Barre3 Named to the Franchise Times Top 400 for the Third Consecutive Year
For the third year in a row, barre3 has been named to the Franchise Times Top 400—landing at No. 383 and continuing a steady, intentional climb from No. 396 in 2025 and No. 432 in 2024.
While Franchise Times measures the largest franchise systems in the U.S., for us, this ranking reflects something deeper: the strength of our studio owners and the lasting impact they create in their communities every single day.
“Owning a barre3 studio is quite literally a dream come true. I have ‘pinch me’ moments every single day. barre3 offered a proven framework and a network of experienced owners that allowed me to focus on what I do best.” — Abby Smayda, owner of barre3 Redondo Beach
Growth With Purpose
What started as a single studio in Portland’s Pearl District in 2008 has grown into the largest 100% woman-owned omnichannel fitness brand, with over 200 studios open and in development worldwide. This year alone, 9 new studios have opened their doors, with more on the horizon.
Our philosophy has never shifted: when you invest in the well-being of a community, lasting success follows.
Every barre3 studio brings strength, cardio, and mindfulness together under one roof for a complete practice. Developed by leading female experts in physical therapy, exercise science, and psychology, our classes are designed to lower stress, improve mental clarity, and help you feel grounded in your body. Behind every location is a local entrepreneur—a woman dedicated to helping her clients feel more connected, confident, and calm in their daily lives.
“I wasn’t just chasing a business; I was embracing an opportunity to create a place of healing. I want every client to walk in, immediately exhale, and feel that ‘homebase’ sensation.” — Angie Grant, owner of barre3 Tulsa
Partnership at Every Stage
We build systems that work so our owners can focus on what matters most: their community. From day one, studio owners work side by side with our Support Center team of over 50 business strategists, creatives, and coaches.
That partnership begins with dedicated pre-opening development support, guiding you through site selection, real estate, and build-out. It continues through a comprehensive 130-hour operator training program to ensure you lead with confidence, followed by ongoing 1:1 business coaching with experts who are with you from grand opening and beyond.
“That’s why you join a franchise. There is a tool for everything, and there is a person for everything. The Support Center provides the framework, and we provide the hustle and execution.” – — Stephanie Grimes, co-owner, barre3 Philadelphia – Rittenhouse Square
The Future of Fitness Is Guided
what success in fitness looks like—building functional strength from the inside out and supporting visionary leaders who lead through connection.
