Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Interview Ellen Barrett, Exercise DVD Superstar Who Encourages Women To Sweat Glamorously
Please click PLAY to listen to this interview from the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Radio Show. We learn all about exercise dvds created just for the women from Ellen Barrett who is dedicated to helping women get in shape and to Sweat
Glamorously.
Ellen Barrett’s passion as a fitness instructor is to create “Modern fitness for modern women.” And after having created best-selling fitness videos for Self magazine, Crunch and others, Barrett is finally releasing her own brand of fitness for women.
The first DVD in the series is The Studio by Ellen Barrett: FAT BURNING FUSION. It’s available now at www.ellenbarrett.com. The 40-minute workout is Barrett’s zen-ful signature blend of standing Pilates, flowing calisthenics and even a little ballet. It’s designed to feel good, burn fat and sculpt in a way that flatters the female physique.
FAT BURNING FUSION evolved from sold-out classes at Barrett’s New Haven facility, The Studio by Ellen Barrett. In fact, the video was filmed there with Barrett’s clients. As they clearly show, it’s one workout that is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. No equipment is needed, not even footwear. The workout begins with conscious breathing, tension-melting stretches and evolves into a rhythmic, mindful, fat-melting blitz that will leave one more exhilarated than exhausted. As Ellen likes to say, you will Sweat glamorously.”
Ellen has trained a bunch of celebrities like Christina Ricci and Justine Bateman when she was tearing up the fitness scene in Los Angeles’ trendy CRUNCH fitness on Sunset Blvd. . You can check out Ellen other videos at her website as well including Zodiaction, for the astrology buffs like both Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy who are both Aries.

I had no idea Ellen had such an impressive resume, but having fallen in love with her workouts on All Star Workouts, I can believe it! They’re incredibly well-designed and highly effective workouts, even though at first look they don’t seem like they will make you work that hard. I too was into aerobics back in the 80’s but in recent years have gotten out of shape. But shortly after getting back into a regular exercise routine, I developed plantar fasciitis (owww!) and had to lay off the high impact stuff. Ellen’s TV workouts not only were doable for me while my foot healed (with proper orthopedic support of course), they’ve proved both challenging and enjoyable. Plus I really like her way of communicating during the workout - motivating and personable, but not overbearing (I’m also a Gemini BTW).
I also am very impressed the pilates, ballet, yoga and other similar elements in her workouts, and how Ellen puts them together so they feel very natural, flowing and complimentary to a woman’s body. I find a lot of pilates and yoga workouts too static for my energy level and short attention span, but the benefits of these kinds of exercises were quickly noticeable after doing Ellen’s workout for three weeks straight. Not only are my upper and lower muscles showing more and more definition and that stubborn tummy fat slowly dropping off, my back hasn’t felt this good in years!
Now that my foot’s doing better, I ordered some of Ellen’s DVDs and am eagerly awaiting their delivery (I’m going to get her zodiac-themed book soon too!). I expect I’ll enjoy the DVD workouts just as much. I’m glad I found this interview - it made me appreciate what Ellen does that much more. I wholeheartedly recommend her workouts!
