HOLIDAY BLOG

As 2009 comes to an end, I look back at the year and feel happy with the Bar Method’s growth. We added 12 studios and became 
burr leonard
international, both with a new franchisee in Vancouver and an 
exciting new affiliation with Rancho La Puerta, the luxury destination spa in Mexico where our students will receive a discounted rate to relax and regenerate with all the fitness and spa activities there while also taking Bar Method classes taught by our teachers.  Here I am at this year's Bar Method San Francisco Marina Holiday Party with my assistant Dannah and my boyfriend Michael. 

On January 23rd of this past year, I started my weekly blog, which has become a personally rewarding experience.  It has given me an opportunity to express my thoughts on the Bar Method as well as to learn and share information about emerging findings in the exercise field. I’ve explored subjects ranging from exercise physiology and pre-natal classes to posture and the mental side of exercise, among other subjects. I want to express my appreciation to those of you who commented on the blog by sharing some of what you wrote:
 
…your workout feels so much more satisfying when you've really put some effort into it. Whilst it makes me incredibly tired on one level, I feel really relaxed and the next day have twice asa much energy.

…I tried on a pair of pants I wore in the winter and they slid off my body. I knew I lost inches but had no idea how much my body had changed…

…I think the Bar Method is the work of genius.

...Great post. I'm excited to try even harder now.

Greetings and happy holidays! I was wondering if there would be any new Bar Method DVDs coming out in 2010. I currently alternate between all four Bar Method DVDs, but would really love to have some new DVDs to incorporate into my routine. I live in Hartford, CT and the Bar Method studio in Wilton is just too far of a commute for me on a daily basis. 
 
 
 
Your program has changed my life and my body and I can't thank you enough for creating such a wonderful exercise system for my body. I am 42 years old and I have NEVER looked better thanks to the Bar Method. 
 
 
 
Happy 2010!!!!!

Now if you'd just consider starting a forum for all of us who live in rural areas far from any studio and are dependent on the DVDs. (and new DVDs would be wonderful) It would be great to have a place to ask questions and get form tips. I do love the blog though and look forward to it every week.

Thank you! Bar Method has been the only exercise program I have stuck with religiously and actually look forward to each class! Even on days where my work life "below the belt" I could not wait to get to class. It would never have happened when I only had a gym membership!  
 
I am only a few months into the program but loving every minute of it! Thank you to all the Bar Method instructors and staff. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Burr, Thanks for including my quote! I love your blog and DVDS because of the information and results. I continue to see results by using them 5X per week and can't wait to see what 2010 brings! Susan

Is there anywhere you can certify to teach the bar method. I am a former dancer, and still teach. I would love to bring some classes to the local gym but can't find a place to certify.

Hi Kim,  
We don't certify Bar Method teachers. We train new teachers when we need more in our studios but do not train them to work outside of our facilities.  
Best,  
Mimi

I love my DVDS'. I would love to have additional ones for a little variety. Will you be creating new DVDS' in the near future. A studio is not accessible to me.

Hi Linda,  
We are looking around in Huntington Beach to find a good location. Otherwise, you can go to Newport Beach or Hermosa Beach, where there are currently studios.  
Best, Mimi
