1. What is your favorite part of your job?

We bought barre3 Montgomery in April of this year in order to make meaningful
connections in our own community and to make a difference in the lives of those
around us. We truly care about everyone in our community and want as many
people as possible to experience barre3 and our beautiful space. So, hands
down, getting to interact with all of YOU and see you stronger, happier, and more
confident is our favorite.

2. If you could explain your business in the simplest way, how would you?

We are a group fitness studio with classes 7 days a week. We have 4 different
class types (Signature, Strength, Cardio and Flow) in both 45min and 60min
formats. Our exercises are full body workouts incorporating science backed
movements to help with overall strength, stability and whole-body wellness. The
three pillars of barre3 are Strength, Cardio, and Mindfulness.

3. What is your key to success?

Barre3 truly has a unique way of looking at fitness that focuses on the individual
needs of each client. We not only encourage modifications in each class, we
expect that you’ll listen to your body and do what is best for you. That makes our
workouts accessible to everyone no matter your age or athletic ability. Our clients
range from 13 to 70+ years of age! While this studio is locally owned, we are a
nationwide franchise with over 180 locations. So, we also have the benefit of
having a well-known brand and an amazing leadership team at home office who
are rooting for our success and providing guidance to help us be the best we can
be.

4.  What is one of your favorite client stories?
We have had so many ladies continue working out with us through their whole
pregnancies with many coming back postpartum raving about how they were
able to bounce back because of the strength they had gained through barre3.
We’ve also had several members tell us that their Physical Therapists
recommended barre and strength training (we have a strength training focus in each class) because of the science-backed movements that are so good for
stability and bone density. They were able to tell a difference in their strength and
range of movement after coming here!

5.  Do you have any hobbies or activities of interest? What are they?
We both have small children and spend a lot of time around the playgrounds in
Montgomery. We also love the Children’s Museum and the Cincy Zoo! We are
both foodies and love cooking when we have time or trying out new restaurants
around town. Also, we’ve been so lucky that our favorite hobby turned into our
full-time job!

6. What is one of your favorite quotes?

We have some Instructors at the studio with some fantastic mantras they share
during class. We are all about the positive and uplifting affirmations around here!
One of our favorites is “self-care is never selfish”.

7. What is your favorite hangout spot in Cincinnati?

We have really enjoyed hanging out at Montgomery Quarter since it opened. We
are so lucky to have a place like that in our city now. It’s the perfect area for date
nights, family dinners, coffee breaks, and we’ve really enjoyed hosting outdoor
classes at the park. We also live close to Aglamesis and enjoy walking there with
our families!

8. What is your favorite part about being a member of the Montgomery Chamber of
Commerce?
Networking with other business owners! There are so many amazing locally
owned businesses in Montgomery, we really had no idea until we launched into
our first Chamber of Commerce event. We are looking forward to partnering with
other businesses in the area who are in the fitness and wellness space and
finding ways to help each other grow and make an impact in our community.

9. What is your favorite Cincinnati Area Sports Team?

Denise’s favorite team is the Cincinnati Bengals! Laura doesn’t follow any sports
teams (yay sports!) but will have fun rooting for the Sycamore Aves now as her
youngest started at Montgomery Elementary School this month as a first grader.

10. What is your favorite place to eat in Montgomery?
We are both big fans of Forno! European Café and Livery are also favorites. Our
kiddos would tell you Walker Brother’s ice cream!
