 What they said about Lotte Berk In the Past 

Hers is the most intense, effective form of exercise you can do – a cross between yoga and ballet that’s designed to strengthen and stretch the body.  Once you start, it almost becomes like a drug – you can’t stop… and you can just see the results, long lean legs and a high bottom

A body-sculpting fitness hybrid devised 40 years ago by former ballet dancer, the late Lotte Berk,.. known as the Rottweiler of the fitness industry.  Though the method has been modernized over the years, the underlying retro principles are still there.  Using a combination of low-impact strength training, dance, orthopaedic back exercises and yoga an hour long workout will really tone up and change your body shape

With Lotte Berk finding precisely the right starting position is the key to the whole thing.  A series of exacting movements to tone and strengthen the individual muscle groups the Lotte Berk method reaches parts that general body conditioning classes might fail to isolate

Michele Kirsch, Style Magazine, The Sunday Times

Lotte is the hardest thing I’ve ever done – save for the London Marathon.  Why? Because Lotte hurts – Like Hell.  The exercises which quite often seem like tiny postural corrections, are killers once you get going. … One New York jewellery designer gave me her take:  “ I’ve done every exercise regime known to man – everything bulked me up apart from Lotte, which slimmed and elongated me.”

 

Today: The Holy Grail of Barre and Functional Longevity

Today, as generic "barre" studios cover the high street, the conversation around the authentic Lotte Berk Technique focuses on its superior precision, core stability, and role as the original blueprint. 

 Modern clients and fitness journalists view it as the ultimate antidote to low-quality, generic gym trends. It is highly praised for protecting the body, healing the back, and building a dancer's posture without causing joint strain or bulk. 

Testimonials & Press Quotes:

“What many don’t realize is that every modern barre class is built directly on the foundation laid by Lotte Berk... This is the method that started it all.” 

The Barre Blog

 “The moves are reminiscent of Pilates, but with the added fun and flair of dance. It tones and hones without creating bulk or tension.”
