I've been coming to The Bar Method Point Loma for over 15 years and I still get a great, full-body workout every time. Denae and the team truly care about their client's well-being. The studio is clean, has a great energy to it, and is always welcoming. I can't say enough good things, I love my barre family! read more

Too much fun and addictive! I've made so many friends and have so much more energy. Plus it's an attitude adjustment every day read more

Super friendly instructor, great workout. The studio is easy to find and very clean. Lots of parking

I cannot say enough great things about Danae and her studio! All the teachers bring their own unique flair to each class, so it never gets boring. What an amazing community. I am 41 and started in September 2022. I have never felt better or happier with my body and what it is capable of. The people have been coming here for years and are very loyal to the studio/workout, for good reason! It works and the community is so welcoming. read more

It has been a while since I have taken group excercise classes. I have been attending since September and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. My goal was to get stronger, more toned, and more flexible and that is exactly what has happened in the past 7 months. Just love it! read more

I'm officially hooked! The Bar Method is different than any other barre class I've taken. While it has many of the same elements, there's something about the structure that is unique and awesome! This studio is located up the stairs on the second floor of the building. There are two studios: a small studio and a larger studio. Class sizes can go up to about 28 but even with this many people, the instructors give so much personalized attention to each and every student. You start with arms at the center of the room, then move to the bar for legs then to a mat for abs. While some of the poses and exercises vary, the format of the class stays the same and is part of the "bar method". Everyone who works here is super friendly and nice. I loved taking Rachel's class. She gives so much great attention to her students. Instructors call out students by name in an incredibly supportive way to help ensure good posture and alignment. They also offer hands on adjustments. The studio itself is really nice. They have a big locker room with nice amenities. They also have fun specials like a Galentines Day Bar express class and bring your squeeze class in honor of Valentines Day! read more

They have a new teacher on staff here that is nationally certified. That's right. It's Cassie! As a dedicated member of her fan club, I had to make sure to go take a class in her new location. Let's chat about the studio first. Well, having been in the area a good number of times, it took a group of us to find the studio. I didn't realize it's actually upstairs. I'm certain there are elevators, we took the stairs. Walking inside the studio, your eyes struggle with the temptation of shopping or simply relaxing. Why not do both? The locker room is large and well stocked with almost anything you need to get dressed. If you happen to need to use the restroom, that is located right outside the doors. They also have a child care area for your littles while you work out. That's a plus! Let's get into the class in the large studio. Yes, they have two here. Class starts and as usual, we struggle, moan, groan and shake. Cassie pushes you to your limit, while feeding your mind and spirit with additional knowledge and loving care. In the end, we are thrilled we completed Cassie's class as we quietly attempt to hold our form to walk to the front. Honestly, I could just lay down. We all could. This delightful place is only missing a cot for that. All I can say is that you get what you pay for... our butts were kicked and we appreciate that. I really recommend you go shake it up at the Bar Method in Pt. Loma. read more

The Bar Method - Cassie taught an amazing class! - Barre Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

I am a lifelong exerciser and Bar Method is, by far, the most effective exercise for building strength, flexibility and balance. You need to give it time to get your form right, but once you do you will notice that your body is different and much better - toned, sculpted and strong. Great community of primarily women who have a passion for fitness just like me. I love it! read more

The most effective full body work out in a nice studio, awesome teachers and vibe. I have been going to Bar got more than a decade and I would recommend it to everyone! Rebeca read more

The Bar Method, is a proven series of exercises offered in independently owned studios nationwide. I've been taking their classes for about 4 1/2 years now, and it' has become as routine for me as taking vitamins . That's because it has paid off. My body is stronger, more flexible, and resilient. It has buoyed my confidence and sense of body image. When my go-to studio, Bar Method Point Loma, had to temporarily close its doors in response to the novel corona virus pandemic, management didn't leave us hanging for long. They were quick to connect to Zoom and begin offering several livestream classes each day. Only a few props are needed, including light weights (some students use 750ml wine bottles), throw pillows, and a strap for final stretches. Since one of the things that makes The Bar Method so effective is its well-trained instructors who watch your every move, I highly recommend permitting the video camera. That way your teacher can offer you suggestions on how to tweak what you're doing to avoid injury and maximize results. If something comes up and you can't take a live class you sighed up for, no worries. They always email a link after the class which you can use later. I highly recommend The Bar Method as a practice, and Bar Method Point Loma as a studio. In this new world, they're making all the difference for me. read more

