Burr Leonard, Founder of The Bar Method and author of the
popular Bar Method Exercise Blog,
announced the launch of The Bar Method program at Rancho La Puerta, the famous
destination spa located near San Diego. The Bar Method, named "Best Workout" in
every major city where it operates, leads the new genre of ballet bar
exercise systems sweeping America today.
Rancho La Puerta will start its The Bar Method
Intensive Program the week of February 20, 2010. Burr Leonard, along
with Bar Method Chicago exercise studio co-owner Catherine Wendel, will
officiate during this inaugural week. Bar Method devotees will join with
The Ranch's clientele for Bar Method classes as well as ongoing activities
such as hiking, yoga, Pilates, HydroFit, and circuit training.
The Bar Method has expanded rapidly since it opened its flagship studio in
San Francisco in 2001. Fueled by the enthusiasm of its students, strong
attendance, and excellent press, it has spawned more than 30 thriving exercise studios in and
around San Francisco, LA, San Diego, Boulder, New York, Chicago, and New
Jersey, most of them franchises. New studios in Vancouver, Dallas, Miami
and St. Louis will open later in 2010.
