I want to give a big shout-out to The Bar Method-Pasadena. I have never felt so welcomed to an exercise studio! It's incredible how every instructor and administrator there learns your name and calls you by it. The instructors -- Madison, Anna, Tina, Eileen, Emily, Mason (hope I'm not forgetting anyone) -- are all superb, all focus on form and detail and offer individual challenges. I tried several exercise studios when I moved to Pasadena this spring -- yoga, pilates, hot yoga, etc. -- and Bar Method-Pasadena took the lead for me hands-down. I am so happy I joined!

I decided to try The Bar Method through ClassPass. I've never done a barre class before. But they were very welcoming! I really like that the class is on the smaller side. Mason was my instructor both times I've been so far. I like that they help you with your form. I'm not the most flexible so some of the stretches were a bit challenging but they have modifications. It was great workout even though I didn't sweat. The movements are small and very focused. Definitely a great workout to add to the mix.

I started Bar Method in 2020 and have loved it ever since! I have completed over 500 classes and the method really does work! It's a great workout that will effectively tone muscle and is safe. Additionally, the Pasadena studio offers so much class variety, flexibility in class times, and the staff is friendly and professional!

Bar method Pasadena is my happy place. If you haven't tried this workout, make it a priority & try it soon! The bar method family will make you feel welcome the minute you walk in! I'm still in awe and can't figure out how the instructors remember the names of their students! Talk about commitment and dedication. You won't regret going! Just do it.

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. Emily's class is a particular fave, but there are so many stellar instructors here who want you to feel your strongest and best. I know my butt is lifting with every tuck, and my legs are getting stronger with every shake ? 10/10 recommend!

A couple things: 1. This studio felt very anti-anything other than white. If you are a person of color, save your classpass points and do not come here. They will treat you like you've never worked out or done anything physical a day in your life: as if barre is only exclusive to white people. The micro-managing i received from the front desk lady and the instructor was ridiculous. It was 100 condescending. Yes, being the only person of color in these spaces is always ridiculous, but for the staff to enhance that as if we are less than or don't have any knowledge is INSANE. I have trained my whole adult life in barre, just because I don't look like everyone else does not mean i need to be talked to like a kindergartener. Do better. 2. Coming from a personal trainer and professional dancer, and someone who has studied Barre for a very long time, this should definitely be marketed as a beginner class. I did not sweat one lick -- super easy. I won't be going back, but everyone else enjoy :)

Beautiful studio, professional, fun and attentive instructors. Each class is slightly different, so it's not boring. It makes you sweat, work each muscle but not too much pressure on your joints. Love it and higly recommend to give a try!

So long overdue but I just love this place. I've been coming here for years The instructors are all so friendly, helpful and genuine. Seriously, all of them. Safety is a concern, meaning they'll give you modifications to protect your body. I like how this place isn't pretentious and everyone is welcome. Do not let the workout fool you. It IS a workout! You will feel and see results, but it may take some time. The actual studio space is great especially when the afternoon light comes in it is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Came in to try out a new work out studio this past weekend. I primarily do cardio and dumbbell training for strength, so barre is definitely a new experience! I was impressed by how helpful the instructor staff was in making hands-on adjustments. They went by the room to correct your posture very frequently. The instructors also help beginners (ie me!) set up and guide us along when we look lost. They also put in a lot of effort to knowing your name at the start of class so when they call out adjustments from the room, you know it's you! It feels like they have known you for so much longer than the class period! Definitely felt the burn and the shakes during the class.One thing to note is that they do not check vaccination status at this location, but masks are required. They also have wipes as well to sanitize your equipment. The studio space is fairly small, and it is carpeted. The class size is fairly large (I couldn't see the mirror most of the times). Lots of windows that air out the space and provides ample lighting. Free parking at any of the 90 min lots in Old Town.

Anna is amaaaazing! She gives great cues and modifications. I'm not in the best shape post COVID so I had to take a lot of breaks and she was so patient with me. They were also super kind at the front desk. I will say--the class is HARD if you're not in shape. Parking was a little annoying, but I parked down the street in a lot with 90 minutes of free parking.

CAUTION: This location does not currently (10/17/21) require COVID19 vaccinations. The space is fairly small, and the ceilings are not high. Sadly, we will stop coming until they start checking on vaccination records.The classes and teachers are great here.

Bar Method Pasadena is absolutely fantastic! Amazing, knowledgeable, and motivating instructors. Always a great workout that targets thighs, glutes, abs and arms -- it's a perfect and effective full-body workout. Even better, the instructors have created an enormously positive and inclusive community. Love them so much.
