Vancouver fitness pick: The Bar Method

By Jennie Jin

We feel a bit of ballet mania in the air--maybe it’s just our excitement for Black Swan. In Vancouver, we can feed our obsession at the first Canadian location of U.S. fitness studio The Bar Method (837 Beatty Street, 604-681-6188, vancouver.barmethod.com). The studio features an hour-long workout that mixes Pilates, yoga, and ballet, which strengthens core muscles while toning and elongating isolated muscle groups through held poses and minimal movement. Fans claim longer, leaner definition and the development of what the New York Times calls “Bar Butt.” Owner Carolyn Williams’ second-floor space boasts two bright studios, modern wood finishings with plush cream-colored carpets, and a spa-like changing area equipped with organic body products. Psst: did we mention Drew Barrymore and Denise Richards are both fans of The Bar Method? New clients receive a 30-day unlimited pass for $100.
