50-hr Barre Teacher Training
Certification Course
Our mission is to change the face of the fitness, health and wellness community to include, prioritize, and normalize all people regardless of age, gender, identity, race or body type for representation. We believe in building a strong community of educated leaders that are not only knowledgeable but will lift our industry standard beyond the current status quo. We want to contribute by creating a foundation and safer space for Instructors to continue their education so they can better support the communities they are passionate about.
As a leader in barre fitness, our focus is showing how inclusivity can be achieved while maintaining integrity, knowledge and experience. As we watch the fitness industry’s response to closing the inequality gap, we aim to inspire by setting the example.
The curriculum includes four (4) intensive weekends and select Monday or Friday evening sessions, with practicums running from August 10th to 28th, 2026.
The program is structured over two months, anchored by four weekend intensives beginning in late July, each running Friday through Sunday. Throughout August, teacher trainees will lead practicum community classes on select Mondays and Fridays. In addition, 8 classes with faculty are required as a part of the program.
We have intentionally created space between sessions to support integration, allowing trainees time to absorb the material and engage with classes through a new lens. This pacing encourages deeper understanding, thoughtful questions, and meaningful reflection. It also fosters connection within the group, creating opportunities to build rapport and cultivate a strong sense of community and support beyond the faculty.
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
It’s no secret physical activity can help boost the production of our brain's feel-good neurotransmitters called endorphins. Rooting our offerings from the joy movement can bring is what we believe helps connect our community to those leading the experience. We move and choose to move others because it feels good, and the health benefits are the perks! We aim to provide our BTT group with a strong foundation and education that can help build confidence in the ability to lead.
By providing a comprehensive understanding of anatomy and the body, nurturing the skills to build and structure a balanced class, and understanding how teaching fundamental can support different movement backgrounds, levels and abilities in a group fitness setting, we can open the opportunity to operate and serve a community from the joy that comes from moving.
