Now Is the Perfect Time to Open a barre3 Studio — Here’s Why
When times are uncertain, bold moves can feel risky. But if there’s anything we’ve learned in our 17 years as a company, it’s this: strength often emerges in the most unexpected moments. For barre3, that moment came in 2008.
As the country faced a challenging economic climate, our co-founders Sadie and Chris Lincoln were opening the doors to the very first barre3 studio in Portland’s Pearl District. It was a leap of faith — and it worked. That studio remains one of our most successful to this day.
At barre3, we believe in long-term thinking. We’re here to help you build a business that’s both financially sustainable and personally fulfilling. And we’re not just talking about one-time success. We’re talking about lasting impact.
“We opened our flagship studio at a time when many people thought launching a new business was too risky. What carried us through was community and a deep belief in the barre3 method. It turns out, people needed connection more than ever, and they still do. We love being a franchisor because we get to support new studio owners in bringing that same sense of connection to their own communities.”
— Sadie Lincoln, barre3 co-founder + CEO
17 Years Strong — And Growing
Today, our network spans over 200 studios across the country, with 17 new openings planned this year alone. That kind of momentum doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a proven business model, unwavering support from our home office team, and a mission that continues to resonate.
“At barre3, we equip our studio owners with operational playbooks, practical tools, and personalized support to help them navigate the many seasons of business ownership. For nearly two decades, we’ve supported our owners through changing economic landscapes—and our community continues to grow. Because what we’re building together isn’t a trend. It’s a lasting need.”
— Rachel Intile, barre3 Franchise Sales Manager

What makes barre3 stand out isn’t just our workouts. It’s the way we show up for each other. We create space for women to invest in themselves, and that commitment only deepens in uncertain times.

And you’re not doing it alone.
As a barre3 studio owner, you’ll be supported by a 50-person team of industry experts, business strategists, creatives, and coaches.
