WHO WE ARE:
Barre3 is a fitness company with a revolutionary vision: to redefine what success in fitness means.

The foundation of our company—and the key to achieving our vision—is the barre3 class, a full-body balanced workout combining strength conditioning, cardio, and mindfulness. Taught in our 160+ studios across the U.S. and Canada and on our online platform, which has a streaming-subscriber base in 98+ countries, our class reaches hundreds of thousands of people.
