BarreFlow Gets Seal of Approval For Continuing Education Credits from Major Fitness Associations
April 28, 2016
Company Receives Accredited Status from The American Council on Exercise (ACE), the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
(Albany, NY) – The creators of BarreFlow, a comprehensive fitness program that combines a Barre exercise workout with aspects of yoga and pilates, have received a high honor in the fitness industry as their new program has been accepted as continuing education credit for nationally recognized personal training certifications.
Both their full instructor certification and workshop have been deemed worthy of credits from the The American Council on Exercise (ACE), the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). BarreFlow strongly focuses on proper posture and alignment to achieve results. Barre itself is a workout routine that uses a ballet barre and some basic elements of dance set to upbeat music. The concept behind BarreFlow is the brainchild of Karli Taylor, a fitness industry expert. She and her business partner, Co-Owner Jodi Druzba, also a leader in the field, launched BarreFlow in early 2016 in Albany, NY. It is now headed to other regions including Buffalo, Northern New Jersey and North Carolina.
“This new status means that any fitness professional can take our classes and earn credits. Instructors are required to take a certain amount of continuing education classes each year and this will satisfy requirements for them. For us, this is a seal of approval by major associations providing a new level of legitimacy. Very few Barre programs in the United States have achieved this rank to date,” Taylor said.
Druzba, who has an extensive background in business, also believes this latest honor is fantastic for the company. “I began working with Karli in 2014 and during the process to become certified myself, realized this was probably the best exercise program I had ever learned to do. I decided to partner with Karli because I knew then that the program she had written was true to anyone wanting to better their health at all levels. Achieving this certification status gives us an independent professional stamp of approval that supports this and provides instructors an opportunity to receive their credit hours by participating in a program with solid substance," she said.
The associations were impressed by the strategy and working knowledge that went into creating the program. Taylor has always placed a great deal of emphasis on alignment and doing exercises in a way that achieve results while keeping the body feeling great with less strain and injury. The accredited status genuinely assists as they work their way toward becoming a nationally recognized brand.
