I've been going to the Bar Method in Hermosa for seven years. The teachers are knowledgable and excellent; walking around correcting positions so you get the most out of the workout and don't injure yourself. I highly recommend for anyone looking to lengthen and strengthen their muscles without heavy cardio. I always feel stronger leaving class, even when I'm exhausted!

Absolutely love this studio! The teachers push you hard in the best way and are constantly correcting your form so you actually get the most out of every session. The results speak for themselves. And the location? Right at the beach with the most beautiful studio, brick walls and all. Honestly hard to beat. 10/10!

Loved every class I’ve taken so far. Very empowering teachers, and such a good vibe! I come in bloated and wake up the next morning snatched. I love the character of the studio, it’s really a treat to work out in a space with exposed brick. Carries the energy of a good ballet studio with great contemporary workout music playlists.

Addicted! It's been 15 years since I started at The Bar Method HB and well over 1,000 classes; it has been the Only workout that has consistently kept me out of back pain, my core super strong, and my posture upright. Having scoliosis, I've tried it all, however, Bar Method has given me back height! The instructors are all well trained and essential in keeping me accountable. Nothing as great!!
