ABOUT PHYSIQUE57
Physique57 is the pioneering leader of an international ballet barre-based fitness class that has been consistently voted the best barre studio in New York City. They took their namesake from the original studio at 57th Street NYC. The program has since expanded with seven upscale studios around the world, in the Hamptons, Beverly Hills, Dubai, Bangkok, Mumbai, and it’s most recent addition, Riyadh. These life-changing body sculpting classes were designed by internationally talented dancer turned fitness professional Tanya Becker and her business partner, Jennifer Maanavi.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Physique57 promises to rapidly transform your body and result in up to 10 pounds of weight loss and incredible changes in your physical form and endurance in just two weeks. This body-sculpting workout blends the most effective elements of cardio, strength training, and stretch.ing. The Physique57 workout uses your own body weight as resistance and helps you complete a full body work.out by targeting muscles of your arms, thighs, glutes and abs. Each workout incorporates interval training to increase your stamina and endurance, isometric exercises to strengthen your muscles, and orthopedic stretches to lengthen and sculpt your body.
THE REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT
An effective process called Interval Overload includes muscle-defining intense exercise sequences. Each session, you will do multiple interval sets that will overload your muscle until they start to burn or shake and then perform a stretch to relieve them. (And wow, do they burn and shake!). This stretch causes your muscles to strengthen and tone instead of getting bulky. The whole process al.lows for faster muscle development and maximal toning.
PHYSIQUE57 IS FOR EVERYONE
Classes range from beginner to advanced levels to al.low everyone to progress at their own pace. Physique57 trainers will help motivate you to maximize your potential throughout the barre classes. All the Riyadh instructors were required to complete training programs in New York and receive certification before commencing classes. Classes are fueled by innovative choreography, and feature personalized coaching. Group classes also bring an amazing source of community and motivation to the workout, in the words of Tanya Becker “I’m not self-motivated when it comes to fitness, I don’t like pushing myself. I need a group.” Perhaps one of the most exciting examples of change from Physique57’s programs is of its co-founder Tanya. In 2010, Tanya gained 70lbs during a complicated pregnancy with her twins, but after four to five Physique57 classes per week, Tanya was able to lose all that baby weight in less than 6 months.
