I absolutely love Bar Method Campbell! The studio is always spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and has some of the most friendly and engaging instructors. From the moment I walk in, I feel welcomed and supported. The owner, Hafiza, goes above and beyond, not only is she knowledgeable and approachable, but she also plans fun community outings that bring the studio together. It truly feels like more than just a workout class; it’s a community. One of my favorite instructors is Cassie. She’s incredibly friendly, always cracks the best jokes, and has a way of keeping the class fun while motivating you to push yourself. Her energy is contagious, and she makes every class something to look forward to! If you’re looking for a class that’s under an hour, challenges every part of your body, and offers a nonjudgmental, inclusive atmosphere, this is the place. The small, targeted movements pack a serious punch—I’ve felt myself get stronger with every visit! Highly recommend!

Absolutely disappointed in their customer service. I left home to attend a class for the first time at this location after having an amazing experience in Fremont. The traffic got worse as I was on the road and my predicted time went up so I was late to the class. I had two friends I drove 40+ minutes to meet and attend this class with - they let the instructor know I’d be late. I knew I needed to put my things away quickly and grab some weights once I got there. There was plenty of room in the studio for me but the instructor Cassie said I couldn’t come in because I may injure myself without a warm up. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard and she was unwilling to compromise or allow me to warm up and catch up. The website says anyone participating voluntary acknowledges and assumes all risk associated with the use of the service so I think it’s an embarrassing excuse that she would be worried about them assuming risk. I also don’t see on their terms of service or FAQ anything about not participating past a certain time. I got there with plenty of time to get an excellent workout in and she refused me entry into the studio to do so. I tried this class first via ClassPass in Fremont and told the ladies there that it was the best class I tried out of all the types. After this experience I don’t know if I want to support a business with such poor customer service and lack of decency despite me explaining my situation.

Bar Method is such a great full body workout. The instructors are friendly, helpful, and not over the top. They make it easy to show up and stay consistent. The workouts are effective but not exhausting—you don’t leave dripping in sweat, which makes it easy to go straight to work or grab coffee after. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistent, feel-good fitness routine with a great community.

Over the years, I've tried countless workout styles, but Bar Method is the one that truly stuck—and for good reason. It's the only workout I’ve consistently returned to week after week. Every class offers a slightly different experience, keeping things fresh and engaging, but at its core, you’re always getting a comprehensive full-body workout that leaves you feeling strong and accomplished. Now, don’t be fooled by the graceful movements—this workout packs a punch! You might not be drenched in sweat (unless you're in a Bar Strength or Bar Cardio class), but you will feel it the next day—in the best way possible. That soreness is proof that you're building endurance, and stability from the inside out. One of the things I really appreciate about Bar Method is that there’s no fancy machinery involved. Everything is done using your own body weight, with a focus on precise, controlled movements that build strength, improve posture, and increase flexibility. Occasionally, you'll use simple props like a ball, hand weights, or sliders to deepen the challenge, but it never feels overwhelming or complicated. It’s minimalist in the best way—just you, your body, and some expert guidance. The Studio 💖 Let’s talk about the Campbell studio, because it’s a gem. The space is just the right size—not too big, not too small—and it's beautifully decorated, giving major chic-boutique vibes the moment you step into the lobby. The studio is always clean, especially the carpeted workout area, and there’s plenty of parking, which is an underrated but very appreciated bonus. What really sets this studio apart, though, is the community. From day one, I felt so welcomed. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraging. If you ever have questions or need modifications, they’re more than happy to help. I especially appreciate how attentive and caring they are—when I was dealing with some lower back tightness, Hafiza (the owner and one of the instructors) personally spent time after class giving me stretches and tips to help me recover safely. That kind of support goes a long way. If you're new to Bar Method, don’t be nervous if instructors adjust your form during class. It’s part of what makes the method so effective and safe—form is everything. Even after all this time, I still get corrections (and I welcome them!). Every day your body feels a little different, and the instructors help you make the most of where you're at. Plus, there are always modifications available for different levels, and ways to challenge yourself as you grow stronger—whether that’s using heavier weights or signing up for a more intense class. Bonus Perks 🎉 One of the things I love most about being a member is that it’s not just about the workout—it’s also about staying motivated and having fun. The studio runs seasonal challenges throughout the year that encourage you to set goals, stay consistent, and push yourself a little more. And yes, there are prizes! From the beloved Bar Method socks (which are both cute and grippy!) to other fun giveaways, it adds that extra boost of motivation and camaraderie among members. Community Vibes 💛 Another thing that makes Bar Method Campbell feel so special is how they foster a true sense of community beyond the studio walls. There are often impromptu brunch outings after class, where you get to bond with fellow members over lattes and waffles. It’s those little unexpected surprises that make the experience feel personal, thoughtful, and connected.

I’ve been attending this barre studio for about a month now, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best fitness experiences I’ve ever had. The instructors are absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable, encouraging, and personable. They create a welcoming atmosphere where you feel supported at every level, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced in your practice. What really stands out is how much this studio has helped me improve my strength. The classes are thoughtfully designed to target key muscle groups, and I’ve noticed a significant increase in my overall strength and endurance. The instructors provide clear, detailed guidance to ensure proper form, and they always take the time to offer modifications when needed. Overall, I feel stronger, more confident, and healthier thanks to this studio. It’s a great balance of challenging workouts and a supportive community. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to build strength in a positive, motivating environment!
