What a great find! Ive been going to The Bar Method over the past month or so since they reopened their classes (with reduced capacity due to Covid-19). Janet is excellent at teaching a challenging class while making form and accuracy of movement a priority.
I have been attending The Bar Method in Tustin for exactly 2 weeks now. It was recommended to me after meeting an owner of another studio because I was concerned about exercising with my lower back issues. She described it to me as a community, not just a fitness class, and I now know why. The people here are so kind, and the teachers are friendly, helpful, and motivating.The owner, Verna, is so nice, and you can see that her kindness has trickled down to the other staff. As a newbie, they gently adjust your movements so as to minimize the potential of injuries, and to help you find what is right for you. There is no condemnation if you dont get it right straight away, and there is so much encouragement during the class for everyone. They know your name... its like Cheers in there!I have already seen great results, and my constant back pain has diminished SO much in the last two weeks. And the best part - I REALLY enjoy the class. They are tough, but fun. The music is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I am challenging myself. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to make a change for good in their body & mind.
I just finished my 40th class and love it here! For some background, I have no dance experience whatsoever. I’m a runner and played soccer and tennis, but nothing close to bar method. I’m also very inflexible so don’t feel like you need a dance background or need to be really flexible. With each class I felt a lot stronger and I definitely see tone in areas I never did before. Janet and Stephanie are my favorite instructors, they’re extremely friendly and really help make sure your form is correct. They’ve both also given me individual pointers that help me target specific body areas and prevent any injuries. They’re also very good with motivating you to work out but they don’t make you feel bad if you can’t keep up with the rest of the class. I’ve been to a lot of gym classes where the instructors are just yelling at you to push yourselves and it makes you uncomfortable but the bar method doesn’t do that. They help push you in a way that makes you want to try harder and they help build your confidence. A lot of the people who take the classes are very advanced but there’s also a lot of beginners like me so don’t feel intimidated to come. Everyone here has been friendly and welcoming. I think the prices are a steal because the classes and instructors are that worth it. It’s more than the price of a regular gym membership, however, at bar method you get individual help on your form and each class is a little different so you’re never bored and you’re constantly challenged in a new way. I love it here and highly recommend bar method to anyone trying to lose weight, work on their strength and/or work on their flexibility.
If you want a challenging and fun low impact workout, this is the place for you. I’ve been coming here for 7 years and I absolutely love this place. The instructors are very well trained and give you lots of personal attention to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, too. 5 stars for the Bar Method!!
Great instructors, class times, and friendly people all around! I’ve been doing classes at Bar Method studios for 10 years- it’s truly a workout that gives results.
I have always been interested in trying the Bar Method, so when I saw that there was a Bar Method location in Tustin, I couldn’t wait to try it out. I am so glad I did because I love it! The instructors, facility, and Bar Method workout are wonderful! I always feel strong, both mentally and physically, after each workout. I feel all my muscles have been worked and have even worked muscles that I have never worked before with such exercises as “Arabesque” and “Pretzel”, etc. The instructors motivate and give personal feedback to ensure that each person’s form is correct. The instructors and staff are very friendly and personable-they make it a point to know each person’s name. It is wonderful going to a going to a class where you can get toned, burn calories, mentally focus, and have a great community of people. Love it!
Bar Method works! I have been positively challenged in their muscle targeting workouts that strengthen and tone my problem areas. When I am unsure about my body positions or form, I can rely on the knowledgeable teachers to gently correct me. Im confident I wont hurt myself but really work the right muscles. The classes are fun and upbeat and the studio staff is fabulous. After two weeks, Im feeling stronger and my flexibility is increasing.
Great combination of strength and stretching and wonderful people.
I originally came to The Bar Method at the request of my sister. As the sibling who tends to jump into things, she wanted me to try it out so I could report back and let her know if I thought it would be something she’d enjoy. Little did I know after my first session, I’d fall in love.For background I’ve tried so many styles of working out: yoga, running, weight lifting, rock climbing, apps, pilates, video games…the list goes on. Each had their positives, but never fit quite right. They would rip up my hands, tweak my lower back or shoulders, become too repetitive, not raise my heart rate enough, or a variety of other downfalls that made me lose interest.Going into a female dominated space, I was a little worried that I would be an outsider, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The teachers and classmates are some of the friendliest people on the planet. Once class starts there’s no time to talk, anyways, as you are WORKING the full class-time. Theres a format, but it changes enough each session to stay challenging and keep interest.I’ve loved every teacher and they have all pushed me to my limit, but without going so far as to cause pain or discomfort. With each correction to form given, there’s an explanation on how it’s protecting your body.Im 10 sessions in, but the change in my body (flexibility, strength, and size) in such short time is worth three times the value. I thought nothing could reshape my farmer’s calves.It may have started as a casual test run, but definitely find I’m in it for the long haul.
