What makes Barre 2.0 different?
Barre 2.0 was developed by Elizabeth Wilson, an ex-dancer and internationally recognised teacher trainer for Pilates & barre with over 25 years experience. She drew upon years of training in dance, Pilates, functional anatomy & biomechanics to create a workout that is the perfect blend of art and science.
Barre 2.0 provides an intense, flowing barre workout that will keep your students coming back for more.
Barre 2.0 lessons go beyond the experience of a standard barre class. There's a higher level of training for instructors and an increased focus on precision, technique and flow. The results speak for themselves.
Our teacher training program is designed to produce exceptional graduates who are genuinely ready to teach once certified, at an affordable price.
As a result, Barre 2.0 graduates are highly sought after by both barre studios and barre class participants.
If you're not already a Pilates, fitness or yoga instructor, our 2 Day Barre 2.0 Preparatory Course is for you. Attend this weekend before Barre 2.0 Teacher Training and we’ll bring you up to speed on the anatomy, biomechanics, safety & group teaching skills you need to prior to becoming a successful barre instructor. There are no prerequisites necessary to attend this course.
To attend our 3 Day Barre 2.0 Teacher Training you need to have completed the Barre 2.0 Preparatory Course or be a certified fitness professional (Pilates, dance, yoga or fitness instructor).
You’ll also need to participate in at least 10 barre classes prior to commencing training. You can attend these lessons with a barre instructor from any training background so long as they’re fully certified (they don’t have to be Barre 2.0 trained).
Workshops:
Students without prior fitness industry qualifications begin by attending our 2 Day Barre 2.0 Preparatory Course (see course prerequisites above).
All teacher training students then attend our 3 Day Barre 2.0 Teacher Training.
Barre 2.0 Teacher Training guides you through the Barre 2.0 class format & repertoire plus lesson design & programming. Exercises are demonstrated, discussed & practiced. We have a strong focus on helping you develop the practical skills you need to be a successful barre instructor. In addition, you'll learn exclusive Beyond the Barre repertoire designed to allow you to teach barre-style classes even in venues without barres.
Course Review & Exam Preparation:
After attending training, continue your journey towards certification with the support of our online teacher training portal. Review the course content, perfect your technique with on-demand classes, access barre class music, and refine your cueing and teaching techniques as you watch experienced instructors.
Final Exams:
Successful completion of your final exams leads to you becoming a Barre 2.0 Certified Barre Instructor AND a Barre 2.0 Certified Beyond the Barre Instructor.
Our 2 Day Barre 2.0 Preparatory Course (required for students without prior fitness qualifications) is $440 AUD and our 3 Day Barre 2.0 Teacher Training Course costs $660 AUD.
Your course fees are all-inclusive. They cover your training course, all required training manuals/textbooks, access to our online Teacher Training Portal and more. Even your final exam fees are included.
When comparing barre teacher training programs be sure to look for hidden costs when comparing course fees. For example, do you pay extra to sit your exams? Perhaps the course price you're quoted in USD instead of your local currency. A price that looks good initially may not be so appealing when you factor in these considerations.
Note that many certification programs also have ongoing costs associated with maintaining currency of your qualification after graduation. Barre 2.0 does not.
No licensing fees, no required monthly fees, no re-certification fees. The fee you pay at the time of registration covers your training course, all required training manuals/textbooks and access to our online Teacher Training Portal. Even your final exam fees are included.
If you need to re-sit your practical exam there will be a $100 fee charged to cover the cost of the time spent observing & marking your second exam.
Otherwise, you will incur no costs other than your course fees.

Successful completion of your final exams leads to you becoming a Barre 2.0 Certified Barre Instructor AND a Barre 2.0 Certified Beyond the Barre Instructor.
Beyond the Barre Instructors are trained to teach barre-style classes even in venues without barres. Beyond the Barre training is incorporated into your Barre 2.0 Teacher Training to give you maximum employability once you graduate (you can teach in any venue regardless of whether they have barres or not).
You have 12 months from your scheduled training date to take your final certification exams. If more than 12 months have passed, you may be required to participate in a Barre 2.0 specific review workshop at your expense.
Successful completion of your Barre 2.0 theory exam and a practical exam is required to become a certified Barre 2.0 instructor.
The theory exam covers material contained in your Barre 2.0 manual. It is a multiple choice exam that is completed in our online portal. Multiple attempts are permitted.
In the practical exam you’ll be assessed on your ability to teach Barre 2.0 to a group of real-life students. A time for your practical exam will be scheduled as part of your Barre 2.0 teacher training workshop.
Students completing the course online or who are unable to attend their scheduled practical exam, can submit a teaching video to meet their practical exam requirements.
If you receive less than an 80% mark on either the theory or practical exam, you’ll be required to retake that exam. A fee to cover the examiner’s marking time is charged if you need to re-sit the practical examination. The current re-sit fee is $100.
Barre 2.0 is committed to supporting you throughout your training and ever after. All trainees receive 12 months of FREE access to the Barre 2.0 Online Teacher Training Portal.
Videos contained in this portal include:
* all lectures taught in the Barre 2.0 Preparatory Course
* a complete video library of Barre 2.0 course repertoire
* videos of all Beyond the Barre variations taught in the course
* videos of all required pregnancy modifications for Barre 2.0 repertoire
* LIVE teaching demonstrations of sample classes taught in your course
* PLUS 3 additional sample classes utilizing the Barre 2.0 course repertoire
After you graduate you have the option of enrolling for Barre 2.0 Instructor Membership to receive a host of additional benefits, including video access to regular new 55-minute Barre 2.0 classes. Each class comes with a downloadable choreography outline and recommended playlist.
We also regularly run live and online continuing education workshops on various topics.
No. We trust that as fitness professionals you are either part of another organization that has continuing education requirements, that you personally believe in the importance of continuing education enough to participate in opportunities, or that you work for a facility that has their own continuing education requirements. Because of this, Barre 2.0 does not have our own set of requirements or fees for maintaining your certified status.
Anywhere! Your training will even prepare you to teach barre-style classes in venues without barres.
We do not place any restrictions on where you teach.
We'll provide a full refund so long as we are notified of your cancellation by email to [email protected] at least two weeks prior to course commencement.
For cancellations within 2 weeks of the scheduled course, there will be no refunds except where required by Australian consumer law.
You may however attend another training of lesser or equal value taking place in the next 12 months.
All our requirements are listed on our Host Site page. If you are interested in hosting or have additional questions about hosting please email us at [email protected]
This depends on your prior experience and time available to practice.
If you're not already a Pilates, fitness or yoga instructor, it will take a minimum of 2 months from the day you start your course to become certified. Experienced Pilates, fitness or yoga instructors will take a minimum of 1 month to achieve certification.
You have up to 12 months to achieve certification from the day you start your course.
