What is Barre? 

Exercise your way to a better sex life- Lotte Berk

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.

Great, now I know the history of Barre but what IS Barre Fitness?

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.
