The Method

Born of the original Lotte Berk technique, our Method Class is designed to sculpt and strengthen the body, defining the muscles and energizing the whole person.

This one hour, intense workout is a unique combination of strengthening and stretching movements. It creates strong, toned, and lifted muscles while helping to increase flexibility and prevent injury. While isolating each major muscle group and holding every position, we dig deeper into the muscle and develop strength and stamina; a discipline that trains both our mind and body to work together.

By maximizing our core strength, we create a foundation upon which our balance and posture reside. While targeting our glutes, thighs, arms and abs, the Method's unique integration of stretching and strengthening built into its routine slims and elongates our muscles, giving us that long, lean look. It shapes our bodies, enhances tone and definition, and dramatically increases flexibility. The Method is unparralled in its ability to sculpt, strengthen, and transform our body.

Testimonials:

"I started taking the method after having my second child and trying forever to lose weight. I always loved cardio, but could not find a strengthening class I enjoyed. The method felt like an amazing total body workout. It worked all the right places and I felt strong and toned after every workout. It has changed my body and even toned all those hard to reach places. I am hooked and the results are amazing." -Tali Faber

"I started taking The Method classes a couple of months ago and have already seen a difference in my body. Not only is it extremely effective for toning muscles, but classes give off such great energy and put me in such a great mood that it is truly my favorite way to start the weekend!" -Tanya Rubin

"In the 2+ years I have been doing The Method, I have enjoyed improved strength and flexibility and I feel less prone to injury with my tennis game. I would encourage anyone to give this class a try." -Mary Lisa

"The Method Class is the most wonderful form of fitness I have ever experienced. My main goal in exercising has always been to maintain good health. Not only have I achieved that goal with the Method, but I have never felt better in my life!" -Paula Taptick

"I am in my fifties and still fit into the jeans I wore in my 20's. People constantly ask me what I do to stay in shape. I joined INTENSITY just over three years ago when I heard that they were offering classes in "the method". I love the flexibility of choosing between early AM classes (7:30 is my favorite) or 5:30 in the evening. I can go to as many classes during the week as I choose and still only pay my low monthly fee which means I am at class much more frequently. Not only are all of the teachers terrific but the environment is a very welcoming and friendly one, everyone knows your name". -Sue

"I can honestly say that the Method has totally changed my body shape, toned but not bulky, plus my posture has improved not to mention so much more flexible, its always challenging, I will never give it up". -Susie Morgan

"I love the method classes! After a couple of months I could see my body changing, getting leaner while getting stronger. I also love that I am always challenged because the instructors motivate me to push myself beyond my comfort level" -Catalina

"The method has changed my body completely. Without the method I would be a total pear shape. The Method has developed my upper body while significantly reducing my thighs and completely eliminating my "saddlebags". As much as I dislike "the ball" it has changed my thighs!!" -Judy Michaelis
