The Bar Method

Wow. Can I just say what a complete ass kicker this was?! I’m a serial studio goer and I tried everything from boxing to yoga to cross fit but this definitely goes and gets deep into your muscles. And the teachers are super great and hands on. Kudos to Andrea. She really tries to get to know everyone and help with our form. Definitely going to try this again.

Overall I have enjoyed the 7 classes I have attended. The parking is easy, the studio is clean with nice amenities, the staff is friendly & welcoming. The classes have been challenging, although a little boring at times. They don’t seem to mix it up much and only once or twice was the music inspiring. I appreciate all the stretching throughout the class however at times it feels the instructors are rushing it, another 5 seconds would do wonders. I also wish the instructors would demonstrate more of the moves. I’m very visual and seeing is more effective when there are 10 things you are trying to get your body to do at once… feet parallel, leg bent, pelvis under, chest forward, shoulders down, waist bent, leg back, toes flexed… Again, visual is more helpful! The price is also a concern for me. I’ve attended another studio which had ALL the same positive features with more exciting workouts for $ 120 a month. I’m not convinced this studio is worth $ 150 a month for me. I will be trying others in my area before making that commitment.

I have been a avid Bar Method-​er since this place opened 4 years ago. Though various jobs have caused me to bounce around to a few of the LA studios, the LB studio is as good as it gets if you are looking for a challenging workout that is not cross fit or interval training. Even to someone like me that is an avid marathon-​er this place kicks my butt every time. Andrea, Joe, Allison, Aubrey, Justine and Aprilyn are all great and truly have passion behind what they do and the success stories they generate. If your looking for something to switch up your regular gym routine give this place a shot! Does wonders for flexibility ;)

Great workout! Everyone is so welcoming. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Love this place!

I love my barmethod
Professional, intense, rewarding, it has become my routine.
Fantastic staff. I feel wonderful right when I walk in the door. Always friendly, kind staff and classmates.
I love being a barmethod gal

I am so happy that I discovered The Bar Method. It’s the best way to start the day. The teachers are so talented and friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you have proper form and that you are doing the moves correctly. They inspire you to challenge yourself so you get the most out of each class. It’s amazing how you can feel and see your body changing. Give them 60 minutes and they’ll give you a life changing workout.

Bar Method is a challenging workout. The owners and instructors are all friendly and seem to genuinely care about everyone getting the most out of every class. They emphasize form and will come around to reposition you if needed. They also make an effort to know everyone’s name in class.
The facility is clean and well stocked with most toiletries.

My favorite place to workout! It’s a full body workout that continually challenges me. The instructors are knowledgable and personable.

I’ve just celebrated my 4 year anniversary of working out at Bar Method. It’s a full body workout that continues to challenge me and is keeping me fit well into my 50’s. I attend the 6am class 3 – 4 days a week. It’s a great way to start the day. It’s become part of my routine, I’ve met some great workout buddies and the instructors keep me motivated with each class. My body gets an incredible workout and I especially love the emphasis on keeping my posture straight. It really keeps me from slouching throughout the day. On top of a wonderful workout, the studio has a great locker room equipped with showers, towels and amenities. Another plus is they provide free coffee in the lobby. What’s not to love? So grateful for Bar Method Long Beach studio!

This is my favorite barre studio. I have tried 2 others for months at a time. The others don’t compare in technique and method. I love the results I’m seeing and feeling! It’s super clean and they have a beautiful a locker room with showers. The teachers are awesome, they always switch it up and keep me motivated all the way through the class. The whole place has such a friendly atmosphere, from the front desk to the teachers and other people taking to class. I think this is a great place for anyone at any fitness level. Do it!

Bar Method is fun, challenging and rewarding. Although the classes aren’t easy by any means, the format perfectly combines physical exertion with stretching and results in a great workout! Instructors here do a fantastic job of providing encouragement and personal attention to everyone in class.
The studio is very clean and well-​organized. Lockers are located in both the front and back of the studio, workout towels are provided and there are shower facilities available (which you don’t normally see in smaller studios).

