FAQs

What is the difference between BarreConcept and other barre workouts?

BarreConcept is the only barre course in the world to gain international accreditation. We now have accreditation in the UK (Register of Exercise Professionals), America (American Council on Exercise and Pilates Method Alliance), Canada (Canfitpro) and Australia (Fitness Australia and Australian Pilates Method Alliance).

Our instructors are not only trained in the BarreConcept method but also on how to be a great teacher and role model for their clients. Each barre course will vary slightly in content and all will have a similar yet different approach, so there is a course to suit everybody. Our philosophy is that it takes a minimum of twp days to learn all of the comprehensive exercises and then choreograph each of the elements together in a flowing non-stop routine that is fun, challenging and enjoyable.

It is difficult to be a great teacher on a course that is less than two days as exercise knowledge and repertoire will be somewhat limited. Our ethos is to support our students and teachers and to create a warm, welcoming community environment which people want to be part of.

Not only do you receive a lesson plan that is already devised for you, so that you can get up and running immediately upon certification, but you are taught how to choreograph your own routine, so that your classes are always changing and therefore interesting as well as challenging for your clients. The ongoing educational support that our instructor members receive is via the online workouts. This assists our teachers in planning classes and takes the work out of choreographing routines.

What Do Others Think?

"The videos are brilliantly demonstrated and I've gained so much knowledge”

"Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed the Pilates Mat course. The videos are brilliantly demonstrated and I've gained so much knowledge about teaching from you. I'm a sports massage therapist so teaching is not a skill I've needed to develop and I've been a bit apprehensive about it, but your style of teaching has been a huge encouragement. "

Ms G Wyeth

“Thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos”

"I am currently working through your Mat Pilates course and I just wanted to say thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos. I did a Pilates course a long time ago but never did my exam, but incorporate elements of Pilates exercises in other fitness classes I teach. The course has been a great refresher and also introduction to new exercises and explanations of why the exercises are done. "

Ms C Patterson

"This is an excellent, very comprehensive course."

"I am thoroughly delighted with Emma and the course. It’s a very good way to learn barre. Emma clearly knows her stuff. I like the design of the website and the structure of the learning tool. This is an excellent, very comprehensive course. I have recommended this course to a couple of my instructor friends. I believe this has to be the best online course I’ve seen. "

Ms D Ferguson

"Emma has given me a new lease of life teaching Pilates"

"Emma has helped me recently in so many ways. I have completed her detailed on line courses and feel competent to teach the techniques and exercises straight away after the brilliant videos and instructions. Having had a few issues myself over my teaching and my own business, and loosing some confidence, I contacted Emma who spent time out of her crazy schedule emailing me giving me support and advice which helped so much. Emma has given me a new lease of life teaching Pilates and made me believe in myself again. Thank you so much. "

"When I have a doubt she promptly answer to my question"

"Emma Newham is someone who truly enjoys and has a passion for sharing her Pilates knowledge. She has professionality, enthusiasm and care for your well being and also for your preparation as teacher. She is my BarreConcept teacher and she is so friendly and helpful even if long distance take us apart as I'm from Rome, Italy. When I have a doubt she promptly answer to my question. She is my best teacher."
