PROPS TO OUR PROPS: THE BALL The special 2-ply construction makes for soft handling and durability when using the ball to tone your upper body. In second position thigh and pretzel seat work, the ball offers a challenge for your arms, abs, and upper back that improves balance, coordination and, core strength. When you hold the ball between your hands in one of these exercises, it initiates your core and more effectively triggers your stabilizers to support you. Try it next time you’re given the opportunity in class. #tonedarms #strongbody #corestrength
We wish a very happy holiday. We will see you Thursday at the barre!
Please welcome our guest teacher from Bar Method Soho, Sarah Rosenbloom! Sign up now to catch Sarah's amazing classes 7/2 Mixed level @ 8:15 & 7/3 Mixed level @ 9:30. You do not want to miss this opportunity to take a class with our visiting NY bar star.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY LIKE AT THE BAR METHOD? Whether you visit a studio in Los Angeles, Vancouver, St. Louis, or New Jersey...you’ll find that although each studio has its subtle differences, they share one thing in common: A strong community of students, teachers, and staff supporting each other to be better versions of themselves. The Bar Method community is made up of people committed to doing the work and getting the payoff. It’s all about the journey and progress over perfection. Everyone in the studio supports each other on their journey! What do you love most about our Bar Method community?
Enjoy “Self-Care Sunday” with a well-deserved soak in the tub. We recommend spicing up your bath with some Epsom Salts (aka magnesium sulfate) to help relieve joint pain and soothe sore muscles. Not to mention, magnesium is known to promote relaxation, exfoliate skin and just make you feel good! The Epsom Salt Council recommends dissolving 2 cups of Epsom Salt in 15 gallons of water (the amount in standard-sized tub) and soaking for approximately 15 minutes. What is your favorite at-home remedy for sore muscles? #selfcaresunday
It would be hard for your posture not to improve with The Bar Method. Not only do we teach exercises that specifically target your back and shoulder muscles to improve your posture, we also take posture and alignment into consideration with every setup of every exercise. You’re taught to lift your chin in order to decrease the stress on your cervical spine, press your shoulder blades closer to one another to stretch out tight, rounded shoulders, and pull your abdominals in to protect your back and flatten your abs. All of these cues throughout class add up to improved posture, poise and confidence! When did you start to notice your posture improve after starting The Bar Method?
Happy Birthday Lora! We wish a year filled with health, happiness, laughter, and little bundles of joy. We are so grateful for you and all you do make the Bar Method HP the absolute best. You make our days, community, and life brighter. Here’s to the best year ahead.
Happy Birthday Emma! We wish you the happiest year ahead for you. Today we are thankful for you, the light you shine, and yes, YOUR awesome classes! Have a fabulous day!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: WILL MY FLEXIBILITY INCREASE FROM TAKING THE BAR METHOD? Yes! The Bar Method combines dynamic-active stretches (typically performed by moving through challenging yet comfortable movements repeatedly - stretching a muscle group by actively contracting the muscle group opposite to it) with passive-static stretches (involve holding a challenging, yet comfortable position for approximately 30 seconds after performing an exercise targeting that muscle or muscle group). The combination of stretches offered in intervals throughout the class will increase your flexibility, lengthen your muscles, and make your body look stronger and more graceful! What changes in your flexibility have you seen since starting The Bar Method?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: CAN I LOSE WEIGHT DOING THE BAR METHOD? You absolutely can! The Bar Method is a type of interval training that offers up both aerobic exercise and strength training all in one class. In Bar Method, you build dense muscle which makes your body more efficient at burning calories in and after class. Keep in mind that what you put into your body is just as important as what you burn off of your body. Healthy weight loss starts in the kitchen and stays in the studio.
Happiest of birthdays to this bar beauty. We wish you the absolute best year ahead!
In observance of Memorial Day, we wanted to share the incredible story from one of our dedicated teachers in Atlanta - East Cobb. Krystal's testimonial reminds us that The Bar Method physical results are unparalleled but the effects of the workout carry through to other areas beyond the classroom. Thank you for your service Krystal, and to everyone who has served or currently serving in the US military to protect our country! We appreciate you! "When most people think about fitness classes, they typically connect with the physical benefits. The Bar Method delivers physical results and so much more. I believe the mental benefits are even more valuable. I have been in the U.S. Army Reserves for 15 years, with some active duty time, where I learned quite a bit about mental resiliency. Physical strength, while very important, will only take you so far. It’s a person’s inner strength that determines whether or not someone has the potential to complete difficult tasks and achieve their goals. The military believes in the importance of this concept so much so, now resiliency training is mandatory for every soldier. I have found other ways to gain mental strength, and The Bar Method is right at the top of the list. The overarching effort by the instructors to push you to refuse all limits, combined with the intentionally designed structure of the class keeps your mental muscles working in overdrive for the full hour. The class, orchestrated by the instructor is designed to take you on a personal growth journey you didn’t know you needed, or wanted to take. You are encouraged, motivated, and adjusted along the way, all in an effort to make you better. Just when you think you have reached a plateau, or think you can’t continue, that little voice in your mind tells you 'to look up and notice the next peak in front of you…now keep climbing.' Unfortunately, earlier in my military career I had not discovered The Bar Method yet, which meant I learned mental toughness the hard way. I had a fantastic life-changing opportunity to become the first female squad designated marksman in the Army, and after I graduated the course I was offered an instructor position! As a young soldier this was very exciting, however not all of my students were accepting of a female instructor in an all-male environment. Admittedly, it was tough and tore me down at times. I learned through trial and error how to adapt to many different and difficult situations quickly. I know now, it would have been easier to adapt had I had The Bar Method in my life. I have learned through the method that you can break down the walls you build and get through the next obstacle in front of you. That in fact, we are all capable of achieving what we want. Being able to recover after feeling broken, or making a mistake quickly is essential to overcoming the challenges you face to reach your goals. If you keep at it, before too long, the challenges turn into rewards, and the rewards turn into results. My favorite thing about The Bar Method is the continuous growth it expects of you. It’s made a big difference in my life and career in the military, which is why it was an easy decision for me to become a Bar Method teacher a little over a year ago at the Atlanta – East Cobb studio. I love helping my students tap into their inner strength and fight for their goals. Keep crushing it!"
