Barre Groove is a boutique fitness studio that was founded in 2017 in downtown Boston. Despite being awarded “Best Barre Studio” by Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston 2019, BG offers far more than a traditional “ballet barre” studio. In addition to barre, BG offers hybrid bounce and dance classes all designed to help their guests burn fat, sculpt muscles, and create long lean physiques with low-impact exercise.
The driving force behind BG’s success is the talented staff that are able to create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for everyone who enters the studio. Each instructor is skilled (and confident) enough to teach effective technique, while also having the creativity and versatility to provide new choreography and fun, motivating music for every class format.
Barre Groove is seeking versatile, confident individuals that are self-motivated and have a passion for fitness. A passion for Barre Groove and prior knowledge of the brand are highly encouraged but is not a requirement. A background in fitness, dance, or cheerleading is preferred but is also not required. Musicality and the ability to confidently lead a room of 6-30 people are a must! If you are a good fit for the BG Squad, you will also be friendly, reliable, have a strong work ethic, be highly skilled at multitasking, have excellent communication skills, be passionate about fitness, and be genuine in your desire to help others.
