Returning to her native Hungary from America, Fruzsina Szemző-Lóránt has developed a new type of workout to be showcased over a series of special sessions in Budapest. Amazon Body will be presented beneath a full moon on Friday, 23 July on a floating house on the Danube, for an event entitled Night of the Amazons. More specialised presentations will follow. So what is Amazon Body?

Hungarian-born, American-raised Fruzsina Szemző-Lóránt returned to Budapest six years ago to pioneer the introduction of Barre workouts that had taken off so successfully in the States.

Our studio was the first of its kind here and gained lots of attention,” says Fruzsina, who lives in the suburbs of Budapest with her husband and young family. “This led to many other local fitness studios following our business model. During the years of running the studio I underwent a deep personal transformation, which led to the creation of my own movement method that I call Amazon Body.”

Fruzsina explains that her own situation pushed her to develop this new concept: “I created the Amazon Body movement method out of my own need to connect to myself on a deeper level. Amazon Body and the Amazon Living lifestyle it represents is all about empowerment and activating the latent potential inside all of us, moving through energetic blocks in the body that I call ‘energy centre repatterning’”.

Having already led workshops and retreats, Fruzsina is now stepping up to stage a series of events in which she will present Amazon Body at a special location, coupled with food and music. All is carried out in English and Hungarian.

The Night of the Amazons takes place during full moon on Friday, 23 July on the Stopper floating house on the Danube. Over the course of two hours, accompanied by the healing voice of Judit Schrenk and her sound bath, Fruzsina will demonstrate all aspects of her own Amazon Body technique, using the arc of the class to facilitate deep stress release by the very end.

Food themed around the event will then be provided by Adrienn Dencsi. “I want to give people the whole full-on experience,” concludes Fruzsina, who has other locations lined up on a monthly basis.
