orthopedic stretching also balance the method’s unique approach.
The
precision-oriented technique focuses mainly on small, isolated
movements within deeply held and challenging postures. BarreAmped
is proven to increase metabolism, burn fat, and lengthen tight
muscles.BarreAmped stresses the results
of lean thighs, lifted seat, flat abs, and toned arms. With

Created by international fitness celebrity
and former Lotte Berk Method instructor Suzanne Bowen, BarreAmped
is the result of more than 10 years of physiological study and
client observations by one of America’s top fitness talents.
Why
BarreAmped?
Most barre
techniques in America have their roots in Lotte Berk Method, which
was brought to America by Lydia Bach in 1970. Suzanne Bowen,
creator of BarreAmped, logged thousands of hours working at Lotte
Berk Method Studios in New York City under the direct tutelage of
Bach and other master level instructors.Her understanding of and passion
for Lotte Berk Method secured her role as star of Lotte Berk
Method’s DVD series.
A second
generation barre instructor, Bowen therefore created an undiluted
form of barre work with a strong focus on form in order to get the
true benefits of using classic barre techniques.BarreAmped is not taught with a
strong pelvic tuck which is classic to other barre exercise
methods.BarreAmped instead teaches the
student to focus control on the “Core Base”, which is the pelvic
floor muscles and lower abdominal wall in order to maintain torso
control and a neutral spine. BarreAmped is a modern interpretation
of a classic method, which shaped the NYC elite for years.
BarreAmped

level.Come experience a BarreAmped
