The Bar Method

Calling all fitness fanatics! A new fitness studio opened its doors in Yaletown on Oct 23. If you’re tired of lugging weights around or sish-sash-sashaying your way around the Seawall, The Bar Method might be just what you’re looking for to spice up your fall workout regime.

What is it? Here’s an excerpt from what I found in my inbox the other day:

The Bar Method integrates the fat burning format of interval training, the muscle shaping technique of isometrics, the elongating principles of dance conditioning, and the science of physical therapy to create a revolutionary new workout that quickly and safely reshapes your entire body. It sculpts the physique including carved muscles, lifted seats, flatter abs, highly defined arms, and not only greater but elongated muscle mass. Linking muscle mass to good health and longevity, especially in its propensity to fight cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, has become one of today’s key fitness trends just as The Bar Method becomes a significant player on the national stage.

So, in a nutshell, you are going to dance your ass off.

If you end up giving it a try, let me know what you think.
