Barefoot Training Specialist® Level 1
BECOMING BAREFOOT STRONG
The decision to become a Barefoot Training Specialist® is the first step towards joining our community of in-demand Health and Fitness Professionals from around the world who have a solid understanding of foot function and barefoot science.
ATHLETIC TRAINERS
EBFA's education programs are designed to present the latest research as it relates to restoring foot function, optimising foot to core sequencing and priming the nervous system for movement. With no establishing guidelines or set barefoot training protocols, this is the only workshop that will fully prepare athletic trainers to better integrate barefoot science and foot to core integration into their athlete's programming.
PERSONAL TRAINERS
EBFA's education programs are designed to present the most effective programming for personal trainer to easily and integrate into all client program design. Whether a client's goal is corrective exercise, performance or weight management, barefoot and foot to core sequencing can create faster and greater results.
MOVEMENT SPECIALISTS
With the foot as the foundation to human movement, many movement dysfunctions treated by movement specialists integrate the foot. By understanding and implementing barefoot science and from the ground up corrective exercise techniques, movement specialists will be able to confidently address how the foot ties into all movement dysfunctions.
GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTORS
Looking to increase the challenge or creativity in a group exercise setting? By integrating barefoot training and foot to core sequencing, group fitness instructors are able to stand out among the competition while keeping their classes fun, fresh and effective.

Jerry is an energetic and dedicated teacher. His mission in life is ‘To teach and inspire people to take changes that would improve their quality of life.’ Jerry’s greatest fulfilment in teaching came from experiencing how physical changes in his students’ bodies transformed other aspects of their lives.
Jerry studied with many world-renowned teachers. Pilates Master Teacher and Elder, Ron Fletcher’s (1921-2011) emphasis on excellence influenced him to constantly explore ways to develop his teaching skills. Jerry’s greatest strength is his ability to adapt and adjust teaching methods to different learning personalities or complex physical issues, to make learning simple yet effective. Jerry is actively involved in mentoring Pilates Teachers so that they can in turn bring more impactful change to more people.
In his last 20 years of teaching in the fitness industry, Jerry has frequently helped people with knee, back, shoulder and neck problems. He especially loved and taught many runners, golfers, tennis players, skiers, yogis and dancers to improve their sports performance using Pilates. Jerry’s most recent stint is teaching Pilates to the elite Cirque Du Soleil’s Kooza to prepare them for their high level performance. Coupled with his experience in teaching people with serious lower back pain in his ‘Get Back On Track’ program, Jerry strongly believes that Pilates is a critical foundation to any movement program.
