STUDENT
from our students
Meli Privopoulos
Physiotherapist,
Barre Instructor Training Graduate
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was very well planned and organised with a great balance between theory and practical. It was a wonderful that it catered for different levels and backgrounds, with a lovely mix of students in the course. Alicia was very inspiring and knowledgeable! Each exercise was broken down into muscle groups and benefits which was very helpful. It also provided a framework for you to create many classes yourself in the future. You definitely leave the course ready to take barre classes straight away! I would recommend this course to other health professionals and those wanting a career in the fitness industry.

Barre Instructor Training Graduate
Signing up to this course, I didn't really have much of an idea about what I would be in for. I was pleasantly surprised when the course curriculum took us back to the basics of ballet and what has now become "barre". Having Alicia as our trainer was a special treat, not only because she was the one who had designed the course and written the course content, but being a barre instructor at Aleenta herself, she had a wealth of knowledge of all aspects of what it means to be a barre instructor. I would recommend this course to anyone with a background in Pilates, ballet or yoga, or even like me, who is a PT and is looking to add a bit of an edge to there training and skills.

As a fitness enthusiast, this course was intense, challenging yet SO REWARDING! Alicia guided us through classic Barre techniques and we had loads of discussion on anatomy, human body mechanisms, ballet & barre history, class design, and non-stop practical sessions to build up barre teaching skills. I met a group of fitness professionals from all walks of life (Pilates teachers, dancers, nurse, yogis, physiotherapist and a beauty therapist!). Everyone was so encouraging, we all shared and learnt from one another, the ambience was awesome and the whole learning experience was just fun. Try it for yourself, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
