From the reviews
I had a fantastic experience at the Bar Method today. Although there was a mix-up with my reservation (i.e. I didn’t make one), the owner, who was working the front desk, was incredibly kind and accommodating, allowing me to join the class despite the oversight.
I was long mourning the loss of my former Bar Method location, Bar Method Silver Lake - and I just want to say - Bar Method Pasadena has me back in love with barre again! The instructors are so positive, uplifting, upbeat - and the space has such an inclusive spirit.
I LOVE BAR METHOD PASADENA. Listen… I’m not a fan of gyms and exercise type spaces. Tried another barre studio but ehhh. Then I came here and I loved it. Beautiful studio loft, calm, and welcoming environment (including complimentary toiletries). Staff are so kind and helpful.
This place rules! All of the staff and instructors are fun, kind and informative. Since I started at the studio, I feel at home and part of the family. I used to be a bar fly and now I am addicted to Pasadena Bar Method. I’m challenged by the workout and have fun in the classes. I’m in great shape!
Teacher training at The Bar Method Pasadena
The Bar Method Pasadena comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at The Bar Method Pasadena
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