Wether it's your first class or you're a 5 year veteran, the staff treats everyone like family. The welcoming attitude is infectious and continues throughout the class attendees too. I have had such a great experience and suggest anyone & everyone to check out the studio, you won't be disappointed. Nothing but great vibes, killer workouts and awesome people. Really the perfect formula to stay motivated and get in shape. read more

The absolute best exercise you can do . Extremely addicting be careful all ages seen at these classes . Teens, young ladies , middle age & older all love the bar method . Also known to make a man cry . Try it just once and you be hooked . read more

Oh, Bar Method... first let me say that I love you like a prisoner loves early release! Bar Method is one of the best kept secrets/underrated fitness places in town! I got hooked on it since class #1! To be frank, I wasn't that sure about it the minute I walked into my first class. one might think "up an inch, down an inch, tuck, squeeze and hold!" sounds more like How To Find The G-Spot ... but of course, I avoided making any judgements whatsoever 'til I finish the class. It was so intense! More intense than many of the Bootcamp classes that I regularly take (sans the super sweaty part, mind you!) I was utterly amazed and IMPRESSED by the transformation I (and others, mind you!) noticed on my whole physique in less than 14 days of taking 6-5 classes a week! (Caution: don't do as I did if you're a beginner! The Owner and all the marvelous instructors and staff of Bar Method are super friendly, helpful, and professional. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable while being there, given the fact that I'm probably the only male who is a regular at there. Ladies and gentlemen, get out of your comfort zone and try something you shall NEVER regret! read more

The Bar Method - HOT DAMN!! - Barre Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

Went here for 3 months. Everyone who works here is super friendly. They've created a kind and warm environment so the people who go there to exercise are also warm and kind. The workout is great. They have lockers and clean bathrooms. The carpet you end up rolling around in is surprisingly clean every single time. I just wonder how they keep all the mats, barbells, balls, and straps clean since people don't clean it after use. Nothing ever smelled funny so they must have a good way of keeping it clean. The membership was too much for me in the end and I wasn't motivated to go so I stopped going. Fun workout though. read more

I started attending The Bar Method about a month ago when a friend recommended it. I am a runner and have run multiple half-marathons and one full marathon. I train 6 days a week, but, after my first class, I could barely walk. While I have always had strong legs, bar targets every muscle and fine times them. At my very first class, I felt so out of my league, but my instructor, Aspen, helped me through each exercise with lots of encouragement! The class sizes are small so there is plenty of individualized attention and each instructor is encouraging and motivating! Trust me, you will need it! My legs were shaking so much during my first class, I thought I was going to collapse, but in a good way! I have been to 15 classes now and I can honestly say I have never felt stronger! The Bar Method has not only toned up my legs, arms and abs, but my running has improved tremendously! I have never been a fan of exercise classes, but The Bar Method in Point Loma is so unique and friendly, I will be attending for a long time. They offer the Bar Express classes which is only 45 minutes and is the perfect pre-work exercise session! If you are looking to try something new and tone up quickly, The Bar Method is for you!! Your first class is free so you have nothing to lose! read more

Doesn't get much better than this! I have lived in three different cities and joined The Bar Method in each. This is definitely the best! All the instructors are very friendly and there are very good vibes in the studio. Classes are a full-body work-out. There are intense short intervals of muscle building and fat burning to help you get fit, and plenty of stretching for a lean elongated figure. Highly recommend this studio for anyone in the area, they have great deals for new clients. Nothing to lose but some jiggle! read more

This is the best workout. I have been coming for almost 10 years and I haven't looked back. The teachers are friendly, encouraging, but tough. You know you'll walk out of class having worked hard. One thing I have loved about bar is being able to continue to do the workout throughout my pregnancies. I'm on my 3rd pregnancy but never felt stronger. I credit bar to being able to bounce back quickly postpartum. Not only are the instructors great but the students help to create the atmosphere. I have met the best people and lifelong friends. read more

