Fitness studio chain Barry’s will open a permanent studio at 408 W. Second St. in downtown Austin on May 14.
The new studio location replaces the temporary site on North Lamar Boulevard, which opened a year ago.
“Following the overwhelming popularity of our Austin pop-up, we are thrilled to open a permanent studio, and continue to welcome new and old clients into the Red Room. Barry’s is big on community, and the new downtown location felt like a natural next step to grow our Fit Fam, welcoming a safe and inclusive space for all,” Barry’s Global CEO Joey Gonzalez said.
The 6,700-square-foot studio space includes treadmills and floor spots for up to 56 clients at a time. It also includes a separate Flex Lounge with 17 spots for Barry’s Lift class, a strength-based class that incorporates dumbbells, resistance bands and bodyweight exercises. All this happens in what Barry’s studio calls its Red Room, a dimly lit room with a red glow that allows participants to focus on the cues from instructors.
