Sticking with The Bar Method has made me stronger and leaner, yes, but it has also shown me that I can do, and be, more than I think. My increased endurance and ability to "push through" has benefited me in situations far from the studio. A major benefit to the very low-impact, often full-body exercises, is strength without injury. I've long had knee, hip, and other joint concerns, and I am now much more confident (and have significantly less discomfort) when hiking and even walking. When I first started, I struggled for months to even execute all the movements. Almost three years later, class has not become easy, but I have become much better at it! What really makes it possible for me to come back day after day (and year after year!) is the welcoming environment and truly excellent teachers. If I gave details as to why each individual teacher is great, this review would be a novella instead of the essay it is already. So instead, check it out for yourself and, if you see me around, you can pull me aside after class and we can dish. Here is one last thought: The more you attend class, the better (and faster) results you will see. This is a win-win situation when you consider affordability, because the relative cost of each class goes down the more times a week you attend. Three is good, five is great! This makes the monthly membership an excellent deal if you are ready and able to commit to change.
