I also felt that in the round back ab section I was working my hip flexors more than my abs.Sam @ Mom at the Barrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704352221970570240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023223824562915750.post-76483949376773489812011-05-20T06:16:19.214-07:002011-05-20T06:16:19.214-07:00I did not enjoy my Bar Method experience. I found ...I did not enjoy my Bar Method experience. I found it to be an extremely watered down version of the other barre classes. Only doing 3 arm exercises bored me and didn't work all the muscles I like to hit. The slow pace and the instruction not to take our elbows off the floor during the curl made it all seem too easy. I left wishing I could do another workout for the day. It also bothered me that they charge more than the other barre studios but offered (at the time) just one class at just one studio.Dorihttp://dorishinyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023223824562915750.post-53225304394161787982011-05-13T10:16:15.249-07:002011-05-13T10:16:15.249-07:00Amber-I think there is only one level at the NYC B...Amber-I think there is only one level at the NYC Bar Method. Maybe a level 2 would be more challenging? Who knows. I still have to take a Core Fusion class. I will take a few classes, hopefully including their new bootcamp class this summer for sure!Sam @ Mom at the Barrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704352221970570240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023223824562915750.post-89167651491408930282011-05-11T09:15:51.196-07:002011-05-11T09:15:51.196-07:00Great review!

However, the lack of varation is the one thing that did me in - there was only one class and that was it. I have heard there is a Level 2 class now and I am super curious about it, but obviously not that curious since I haven't done anything about it.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387210092196506290noreply@blogger.com
