barre3 in the Park Summer Recap 2015
This summer, many of our studios have been putting the concept of barre3 Anywhere into action by hosting mega classes in the park. Today we’re sharing a few of our favorite photos, as well as a first-hand account from the studio owners. Read on, and you’ll quickly understand why this is our most popular event of the year.
For me, the park classes symbolize that we’re all about taking care of people beyond our studio walls. Coming together and building relationships is just as healthy as working out, and boy did we work out! 950 members from our incredible community came together to celebrate barre3’s 7th anniversary. —Sadie Lincoln, barre3 Founder

This park class was the celebration of our studio’s first year. I had to fight back tears looking out to our amazing Tulsa community from the stage. Seeing all of us moving together as one was a sight I won’t soon forget. —Brenda Oakes, barre3 Tulsa owner
We had such a wonderful mix of regular clients and people who were there to try their first class. The energy was just infectious! —Robin Little, barre3 Mobile owner
The best part was seeing people come together to capitalize on the energy of the city, the park, and then one another. Plus the random person working out in suit and tie or official power skirt was both rad and inspiring. —Cait Branca, barre3 West Village studio manager
Our park class was epic! We had nearly 175 people, and it was so much fun to connect with clients from outside the studio. It’s truly invigorating to take class outside and introduce barre3 to people who have never experienced it before.
—Andrea Mason, barre3 OKC owner
For me, the best part was welcoming about 50 new clients to experience barre3 for the first time in the park. We were throwing love off the stage like confetti and the good vibes were contagious. When the sun broke out during closing breaths, I admit I got a little choked up. It’s pretty amazing to see so many people choosing health and happiness in one place. —Amy Grabenkort, barre3 Felida owner
It’s been two months since our event and I still get chills reflecting back on the power of the morning. We had an amazing turnout of nearly 200 new and familiar barre3 faces. The energy was electrifying and the barre3 community is anxiously awaiting our next event. So am I! —Melissa Stolze, barre3 St. Louis – Des Peres owner
It was so surreal to see that many people together in one place sharing barre3 together. A flood of emotions washed over me, from grateful to humbled to just pure joy. I’m in love with our barre3 tribe and coming together for this event was pretty incredible. —Karie Johnson, barre3 Scottsdale owner
*Note:Studio owners Jessica Neely and Robin Jones teamed up to create one class for the Eugene and Corvallis communities. Here’s their recap:
We had our combined park class on the last day of the barre3 Anywhere Challenge, so it was really special to celebrate that achievement and reflect on our individual barre3 journeys. Being able to do all that with Sadie and her family made it all the more memorable. I was so happy that she drove from Portland to Corvallis to come. We are truly one big family and nothing is more special than sharing an event like this one! —Robin Jones, barre3 Corvallis owner
Holding a large, outdoor class at Tyee Vineyard for the Eugene and Corvallis studios was a dream come true in so many ways. The camaraderie between the staff and our clients is magical. It was amazing to hear clients share their barre3 Challenge stories with each other and with Sadie—barre3’ers seem to all be cut from the same beautiful cloth. —Jessica Neely, barre3 Eugene owner
As I looked out on the crowd (we had over 130 people), I was so moved. Being a part of this amazing community in our town has been such a privilege. I loved seeing both familiar and new faces in the crowd. —Caitlin Walker, barre3 Bellingham owner
Mother Nature was pretty fickle that day, which led to some technical difficulties and last-minute scrambling. But my amazing team stayed focused, I stayed calm and centered, and my husband got the audio working with two minutes to spare. We truly embraced the mantras, ‘find the ease within the effort’ and ‘make it your own.’ As a result, the day turned out perfectly. —Tammy Hischke, barre3 Frisco owner
The energy of taking a barre3 class outside is simply infectious. Bottle up the feeling of community, the physical challenge, and the opportunity to take barre3 outdoors on a bright summer morning, and it’s a pretty powerful combination. I look forward to it every year!—Carrie Caldroney, barre3 Vancouver-Camas owner
The fun isn’t over yet—there are still park classes going strong through October. Check out our list here to find out if barre3 in the Park will be happening near you!
