5 /5 Robin Petro: Update to my review about 3 years ago: I am still a die hard Bar Method fan, taking 6+ classes per week. So much so I decided to go for it and become a certified instructor. The process to learn to teach Bar was so much more involved than I imagined. 4 and a half months (and that was accelerated) to learn intentional structure, physical safety guidelines, anatomy, muscle function and the spirit of Bar - really solidified how much Bar Method cares about its clients and their well being - physically and emotionally. I was worried becoming a teacher would turn something I love into a ājobā. But it honestly was the best thing I ever did. I love the Long Beach studio - both staff and clients. Every face in the studio (both familiar and brand new) brings me joy. Come and join our family! Regardless of your ability, age, body shape or confidence level, you will be welcomed with open arms and guided to be your best self!

Since writing a review 4 years ago I have kicked my workouts up from 2-3 times per week to 5-6 times per week. My strength and endurance has increased tenfold! Yes, I attend for the beautifully toned body it has given me but I attend more for the mental health benefits. Not only do I get an endorphin high at the end of class but Iām surrounded by a caring and supportive community of teachers, staff and fellow Bar addicts. itās harder than it looks, give it a try!!
