• an hour that makes your muscles step up to the plate of primo body-shaping and  leaves your muscles aquiver

Then you need look no further. 

Instant appeal

It was at a chance meeting-over-coffee with a friend in Fall 2001 that Cindy Root, a recent arrival in San Francisco from her native Philadelphia, first heard about the Bar Method.  Intrigued, she popped into Burr Leonard's San Francisco Bar Method studio - and never looked back.

Trained personally by Bar Method founder Burr Leonard herself, Root carried on the signature Bar Method fitness and body-shaping tradition by establishing the Bar Mehod Marin just north of the city by the bay.

Since then, she has grown a solid customer base and a field of talented instructors to meet the demand.  At the same time, with her two studios at the Marin location along with several classes daily, students are insured the powerful attention to individual skill and detail that is signature Bar Method.

Individualized instruction - no matter what level

"Bar Method is so effective - you feel and see results so quickly, in just 3 - 5 workouts a week.  And all levels can participate.  You don't have to be in shape to start, and  you can't help but transform your body! My only regret was not starting sooner!  It's challenging, but doable."

says Root, a akilled and enhusiastic, friendly, highly approachable instructor.  Who as of this writing is also 6 months pregnant and due to her Bar Method workous has maintained lovely posture, solid strength, and shape. 

Award winning

This year Root's Bar Method Marin was annointed 2009 Editor's Choice by Marin Magazine.
