Front Desk + Play Lounge - barre3 Portland

Who we are

Barre3 is a fitness company with a revolutionary vision: to redefine what success in fitness means. Profiled for disrupting the industry in major media outlets such as How I Built This, Fast Company, Forbes, and Time, we have flipped the focus of fitness from attaining an imagined ideal driven by societal standards to being balanced in body and empowered from within—a radical shift that helps people create healthy relationships with their bodies and minds.

The foundation of our company—and the key to achieving our vision—is the barre3 class, a full-body balanced workout combining strength conditioning, cardio, and mindfulness. Taught in our 160+ studios across the U.S. and Canada and on our online platform, which has a streaming-subscriber base in 98+ countries, our class reaches hundreds of thousands of people. Launched just over 11 years ago, barre3 has already become one of the largest franchisors in the industry and has grown into a matrix organization with distinct and thriving units, including franchise, digital, retail, and retreat experience.
