Raising the Bar - Online; The Bar Method® Introduces Bar Online
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2014 -- This month, the Bar Method, the gold standard for bar-based fitness workouts with close to 80 studios in the U.S. and Canada, takes its revolutionary, body-transforming workout worldwide by launching affordable Bar Method classes online. For the first time, students everywhere can easily take Bar Method classes taught by its most popular and dynamic teachers. Bar Online is uniquely positioned to bring the Bar Method to people who don’t live near a Bar Method studio, are traveling, have busy lives or for some reason can’t get to a Bar Method studio.
The Bar Online library launched with 13 full Bar Method classes, to be followed by 11 more this year, and hundreds more in the years to come. Each class features the Bar Method’s unparalleled focus on safety and easy-to-follow instruction while giving users an entertaining and uplifting experience that will inspire them to persevere and achieve their fitness goals. Online users will especially fall in love with the teacher’s unique and fun personalities.
The Bar Method® workout transforms its students’ bodies by combining the principles of isometrics, dance conditioning, interval training, physical therapy, and cutting edge learning techniques. It is the only bar workout that was designed under the guidance of physical therapists to ensure joint safety. Its non-impact exercises target all major muscle groups and increase physical grace. The result is a recognizable “Bar Method body” that features sculpted arms, flat abs, a lifted seat, firm thighs and a dancer’s graceful, lifted posture. The Bar Method is a fitness sensation in Hollywood, drawing a celebrity clientele that includes Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell and Colby Smulders.
Bar Online from Bar Method founder, CEO and creator Burr Leonard says, “What I love about Bar Online classes is that they offer students rock-solid classes while playfully interacting with their students, including the student online. In our studios we are all about reaching out to our students. I’m thrilled that we were able to achieve a similar connection to the students attending class virtually.”
Bar Online is ideal for students of all fitness levels: students can choose from a menu of beginner, mixed, accelerated and prenatal workouts. In addition, six previously released Bar Method DVDs are accessible on Bar Online. Membership levels range from a 24-hour pass to monthly, with prices starting at just $5.
The teachers featured in each of the videos are actual certified instructors that currently lead classes in Bar Method studios located throughout the United States and Canada. And many of the teachers are owners of the studios themselves. Bar Method teachers receive extensive training in healthy patterns of movement and are able to assist with modifications to accommodate all types of client needs, including variations for pregnant women.
Each video provides users with a description of the Bar Method teacher and also what equipment they will need to complete the workout successfully. Students can use a portable ballet bar, a chair or even a kitchen counter. Most other equipment they might need is easy to come by at home or in a hotel room, such as a towel or a couch seat cushion.
