The Bar Method Berkeley

I've been going to The Bar Method on Rose St in Berkeley for almost two years. I have developed strength (especially abs and legs), balance and good posture. The classes are challenging yet fun, thanks to the amazing instructors. I really recommend the Bar Method for people of any age.

So happy I found The Bar Method in Berkeley! The staff are wonderful, the facilities are clean and the classes are fun, well-balanced workouts that strengthen the entire body. I always look forward to going to class which I have never experienced with any other fitness program before!

Bar Method is exactly what my body has been needing as of late. Coming off a grueling marathon training schedule has left my muscles and joints completely taxed out and depleted. I was looking for something calmer and more "zen" but that was more of a workout than yoga. Bar Method fit that criteria perfectly! I love each and every instructor. They are very aware of body mechanics and make great adjustments, while teaching with a huge smile on their faces. Also, these classes yield huge improvements in both muscle tone and flexibility in just a couple weeks. Big bonus!

The Bar Method in Berkeley has provided an exercise method and routine I was desperately seeking. Results can be felt - and seen - rather quickly. I absolutely love exercising here and am so grateful to have found an exercise routine I have been able to stick with for almost 4 years without getting tired of it. The instructors are amazing and always strive to introduce new and innovative products to help us achieve our better selves and I appreciate that. Thank you, Helen and The Bar Method in Berkeley!

I've never been an exerciser but finally decided that needed to change if I wanted to be able to move with ease in my 50s, 60s, and beyond. I was interested in finding classes with a focus on strength and flexibility and looked at Yoga and Pilates options. My local studios didn't have a good match for my schedule and I was really impressed with the schedule of classes offered by Bar Method Berkeley and so I decided to check it out!I've been doing three classes per week so far and really enjoying it! I've noticed I'm improving my flexibility and strength already (after about three weeks). I also really like that each class has a similar format even though 20 to 30% of the exercises are switched up from time to time. It's quick paced and so I'm getting an added bonus of cardio on top of the strength and flexibility work.

If you are looking for a strength training workout that include supportive teachers, friendly staff, a clean environment, and child care, this is the place for you! It's a very challenging workout. Teachers are good at corrections to assure good form and prevent injury. I would absolutely encourage you to try one month and see how addictive it can be. The Berkeley Bar Method staff and owner make the experience wonderful!

The best full body workout I've ever had. I was first introduced to The Bar Method by my wife who was inspired to strengthen her body to after having trouble moving and carrying our baby girl. In just a few months she is now reaching the best shape of her life and has inspired me to do the same.Before going to my first class, I'll admit I was both apprehensive and skeptical as I was under the false impression that The Bar Method was just for women. After my first class I was sore (the good like) in muscle groups I didn't even know existed. I have since done a half-dozen workouts and it keeps getting better. One of the best parts is the the staff and instructors! They are all friendly, personable and motivating. I look forward to many more workouts!Another bonus... they have childcare!!!I would highly recommend The Bar Method to all genders :)******6 month update***********The Bar Method has been one of the best additions to our family routine. Our daughter love the Kids Room, and I have more overall energy for life as a busy parent. Thanks Bar Method, we're hooked :)*************************************

Everything about the Bar Method in Berkeley is first class. From the friendly and thoughtful reception to the clean and comfortable space and facilities, and especially the way the instructors run the classes, makes for a genuinely enjoyable experience. I'm constantly amazed by the instructors' ability to address everyone by name and attend to their individual needs while at the same time maintaining the flow of the session for everyone.The Bar Method is new to me. As a former serious triathlete and runner I could have benefited greatly from incorporating this strength and flexibility regimen into my training.It isn't cheap, but I'm spending more in two weeks on a chiropractor and it's not strengthening my core ; )

Beautiful studio space with super friendly staff. The instructors are great and always push me to my limit during the class.

I fell in love with barre from the very first time I attended my first class I in this studio in Berkeley. The staff are simply GREAT - super nice, very friendly, very knowledgeable and very passionate about what they do. I love that they have a very efficient and organized system in place so all you have to do is show up. Their child care service is a hugs plus for a mom like me as I can tag along my little girl. This is definitely one of my favorite place in Berkeley.