This place is AMAZING --- I have fallen in love with the full body workout of Bar Method but what really makes this place is the culture created by the instructors. They have built a welcoming community that encourages you, helps you feel safe, and challenges you to believe you are stronger than you originally thought. LOVE THIS PLACE - I'd give it ten stars if I could. read more

So far so good! I have been 4 times in the last 7 days. I can't remember the last time I was so committed to something that involves exercise. The newbie special of $100 unlimited classes for 5 weeks (if you sign up in person after your first $10 trial class) will do that to me. The spa like facilities are wonderful, too bad the bathroom is outside of the studio area. I've had 3 different instructors and I like them all, maybe one more than the others, just a little, but that's just personal preference, you'll find your favorite too, I'm sure! It's weird how nice everyone is... Maybe because they know how uncomfortable you are about to get for the next hour, but I really appreciate it. I like that the instructors give each person praise and criticism to make sure you're getting the most out of your work out! It's hard to say I 'love' this, because I hate exercising... But I already feel stronger and better... And let's be real, I feel guilt free when it comes to eating and drinking now. They dangle that 'just think how many calories you're going to burn the rest of the day!' line to us midway through the workout. But it's true! I feel energized! Other nice perks- I like that parking is such a breeze and I like how the location is close to markets and stone brewery...I also like that there is an online calendar to schedule classes in advance. I'm eyeing the teacher discount to sustain this lifestyle. They supply us with hair bands and bobby pins and other little amenities that you may have forgotten at home. And there is a $10 refer a friend program, which I will use to buy fun grippy colorful bar method socks. Because when I look around all the 'cool' kids have them! And I want to be cool too! read more

Writing another update :) So I had the issue of getting HUGE around my butt and thighs about 2 months into classes. Seriously, my pants were tight all of the sudden and I could barely get into them. But over the past few weeks doing nothing special (I go 3-4 times a week and do not diet at all), it's like all of it has just deflated. They warn you about this on the website. I think they even had a sign on the front desk about it. As someone who is pear-shaped, the last thing I wanted was to add more heft to my bottom! But it went away, and it was very temporary (maybe 4-6 weeks of badonk). I have struggled with sticking with a fitness plan my entire life. I have struggled with my weight, have suffered through eating disorders, and have never been very happy with who I saw in the mirror. The Bar Method has made me so happy with my body, truly for the first time. (And this is after I had a kid!) I still have more progress to make, but for the short time I have been going to classes, I cannot believe the difference in my body. Everything that used to wiggle and jiggle feels hard and tight. I just hope they open more locations. I am lucky to live nearby (10 minute drive) but I work in north county and have been thinking of moving. The Bar Method is keeping me down here for now. Seriously! Stick with this for 3-4 months, 3 or more times a week and your body WILL change, dramatically. read more

I hesitated to share for fear that too many people would start going. I have been going to the classes three times a week since the end of January. I'm definitely "addicted" and in the best shape of my life. My body type is naturally on the thin side, so I passed 30 without having much of a workout routine beyond occasional yoga and dance. But with my wedding approaching, I wanted to tone my arms and improve my posture. I originally heard of the bar method DVDs and ordered them. They are fine, but I knew I didn't have the alignment just right. After using the DVD once my back hurt in a way I didn't think was right. So, I figured I should take advantage of the studio in San Diego and tried out a class. I was kind of scared at first, so I took their free workshop which coaches you on the alignment. The crazy thing is that it takes just a few classes to get how to do the exercises but you will ALWAYS be trying to perfect them. So, the more you go, the harder it gets. The class is very challenging, literally shaking and exhausting your muscles, but it is actually low to no impact. Many of the exercises are like physical therapy. I used to hace chronic knee problems, but the strengthening has cleared it up. Don't be too scared of the shaking, i took my mom and she survived. Another nice part of the Bar Method is that there are different locations. On a trip to New Jersey I went to a studio there and squeezed a work out in. (Athough I didn't like the teacher there as much as the SD teachers and the first class there cost $24.) I definitely met my goal of more toned arms and straighter posture by my May wedding. (Although my arms are even slimmer now.) But I'm still going! My husband laughed at me, we were both home jet lagged for three days after our honeymoon, but I went out our first day back to take a Bar class! My results include the arms, posture, tighter lifted butt, strong slim thighs and core strength. Basically the things every woman wants. I've been heavy into yoga before but these results are above and beyond. My advice is to sign up for the $100 unlimited new client special. It makes you want to go as much as possible. And because I sign up online for each class to reserve a spot, it makes me less likely to flake. :) read more

