If you asked any ballerina how she achieves her long slender physique, lean, and fit, there's no doubt you will probably hear something along the lines of " lots of blood, sweat and tears.”
Heavy cardio is definitely a must, but achieving a body like that of Misty Copland, Principle Ballerina at the New York City Ballet, is becoming more attainable today. Many gyms, as well as fitness enthusiasts have caught on to this trend, and have been honing in on a mix between ballet repetition, cardio and weights, to customize classes focused around the over all result of long lean muscles.
Specifically in London, Equinox, an American based luxury gym located in High Street Kensington offers their version of this type of fitness classes called " Ballet Barre." Known in the industry for creating advertising campaigns designed to shock and provoke Terry Richardson, Rankin, Steven Klein and Ellen von Unwerth have been enlisted by Equinox to create imagery that challenges social norms and uses a slogan “ Commit to something”. The Gym’s antics command an audience which is truly willing to suffer.
