But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what two of our current studio managers have to say about working for Barre & Soul.
“I can honestly say I love my job and I feel like not many people can say that. I left corporate America to teach full time and it was the best decision I ever made! Every day is different and that is something that I love. I love teaching and the community that we have here. I love that I am empowered to take ownership of the business. I can't even begin to explain how amazing it is to have a job where you’re actively making people’s lives better and they’re happy to see you!”
- Paige Lawrence, studio manager of Barre & Soul Providence
“Barre & Soul creates an atmosphere of understanding, encouragement, and highlights growth opportunities. Other jobs, especially in the fitness industry, seem to hire you then leave you be. When I joined the company, I was hired as a fitness instructor, I've since had the amazing opportunity to join our teacher training team, lead barre and yoga training programs, continue to teach classes while moving into the Movement Lead role and now run the Portsmouth, NH, studio as their studio manager.
Barre & Soul also understands that we have lives, we go on vacations, we have kids, and because of that we may need time off. I feel so supported and appreciate not just the warmth from upper management, but also from the other studio managers and staff as well.”
- Jenna Brynn Armstrong, studio manager of Barre & Soul Portsmouth
