Whitney has led an active lifestyle and participated in year-round athletics from a very young age; from swimming to soccer and crew, she was always on the move. Always looking for the next challenge, Whitney discovered the Bar Method while living in San Francisco in 2006 and achieved a more advanced level of fitness than she thought possible.

After her very first class, Whitney was convinced the Bar Method was everything she had been searching for. She was struck by the rare combination of intensity and calmness The Bar Method offers. The challenging one-hour classes provided the ideal stress-relief for her careers through the years as an investment consultant and editor. After more than a year of taking class at least five days a week she trained to be an instructor under The Bar Method founder, Burr Leonard.

Whitney’s love for teaching The Bar Method pushed her to teach the early morning classes before work, and her dedication as a student led her back to the studio to take class after work-hours. It became clear that her true passion was in a studio lined with ballet bars and mirrors, and now you can find Whitney at her Newport Beach studio that she co-owns and operates.

Thanks to The Bar Method, Whitney is stronger and more flexible than ever before. No exercise program has come close to producing the results Whitney has seen in her physical fitness, making her a steadfast follower and leader for many years to come.
