Take your practice or teaching to the next level with our Barre Certification program
New York, NY – January 11, 2022 – Physique 57 is an international fitness and media company, founded by former Wall Street professional, Jennifer Vaughan Maanavi, and wellness expert, Tanya Becker. Their method embraces a more intimate, dynamic workout environment, incorporating rigorous interval training and creative choreography. Physique 57 was one of the first barre-based, boutique fitness studios to pop up in New York City in 2006. It was born from Jennifer and Tanya’s shared love of the original barre class, the Lotte Berk Method. With a deep understanding of how barre workouts can strengthen, sculpt, and tone with incredibly fast results, they designed their signature 57-minute workout. The Physique 57 approach helped jumpstart a global boutique fitness phenomenon.
Physique 57 is offering its Barre Certification program to take fitness instructors to the next level in their careers and for barre enthusiasts to deepen their practice.
By training with Physique 57, the fitness instructor will get certified in the most sought-after barre method and train under world-class fitness educators, as well as the opportunity to enrich their practice and be empowered personally.
“My training with Physique 57 prepared me for a decade of success in the fitness industry. I have gone on to certify in several other modalities and each time I have felt like I had a leg up on everyone else in my training cohort because of my transformative experience learning how to teach barre at Physique 57. They have distilled the art of leading group exercise into a replicable science.” – Summer Broyhill
