The Bar Method Oakland - Lakeshore

Great workout, lovely studio, and I wish I had joined sooner! I must mention that the place is so clean, especially the locker room which is spotless & that is always a big win in my book.

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.

Unfortunately I couldn’t take a class here because the owners refused to accommodate my disability. They are a no shoes studio but because of a foot disability I need to wear special orthotics. I brought clean shoes that I wear inside only and explained my disability to them but they refused to accommodate me and I had to leave since I cannot otherwise preform the activities without pain. I’m disappointed because I was excited to take a class here.

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!

I love this studio! I’ve been taking classes for 4+ years at this studio and love how their attention to form and safety has made it possible for me to confidently workout throughout my pregnancies, as well as postpartum. Bar Method is always a challenging, efficient workout and yet also able to accommodate so many different stages of life and ability levels.
