We Believe Your Workout Should Be Something You Look Forward To.
In 2010, founder Jen DeMarco left a career on Wall Street to open the first Local Barre in Hoboken. The idea was simple: create an effective workout in a place where women could get stronger, feel known, and actually want to come back. More than 15 years later—from cozy lounges and mom-friendly offerings to recovery services and a beautifully reimagined downtown space, Local Barre continues to evolve alongside the women it serves. Come for the workout. Stay for the connection.
Curious how Local Barre began? Cosmopolitan shares the story behind the brand and the journey that brought it to life.

You Should Never Feel Like Just Another Person In Class.
That's why our instructors aren't just instructors. They're Barretenders℠.
Each is trained in the Local Barre method—and in creating an experience that feels personal. They'll learn your name, help you find your challenge, and encourage you to keep showing up.
Because the best workout is the one you want to come back to.
All You Have To Do Is Show Up.
You don't need barre experience.
You don't need to know what you're doing.
We'll meet you where you are and take it from there.