Careful what you wish for! I wanted a new, challenging work out to kickstart my workout routine in 2009, so I went here on the last day of 2008. I took advantage of their generous ($100/first month) starter offer and walked in to class. Their studio is beautiful. As in, the guy at the front desk suggested I use my free time to go look at the bathroom. Normally this is not a common use of one's free time, nor is it considered a recreational activity, but the bathroom here is THAT pretty. The decor is tres zen, and everything is brand new. I had read that the class would fly by, but really, when does an exercise class ever fly by? Well, this one did. Allison (owner and sometime-teacher) started up and next thing I knew, an hour was gone. Although I work out very often, my legs were shaking like you wouldn't believe after 2 minutes. To the point that I started laughing out loud! But there was the challenge I had asked for! I had wanted to find a boot camp class, and now I don't have to look any further! The only thing to keep in mind is that class size is limited, so plan ahead and call or sign up online for space. Not for the spontaneous worker-outer. Also, be prepared for women 2x your age to have dexterity you can only dream about. Not for the proud!!! read more

I've been doing the Bar Method now off and on for 4 months. I see a little change in my body (it would help if I were more consistent, didn't drink wine, and ate less - but gotta enjoy life!), but I could defiinitely tell a difference, especially since Bar Method works out muscles that you just can't get to via jogging, or aerobics. The studio is clean, and they are so nice to provide water, towels, socks, toiletries, etc. But it IS expensive. And I was a bit dubious at first b/c I had never signed up for a workout program that requires you to sign up for classes each and every time in advance. And while I've been able to get to most of the classes I wanted, there are times when classes just aren't available. The instructors are great and very detailed oriented. Go for MAUREEN, ERIN, and ALLISON. The classes are one hour of pure torture, but you move around so fast you don't have time to even think about anything else, which I love. read more

I just got back from my first bar method class and it kicked my ass. So, I was bored with my gym workout and couldn't find a yoga studio that I liked so I thought i would check out the bar method. Plus, I always wanted to be a ballerina :) It basically takes principles and movements of ballet and targets individual muscle groups. Don't get intimated, the movements are basic but you feel them instantly! So let me walk you through the experience. I arrived 20 minutes early and was warmly welcomed into the studio. The owner gave me a tour and told me that i will be in a class with mixed levels and not to be discouraged, everyone was new at one point. I was really impressed by the cleanliness and use of space. They have showers, lockers( no charge to use), and cubbies. They provide you with everything that you need: towels, water, and even free socks if you need them. They also have socks that you can purchase if you want grips on them. These will cost you 12 dollars. When I went to the class, an older lady sat down next to me and let me know that the people who attend are friendly and a really nice group. She was in her 60's and let me know that she has been attending classes for 3 years. So it thought to myself, if an older lady can do this, so can I. That did not turn out to be the case. Now, I am not out of shape, I have done yoga for close to 10 years, I do work outs at the gym daily. Yet, I was the fat/awkward/shakey chick in class who needed to modify the 25 push ups. Embarrassing. To add to said embarrassment, a lady in her 40's looked at me and said, ' don't worry, it gets easier". SUPER EMBARRASSING. There is a range of ages and experience here, which I like. You must register for classes on-line which I also like. If you are looking for something that will make your muscles burn, this is the place. I am excited to continue with these classes and see how my body changes. If you decide to take a class, feel free to sit next to me: I will be the fat chick modifying the push ups. read more

