Yet another offshoot of the Lotte Berk method, PopPhysique was founded by a former ballet dancer, Jennifer Williams and her husband Deric.  The first studio was in Silver Lake which is a perfect fit for this brand.

 Their studios have a cool, hip look and they market to a younger clientele.  This is obvious in their advertising and choice of music.  The average age of the students in class with me was late 20's.

Pros:  The studio I attended was very light and bright .  I loved the color scheme as well.  I got a Groupon deal which made it very affordable.  (This studio was in Santa Monica and has since closed and become Barre Works)

Cons:  The class seemed more thrown together than at other barre studios that I have attended.  I also did not see many corrections given or hear detailed instructions.  

Personal opinion:  As a former trainer of teachers, I would like to see more attention to details all around.  My teacher gave very little corrections to students who I knew where not all doing the exercises correctly.  Again, these students were young so the chance of injury is not as great.  If you haven’t tried a barre class and can get a deal, it is worth it to see if Barre classes may be for you.  Otherwise, I would try Physique 57 or Bar Method as they are very strict in their teacher trainings.
