At over 5,714 square feet, the studio will be located just steps away above the Dupont Circle metro station and in the heart of one of the most vibrant neighborhoods to live, work and play within the nation’s capital. The historical art deco building was designed by architect Mihran Mesrobian (whose work also includes Washington, D.C. landmarks such as The Hay-Adams, The Carlton Hotel and Wardman Tower). The studio will accommodate up to 53 participants, a lifestyle clothing boutique selling Barry’s original workout and athleisure apparel (including exclusive Washington, D.C. pieces); and signature Fuel Bar, serving Barry’s own recipes of healthy and energizing smoothies and snacks designed to help clients reach their goals.

Founded in Los Angeles in 1998, Barry’s was conceived to make getting into the best shape of your life possible and fun!

Additionally, the studio calendar is uniquely customized to focus on a different body part each day of the week, offering participants a complete, full body fitness regime. Barry’s promises that no class is ever the same so participants never plateau.

Barry’s classes are held in dim lit, red studios to motivating playlists. The room adds an element of excitement to the workout while enabling participants to dig deeper and lose themselves in the physical moment. Barry’s instructors coach and motivate the group to run and work harder than they ever thought possible. Working side by side as a community creates strong bonds between participants who inspire, support, and hold each other accountable inside and outside of the studio.
