WHY TRAIN WITH BARRE BODY?
Reformer Pilates was once the realm of rehab-focused clinical sessions (necessary but a touch boring – don’t tell!). Now in-demand everywhere from boutique studios to big name gyms, Reformer Pilates has become more dynamic, creative, and fitness-focused. Teachers need to be equipped to teach and manage different levels and needs within a group class. Barre Body is Australia’s industry leader when it comes to boutique fitness, and we know what it takes to deliver exceptional group classes. That’s why our Reformer course teaches you not just the repertoire, but how to teach it. We’ll show you how to confidently design flowing, fun Reformer classes that transition seamlessly (keeping those spring changes to a minimum) while offering a great workout no matter who’s in your class.
