Ready for a safe, challenging, and graceful workout? Every Bar Method class starts with a warm-up, upper-body exercises, and push-ups, followed by a sequence of leg and seat work at the barre and core exercises on the floor. The method predominantly uses your own body weight for resistance, along with a few props (free weights, mats, and balls). Students are continually challenged with exercise variations timed to the beat of the music. Students of all levels work within their individual limits while receiving encouragement to push forward. The fast pace of the class spikes the heart rate at different intervals to burn calories not just in the classroom, but long after. Students leave feeling centered and in touch with their inner personal strength. $200 gift card is valid for classes at Bar Method studios in Walnut Creek, San Ramon, or Oakland.
