Denise Griffin Crowe

Denise Griffin Crowe has been involved with movement for her entire life, from her first dance recitals to her current career as a fitness teacher and teacher trainer.

​

Denise was a Senior Teacher of the world famous Lotte Berk Method in New York City and Bridgehampton for more than seven years. She was trained by Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp, co-Founders of CoreBarreFit and legends and pioneers in the Barre industry, who are still her mentors to date.

After the closing of The Lotte Berk Method in NYC, Denise used all of her experience to start her own studio, Ealanta Exercise, with co-founder Shawn McCormack. Ealanta Exercise was a very successful studio on Manhattan's Upper East Side but with the birth of their first child, Denise and her husband Rusty's priorities shifted. The decision to close Ealanta and move closer to family in Boston was made.

​

In December of 2006, Denise accepted the position of Mind Body Manager at Exhale. She quickly built Exhale's classes and reputation with consistency and quality and established Exhale as a leader in Barre classes in Boston.  She trained some of the best Barre teachers in the company and in Boston. During Denise's time at Exhale, their classes were named Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and the Improper Bostonian. Fitness website Rate Your Burn named 5 of Exhale's teachers as the  "Best in Boston" - Denise was one of those teachers and the four other teachers were trained by her. 

When Exhale formed a team of Subject Matter Experts to work on the accreditation of their Barre class, Denise was an obvious candidate. She was also asked to join Exhale's National Barre Teacher Training team and was the only trainer to run the entire 40-hour teacher training unassisted.

Denise received a B.F.A. in Modern Dance with a minor in Ballet from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She is also certified in CPR.

​

A teacher's teacher, her classes are fun, challenging and full of variety, drawing on her wide range of knowledge, training and experience.  Her attention to detail and ability to adjust your positioning will help you achieve maximum results. She has a true passion for this workout that she has seen change people from the inside out.