I was very skeptical when I first heard about Bar Method. I've never been able to do yoga or pilates - it's just too slow and my mind and focus starts to wander and I get bored. But I still decided to give it a shot since the introductory rate was only $10. OMG!! I consider myself to be pretty fit and workout on a regular basis but the hour here kicked my butt. I wanted to give up half way through the class. Not wanting to look like a wimp, I pushed through despite the agony on my face. At the end of it all, I couldn't wait to do another class. For me, it was like getting a tattoo - it's uncomfortable and somewhat painful and I'm cursing at the process the entire time, but as soon as I leave, I want to go back and get another. The Bar Method is very addicting and the next day, my whole ENTIRE body was sore and it felt good. Allison (owner) and the rest of the staff were so great and the facilities were really nice. I didn't make it back to the lockers or bathrooms but judging from the lobby, I'm sure it was great. The only downside is cost of the class - it's not cheap. At $24 dollars a class, I can't see myself coming back anytime soon, especially on my nonprofit salary. They do have a good introductory deal - $100 for the first month but still a bit steep for me. But if you do have the funding, it's definitely worth it. In the meantime, I've gotten the DVDs and have been doing them at home ($30 for two dvds - not too bad). read more

I tried both Pure Barre in Hillcrest and The Bar Method in Point Loma. I liked both but what made me choose The Bar Method was their facility and the routines they teach. The Bar Method's studio has a spa-like feel. They have showers and lockers and a large sink area with free toiletries such as cotton swabs, hair ties, tampons, etc. They don't have a restroom in the gym but there's a restroom right outside in the hallway. They offer towel service and water for purchase. They have 2 "studios" so they can accommodate a larger number of students than at Pure Barre. I went to Pure Barre once and The Bar Method once before making my choice and where to sign up. I liked the routines at both but I found that The Bar Method worked my arms and legs more and I liked that. Prior to this I've never taken any sort of organized exercise class. My workouts always consisted of running on the treadmill and weight machines. The Bar Method is hard but I don't hate it the way I hate getting on a treadmill. I've only been going for a week but so far I really like it. read more

I am really torn. I was the biggest fan of Barre Body in Pacific Beach, but I think Bar Method has won me over by just a bit. Way better than Barre Body: - beautiful, upscale spa feel I usually take 6am classes and as much there is a lot internal fight in me with getting out of bed so early, the moment I walk through this studio door I am being pampered! First you have to take your shoes off to wear the socks for the workout. While I am changing and stepping barefoot there is warm and natural feeling wood under my feet in the reception area. Then when I walk in the studio the carpet is soft and so comfy to walk on. It molds to your feet! The studio is so beautiful with the sunrise light coming through the windows. I could just stay there all day and meditate after class. Also during the afternoon classes they have better than just basic fluorescent lighting and you actually like looking at yourself in the mirror, because it makes you look good! Possibly worse than Barre Body: - different workout routine After taking my first class at BM I was a little disappointed because I felt like Barre Body did a better job at pushing my muscles more into shaking by doing more and more consistent reps for calves, thighs, etc. I feel like I may be getting faster and better results from Barre Body than Bar Method. But I enjoy the BM routine a little more: it seems more varied and more fun and it's still new too me, but after awhile when I learn what to expect after each section of the class I may get a little bored too. The same amazing approach in both: - welcoming and friendly staff I have no idea how all the instructors can remember all the students names! And be so encouraging and caring while giving one of the best workouts I have ever tried! I think after I am done with my 10 days for $10 special I will alternate buying classes at both studios. It will be a crunch time though as both places have comparable pricing and it is very expensive! I really wish it would be less... read more

Believe the hype! Bar Method is ridiculously amazing. The first class is definitely tough because the class moves quickly and often it's hard to follow but it does get better! I signed up for the new client special and I just did my 10th class yesterday. Every class is a challenge and I am always sore in all the right places. I can already feel a difference in my body so I am offically addicted. All the instructors are really nice and each has their own style. They will correct you on form but don't take it personally. These corrections are necessary so you feel the maximum burn and don't hurt yourself in the process. The goal is to get your muscles to shake and they definitely will! I highly recommend Bar Method but this class is serious stuff so be prepared to challenge your body and mind. It takes a lot of focus and willpower but the results are worth it. read more

