Classic Pilates Introduces BarreAmped(TM) Body Shaping Classes to Dallas

The Celebrities' Secret Workout Blends the Best of Lotte Berk Method, Pilates, Yoga and More. End Quote

Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) June 24, 2011 - While celebrities like Julia Roberts, Kelly Ripa, Kate Hudson and Heidi Klum flock to barre fitness classes in New York and Los Angeles, now those in the Dallas area will be able to experience their own body transformation with the arrival of BarreAmped™. Now being offered at Classic Pilates in Dallas, BarreAmped™ is a results-driven fitness regimen designed to produce the unbeatable results of personal training in a small class setting.

Created by international fitness celebrity, DVD star 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.

"Since my days teaching at the original Lotte Berk Method studios in New York City, it seems barre classes have taken the fitness world by storm," said Bowen. "My BarreAmped™ method is unique because of the emphasis on the Powerhouse, or core. It is founded in classical technique with safe but intense moves that produce extreme results. It has heart. I am so thrilled that Classic Pilatesl will be sharing it with Dallas."

Classic Pilates will welcome Bowen to Dallas on July 22-24 for a BarreAmped certification, as part of its grand opening celebration. Bowen will also hold classes open to the general public. For more information on the program, please call Classic Pilates at (214) 520-0386. In addition, Classic Pilates will be offering complementary Pilates and BarreAmped classes from July 18-23.

The studio's co-owners, Rachael Lieck Bryce and Joann Cuccurullo, are excited to be bringing high quality barre fitness to Texas.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Suzanne in bringing BarreAmped™ to Dallas," said Bryce. "We think this results-driven, classically based barre workout will pair with classical Pilates like wine with chocolate. BarreAmped™ classes will supplement Classic Pilates offerings of Pilates mat classes and private sessions."

Barre workouts are the hottest trend in fitness. Largely derived from the Lotte Berk Method, they're known to produce dramatic weight loss and sculpted muscles with the added mental benefits of yoga. They're shown to increase metabolism and flexibility while burning fat. The BarreAmped™ classes fuse techniques from modern and classical dance, Pilates, yoga, and deep stretching to create isolated muscle movements in deep, challenging positions to achieve noticeable and reliable results.

Utilizing the ballet barre for proper positioning and execution of small, concentrated movements, the 55-minute BarreAmped™ class is suitable for women and men at all fitness levels. Small class sizes allow hands-on form correction by the instructor to maximize safety and results. While it is taught in a class format, BarreAmped™ is not a group fitness class, but personalized fitness instruction in a private group setting.

Classic Pilates is dedicated to upholding the standard of classical Pilates and empowering people to change their lives through movement. Classic Pilates is located at 3303 Lee Parkway, Suite 105 in Dallas' Uptown neighborhood.
