BARRE3 ACCELERATES GROWTH WITH STRATEGIC STUDIO BARRE ACQUISITION
In our ongoing commitment to growth and building stronger communities, we’re excited to announce that barre3 has acquired Studio Barre — a San Diego-based barre fitness brand.
“We are incredibly honored to welcome Studio Barre into our barre3 network,” says Sadie Lincoln, barre3’s CEO and co-founder. “I am impressed with the owners of these studios. These women are driven by purpose and passion and really eager to grow their respective business’ with the support of barre3. This combination of purpose and drive is powerful and I can’t wait to see the positive changes we collectively make as we enter this new era of growth together.”
Founded in 2008 by Shannon Higgins, Studio Barre opened locations across California, Montana, Rhode Island, and South Carolina, offering clients a fun and energizing workout. Now, as part of this transition, we’re thrilled to welcome 10 new owners into the barre3 community. These talented, driven women bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to our thriving owner network.
For these new owners, barre3 represents an evolution in the way they approach fitness — one that is rooted in science and sustainability. “I love how barre3 focuses on the body as a whole and incorporates intentional movements for strength and empowerment,” says Amanda Green, owner of Studio Barre Encinitas.
Keely Baker, owner of Studio Barre Great Falls, echoes this enthusiasm for the transition: “What I love most [about the barre3 class] is how it’s grounded in science, making each exercise purposeful and effective. It’s truly such an amazing workout for all fitness levels. My clients are going to love this new approach — especially the b3 Strength class — and the way their bodies are left feeling energized, stronger, and ready to take on the rest of their day.”
With this transition, Studio Barre owners are embracing barre3’s holistic approach to movement and well-being. “Barre3 is redefining what success in fitness truly means by paying attention to the purpose of movement and exercise,” says Kaylie Wall, owner of Studio Barre Carlsbad. “I’m beyond thrilled to offer my clients the opportunity to experience the magic of barre3 — not just through the workouts, but by learning how to sustain their bodies and fitness goals with a long-term approach.”
Over the next seven months, Studio Barre’s 11 studios will rebrand as barre3. The acquisition follows barre3’s recent expansion with The Barre Code and Barre Centric, further solidifying barre3’s position as the largest omnichannel boutique fitness brand independently owned and operated by women.
Shannon Higgins, Studio Barre’s Founder, reflects on the transition: “Above all else, Studio Barre has always been about community — welcoming, supportive, and inclusive. Today, that community has found its new home with barre3. I am beyond thrilled to see how our shared values — passion for our clients, dedication to their experience, and commitment to their fitness growth — will continue to thrive. Barre3 brings the same warmth, energy, and sense of belonging that we cherished at Studio Barre. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for what’s to come.”
Together, we’re transforming lives and business through a mindful approach to fitness. Rooted in community and driven by purpose, it’s an exciting new chapter not only in barre3’s growth, but in our shared fitness journey. We’re so grateful to have you along for the ride.
