Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
One year
What is your primary product or service?
Barre fitness classes
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was looking for a new workout, one that I could stick with. I found barre and became addicted after just one class, as so many people do. I got my personal training certification, and my barre teacher certification and moved back home to Rochester. Since then I have added a few more certifications and more are coming soon.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I teach open level barre as well as barre cardio. I am the only one in this area that I know of to teach barre cardio. I have multiple barre teacher certifications in various methods which allows me to create a versatile and highly effective workout that doesn't get old. I am constantly learning more to add to my classes and several times a year take a new barre certification course in a new method or take continuing barre education courses.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
1 for now. I would like to get a larger space in the same general area first, then start location 2.