What more can I say… I started over a year ago and I still love it. It is a great blend of yoga, Pilates and ballet. The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly as they call everyone by their first name. Highly recommend! :-)

I am very pleased with my decision to try Bar Method. It remains challenging and fun, even after a year. I always feel really great after class. Most importantly, though, the specialized attention to technique, sincerely fun teachers, and outstanding staff set this studio apart from other programs.

I have been coming here since Jan 2015 and I have never been able to stick with a workout routine this long in my life and I’m still motivated to keep going. The teachers are awesome! They are super helpful and motivating. My husband has been loving the results I have been getting! I am stronger, leaner, and more flexible than I have ever been. I defiantly would recommend trying bar method, you won’t regret it!

I love this place! It’s honestly one of the best and one the friendliest and most convenient barre studio or gym I’ve ever been to. I broke it up into three categories:
Staff-​The owners, Jo and Andrea, are great and so are the rest is of the staff, especially Audrey and Angela! It’s the type of place that everyone remembers your name and your life. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a bad day or been in a crappy mood and their presence and smile cheers me up.
Studio-​This is an intensely beautiful studio and with some serious amenities. They have a straight-​out-​of-​a-​Pinterest dream locker room with showers and towels. They also have small towels for everyone to use. You also don’t need to worry about getting their super early to find parking or get a good spot in class – just very laid back (make sure to use the app to reserve classes).
Workout-It’s consistently challenging and probably the most strength-​focused barre class I’ve experienced. I really enjoy their new Bar Move class which gives a burst of cardio and crazy to their normal class — grab a towel because you’ll be sweating! They are always having some awesome fitness challenge where you can win cute socks or sweat bands
Highly recommend!

Best workout Ever!!! Bar method is addicting, fun, painful, makes me happy, muscles burn and I look forward to it each time! 3 – 4 times a week and you’ll see results! Great teachers and good vibe!

It’s all about those micro-​movements.
After trying a few barre classes, I found my niche. The studio is small and impressively clean, which is always a great thing because it shows the attention to detail. Which brings me to the workout. The instructors are very friendly, knowledgeable and pay attention to the details! They are very helpful in correcting your posture, which is a good thing cause you wanna make sure you are burning the right muscles and you don’t want to injure yourself. The staff is very friendly and I like that the classes are not overlay packed because the instructors are able to really help you develop those long and lean muscles. I wished I lived closer because I’d be here everyday!

If you want to feel energetic, motivated, positive and have tighter buns, go to the 6 am class with Angela. She’s got the magic potion for making you feel amazing! Plus the location as a great view of the sunrise.

I used to love Bar Method and this location. I didn’t see how I would ever get over my adoration but it happened. I think this eventually happens to most people because many people I’ve met in the last 3 years have come and gone. Maybe it’s a cyclic process and it’s my turn now.
My old reviews still stand for the most part. I highly recommend the Bar Method if you’ve never tried it before. It’s a great all over workout. This location is easygoing and casual — no stress or fuss.
The last 6 months I have only been hitting Bar Method up sporadically… the motivation and fun diminished significantly. I just canceled my monthly membership, which I highly recommend if you’re going 3x a week or more.
Ultimately I think what did me in is that 4 amazing teachers left this location and their shoes have not yet been filled. They were all juggernauts, so I know it’s hard to find people like that again. They have 5 teachers right now and while I love 3, the other 2 are not a good fit for me. I also realize that I need to be able to workout in the early afternoon and that’s not a possibility with Bar Method. I need more variety in my workout too and to do this I need to spend less money on just the Bar Method.
Overall, I think this is a great place to try out at least once… you never know you may become a regular for a couple of years, like me.
Bye Bar Method — I wish you well!

After trying a few classes at Pure Barre, I thought barre just wasn’t for me. Then I came to The Bar Method in Long Beach and LOVED it.
What’s amazing about this studio is that they have a beginner’s class, with lots of personalized attention, so I don’t feel intimidated by the advanced clients. It’s an amazing workout that leaves me sore in muscles I didn’t even know I had.
The studio really values its clientele. I came here via ClassPass, and they learned my name immediately, and remember it each time I return. I also got a handwritten postcard in the mail after my first class, as well as a phone call a few days later from their front desk asking how I liked the class.
The studio is beautiful, and there’s also a ton of parking, especially on weekends. Can’t wait to go back!
