The Bar Method

It’s the first day of spring! And we hit the jack pot of having a beautiful day! Agatha took Bar Move at 7am and then spent the morning following the sun rays around the studio. What do you have planned this weekend - after you take barre of course! . . . #rescuedogsofinstagram #sunseeker #firstdayofspring #inlikealionoutlikealamb #studiodog #ourmascot #ilovebarre #ilovebarrefitness #barreworkout #wexfordpa #barmethod #barmethodwexford

Dare we say spring has sprung? Today marks the first day of a new season and we're going all in on spring cleaningfrom our houses to our habits.

Look who stopped by the studio today ! Thank you @reprobmercuri for taking the time to talk with studio owner @mandycsoninsta. This is a tough time for fitness and fitness owners so it matters when our representatives listen This means advocacy works! If you haven’t yet, call your representatives at the state and federal level and say, Please help save our fitness studios so that they can be here for us after the pandemic is over. My mental and physical health need i...t. And if you already called, thank you! They are listening . . . #gymsact #togetherwerise #saveourstudios #advocate #advocacy #advocacymatters #wexfordpa #barmethod #barmethodwexford #ihrsa

Whatever you encounter today, in or out of class, we want you to repeat these words from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "I am experienced enough to do this. I am knowledgeable enough to do this. I am prepared enough to do this. I am mature enough to do this.... I am brave enough to do this." Photo Credit: The Bar Method Honolulu

Pennsylvania mandates everyone must wear a face covering when indoors, irrespective of physical distance. In accordance with the mask mandate and to keep our entire community safe , everyone at The Bar Method takes class in a mask. Unsure of what that feels like? Listen to what Club Bar member @randisenchur has to say about taking class in her mask!... What makes barre so different than other exercises when it comes to masking while working out? Barre is a low impact exercise paired with high intensity intervals with a STRONG emphasis on controlled breathing. So what’s this really mean? You’ll work so hard your muscles shake but you won’t lose your breath. Still skeptical?

Saturday night dinner... in? Do you know that instructor @melissa._._.larrick loves to cook? And she’s instilling that love of both cooking AND eating with her twins. Keep reading to see what got these littles to happily eat family dinner. Okay, without forks but, In Italy, children are taught from a very young age to twirl a few strands of pasta around a fork and eat it without slurping. We are still working on that skill! Recipe for spaghetti with peppers, parmigiano... and basil Makes 4 to 6 1/4 cup of olive oil * 4 red peppers, sliced into thin strips Pinch of crushed red peppers Salt 2 cloves of garlic, minced 12 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips 1/3 cup freshly gratedParmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano 1 pound of pasta 1. In a pan large enough to hold the cooked pasta, heat oil over medium heat. Add the peppers, red pepper flakes and salt. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Stir in garlic, cover and cook about 10 more minutes or until peppers are tender. Remove from heat and stir in basil. 3. While peppers are cooking, cook the pasta. Save some of the pasta cooking water. Drain pasta and add pasta to the pepper pan. 4. Cook over medium heat, stirring the pasta and peppers constantly for about 1 minute. Add a little of the reserve water, add cheese and toss. *We are a spicy, food loving family, and I mix regular EVOO and the pepper infused EVOO for a little extra spice.
