Barre Belle

If you're looking for a new way to sweat, try out one of Barre Belle's classes with any of their talented staff - they are sweat obsessed! Backed by experts since they opened in 2016, every class is designed to get you results, presenting you with a different challenge so that you truly can expect change. The secret to this fitness studio's success is the combination of their loyal client community, who come ready to work and the Barre Belle staff, who come ready to educate and motivate.

COVID-19 hit Barre Belle extremely hard, as they temporarily closed all nine of their Canada locations on March 16th. Coming off a high growth year in 2019 where they opened four new studios across Canada, having to lay off their entire staff was one of the hardest decisions they've ever had to make. The team is currently working with their nine landlords and three banks to come up with a plan to move forward that works for all parties. Two weeks prior to closure, Barre Belle was fortunate enough to launch their at-home videos, an on-demand program so that current Belles and brand-new Belles can sweat together online anytime. Barre Belle says their online program is here to stay and they're excited to see how their community can grow.

You can support Barre Belle by subscribing to The Belle Bod on Instagram and signing up for their at-home on-demand program, receiving a whole month of classes for the same price as one drop in. Whether online or at the studio, find a class that you love to sweat to!
