Buy a Neighborhood Barre Franchise

Neighborhood Barre is a boutique fitness franchise built around an inclusive, results-driven barre workout that blends strength, cardio and flexibility for all levels. Founded in 2011 in Knoxville, Tennessee by Katy Richardson, the brand was designed to remove the intimidation from boutique fitness and make barre approachable for beginners and experienced clients alike. It began franchising in 2015.

Studios run a lean format of roughly 2,000 square feet and draw on several revenue streams: recurring memberships, drop-in classes, private sessions and branded retail. An optional on-site childcare model broadens appeal to clients with families. The network is concentrated in the southeastern U.S. and expanding more widely, trading on community atmosphere and a proprietary method rooted in the classic Lotte Berk barre tradition.

In 2024, Neighborhood Barre was acquired by Extraordinary Brands, a multi-concept fitness platform whose portfolio also includes Purvelo Cycle, Row House and Eat the Frog Fitness. Founder Katy Richardson retained an ownership stake and continues to lead the brand, pairing her hands-on corporate team with the resources of a larger franchising group.

Why buy a Neighborhood Barre Franchise?

Barre sits in a boutique fitness category that has proven resilient and continues to attract clients who want visible results in a welcoming, low-pressure setting. To buy a Neighborhood Barre franchise is to step into a recurring-membership model with a clear niche: an inclusive, non-intimidating studio experience designed to keep members progressing rather than plateauing.

The lean studio footprint keeps occupancy costs lower than many boutique concepts, and multiple revenue streams (memberships, drop-ins, retail and private sessions) reduce reliance on any single source. Since the 2024 acquisition by Extraordinary Brands, owners gain the operational depth of a multi-brand fitness platform while keeping the founder-led, small-team support culture the brand is known for, with corporate help spanning operations, marketing and sales.

Neighborhood Barre – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners complete a structured program of 30 hours of classroom training and 28 hours of on-the-job training, backed by a corporate team organized around operations, marketing and sales. Ongoing support includes evolving class programming, marketing templates and SEO, newsletters, field guidance, and access to proprietary operating software and a franchisee intranet. Because Neighborhood Barre keeps a deliberately small, hands-on corporate team, resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and software access the franchisor provides when an existing studio changes ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Neighborhood Barre suits hands-on, community-minded operators who want to build local relationships rather than run an absentee investment. No fitness background is required, and owners are not expected to teach, but comfort managing instructors, driving membership sales and handling local marketing matters more than barre expertise. The model rewards people focused on member retention, studio culture and steady day-to-day operations who want a lifestyle-friendly business with a clear wellness mission. Strong people skills and consistent local execution are the real drivers of a successful studio.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Neighborhood Barre has been featured in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 and is regularly cited among notable boutique barre concepts, while founder Katy Richardson has drawn local recognition including Nashville-area "40 Under 40" and "Best Of" listings. Its 2024 acquisition by Extraordinary Brands, alongside Purvelo Cycle, Row House and Eat the Frog Fitness, adds portfolio-level credibility and resources. For resale buyers, the specific studio's standing in its market matters most, so weigh local reviews, member loyalty and community visibility alongside national mentions.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. boutique fitness market was valued at roughly $5.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at about a 12.8% annual rate through 2032 (Metastat Insight), outpacing the broader gym sector. Demand is driven by consumers favoring specialized, community-oriented studios over big-box gyms, and barre in particular draws a loyal, predominantly female clientele seeking low-impact, results-focused workouts. Recurring memberships give the category resilience across economic cycles, though local demand, studio density and instructor quality shape how each territory performs.
