Get clear on your career

Find out where your training can lead you with the Barre Body Pathways Program.


A career in the pilates industry can be incredibly rewarding. Everyday, we speak to trainees and professionals about their goals and what makes them feel alive. A common thread is the opportunity to connect with like-minded people, to move each day, and create a space for others to do the same. 

But determining which course – or courses – will get you to where you want to be is often a little more complicated. Do you strive to be a studio owner? Or is the flexibility of contracting more your style? Do you have plans to travel overseas or would you prefer to work locally? Aligning your training with your individual goals is key. 

That’s why we’ve taken the guesswork out with our Barre Body Pathways Program – something special we specifically designed to help you get clear on your career.  

What is your personality type? 

  • Are you someone who likes to work with a group of people? Do you feed off the energy of others and enjoy creating a space for people to come together?
  • Do you enjoy presenting to camera? Letting your personality shine and offering classes to clients who may not otherwise be able to access them in a studio setting? 
  • Or do you prefer to work one-to-one, offering a more nurturing and intimate experience tailored to your client’s objectives?

When reflecting on the above, does one scenario stand out to you most? If you resonate with all three, that’s okay too. Our courses and pathways can be mixed and matched depending on your goals.

What are your interests?

Maybe you’re already working in the health and wellness industry and are looking to pad out your already impressive resume. Incorporating Mat Pilates and Barre into your existing skill set allows you to learn the form and function of every muscle and how they can support the body when activated correctly. Because of this, we speak to many osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, instructors and midwives who wish to add a holistic approach to therapy and/or recovery.
