The Barre Code is a barre-based fitness and workout studio and an up-and-coming fitness franchise opportunity. 

 

What sets The Barre Code apart from its competitors is that they take a different approach to barre fitness. At The Barre Code, the focus is on what you can gain rather than what you have to lose. 

“I Came to Gain!”

 

This message of empowerment and self-love is a welcome change from the negative language more typically employed by the fitness industry (“lose weight,” “slim down,” “shred fat,” etc.). 

 

There is a notable consumer shift from working out for weight loss to working out for health and wellness. Brands that reflect that and use positive, inclusive messaging will most certainly experience more popularity and growth in the years to come. 

 

At The Barre Code, the supportive environment of women lifting each other up, in addition to an effective and addicting workout program, has drawn thousands of women to the program and created a close-knit community of lifelong clients.
