Where to get your Barre Certification| Barre Certification Review

I decided I wanted to become a certified barre instructor after I realized how obsessed I was with taking barre at my local gym. I grew up dancing, was an avid fitness goer, so I thought it would be a perfect side hustle for me. I asked the barre teacher at the gym where she got certified, where she suggests getting barre certified, and how long it takes. She went through American Barre Technique and highly recommended them.

I chose American Barre Technique because it was really convenient to complete the entire course from home and at my own pace. The American Barre Technique online barre certification was perfect for me and I felt overly prepared to start teaching. As soon as I passed the certification, I got hired at my gym to teach barre and started teaching within one week of getting barre certified. Since the day I started teaching barre to now my classes have been packed full and it is the best feeling in the world. I absolutely love teaching barre and highly recommend anyone who wants to teach barre to go through American Barre Technique.
