I started to feel the benefit from Lotte Berk exercises right after attending my very first class with Iris. The next day I somehow felt ‘lighter and taller’. I suppose that was the start of postural benefit which is obtained by the exercises. My flexibility and strength have also improved dramatically, and my muscles are now much more toned and somewhat elongated.

My body shape has changed and pretty much every body part is now firmer, slimmer and more defined. My clothes started to feel much looser after only a few classes.

I absolutely love going to Iris’ classes and always feel revitalised and energised afterwards.  Apart from enjoying the exercise and feeling benefit from it, another part of the reason that I keep going back is Iris herself – she is the best exercise teacher I have ever encountered, and works with every one of the class members individually when necessary, taking into account any aches or pains they may have. Iris also ensures that we are always in the correct position to get the maximum benefit out of all our exercises, and trust me you can really feel the muscles working well when you are in exactly the right position!

I would highly recommend the classes to anyone looking to tone up, become fitter, stronger and more supple, and enjoy themselves in a very safe and supportive environment.

I think the most noticeable benefit must be strength and fitness in my legs as they no longer shake during leg exercises.

I have been doing the Lotte Berk method for 7 months. It is the only exercise programme that I have found not to leave me exhausted. I feel exhilarated and my stamina, posture and flexibility have increased 100%.

It works the muscles in my body that I had forgotten were there. The classes are small in numbers, so you feel you are getting a very personal workout.

Keep on going Iris!

I first went to Iris’ Lotte Berk class in November 06 for my trial lesson. Iris was very welcoming and took a thorough history and discussed what I hoped to achieve from the classes.

I started in earnest at the beginning of the year and attend, on average 2/3 classes per week. The exercises are tough but certainly bring results – my core muscles are definitely much stronger, my posture and stamina have improved and I have lost inches.

Iris is always very attentive checking your positions to ensure you do the exercises correctly and the hour, although hard work, always flies by. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Iris and the Lotte Berk exercise regime.

Lotte Berk classes are highly addictive and will help anyone get a stronger, healthier body. Iris is a teacher with great integrity and will make sure that you get the most out of your class.

After many years of trying different exercise classes, I have now found the perfect one in Lotte Berk. I have been enjoying the class for a year now.

Along with toning and firming all those hard to reach muscles, my posture has greatly improved and I leave each class with the feeling I could run a marathon!

Since taking up the Lotte Berk method I have noticed that I have less back pain and I am more flexible than before.

Also, I’ve toned up around my stomach area and can tighten my belt a notch without dieting. I can honestly say that the Lotte Berk method is better than any gym workout or other toning and strengthening exercises that I’ve done in the past.

The exercise routine, that Iris has taken us through at her Lotte Berk Studio, have made huge improvements to my posture.

I have also found that my arms, legs, and bottom have really firmed up and my waist has returned.

I began going to Iris' classes in May 2008 and the only thing I can add to what everyone else has said (with which I totally concur) is that I realised one night I'd got out of the bath USING MY ARMS to push myself up!  (This had been a problem for a few years!)  It was so easy that I didn't even realise I'd done it until I'd stepped out of the bath!  The legs and back also co-operated and I was jubilant.  I'm 63 and feel great after having been to a class with the delightful Iris.

Lotte Berk is a truly wonderful system to tone the body but also strengthens muscles and increases over-all body stamina. In the 5 months I have been attending Iris's classes - which quickly went from agony to enjoyment - I have become more upright, which is something I never thought I would achieve following spinal surgery 4 years ago. I have also taken up my yoga again which the physiotherapists said I would probably never be able to do! I can now also vacuum my entire house in one go whereas 3 months ago I was doing a couple of rooms a day.

To my delight I’ve just had the waistband on two skirts and a pair of trousers taken in .  I’m convinced my new streamlined shape is entirely attributable to the Lotte Berk exercises you put us through ...  I certainly haven’t been dieting!.  It’s great to have found an exercise regime that really works.
