Fall 2023 Barre Teacher Training and Certification — In-Studio Edition
Our method focuses on a functional and integrated approach to the fusion of dance conditioning, Pilates, and yoga training. This is a movement practice for every body.
Whether you are looking to start a new career, supplement an existing one with a practical and dynamic skill set, or simply want to improve your practice by deepening your understanding of barre from the inside out, this program will give you the tools you need.
This 125 hour program will give students an immersive perspective on what makes a barre class dynamic, effective, and fun! We’ll examine everything from the anatomical foundation of the exercises in our repertoire to the anatomy of a playlist. You’ll be methodically prepared to lead group barre classes on a highly professional level at boutique fitness studios and beyond.

Scholarship Information
re:form offers two forms of financial aid for the barre teacher training program. One is a full scholarship, the other is a partial scholarship that offers 50% tuition relief. For each training, one recipient will be chosen for each type of financial aid.
Full Scholarship (100% of program costs will be covered by BECYCLE + re:form)
This representation scholarship is intended to remove the financial barrier to becoming a movement instructor for a member of the Berlin community whose voice we feel moved to amplify. On page one of our manual, the pillars of our method are listed. Among them is “inclusive and non-judgmental environment.” We believe that this cannot be fully realized without active intent to diversify our community from the inside out. In this context, we view diversity as the expression of a range of economic, ethnic, cultural, spiritual, and otherwise nuanced identities. Movement is an essential practice for everybody, and we believe that every body should find resonance in the voice of an instructor they can identify with. You should apply for this scholarship if you identify with a group you feel is under-represented in the fitness industry.
Partial Scholarship (50% of tuition cost will be covered by re:form)
This general scholarship is intended to lower the financial barrier to becoming a movement instructor for a member of the Berlin community who would otherwise not be able to undertake this training. We do not take lightly the financial commitment involved in beginning a career in movement instruction, and want to create better access to this deeply rewarding path. Part of the re:form ethos involves investing in enrichment of the fitness and movement industry. This scholarship is one way in which we aim to fulfill this vision. You should apply for this scholarship if you are looking for financial assistance, regardless of how you identify.
The application for this financial aid can be found here and must be submitted by September 1, 2023. The recipient will be notified by September 5, 2023

Payment: a non-refundable €400 (+ MwSt) deposit is due upon registration. Tuition remainder can be paid in one or two installments, and is due by September 15, 2023 (two weeks before the start of the AMA module). Payment is available by bank transfer only.