Working out is not my favorite pass time. But, I know that once I start seeing results, then that motivates me to want to exercise more and really take care of my body. To me, a gym can get boring and the workouts are just so....blegh! One day, I was driving down through Liberty Station in Point Loma and saw a sign for Bar Method. I went home, looked up the website and was really intrigued by their 'method' of exercise. It is basically Pilates, Yoga and Ballet all rolled into one. When I took a class for the first time, I could not believe how difficult, intense yet satisfying it was. Best of all, the class was not boring. I had the pleasure of meeting Allison McCurdy, owner of Bar Method in Liberty Station, and she has been a great part in helping me with my comeback figure. Yes, I call it a comeback figure because once you have seen what your body can look like on it's best day, you want that back. It is definitely a place you want to go if you want to see results and have better posture and just better strength all around. I am hooked. read more

I've been going three times a week for about three months now and I'm really enjoying it. The workout is always challenging and the staff is incredibly friendly. I took away one star because in the last three months, they have gotten SO busy. You have to reserve a spot in class way in advance and all of the classes are packed. There are times when we start the barre portion of the class and I'm left wondering where I'll be able to squeeze in because it looks like all of the spots are taken. I really hope they do something to make the class sizes smaller in the future. If they did, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. Right now, I don't want to encourage anyone else to come because they might take my spot! read more

Addiction - to put it simply, is what The Bar Method is for me. I look forward to it every day. Hell, I have no problem going every.single.day! The $10 for 10 days deal got my attention - after attending my puny "ONE free class" at Pure Barre (lil snobby for my taste, and they don't help with your form as much as Bar Method) I was in search for something better. I'm a pretty active person, I used to spin 3 days a week...but nothing compares to how good Bar Method makes me feel, and how QUICKLY I've felt and seen results. At about 105 lbs, I'm looking to tighten and tone, rather than lose weight. My thighs feel slimmer and WAY tighter than ever. They really target your accessory muscles to tone everywhere, not just major muscle groups. My abs are flatter by the day. I'm becoming so much more flexible and practicing my split stretch, yes many girls can drop down into the splits no problem. Inspiring :) The instructors are fantastic, every single one of them. Not to mention smokin' hot! My favorite instructor is Maureen, she compliments as much as she corrects form, which is nice. It doesn't feel like you're getting called out on incorrect form, they're sincerely helping you so you get all the benefits from the exercise. The workout is intense, but hurts so good. They actually promote your muscles shaking - "that's when the change happens." and believe me, you will be shaking uncontrollably. The hour flies by, the studio is gorgeous. The "locker room" is like a spa. I'm hooked! I LOVE BAR METHOD! read more

This place is no joke. Helluva workout. For my first experience, this was was so inspiring! Awesome, helpful, encouraging instructors. Beautiful, clean facility. Super welcoming staff! Can't wait to go back! read more

The staff at Bar Method Point Loma have single-handedly brought my fitness routine to the next level! I've been able to stay consistent for many years because of the personalized, hands-on attention every instructor gives you. This studio studio is gorgeous, well maintained and stocked with all the amenities you need. Shout out to Jill and Julie who made my Bar Bridal Shower class a memory that I will cherish for years to come! read more

I absolutely LOVE the Bar Method! The exercises are different than any other workout I have done...and will leave you shaking! It toned me up quickly and left me excited for the next challenging class. The instructors are awesome - and even if classes are full, you always feel personal attention and form adjustments throughout the class. They have a beautiful facility! Make sure to make a reservation - it is easy and online. I recommend buying a package of classes or a monthly subscription to lower your price per class. Here's to the burn! read more

