The Bar Method Oakland - Lakeshore

I love the Bar Method! Both the instructors and clients at this studio on Lakeshore are so friendly, welcoming and chill. This is a serious exercise studio, but doesn’t have the pretense or uptight vibes of many I have frequented. I appreciate how approachable, supportive and down to earth everyone is. I have been a member for about 2 years and am truly addicted. I have never felt stronger. My chronic lower back pain has been eliminated by the research-backed, whole body workouts. I love the different formats and highly recommend this workout. Check it out if you’re new to exercise, bored with your routine, recovering from an injury or just wanting some cross training to improve your overall fitness.

I had a lovely experience at this studio today! The instructor and front staff were warm and friendly and the studio was very clean. Went in for the cardio class and came out feeling rejuvenated. Thanks Bar Method Oakland!

My favorite workout method and my favorite studio. Been coming here for years, and everyone I take a break, I end up returning because there’s no better workout for me. Incredibly uplifting studio environment, fantastic instructors, and a great group of folks who attend!

Bar Method Oakland ... what to say other than this place is the absolute best and Bar has changed my body and my life. I highly recommend this for any and everyone whether you are looking for weight loss, stress reduction, flexibility -- there are classes for everyone and age is out the window here. And the people that work here are simply amazing -- kind, caring and always positive.

LOVE MY BAR METHOD in Oakland. I have been a member since 2015 and this workout is by far the BEST full body work out, out there. I am 59 and still strong and flexible
to chase after my soon to be 3 grandsons and live a very full and busy life. Come join US!

Love Bar Method! I really didn't think this type of workout would be right for me but that's because I had a totally skewed view of what it entailed. This low impact workout is exactly what I wanted and need. I love that there are modifications for every potential injury you may have- and I've had several! So I feel safe while doing every exercise and don't feel like I'm compromising my workout or body. Scheduled classes hold me accountable and the various class times are great and work perfectly with my busy schedule. Different style classes everyday and different exercises in each class so it never gets boring or repetitive! Everyone is also incredibly kind- the instructors, front desk crew, and all my Bar classmates!

If you want clear and complete instructions, targeted muscle (total body) workout and burn, want to discover muscles you never knew you had, want to be corrected on the right and safe form, then this is the right place for you! Great energy at this barMethod Oakland. Great instructors, with encouraging attitude. And, if you keep at it, you'll see results, especially butt tone up and shape up!

I love this studio. The instructors are so fun and they really make you work! They play close attention to each of their clients. This is the third Bar Method studio I've been to, but the first time I've been corrected on some positioning and have never felt better! Thanks Audrey and Chelsea for welcoming me into the studio :)

The Bar Method Oakland is OPEN and it is fabulous! If you want to get strong and be surrounded by an amazing and diverse community of clients and teachers, this is your spot. Bar Method is the original barre class, and you will be challenged but also supported. All levels are welcome - this is one of my favorite parts of Bar Method classes. You can be the strongest in the room or just getting started, but everyone's energy is positive and encouraging and focused on making the most of class. The teachers are the best of the best, there are a variety of classes offered and most importantly it's FUN!

I have been going to Bar Method Lakeshore for over 9 years and the staff, instructors and owners are committed to providing a workout community that is a place of belonging and inclusion for any one looking to tone the best parts of their bodies and have fun at the same time. Coming regularly is how you see results, and the workouts differ each day and by each instructor so there is never a dull moment!

I've been going to Bar for the last 8 years -- 3 of them at Bar Method Marina, and the last 5 here at Bar Method Oakland. I love everything about this studio, from the natural light that floods the main workout room to the wonderful instructors who are about as down-to-earth and friendly as they can be, and so good at what they do. I can't imagine going to any other exercise studio. Studio owners Audrey & Chelsea have created an awesome little oasis of strong women getting stronger. Highly recommend.

I'm so glad that I checked out this studio several years ago. I really like the instructors, cleanliness of the place, and how good I feel when class is over. I also like how I feel so strong when I am consistent with the classes. This workout makes me smile. I like the challenges they organize; they keep me motivated to return to class over and over again. Thanks for the workout every time.

I LOVE BAR!!!!! I have been attending for about 16 months, during which time I have seen my body become significantly stronger. My arms are quite muscular, as is my back. And my bum has lifted significantly! I am grateful for the changes in my body, but Bar is so much more. The teachers and staff are nothing but encouraging and kind. The music is upbeat and energizing. The facility is beautiful. And I love the sense of community.

The Oakland Bar Method studio is amazing! The staff and instructors are so friendly and welcoming, and I love the studio space and overall amenities. Going to any gym or studio can be very intimidating, but I’ve never felt out of place here. It’s a challenging and effective workout.

I got a giftcard to the Bar Method & am having a great time working out here. My legs have gotten much stronger, & I am seeing definition. Though smaller than the Walnut Creek childcare room, my 2 year old really liked the Oakland one. There is a clean feel about the place & I feel comfortable using the lockers. Though the classes have us do small repetitive movements that might not look like much, I often shake through the exercises and know I am building strength. The class incorporates many stretches which help my body feel balanced throughout the day.

The Bar Method Oakland is great! The instructors are fantastic, really focus on your form and always push you to work harder and smarter. The classes are challenging, but low impact, and I’ve seen great results in just a few short months.

Very professional studio, with well-trained instructors. It's great to have a focused, fun all-over workout that I can do 4 times a week. Music helps with the motivation. Good group of people in the class and open atmosphere--beginners and experienced people in the Mixed class, with everyone working out at their own level.

My entire adult life I was trying to follow an exercise regimen unsuccessfully. Finally, when Bar Method opened close to my house my daughter gave me a gift membership and I was hooked! I have been going six days a week religiously for almost 4 years now! The routine can be done by anyone and an hours time you get a full body workout. The teachers are wonderful and the studio is stylish with well outfitted locker rooms. If you’ve been trying to figure out a way to exercise on a regular basis you should definitely try this!

Let it be known that I am not a workout type of person, yet The Bar Method has changed that about me. I have tried a lot of different avenues to fulfill the need to keep my body active and healthy but frankly, every one has been a struggle to commit to.

The Bar Method is different for me. I love the full body exercises, I love how strong I have become in a relatively short time, I love the way I feel, and I love the community. In three months, people began asking me what I was doing because my body was changing, I was losing inches and looking stronger. My clothes were fitting better or, heck, AGAIN after two years.

I was intimidated about going because of past experiences at gyms and studios, but the staff and members of the Oakland studio are amazing! They treat everyone with respect, friendliness, and foster a warm, safe community.

It has been nine months now and I still want to go, am still being challenged physically, and have finally found an exercise that I am disappointed when I can't go.

Tried this out through a Groupon 3.5 years ago and the rest is history. So blessed to be a part of this exercise community. I love the owners and staff. I'm not the most flexible or graceful person in the world and I don't have a beach body, yet, I have never felt judged or uncomfortable about it once. I come back because I see my flexibility and strength improving, and my muscles are more tone! Each person is encouraged to workout at her or his (yes there are some great fellas who come too) abilities. I have shoulder, hip, and foot sensitivities- and the staff are so helpful in showing me how to modify the exercises to keep me from injury and able to come back the next day. That's what sets this barre studio apart- I have not heard of other barre franchises who have a PT consulting the teachers to help ensure the exercise positions are safe for the body. During the partial shutdown recently- I made lemonade out of the situation and went to class every day. If you're on the fence- come check Bar Method out!
