Powering Change

Over a decade ago, Fred DeVito coined the phrase, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you“®.

 

Together with his life partner, Elisabeth Halfpapp, Fred founded CoreBarreFit (CBF) to help people move with strength, age with grace, and live fully. At CBF, you’re part of a supportive global community focused on long-term vitality.
