This is the start of something strong


Consider this your official invitation to meet your strongest self. Show up ready for new possibilities, potential and power.

Preparing For Your First Bar Method Class

DRESS TO IMPRESS (YOURSELF)

Here's your excuse to buy another pair of yoga pants. Wear comfortable exercise clothes and socks that cover your entire foot. *Be sure to check with your local studio.

ARRIVE
EARLY

No one has ever regretted showing up early. Arriving 15 minutes before class will give you time to check in, meet your instructor and ask questions.

SAY HELLO TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Your instructor will get you set up. They'll also want to know all about you—what you love about exercise, your physical history, previous injuries, your goals, your pregnancy—everything.

Experience welcome, not required


Most of our students did not have a dance background or barre experience when they took their first Bar Method class. That means you can show up as you are, whether you're brand new to barre, in a fitness rut, or exercising with injuries—we'll work with you to reach your goals.

How we barre at The Bar Method


Class kicks off with a warm-up and upper-body exercises before heading to the barre where your lower body will get familiar with what we call "The Bar Method burn." Core exercises on the floor round out class followed by a final stretch. You'll fall in love with the quick pace and high energy of your first Bar Method class without ever feeling left behind.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST MONTH OF BARRE

Your first class will send your muscles into overdrive so recovery and hydration are non-negotiables. Muscle soreness is likely, but think of it as physical evidence that your body is changing. Drink water, embrace the discomfort, book your next class, repeat. After the first four weeks of class, you'll see definition in your biceps, stability in your core, power in your legs. Let these changes fuel your momentum.

WEEK 1


You will shake in class and you will be sore after class—if you don't know what we mean by that, you will. This is how your body responds to a challenge. If you're shaking, you're doing it right.

WEEK 2


The workout gets harder, but that doesn't mean you're not getting stronger. Your muscles are being worked in a way they haven't before. You may have to modify the exercises and that's okay.

WEEK 3


Change is felt before it's seen and that's a good thing because when you feel stronger and more energized, it shows up in your workout. You'll begin to notice an improvement in your flexibility now, too.

WEEK 4


Balance, coordination, endurance, muscle definition—these are a few of our favorite things and everything you can expect after a month of barre classes.
