Where We’ve Opened barre3 Studios in 2025 (And What’s Next)
This year, 17 new barre3 studios are opening across the country. From the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast, these new spaces are welcoming clients in, building local connections, and bringing our efficient and effective approach to fitness to more people than ever before.
Whether it’s a longtime instructor stepping into studio ownership, a devoted client turning passion into purpose, or a first-time entrepreneur choosing to invest in something meaningful, each new studio story reminds us what barre3 is really about: real people, building real connection, in the places they call home. And while each studio is different, three common goals unite them all: a drive to build a thriving business, a deep desire to foster community, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact through movement.
Meet Our Newest Studios
Since the beginning of the year, we’ve celebrated studio openings in cities big and small — each one with its own energy, story, and incredible local community.
Chatham Park, North Carolina | Studio Owner: Stephanie Nielson
Our fifth studio in the Raleigh-Durham market, barre3 Chatham Park (pictured above) is owned by Stephanie Nielson — NYT best-selling author, mother of five, and an acute burn trauma survivor. A loyal client since 2018, Stephanie has always loved how barre3 supports both her body and spirit. Now, she’s bringing that same energy to Chatham Park, offering a space where everyone can thrive.

Now, they’re creating a welcoming space where clients can come as they are and leave every class recharged.

Cary, North Carolina | Owner: Studio Hannah Wallaker
As our fourth studio in the growing Raleigh-Durham market, barre3 Cary is led by studio owner Hannah Wallaker, whose journey with barre3 began while rehabbing an ankle injury. What started as a search for strength turned into a lifelong passion — especially during her pregnancy, when barre3 was the one movement that supported her through every stage. Now, she’s bringing that same strength and presence to her studio.

Spokane, Washington | Studio Owner: Katie Grainger
After six years of running Spokane Barre, Katie Grainger has officially converted her studio to become barre3’s second location in downtown Spokane. A longtime fan of the barre3 workout since discovering it online in 2014, Katie was drawn to the brand’s science-backed approach and core values. With a background in occupational therapy, she’s passionate about creating a space that’s welcoming, effective, and free of judgment — where clients can feel both grounded and connected.

Middleton, Wisconsin | Studio Owner: Amy Fickell
Opening in the beautiful suburb of Madison, barre3 Middleton is led by Amy Fickell — physical therapist, mom of six, and longtime barre3 client-turned-instructor. From her first class in Ohio to teaching in Wisconsin, Amy has experienced firsthand how barre3 supports the body and offers moments of peace amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood. Now, she’s bringing that same gift to her Middleton studio — welcoming clients to move, breathe, and belong.

Behind Every Studio Is a Story
In a time when more and more people are craving something deeper than a typical workout, our studios offer a space to pause, to move with intention, and to belong. A barre3 studio isn’t just a place to work out — it’s a hub of connection, healing, strength, and joy. When a new studio opens, it becomes part of a larger movement to redefine what success in fitness can look like.
And that’s why this growth matters. Every new studio opening isn’t just good news for us — it’s a gift to the communities we serve. It’s more kids watching their mothers prioritize self-care. More women finding strength in their bodies. More friendships made in the moments between the movements.
“I love celebrating the studio openings of our new owners — especially when I remember our first call about franchising with barre3 and all the passion they shared. Watching those dreams turn into real spaces where people gather, move, and grow together is the best part of my job. We’re so proud to welcome these newest studio owners to the barre3 studio owner network.”
— Rachel Intile, Franchise Sales Manager
Here’s to What’s Next
We’re beyond grateful for the energy, leadership, and vision our newest studio owners are bringing to their communities. Here’s to more movement and more communities led by purpose. We can’t wait to see what the rest of 2025 brings.
Maybe you’ve taken barre3 classes for years. Maybe you’re passionate about movement, or dream of being a leader in your community. If the idea of opening your own barre3 studio has ever crossed your mind — even as a quiet “what if” — we’re here to help you explore that possibility.
