The Bar Method, Visalia CA

I’ve been waiting for a barre studio in Visalia for years and so thankful it finally opened this year. I’ve done many different types of barre classes though this was my first experience with Bar Method. The studio is amazing, the teacher (Miwa) supportive, and the classes are always challenging. At first, you learn the technique and flow of class and before you know it you are 20 classes in doing push-ups on your toes. The other classmates are so supportive and fun - it’s such a great little community! If you’ve never done barre before, do yourself a huge favor and try out one class. Take whatever modifications you need. You’ll develop strong, lean muscles while protecting your joints so you can keep exercising for many years!

I had never tried Barre before but I knew I wanted to incorporate something different into my workout routine. When Bar Method-Visalia opened up I decided to sign up for the Founder’s membership, going into it blindly. But I love it! Miwa has created a very welcoming environment, kindly making corrections on your form throughout class. Would highly recommend!

A fun way to workout!

The studio owner/instructor provides such a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment to exercise. There are a few different class formats to explore varying between 45min to an hour. The classes involve a lot of low-impact, dynamic, and isometric movements. There’s some unique lingo to the learn, but once you catch on it’s easy to follow along. The instructors are really good at helping and adapting the moves to fit your needs. Great community to be a part of!

Miwa is a very attentive and challenging instructor. She always pushes you to do one more whether it’s a plank, push-up, or the dreaded pretzel—but your body will say thank you later. I always leave the class sweaty and feeing stronger. Classes are small so she is able to personalize there workout for your body and fix your form. It feels like a one on one session when you workout with her. Highly recommend if you want to challenge your body and take it to the next level!

I’ve taken two classes and I love it! The studio is beautiful and so is the owner and the instructors. They are so helpful and kind, and the workout is really fun but you'll definitely feel the burn! I’d also add that no matter your fitness level you should try it out, they are very welcoming!
