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 will include three (3) weekends and five (5) optional Thursday evenings, spanning from March 6th, 2024 - April 3rd, 2025.

We’ve structured the program over 2 month with 3 weekend intensives. Three weekends beginning end of January and through February (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and practicum community classes throughout March and April (Thursdays). In addition, 7 classes with faculty are required as a part of the program. We provide space between sessions to allow for integration of the lessons and to explore and experience classes with a new lens. We believe learning and moving through the program over time provides an opportunity for content absorption and time for informed questions and concerns. This also allows the BTT group to connect, build rapport and feel a 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.
