Barre Fusions Approved as a Continuing Education Provider for 2026

Barre Fusions has been approved as an Approved Continuing Education Provider through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).

My newest course, The Art of Fusing Formats, reflects years of refinement, real-world testing, and instructor feedback. It’s built on the Fusion Framework, an agile system for planning classes, layering choreography across formats, and monetizing content.

The 7 hour workshop introduces a repeatable planning process that helps instructors design balanced, total-body classes while creatively integrating multiple training modalities. The day includes a live Master Class, lecture, guided practice and collaborative planning to reinforce concepts in real time. Participants leave with a completed class plan, templates and organizational tools they can use to design future classes with ease and confidence.

What makes this offering different is what it does not require. Instructors are not asked to buy a license, teach under a specific brand name, or title their classes a certain way. There is no expectation to subscribe to my content or memorize routines by rote.

Instead, the framework provides structure without stripping away autonomy. It gives instructors a way to organize what they already know and categorize inspiration into a clear classification system, while preserving their individual voice and teaching style. As one seasoned instructor shared,

“The class was creative and inspiring. It showed me how to organize and save all of the hard work I put into choreographing classes.”

The framework also streamlines decision-making and reduces overwhelm. As Barre Fusions founder Erika Levy explains,

“Planning happens sporadically throughout the day or over the course of a week, and it’s easy to get lost in the process. It used to take me so many hours to plan a class that memorizing choreography felt like the only option. When I applied my background in agile development to class design, I created a framework that expedited the entire process. It works manually today, but it’s designed to scale into an app or platform that instructors and brands could use to monetize content.”

Approval through ACE, NASM, and AFAA reflects not only the educational quality of The Art of Fusing Formats, but the scalability of the Fusion Framework itself, a system designed to support instructors today and grow alongside the industry.
