The Network Barre Teacher Training
March 13th-March 15th 2026
The Network Barre Teacher Training was built to raise the standard of barre education. Created and led by Chelsea Polletta, this four-month program offers immersive training, mentored teaching, and ongoing support to prepare instructors who stand out in today’s crowded fitness industry.
Raising the Standard of Barre Teacher Training
Barre is a low-impact, strength-based fitness method that blends elements of ballet, Pilates, and functional strength training. Classes focus on precise, controlled movements, small-range repetitions, isometric holds, and intentional alignment to build strength, stability, and endurance—especially in the legs, glutes, core, and postural muscles.
Why Become a Barre Teacher?
Becoming a barre teacher is about more than leading a workout...
It’s about guiding people through strength, confidence, and consistency. Barre teachers get to build real connections with students while offering a method that is effective, low-impact, and accessible to many bodies and abilities.
Teaching barre allows you to move your body, share knowledge, and grow within a supportive community, while developing leadership, communication, and coaching skills that translate far beyond the studio.

The Network Barre Teacher Training is an extension of how she teaches every day: with intention, professionalism, and care. It’s designed for people who want to teach well, not just get certified.
