We are committed to creating opportunities for fitness instructors to excel and thrive. Historically, Barre, Yoga, and Pilates studios have lacked diversity and representation. Alongside racial and cultural inequities, ageism has also limited opportunities in the industry. As the industry shifts away from cultural appropriation for monetary gain, BCTO’s mission is to foster inclusivity, strengthen representation, and empower leaders of all ages to create meaningful change in their communities.
