(Note from Mark: The below article was written for a website that offers education for trainers.  They approached me to talk about training dancers, and I obliged with this here article.  Although it’s written for trainers, I think most folks (especially dancers) can learn a thing or two by seeing how we approach dancers.  I also apologize, since I had to make it all professional and shit, it’s distinctly lacking in f bombs.  I hope you can fucking forgive me.)

And now for another installment of “this is what I think about this type of exercise class!”  Today’s review looks at the world of barre classes, which can probably be loosely defined as exercise classes based on the work and methodology of Lotte Berk.  Berk’s style of fitness glory was heavily influenced by her background as a dancer (hence the use of a ballet barre); it’s been described as a combination of pilates, hatha yoga, and resistance training.

At MFF, we get people healthy and hot.  We use the most progressive training and nutrition strategies in the industry to blow people’s damn minds with consistent, dramatic results.  This is super fun, cuz we like people, and we like hotness, and we like watching people achieve their first six-pack, or drop a dress size, or send pictures of themselves in a string bikini to their ex-husband.
