I’ve been going to this studio for a few years now, it’s part of “my routine” and being able to take classes via zoom during the pandemic has been a great way to stay strong and great for my mentally health. I can’t wait to be able to take classes in Studio again!

The Bar Method is the most convivial, challenging exercise class I've ever taken. The instructors are all experts in the method, and they pay special attention to each individual's form, which makes the class almost feel as if you are with a personal trainer. There is nothing like it for the body and the spirit.

I love the Bar Method. The classes are great, the instructors are awesome - so much constructive criticism, offered with kindness and humor. The community is marvelous as well - I have made so many friends, and I feel everyone just wants the best for everyone else. A truly supportive environment. And the physical benefits have been tremendous for me!

Wanted to include a review of Berkeley Bar Method deep into the COVID pandemic. This studio has been a life saver for me in balancing connection with fitness and strength. While not in the studio now, they offer remote classes (live with access to recordings for 1 wk) as well as the occasional outdoor class. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. They’ve adapted so well to the online format—join us and give it a try!!!!

I love The Bar Method! As a runner, taking Bar Method classes has been an important part of my training regime keeping me injury free for over 5 years! The instructors at this beautiful studio are extremely knowledgeable, caring and give personalized attention to everyone in class. The vibe is welcoming, friendly and I really appreciate how there are people of all body shapes and sizes welcomed and made to feel accomplished for being there and doing the work!

I'm so glad I "found" the Bar Method!! I started my barre exercise journey at a different brand of class in downtown Berkeley. Bar Method is, honestly, just better in every way. The community is diverse in age and ability. The instructors are awesome with modifications especially for women who are pregnant or have had breast cancer. The space is so clean, bright and airy. The kids who are getting care while mom is taking care of herself seem truly happy to be there. And, most importantly, the movements feel so safe and strengthening. Instructors are extremely well trained to keep everyone's joints and muscles safe. My favorite classe "Bar Restore" with Erin-- 30 min exercise, 30 min stretching. Awesome.I love this community and can't wait to get back in the studio! In the meantime, the live stream classes are working well.
