my digest version on how I found this place. In 2012 I was t-boned in an intersection, this car accident left me jacked-up with pain on my right side, especially my neck. I was unable to exercise (the way I was used to) for 4 yrs. When I was given the green-light to go back to my active lifestyle, I didn't want to go back to a traditional gym/boot camp. After much research I found The Bar Method in 2016. Allison has created a wonderful atmosphere at the Point Loma location, from the fun, sassy and super friendly instructors/staff to a fresh clean studio. For me The Bar Method is kind to my body, yet challenging. I could go on and on... let me just say this, if you have been thinking about trying The Bar Method you just need to get down here and try it. You won't be disappointed!! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this studio, the owner Allison, the bartenders who work there, and the wonderful community of strong supportive women (and men) who I take class with each week. I have gained strength and flexibility that I didn't know was possible. (I haven't been able to do the splits since high school!). All of the staff remembers your name and takes the time to get to know you. Coming to class is fun and challenging. Most days I can't believe how fast the hour flies by. This is the best workout and I'm so glad I found Bar Method Point Loma! read more

Great environment! Great exercise for a woman's body. Wonderful instructors!

This was my first visit & I must say I really enjoyed it. Provided a full body workout without all the sweat. I recommend this place for men & women of all ages; beginners, intermediate & advanced. If you're looking for an upscale studio workout studio with a ballet-yoga feel, you've found it here. read more

I do a lot of different classes and this was my first barre class and boy did I feel it - in a good way. Great, positive and motivational staff that ensures you are doing the exercise correctly to avoid injury. Wish there were more locations with this team. read more

This is my happy place! It has been my home away from home for 7 years now and my obsession is still very strong. If you're looking to try a new workout or curious what Barre has to offer, check out the Bar Method Point Loma. They have variety of classes that will challenge you. The instructors are warm, friendly and knowledgeable. But don't let their sweet faces fool you, they're tough and will challenge you to become a stronger you, physically and mentally. I'm so proud to be part of this community. read more

I've been taking Bar Method classes for three months and I'm addicted!! The instructors told me the exercises would increase my flexibility and help sculpt long lean muscles, and they were right!! Even though it's only been a short time, I can already see the changes to my body!! The studio is beautiful and the locker/changing room is fully stocked!! Definitely recommend taking a class. The results are worth the 'burn"!! read more

I couldn't be more obsessed Bar Method Point Loma! Been going there for about three years and I still get my rear kicked every time I go. Never a dull workout! The workouts are awesome and the instructors and barre-tenders are the absolute best! Highly recommend to everyone - no matter what level of fitness you're at or want to be at. read more

I love Bar Method Point Loma! The staff is wonderful, always super friendly and helpful. I'm glad I found this place :)!

I love this place! I have been a student at The Bar Method Point Loma for ten years (as of April 11, 2020)! We have the most knowledgeable, caring, and friendly instructors. The first time you walk through those doors to meet the staff and teachers, you will know you are welcome there and that you are important to them.The instructors are careful to provide both a safe and a challenging workout. The classes are excellent, and there are many levels of difficulty to choose from! It is my sanctuary and my happy place, and I want it to be for many years to come! Please give it a try! read more

I, in my entire 33 years of life, have never loved a workout so much. Although active, I've always struggled to keep things lean. I've been going to the Bar method for 8 weeks, about 3-4 days a week and the difference in my body is staggering. Clothes are loose, the waist is trimmed and I FINALLY have a little booty. My hubby says the biggest difference are my legs which are much leaner. I can't express the gratitude I feel towards the ladies who push me harder and harder every time I come here. This place has definitely shown me that I'm stronger than I think! read more

I've been attending The Bar Method Point Loma studio for three years now and I don't ever plan on stopping. Its the perfect supplement to my other high impact workouts. This studio is not just your run of the mill barre workout studio but feels more like a family/community. The instructors and clients really do bond here and support one another. The vibe here is like no other, its kinda hard to put it into words, you'll just have to try their $10 week trial and you'll understand what I'm trying to say. There is plenty of parking, and the studio is bright, airy, and clean. The workout: It is a low impact, but challenging workout. I would describe it as a full body, small isometric, muscle endurance, flexibility type of workout. You work just about every muscle in your body, and you focus on breathing as well. May sound easy enough right? IT ISN'T... even after three years of attending classes I still find it challenging. I've found that I can do the exercises longer, with better form, but it never gets "easy." I still get sore in certain muscles, but I still love this workout, for my mind and body. All of the instructors are sooooo nice! They constantly encourage you by name during the workout and even make hands on correction as needed. There are plenty of modifications for each exercise depending on where your body is physically, and the instructors are there to help. You will never be lost during one of these classes. The hour flies by and you'll be ready to sign up for the next class. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this studio and staff, they're just a gem of a studio! Keep up the great work Bar Method Point Loma! read more

Fantastic Experience. This class is one that I feel I can safely do without any injury. Its a total body workout and stretch. Love the teachers. Good Vibe all around. read more

This is my FIRST Yelp review (I've been meaning to start writing them for awhile now because I Yelp-stalk every business I'm even thinking about spending money in these days) -- and I think it's appropriate that it goes to my latest obsession -- The Bar Method San Diego. Two girlfriends from work and I started on the 10 days for $10 deal in mid-March, and the convenient location and class times, not to mention the AMAZING workout, got us hooked. I bought the $100 month unlimited and have already gone 10 times in the month of April. The studio is stylish, clean, and roomy. I think their online class reservation system is extremely easy to use and fair, and I've gotten into every "wait list" class I've registered for. With about 15 classes under my belt, I can comfortably say: 1) Yes, I've seen improvement. I've gained some strength, flexibility, and endurance in less than a month. I did 10 regular push-ups at my 6 am class yesterday. I couldn't do any 3 weeks ago. 2) The instructors (and staff, in general) are awesome. I've always felt welcome and appreciated as a client. The instructors are VERY helpful and encouraging -- yes, they will call out your name during class or come adjust your form, but to me it's as if I'm getting a personal training session each class. 3) I'm not great at some of the exercises - as a runner, I'm pretty darn inflexible and there are some extremely challenging portions of class. And yes, they BURN. But the muscle definition and toning that I'm already seeing is definitely working. 4) The $125 a month unlimited class package is a fantastic deal if you got 3-5 times a week like me. The ONLY beef I have with The Bar Method is that there isn't much cardio involved so I still feel like I need to jog a couple times a week to keep my ticker happy. With a trip to Hawaii AND a bridesmaids dress to rock in the next 10 weeks, I am fairly confident that I will continue to show my face The Bar Method San Diego. read more
