The Barre Code Brings Fitness & Empowerment to the North Hills of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA (December 12, 2015) – The Barre Code, a Chicago-based fitness franchise, is extending its mantra even further into the Steel City with a brand-new studio at 741 Providence Blvd in McCandless Crossing, a business and shopping complex on McKnight Road. Situated just 2 miles away from Ross Park Mall, The Barre Code brings the North Hills area a one-stop shop of cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and restoration. With this program, women can expect to be challenged beyond the physical workout through a powerful formula of empowerment and positivity that builds strength from the inside out.
Co-founders Ariana Chernin and Jillian Lorenz first introduced The Barre Code, a women’s-focused exercise regimen, to the River North neighborhood of Chicago in 2010. The fitness duo have since maintained their commitment to a woman’s belief in her body and her pursuit of potential – a policy adopted as the guiding principle of the brand: Live By The Barre Code. Determination to change the way women perceive their own strength led Chernin and Lorenz to develop a full-bodied program driven by empowerment, positivity and community.
“I never could have imagined the empowering community of strong, inspiring women we would build in Shadyside,” explains Meredith Ward, Owner of The Barre Code Pittsburgh, which opened in Shadyside in 2013, and The Barre Code North Hills. “The Barre Code is about believing in yourself and your body. I cannot wait to expand our community and show even more women what it means to Live By The Barre Code.”
The new location shares the airy and sleek style of its corporate counterparts. Upon entering the new street level space, clients are greeted by the brand’s uplifting mantra of self-acceptance in the lobby, which is equipped with lockers for convenience. After class, clients have the benefit of getting ready for their day at the fully stocked vanity area. Remaining details throughout the 1,800-square-foot-space are kept simple and clean, enveloping clients in an inviting atmosphere of inspiration and motivation.
With a spacious studio room that accommodate up to 26 clients per class, The Barre Code encourages women to discover what they are capable of, transforming clients into their strongest and fittest selves. Renowned for its innovative exercises that are anything but routine, the brand brings an ever-evolving class curriculum to the North Hills location. Trained alongside The Barre Code’s seasoned corporate team, the North Hills instructors welcome the brand-new space with rotating class formats and empowering motivational skills to ensure participants will never plank into a plateau.
Core classes cover all of the body’s needs, from the original “Barre Code,” a fifty-minute, total-body workout of isometric holds, heavy repetition, and deep stretching; to “Brawl,” a combination of kickboxing and strengthening moves that “SELF Magazine” has dubbed one of the best workouts in the nation. Empower yourself to reach beyond your physical, mental, and emotional limits on a three-dimensional ride of plyometrics, speedwork, and agility training during the coveted “HIIT” class or focus on full-range-of-motion strength training with our bootcamp-style routine, “TBC.” Find beauty in strength at The Barre Code North Hills or Pittsburgh seven days a week.