I recently completed 100 classes at the Tustin studio, and am going into my 3rd year of Bar Method. I think Tustin is a very special studio (I have taken at 3 others), as it has a very warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere. Each and every teacher is excellent. Honestly, the staff in my eyes could not be improved upon.I have to say Bar Method is the hardest workout I have ever had and it never gets easier, but that is what I love about it! You are constantly challenging yourself, and at the same time seeing results. Not only has Bar strengthened my muscles, and bones, it has also re-sculpted my muscles and helped my posture. I believe it is good for your brain too, to follow precise instructions and work to a count. I think the probably the biggest draw for me is that it is safe. I love that it was created along side physical therapists and there are modifications for all the exercises. I am 72 years old and this is of utmost importance! Thank you Tustin for your devotion and encouragement!
Love the Bar Method in Tustin!!! This is the first time in many years that I’ve truly enjoyed working out. Nothing feels uncomfortable on the body. There are no heavy weights that bulk you up and no fast-paced circuits that leave you out of breath. In fact, with all the stretches and breathing, you’ll feel a lot more energized. Also, you get to check yourself out in the mirror while doing graceful ballet inspired moves. Major confidence boost!
Love everything about this studio and workout! Your body craves it if you take too much time off from it. The location, the friendly atmosphere, the nice encouraging instructors and the workout is just awesome.
I started at the end of January. A friend has been doing bar for years and had wanted me to try like. My schedule finally allowed it and I am very glad that I tried it. I am used to high impact and heavy weight workouts. My body can no longer tolerate that kind of punishment. The Bar Method is the polar opposite. Its low impact with light weights. In 5 weeks of doing 2 or 3 classes a week I can feel my muscles lengthening, I have regained almost full extension of my knees. It is a good full body workout. I typically do an hour of cardio before coming to class, but thats my personal preference. This is an exercise regime that is perfect for those new to working out as well as those who are veteran gym rats.
I’ve been doing Bar Method for 6 years and will never go back to anything else! This is the only workout I’ve been able to do consistently ever. I feel more toned and stronger, both mentally and physically, after every class. The instructors are so knowledgeable and motivating and the positive community of women make it feel like a family. They also accommodate to injuries, and it does not irritate my lower back injury. If you haven’t been able to find a workout that you can stick to, I highly recommend the Bar Method in Tustin!
The instructors, staff and members are all wonderful! Verna, the owner, does a wonderful job encouraging a warm, welcoming community. This place is my sanctuary where all my troubles go away and where I get to focus on building my strength and flexibility. I highly recommend giving it a try; you wont be sorry, but you may be sore. :-)
The Bar Method has inspired me (a person who never exercised regularly) to exercise 4-6 days per week. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful and the teachers are so motivating. The owner Verna is so sweet and she is so supportive of our Tustin community.
Great instructors, great studio, great results! Ive tried every workout and can honestly say that Bar Method works. I never had a butt until I stared Bar 6 years ago (LOL!) and my legs finally have shape to them! Sometimes its easy to balk at the monthly cost of studio programs, but you probably spend that amount in a week going out to dinner or buying new shoes. Your body is the better investment, hands down.
If you’re looking to reshape your body with long, lean, strong muscles while having fun then Bar Method Tustin is the place for you! I’ve been coming to this studio for about 8 years and I love it💖. Most of all I have really enjoyed getting to know all my students personally and teaching is the absolute highlight of my day! As a bar student, I have never felt stronger and have lost 20 pounds and kept it off.Our studio owner Verna truly loves her clients and the community so come try the Bar Method Tustin!
If you are looking for a place to get a great workout in a welcoming environment, then Bar Method Tustin is your place! In one hour you will work and stretch every major muscle group in your body. And, the trained instructors will keep you safe from injury. Give it a try...you might become hooked like me!
