Physique 57™’s Co-Founder and Director of Training, Tanya Becker, was extensively trained in this revolutionary exercise routine developed in London by the world-famous ballerina, Lotte Berk (1913-2003) and her orthopedist. As a former instructor at The Lotte Berk Method for almost a decade, Becker updated and fine-tuned the long-respected and effective technique.

Soon after Physique 57’s New York City opening in 2006, Becker recruited Shelly Knight to join the esteemed Physique 57 staff. With a strong background in Pilates and dance, Knight was the Associate Director of Training before heading west to become the Director of Training, West Coast for the Los Angeles studio.

Physique 57 has attracted thousands of women and men in New York City and abroad whose bodies have benefited from the intense strengthening and stretching exercises. Due to tremendous popular demand, Physique 57 now welcomes clients at two studios in New York City, one in Bridgehampton, NY and one in Los Angeles, CA.

Enhancements include:

• more strength and stamina building variations
