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.
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!
This is a lovely, clean, well-run, friendly place. It has been my go-to for over three years now. (I've quit all other gyms.) The instructors are kind but push you to do your best. Helen (the owner) is a star. If you're looking for a bar method studio, this is it.
I have been going here for the past 3 months, and I absolutely LOVE it. The most important thing to me is making sure I do the workout correctly and don't injure myself. Every instructor I had has given me good, hands-on tips to adjust my pose. I always leave the class feeling rejuvenated and I definitely feel the burn in class and later at home. I;ve tried other types of Barre classes before and this is by far the most effective and professional class I've gone to. Love, love it. Only downside: I just wish there more affordable options for monthly memberships.
I had heard about the Bar Method for a long time from various friends. They all seemed to get very hooked into it so I went as a guest one Saturday and now I totally get what all the fuss is about. It is such an amazing and different work out to anything I have done before. I have discovered muscles I never even knew about. The teachers are all such good role models and so inspiring and encouraging. It has become a really wonderful community of people that I am now a part of and I genuinely love it. Highly recommend.
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.
I love going to Bar. It's so easy - all I have to do is show up and there is a good workout waiting for me. The instructors are all super helpful and have gotten to know me personally so if I need to modify something it's never an issue. Plus I see local friends there - which is an added bonus!
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!

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!

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.

Bar Method Berkeley is fabulous. It's a beautiful studio. The classes are very challenging, the instructors are caring and committed and there is a real sense of community there. I can't believe how strong I've gotten.

Wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean, bright environment. All around great!
The best, safest, most strengthening workout ever! Also the teachers are amazing and the community so nice and friendly. Low stress--just butt busting:)
I appreciate the suggestions I get from all the teachers I've taken.. the method has helped me build strength so I don't hurt my joints and my posture has improved. SO vital in my senior years. The studio is clean and pleasant. I now go four times a week at least to continue improving and fine tuning my body.
Pleasant instructors who are also very helpful. Studio space is immaculate. A great fitness boost for a non-self-starter.
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 :)

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 :)

Love coming here! A work out you can do almost daily, the instructors are super helpful and nice, remember your name each time you go, and class sizes are great as well. Just all around good vibes. :-)

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!

North Berkeley Bar's teachers are fun and encouraging. The studio has an upbeat, positive vibe. And it's a serious, head-to-toe workout.
I love this place. Hardest workout I've ever done, but definitely the most rewarding! I'm happy to be here every minute. Super friendly staff, really clean and well-designed space, great location.
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.
I like how personalized the class was. The teacher, Megan, learned my name and knew exactly where I needed to adjust as class went on.
