Welcome to On Barre High! I’m Peggy Levi and I’m so glad you’re visiting this website and considering a fitness journey into BARRE. I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself. Nearly twenty years ago, I earned an M.S. in Molecular Biology from New York University. I went on to do research at Columbia University, but what I truly enjoyed most of all was teaching, both at Baruch College and for several years in the NYC public school system. After leaving the professional world for 10+ years to be a full-time Mom, I am back to teaching something I truly love and believe in: BARRE.

 

I am a certified BARRE instructor in the authentic Lotte Berk-based training. I chose to teach this technique because of the amazing benefits I saw and felt in my own body and mood! If you are new to BARRE or even to fitness, I want to assure you that taking a class with me will feel like a natural first step. Don’t take my word for it though! Below you will find some of the feedback I’ve received from clients who have taken my classes. I believe in methodical movement; therefore, when I teach a class, I like to explain what muscles we are moving and what benefit we’ll receive, just as much as I like to explain what we’re feeling during an exercise and why we’re feeling it. I believe that understanding why we move our muscles a certain way helps us make the body-mind connection that triggers those muscles in a unique and effective way. There is no doubt that my Biology background comes through in my classes - a perk for my students and a blessing for me, as I get to combine my two passions!

 

If you are ready for that new fitness chapter in your life, or if you wish to transform your body and mind, then I hope you will let go of any hesitation and join me! It would be my honor to be your trusted BARRE teacher.
