Course Description

Ignite your strength, grace, and endurance with my dynamic Barre Body Challenge & Teacher Training Course—where ballet meets bootcamp! This 31-day Challenge program blends ballet-inspired movement with high-intensity sculpting techniques and Pilates to tone muscles, improve posture, and boost cardiovascular fitness. Perfect for fitness professionals, wellness coaches, and aspiring barre instructors, this course delivers a full-body transformation in super-quick time while equipping you with the skills to teach barre confidently and effectively. Expect powerful core conditioning, lower body sculpting, flexibility training, and rhythmic flow—all designed to challenge and energize. Whether you're looking to elevate your own fitness or become a certified barre instructor, this immersive experience builds strength, precision, and teaching mastery.

Barre workouts are extremely popular, with new studios popping up all over the place.  The reason is quite simply that they are extremely effective at toning the entire body from head to toe.  The workouts consist of ballet barre inspired exercises, Pilates, body resistance and yoga stretching to sculpt and tone the body.

This CPD accredited Barre teacher training course offers a 31 day Barre challenge so that you can fully appreciate the incredible results. This is followed by a teacher training programme for the aspiring Barre instructor.  By the end of the course you will have all the information and knowledge required to create Barre workouts and teach.  This is ideal continued training and education for the health and fitness professional and carries 20 CPD (CEU/CEC) points which can be used as evidence of further training. 

So get ready to take the Barre Belle 31 day challenge and see great results! The first part of the course breaks down the 4 challenge workouts into 4 sections: 

  • Upper body

  • Thighs

  • Glutes

  • Abdominals

Each of these mini workouts is accompanied by a technique training session to keep you safe and ensure your workout is efficient.  Once you have mastered each section, you get the opportunity to attempt the full workout before moving on to the next.  Once you have completed the training section, you are ready for the 31 Day Challenge.  The results will speak for themselves.

The final section is aimed at teachers who want to incorporate Barre exercises into their repertoire or add Barre classes to their timetable.  There are lots of practical assignments, together with resources to help you construct your own classes.  I offer a complimentary CPD Certificate as evidence which can be submitted to your organisation.  So if your dream is to teach Barre, this is the course for you!  Join today to experience the elegance of ballet fused with the intensity of bootcamp in a results-driven, empowering format.

Instructor Details

Josie McKenlay

With nearly 40 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every course I teach. I began my career as an aerobics instructor in London before training extensively in Pilates and yoga in the late 1990s. Since then, I’ve built a diverse portfolio of clients, delivering private classes across London and the Middle East, and contributing a lifestyle column to a Dubai‑based sports newspaper.

My passion is helping people improve their wellbeing through safe, evidence‑based movement practices. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise with training in aerial yoga, self‑myofascial release therapy, Barre, indoor cycling, and special populations, including seniors, pre- and post‑natal clients, and those managing chronic health conditions.

Teaching on Udemy allows me to share this knowledge globally in an accessible, affordable way. My courses are designed to empower fitness professionals with practical tools to adapt their skills for diverse populations — from senior fitness training and exercise adaptations for older adults to back care, postural assessment, and nutrition education.

si buena elección, lo único que mejoraría es la traducción en español, para que el aprendizaje sea aún más efectivo.

By Stacey Cohen on 3/25/2024

I appreciate this woman's expertise. It has many valuable exercises that I can take away, should I want to pursue teaching. I had also purchased the seated exercise for seniors which I hope to be able to combine into a mixed class routine.

By Ebony Bitner on 3/21/2024

Fantastic course! I was able to implement the techniques I learned from this course into the fusion style classes that I teach right away. My clients are really enjoying the new challenge and the results they are getting from the barre exercises/technique. I have purchased several more courses from Josie and am looking forward to continuing to learn from her.

By Leanne de Araujo on 1/22/2024

Very thorough course although the audio is a little low at times. Very reasonably priced as well. I think the low star reviews are unfair as it has to go at a slower pace for learning purposes and to cater for beginner levels. I temporarily went down to a 4 star however when I came to the teaching modules. I've continued to find so much value in what Josie is sharing and this is me speaking as a yoga teacher of 8 years now. Also I love the teacher's voice. Very soothing.

Started Barre-TT some months after Pilates TT from Josie (which I also highly recommend). Never heard of Barre before but fell in love with it right after :) The challenge and the teacher training are very professional and highly informative. If you are interested in Barre I can highly recommend you this course!

Easy to understand, very detailed, explained carefully what is the content of the course and what is expected from students.

By Erica on 9/26/2021

I have done the half program so far and Ms. Josie is a very knowledgable and experienced teacher. She breaks down each move and explains its functionality. Moreso, her cues during each workout are fantastic and every exercise is easy to follow along to. Out of the two weeks, I have done so far, I feel toned and stronger than ever before.

By Tanya Mathura on 6/21/2020

The instructor is amazing. Love how safety is important and included throughout as well as variations for different fitness levels. The design of assignments is incredible for application of learning. Great quality of overall course structure, content and delivery. You have converted me to loving barre.

By Bianca Levesque on 5/18/2020

That was a really fun and useful course. I found the final touch I needed and I wanted to incorporate into my daily workouts. It is the 3rd course I take with Josie, and I am always satisfied. Her videos are made in a professional way, she does not talk too much, she explains well, her voice and tone are very clear, and most importantly, I am learning the correct technique for beneficial training while having fun.

By Jennifer Buchanan on 5/11/2020

I was pretty much a complete beginner with barre when starting this course. I have seen SO much improvement in not only my physique, but also my strength, endurance, and mood as well. Josie is an excellent instructor who is highly knowledgeable. She creates a soothing atmosphere and accommodates all skill levels in her videos. Many interesting and helpful tips are provided. Loved this course and I will be utilizing the information learned for years to come. Thank you Josie!