You know when you love something so much, and are SO loyal to it, when you try out a different brand/company/class it feels like cheating? It's like you have this amazing relationship but you just had this itch to test out what else is out there? I'm, like, 200% loyal to my 2 and a half year relationship with Dailey Method in San Francisco. I call it a relationship because I spend between 3-5 days a week in the studio and feel like it's almost like a family. I work a front desk shift once a week in trade for free classes so try to make the most of my unlimited situation. Well I have to admit that I've always been curious, so since I was in SD for the weekend I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give Bar a try (different area codes, yes?). Plus I was feeling a need for the burn and San Diego is unfortunately sans Dailey (however Carlsbad is coming soon, folks!) Mostly it was exactly what I expected. There were a couple slight variations, but then again there are probably a billion different ways you can complete "thigh work" anyway. Caitlin was adorable and completely attentive to everyone's form which is something I think is really important with instructors, and Kyle was really friendly and nice at the desk. He told her to look out for me since I was a new client and she made sure to introduce herself-- and seemed confused that although I was new I pretty much knew the drill... but it really is almost exactly the same stuff (tucking, form, the entire sequence of class, etc) And finally the studio- the space is beautiful and the carpet, mats and locker room were kept up really well and it made the entire experience great. Next time I'm back in SD I'll definitely be coming back... 5 star experience for sure (shhh, don't tell!) read more

It's day 8 of my ten day Bar Method marathon...and...I....feel... GREAT? CRAPPY? FINE? Hard to say after 8 straight days what the feeling should be... My abs hurt a little and I think my butt is sore but it's never felt like this before so I can't be sure if it's soreness or the fat melting off. The instructors are nice and the class makes me sweat so I am definitely thinking of taking 30 more days for $100. Is it pricey? HECK YEAH! Is it worth it? MAYBE! I'll keep you posted on if I actually attend for the next 30 days. I'm feeling like Morgan Spurlock....somebody set up the leftist hippy teleprompter! read more

I don't typically go around promoting anything, but I just can't keep my mouth shut about the Bar Method Point Loma! My youngest child is now 8 years old and I have been trying to change the shape of my body ever since! Nothing seemed to work...until I found Bar Method! Within 3 months, I noticed a change in my waist and my muscle definition! Now I have been at it for 2 1/2 years and am still going strong. As a matter of fact, if I have to miss a few days in a row, I get really irritated! I now stand taller, my body is stronger, my pant size is smaller and my confidence is greater! I have to say that you do have to go minimally 4 days a week to notice a change but it's not hard to do because it's ADDICTING!!! The environment is so very friendly and inviting, the instructors are extremely motivating and the owners are so accommodating. The price point is a bit more than your local YMCA, but even though you are in a "class" setting, you still feel like you're getting help from your own personal trainer...AND...the results are immeasurable! If you've never been to Bar Method, you should give it a try! This is one addiction that will do you good!!! read more

I've been missing my ballet days and I tried a class, or two. I loved it!! The instructor was tough, but remembered my name, and kept giving me tips. Some talented girls in there. And some newbies like myself. A nice mix. I really enjoy the stretching, lifting your muscles -- those components of ballet and the barre is always nice and familiar. I'm so glad they have places like these now so I don't have to enroll in a ballet class -- I think this is more fun! I've been meaning to sign up, will do soon! read more

Who knew working out could look so pretty? When you first walk into the studio, it looks like you stepped into a Lululemon catalogue. But don't let the looks fool you - these workouts are tough! I've been going to Bar Method for 3 straight weeks now, and I've never felt better! You'd think that going four times a week would make the workouts a little easier as time goes on, but I'm still going home extremely sore to the core. If you want a workout that's fun yet challenging, then definitely give this place a try. First class is only $10 and they have a new client special going on! First month is $100 for unlimited classes and you get an extra week free (5 weeks total). read more

I love bar method. I'm a Pilates instructor, and I own a studio here in SD, and this place is great... It's my sanctuary away from my own studio sanctuary :-) it's really great being a student. The hour flies by, I feel sore in all the right places, and my poor injured ankles and knees are sooo much better when I do bar workouts in combination with my Pilates. by strengthening the muscles around my injured joints, then stretching, I've never felt better. The staff is fantastic, the space is very nice, parking is never a problem and every teacher is great. I love Erin and Courtney. The owners are really great people too. I love Bar Method, it's a great addition to any fitness regimen. read more
