THE X STRENGTH METHOD BY BRITTA DEGENKOLBE

In a world where social media blurs the lines between Pilates, functional training, and strength work, it has become increasingly unclear what quality training actually is.

What is still Pilates? What is functional? And what is simply intensity without structure?

THE X STRENGTH METHOD was created to bring clarity back.

It combines the best of traditional, principle-based training with elements drawn from ballet and classical Pilates techniques — where precision, control, alignment, and awareness are essential. At the same time, it embraces what has made Pilates and barre evolve and grow:
our desire to be challenged, to feel intensity, and to enjoy the process.

At its core, THE X STRENGTH METHOD is designed to create safety and confidence — both for participants and for teachers. For new trainers especially, the method provides a clear framework that offers guidance and structure, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: stepping into teaching with confidence, presence, and clarity.

Within this framework, there is space to grow.
Space for creativity, expression, and individual teaching styles — supported, not restricted, by structure.

Music plays a key role in holding this space.
It sets the rhythm, supports transitions, and creates a natural flow within each class, helping both teachers and participants feel grounded, guided, and free at the same time.

The result is a method that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
A framework that builds confidence first — and allows challenge, intensity, and flow to unfold naturally.
