Testimonials
We wanted to make sure you're hearing directly from the people who know this journey best, our franchisees. When asked what they would share with someone considering studio ownership, here’s what they had to say:
“I had a six-month-old baby and every reason not to do it. But life is short and I didn’t want to wait for the ‘perfect’ time that might never come.” - nb Owner, former marketing & events director, mom of 3
“It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.” - nb Owner, VP in the veterinary industry
“I always knew this place was special. Owning it gave me a chance to bring that feeling to more women.” - nb Owner, longtime instructor and real estate professional
At Neighborhood Barre, owning a studio isn’t just about building a business, it’s about creating something meaningful. For your community. For your family. For you.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about ownership for a while. Maybe you're waiting for the perfect time. But here's the truth: one owner opened her studio while raising three young boys. Another walked away from a toxic corporate job. One turned her favorite workout into her future.
Each NEIGHBORHOOD barre franchisee took a different path, but they all share the same outcome. Our owners wake up each day knowing they’ve created something meaningful. A space where women feel seen, supported, and stronger than ever.
