"Fred and Lis are not only two of the nicest people on the planet
but also some of the most creative. I admire their commitment to
health and fitness and it is something everyone should strive for.
Their classes have kept me in great shape for many years. This is
an amazing read for any barre lover! I could not be happier for
their success." - Tara Lipinski, Olympic gold medalist in figure
skating
"I gladly recommend Core Fusion to my patients, family, and
friends, as it embraces all the important aspects of cardiovascular
fitness: muscle conditioning, aerobics, weight bearing to improve
bone density, balance exercises, and stretching to enhance
flexibility. Personally, when I finish a workout, I feel energetic
yet calm, and I have no doubt that it has improved my posture. I
also love that it is safe for all ages as there is no jarring of
the joints." - Erica Jones, M.D., Director of HeartHealth,
Cardiovascular Prevention Program of the Dalio Institute of
Cardiovascular imaging at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill
Cornell Medical Center"I believe that knowledge is power and
patient education is a crucial part of my protocols and treatment
plans. Core Fusion founders Fred and Lis have gifted us with a book
on the fundamentals of their method. I recommend that anyone who
participates in Core Fusion or barre class in general, veteran or
newbie, educate and familiarize him or herself with the technique
to achieve healthy, safe, noticeable results. This book is a
must-read!"- Christine Zic, M.S.P.T., physical therapist"I'e been
doing Fred and Elisabeth's exercises for thirty years. No excuses
-- you just need your body and a wall (you don't even need a barre)
-- so you can do them anywhere. The variations keep you from
getting bored and keep your body guessing, so you don't get
injured." - Vicki B. Goldhill, M.D.
"Thank you so much Fred DeVito, Elisabeth Halfpapp and Exhale Spa
for Barre Fitness. Love the empowering core thesis of your
philosophy that 'if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change
you'--barre none, the smartest words to live by." - Mariska
Hargitay, star of Law Order
