Instructor Resources
Tools to help you launch and boost your own Barre Business with mentorship, online tutorials, research and access to our Facebook community.
Instructor Training
Our methodology is the most advanced in the industry, both in the UK and globally and our Instructors are amongst the most highly trained on the circuit.
​
The Barre Collective Instructor Training Programme (endorsed and accredited by independent quality assurance body PD: Approval) is the most thorough course available for entry-level barre teacher teaching and is based on techniques that have been tried, tested and used every day for over 10 years.
​
So far, we are proud to have certified hundreds of talented barre Instructors across the world, many of whom you will find listed in our directory.

Technology Support
We didn't train as fitness instructors to tackle complex technology, live streaming, file sharing, Google Analytics or become a sound technician.
Let us share some of the pain and help de-mystify the process of getting yourself a slick tech set-up without wasting money or losing sleep.
Our series of technology tutorials covers the basics or set up a 1-2-1 tech consult with Helen.
Instructor Tutorials​
​
Our Instructor Tutorials are designed to help you explore the ins and outs of specific positions, especially those of a more ambiguous nature where there isn't necessarily a 'right' or 'wrong' answer.
​
We bring our experience - and often some healthy debate into the picture to offer you food for thought to finesse your delivery. Being a fitness Instructor can be a lonely profession at times, so consider us your colleagues, borrow ideas from us, share your feedback and together we will deepen our understanding and further the progress of our industry.
​
Instructor Support
We don’t just train people to teach. We coach them, support them and take an active interest in how they evolve as a Barre Instructor.
And we know that real learning begins AFTER you qualify. Now and then, it’s natural to hit a ‘rut’ or find that you haven’t been practising as much as you’d like to keep your game strong.
We continue to offer advanced learning, mentorship, peer support, research resources, directory listings, technology webinars, technique tutorials and industry events to keep your knowledge up-to-date and share resources to the overall benefit of the barre industry.

Expert Knowledge
Over the years, we've had the pleasure of working with a number of experts in their field. From Business Mentors to Rehab Specialists, Mindset Coaches, Accountants, Medical Experts, SEO Consultants and Digital Branding Gurus.
We've asked each of them to share their best advice or '101' in an easily digestible format that's worth its weight in gold.
​
​
​
Business Directory
​
You can spend hours scouring the internet for links to reliable information about everything from insurance to tax returns, music licenses, to Covid compliance.
We've brought our recommended links into one easy-to-find directory that you can access any time you need it.
​
And if you can't find what you're looking for, let us know and we'll add it in!

​
Equipment
Trust us, we've tried it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. We know what works, what doesn't, what's value for money, where to find it - and importantly, what stands the test of time.
​
Some of our equipment still looks brand new after 11 years and we know how to avoid the pitfalls of fads and trends that all too often end up in the back of the cupboard.
