One Club. Endless Possibilities. ⭐
Dear Neighborhood Barre Community,
Last year, when Neighborhood Barre was facing an uncertain future, we chose to step in and give it a home within The Block. We believed the community deserved the opportunity to continue enjoying the classes and instructors they loved, so we committed to a one-year partnership to see how the two models could work together.
Over the past year, we’ve learned a lot. While we are truly grateful for the experience and for everyone who showed up, supported, and trained with us, we’ve realized that the franchise model and The Block’s vision are simply not the same. Neighborhood Barre is built around a single fitness concept, while The Block was founded on offering incredible variety and the freedom to continue growing and evolving.
As our agreement comes to an end this September, we are excited to return our full focus to the original vision of The Block—a locally owned co-ed fitness club where you can find strength training, barre-inspired sculpt, pilates, hot pilates, yoga, hot yoga, recovery services, massage therapy, specialty programs, challenges, youth programs, and so much more, all under one roof.
We are deeply grateful for the role Neighborhood Barre has played in this chapter and for every person who has been part of it. We hope all that have joined us continue your fitness journey with The Block as we move forward, and we can’t wait to welcome you into everything we have to offer.
That being said, if anyone is interested in potentially opening your own Neighborhood Barre in Baton Rouge feel free to get with me with any & all questions. Their model/concept is woman focused & empowering and might be just the type of community you are looking for. "Neighborhood Barre is an exercise in control, offering three core barre classes that are dynamic, inventive, and built to help you take control back." (from NB website) You can reach me directly at [email protected] and I'll get you in touch with the right people!
