“Being a studio owner is a chance to show up as a leader in your community—not only by building a welcoming space, but also by cultivating leadership in your team of instructors and staff. It’s an amazing opportunity to join a growing company that is interrupting the typical messages we hear in fitness.”
 - Lindsay McConnell, owner of barre3 Alexandria-Old Town

“I always dreamed of running my own business, but I never imagined it would be a fitness studio. Owning a barre3 studio has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s deepened my connection to my community and taught me so much about leadership and accountability. The relationships I’ve built within these walls have shaped me into who I am today. 

Owning this studio isn’t just about business; it’s about belonging, growth, and the joy of lifting others up. Being a bright spot in someone’s day fuels me.”
