barre3, a fitness franchise, acquires Studio Barre with locations in California, Montana, Rhode Island, and South Carolina, expanding its network to 10 owners and 11 studios.

Barre3 is off to a strong start this year, having just acquired San Diego-based barre brand Studio Barre.

Portland-based Barre3 (the ‘3’ representing strength, cardio, and mindfulness) is reflecting on its growth since its 2008 launch, celebrating more than 197 franchised boutique fitness studios that are locally owned and operated by female entrepreneurs.

Barre3 continues to expand, announcing an agreement that will see Buffalo, New York-based brand Barre Centric transition its studios into barre3 locations.
