You don’t need a fitness background to become a barre instructor.
You just need the desire to begin.
So many people feel the pull to teach barre… but stop themselves before they even start.
“Who am I to lead a class?”
“I’ve never taught anything before.”
“I’m not even sure I’d be good at it.”
If that sounds like your inner monologue, you’re not alone. And I’m here to tell you the truth:
You do not need to be a fitness professional to become a certified barre instructor.
You don’t need a dance background.
You don’t need to be flexible, super strong, or in the “best shape.”
What you do need is the courage to start and the right training that walks with you, every single step of the way.
I Had Never Taught a Fitness Class Before – And Never Thought I Would
Before I ever led a barre class, I hadn’t taught group fitness. I wasn’t leading movement. I definitely wasn’t standing in front of a room with a mic. In fact… I didn’t even think I’d ever teach in person.
I was scared. The thought of being at the front of a class, guiding people through movement, felt way too big. My plan was to teach online — behind the screen, in my own space, with no eyes on me.
But I felt this pull — this quiet nudge that maybe, just maybe, I was meant for something more.
So I said yes before I felt ready.
And little by little — cue by cue, class by class — I grew into someone who leads with presence and power.
You don’t need a background in fitness. You don’t need to be fearless.
You just need the desire to begin.
Because the truth is, what makes a powerful instructor isn’t perfection — it’s heart, honesty, and the willingness to grow.