I love Bar Method! I was a dancer when I was younger and I love this workout because it is all about increasing flexibility and strength. The instructors are fantastic and caring, learning your name and watching to make sure that your alignment is correct, especially when you are new! Also, the studio is very clean and nice!
Ive taken bar classes at other facilities but was always less than impressed with the attention they paid to form. Inevitably Id end up with a sore back or some other type of minor injury. Tustin Bar Method is VERY good about correcting form on individuals during class which is a benefit for everyone who hears it and can make their own adjustments if necessary. The staff and trainers are great! Highly recommend.
I love this bar! The community of women at this bar method are amazing. Full of support and strength. I’ve tried every workout played every sport but nothing has shaped my body the way bar method has. Who knew every little movement could have huge results. I found my pain here and I found my passion 💕
I have been taking barre type classes for over 10 years but had struggled to find the right studio since moving back to Orange County three years ago. I started attending classes at Bar Method Tustin earlier this year and I have found my new home. Everyone is so inviting and friendly and the instructors have really challenged me to always find my best form and shake. I especially love the Express option which allows me to get a full work out in just 45 minutes! I highly recommend Bar Method Tustin to anyone looking for a low impact, fun and invigorating barre class - I willprobably see you there!
Not quite summer ready? Get your booty over to The Bar Method in Tustin ASAP! It is seriously the best workout ever...works every single muscle in your body (including some you ever knew you had 🤣) If youre looking for longer, leaner muscles and a lifted seat, this is the place for you! It is an amazing community of women that I love to see every day♥️
I had never stuck to any form of exercise until I started The Bar Method. Its the perfect combination to build strength and flexibility while making sure you get no injuries. The instructors are super nice and knowledgeable - they give you pointers and encouragement during the class so you can improve little by little. The members are friendly and the owner and staff always have a smile for you - its great to work out at a place where everyone knows your name!
I’ve been doing Bar Method for 12 years starting in San Diego moving to New York, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and now my new home studio Tustin. ❤️ It is the most sustainable workout that never disappoints. I am constantly sore but not uncomfortably sore.
Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Wonderful mix of clients. After hip surgery followed by a bout with frozen shoulders, I am back working. I appreciate the individual attention to my form and individualized modifications when needed.
Ive been a bar fanatic for almost 2 years now and I still absolutely love it! I took classes all the way through my pregnancy (including the day I went into labor) and it allowed me to keep in shape while making adjustments to fit the needs of my body. The location is clean and convenient with plenty of parking, the instructors are helpful and motivating.... and most importantly, I always leave feeling like a got a great workout. Its just as challenging today as it was the day I started!
Bar method is my happy place. It is the only workout that I have been able to fully commit myself to. Every class is challenging and the soreness keeps me coming back! I started Bar Method through Groupon and then signed up for the bridal package. At first everyone thought I was just working out for the dress, but little did we all know, bar would become a huge part of my life that I couldnt imagine without. Even after the wedding I continued to go consistently and then realized, why not just sign up for the elite yearly membership? So I did! It is worth more than any gym membership could buy. The studio is filled with such a strong community, from Verna (the owner), the instructors and staff, to the all the clients. The environment is so welcoming and the relationships I have formed here are priceless. So if youre looking for a full body workout with real results and a supportive community, look no further. Try Bar Method Tustin out, you wont regret it! Love my bar family!
I have been attending classes @Tustin Bar Method for over two years. In each class, the teacher is spending the time to make sure our post is correct. The class is about the right size, not overcrowded. Other class mates are very socialable and easy to get along. I have gotten a lot of positive feed back on my body shape since I have gone to Bar Method.
The Bar Method Tustin has been so amazing! The whole staff is very welcoming and always remember your name! I love that the on site amenities are clean and available for everyone to use. I highly recommend this workout and this location to everyone!
Always a great way to start the day! No better place to leave feeling accomplished, empowered and totally encouraged!
I love this low impact workout that is easily modified for any injury or ability. All of the instructors are so warm and friendly and never make you feel uncomfortable, but are always encouraging you to challenge yourself. Overall, a great workout and great studio!
Clean environment - feels like a day spa! All of the teachers do an excellent job with each one offering something a little different. Youll be happy you tried it out!
There is NO PLACE like the BAR METHOD TUSTIN!!! Truly amazing- the workout is absolutely amazing- after 2 weeks I can already see a difference in my body- I feel stronger, leaner and my soul is brighter! If you haven’t been to the Bar Method, Tustin- you are missing out!
