Barre Fitness as we know it today was created by Lotte Berk in the 1950's after a back injury. Lotte was a German born modern ballet dancer and choreographer that moved to England during the 1930's due to the Nazi regime. She took elements from ballet, yoga, and physiotherapy, to create a program that she started teaching in the 1950's. She marketed is as a "way to improve your sex life" to women. She created a cult like following with celebrities and locals alike. Lydia Bach an avid follower brought Barre to the U.S in the 1970's. Where upbeat music was added and the sexual innuendos toned down. But the essence remained. To date Barre is one of the only forms of fitness created by a woman for women.

What is Barre?

My private Barre sessions are a full body workout that run 50-55 minutes and are built entirely around you. We start with a warm up, then move through upper body, legs, booty, and abs — with stretches sprinkled in after each section to keep you moving and feeling good. By the end, you'll feel like a strong badass ballerina, and I mean that. There's a ballet essence to everything we do, but let me be clear — this is not a dance class and zero dance experience is required. What a private session gives you that a group class can't is my undivided attention on your form, your goals, and your body. I'll meet you exactly where you are, whether that means modifying movements to make them more attainable or pushing you harder when you're ready for it. Every single thing we do in that session is intentional — and it's all for you.

What does Barre do for my body

Women lose up to 10% muscle mass every decade after 30.

Women lose 20% of bone density in the first 5-7 years post menopause. That is 1/5 of your skeletal strength.

Barre can help with incontinence issues in new mama's and peri/post menapausal women by up to 72%

If you want to build muscle (and you should) recovery days are a must! Schedule in days off.

and beating yourself up for it in the process.

I see you pouring your time and energy into every part of your life except taking care of YOU.

My private Barre sessions are designed for the woman who wants more — more attention, more refinement, more results. When you book a private with me, my focus is entirely on you. I'll fine-tune your form, target your specific goals, and push you at exactly the right pace. Whether you're completely new to Barre or looking to deepen your practice, a private session gives you the space to move without distraction, ask every question, and build the kind of mind-body connection that's hard to find anywhere else. It's Barre — but dialed in completely to you.
