We’ve made it to the final week of January and I have one question for you: How’s that fitness resolution going? Don’t toss it to the wayside just yet, because I may have some #MondayMotivation for you.
So… let’s talk barre. The fitness technique has gained a popular reputation among women (and men, believe it or not), and studios are popping up like CVS Pharmacies. While there are several techniques to choose from, lets discuss The Bar Method. One of the OGs in the barre game.
Burr Leonard and her husband opened the first Bar Method studio in the Marina district of San Francisco in 2001. Leonard developed the technique after teaching the Lotte Berk method and noticing issues with clients’ knees, backs and shoulders. She teamed up with a physical therapist to rework those exercises for safe muscle sculpting.
Today there are over 100 Bar Method studios across the nation, and four of them are right in PDC’s Dallas-Fort Worth backyard! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be chatting with the owners and managers of these studios and learning fitness tips along the way.
First stop: The Bar Method – Park Cities!
Tune in next week for our Q&A with owner Lisa Hennings. Until then, check out this week’s schedule here and maybe get in on the action, yourself! After all… #NewYearsResolution 😉