Love this workout! The instructors are friendly and encouraging. They continually challenge you to reach your fitness goals.
Looooveee this studio. great instructors and lots of times to choose from.
I love this studio! As a person who has historically gone to great lengths to avoid exercise, its a pretty big deal for me to say that I enjoy any form of working out.I shopped around looking for a barre studio close to my new job, and there were a few things that I was looking for that I definitely didnt find at the other local studios. I wanted something that was fun, easy on my joints, worked with my schedule, and focused as much on stretching my muscles as it did strengthening them. The Bar Method Tustin checked off all of these boxes and more.The staff here is so friendly from the front desk girls to the teachers to the owner. Ive taken class with Janet, Reggi, Verna, Lisa, and Stephanie, and all of them have been amazing!Ive been going 4-5 times per week for the last two months, and Ive been amazed at how much stronger I feel and how much more flexible Ive already become. I can actually hold a plank for a whole minute (most days!), touch my toes, and occasionally get through an entire set of thigh work without stopping to rest!Thank you so much to the ladies at The Bar Method Tustin for providing a safe, effective, and fun place for your clients to come to take care of themselves.
I recently returned to Bar Method after 4 years of not taking the classes. I absolutely love the workout, it’s safe, challenging and I leave feeling stronger than when I walked in the room. Im happy to be back! I love Bar Method!
I bought the 5 class deal from Groupon and my overall experience with Bar Merhod Tustin was great! I actually belong to another studio that I go during the work week but decided to try out the Tustin studio for the weekends since I live in the area. The studio itself was clean and spacious. All the staff members were accommodating and the instructors were all so nice. I had such a good experience that I ended up buying the 10 class package deal during Black Friday. Looking forward to returning soon
Excellent exercise!! Love it!!😍😍Its been almost a year and I can tell you, my body has change. I am more flexible and strong.
Bar Method is my absolute favorite workout! I have tried other barre type classes and The Bar Method is the only one that has knowledgeable instructors who personally correct you to ensure you dont get hurt. Rather than flailing around like other barre classes, The Bar Method targets each major muscle group in controlled small movements that burn out the muscle. You walk out feeling rejuvenated, worked and ready for the day! My favorite thing about The Bar Method in Tustin are the friendly teachers/staff that greet you by name as you walk in the door. The environment is welcoming, friendly, and you are always greeted with a smile. I cant say enough how much I love The Bar Method in Tustin!!!
Great Studio and just the best instructors! Five stars
This is a great full body workout, but I especially love how my legs shake during every class. Janet is awesome!
Ive taken barre classes at a handful of different studios, but Ive been very impressed by every instructor at The Bar Method Tustin. I appreciate the way they adjust my moves so Im not injuring myself as well as the gentle pushing/encouraging to help me go above and beyond what I think Im capable of. Everyone is so friendly, the facility is beautiful, and they have great class times for someone who works M-F, 8:00-5:00!
Just finished my first month and I love the class and plan to sign up for more. All the instructors are great and very knowledgeable and encouraging!
I love the Bar Method @Tustin where I go there as frequent as I can since I live in Westlake Village. I had my 200 and 300 hour yoga training at Yogaworks. Yet I like the different integrated styles applied at Bar Method which gives me the best overall body exercises and maintain my body figure line.
Very friendly and warm all the time! Loved the staff and facilities, plus a great location.
Instructors are really precise with form and joint injury prevention. Very strong leg and seat workout!
Bar Method Tustin is not your usual Bar class : its a community, welcoming everyone and tailormaking their pa pages based on your needs and situation. The instructors are paying attention to your posture which surprises me, in a good way . Because we all know wrong posture over time can cause more damage than good . The timing of the classes are great and it fits every schedule . I came across this studio through Groupon after trying a few in Irvine and I cant be happier !
Bar Method Tustin has changed the way I want to look and feel. The staff is so encouraging and helpful. I just completed my 100d class and from the time I started to now I feel much stronger and confident. I recommend anyone should try bar once, I promise you, you will get hooked. Thank You to the staff at Bar Method Tustin for helping me feel better about myself. xoxoxoxoxo
Awesome work out. The teachers are great Lisa is my favorite.
Very friendly staff and instructors, and a variety of class times to choose from! Great workout.
Amazing Bar Method location, friendly instructors and owner.
