Just the right balance of challenging and helpful. The first few times will seem confusing (watch some YouTube to get the lingo) then it will click and you will love it!

Please be aware, their attendance policy does not allow for wiggle room if you are running late even just a few minutes. I Came to class right when it was supposed to start. Doors were already locked. I knocked on the door but no one answered. You cannot contact the studio on the phone, so there was no way to send a heads up to the studio that I will attend class, but that I would be there just when it closes its doors. I understand being prompt for class but I think a 5 minute grace period is not unreasonable because parking is a challenge and the studio is located on the second floor. Totally turned off by this!

Went here with my wife and absolutely loved the experience. The first time I did a Barre excercise was at this gym. Highly recommended!

I love this studio! The staff and other members are warm and welcoming and very inclusive. The work out is amazing too and you work all those small muscles you don’t even think about. I love all the personalized touches. I definitely recommend.

I love the Bar Method experience. It has helped me tone and build more core strength like no other type of workout.

Staff were super friendly but my instructor came over to bother me too much. She gave me too many needless corrections and would call me out over the mic. Not a way to ease someone into barre. And a lot of the corrections were questionable. For ex, it shouldn't matter what stance you are in when doing tricep kickbacks as long as you are isolating movement at the elbow joint so I was very shocked when she made me go into a stance wider than shoulder width as it made me less stable than what I was originally doing before. I'd like to think I know how important form is considering I am a certified strength & conditioning coach. Although I recognize that barre is different with different goals in mind so I guess I am just used to a weight training mindset.I've only tried barre and pilates classes recently, just never here. I just feel that because of that it wasn't a good first time for me. If it were someone else who has no experience in barre or fitness i feel for them as they probably wouldn't feel encouraged to come here because they would be corrected the entire time. I personally want to come to a workout class knowing that I am doing awesome and putting in the work, not that I'm doing everything wrong. I also didn't like the fact that she brought the class's attention to me being a new student. Other than that, I appreciate the location instructions along with studio policy being clear on website and in reminder email! I love that this studio has lockers and they provide the keys, and the changing area is great.

When I moved back home after decades of living away, I tried many sports exercise programs here. So glad I found The Bar Method 5 years ago! I've been coming 3 to 4 times a week - virtually during lockdown.Why? Well-trained instructors, evolving exercises, targeted program to strengthen and lengthen specific muscles, good energy and community, AC, comfortable studio.Now I finally have good upper body strength, more muscle endurance, and more stability around my "bad" knee.

Low intensity workout, lots of modifications for different skill sets, and an overall great community! The parking lot is easy to access, and when you arrive the staff welcome you in and show you around. Definitely worth a try if you've never done before!

The bar studio is my happy place. Elaina and team have created an inspired space and supportive community that have been my oasis through everything from pregnancy to pandemic to parenting.I originally discovered The Bar Method back in 2017. Barre is deceptively challenging, and I was quickly humbled by the workout. I remember grabbing heavy hand weights when I first walked into the barre studio, since I was accustomed to throwing around a lot of weight in CrossFit...and then wasn't even able to make it through warm up! Since that day, I religiously attended barre four times per week, and it became my sanity amidst the chaos of being a business owner, mom, boss, wife, etc.When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, the instructors were supportive, initially maintaining confidence while privately demonstrating modifications. I was blessed with an easy pregnancy, and I attribute a large part of that to barre keeping me disciplined and strong. I continued taking classes throughout my entire pregnancy until my daughter decided to make a quick entrance into the world...and I gave birth in the car on our way to the hospital! I again think the mental toughness that comes from getting through your third set of thigh work helped me through that amazing delivery.I'd highly encourage everyone to check out The Bar Method! It's a safe yet tough workout that really does help you stay healthy - both physically and mentally.

I haven't worked my body out in about 5 years. My balance has been off and my strength has lowered. I have been in for three classes, and I must say how warm and welcoming everyone is. I was a bit nervous to be judged, but this studio is the absolute opposite judgemental. I am sore, but I am ready for my next class. Thank you for being patient and kind to everyone. ?

I love bar method! I had no idea prior to coming here what it was lol my friend sent me the deal for $45 for 45 days unlimited so I said why not! Bar is birthed out of dance so if you're not privy to all that it feels weird at first, but you just have to trust the process lolAfter you purchase your classes you can then you download their mobile app. From there you can tap on the classes available that you want to attend. They have a late charge and make sure to be early because the shut the doors.The workouts are unlike anything I've experienced before lots of isolated muscle movements and dance like movements.I recommend if you want a class workout and to help build a little community.

1000 For those who know me well, you've probably heard me talk about the Bar Method. Growing up I was never passionate about fitness. The Bar Method changed all of that for me. Their format of low impact / high intensity classes quickly captured my interest, but the Honolulu studio's loving and nurturing community is what captured my heart. The classes are deceivingly challenging, both mentally and physically. I know I am a stronger woman today because of the Bar Method. Also, walking into a class you're welcomed with genuine smiles and laughter. There's definitely a sense of family here, something I love. Why do I share all this? Recently we celebrated my 1000th class. For the last 7 years the Bar Method has been home. When they notified me that I was nearing my 1000th class I was surprised and excited. I'm honored to be among some strong a** women with big hearts who are positively impacting the world around them. Come take a class and get to know my Bar Method fam.
