Never Goodbye, but See You Soon!

Dearest labarre community,
 
Fall is here, another page turned towards a season of change.  Some say it’s a time to prepare for the future. Others say it’s a time to enjoy the harvest, share with others, and save for the next season. We say, why not both?
 
We are certain that you have seen the latest, amazing news as the studio has been transitioned into new ownership and is now owned and managed by my good friend and absolute rockstar, Julie Saccento!
 
We are so proud of everyone at labarre studios for the efforts we put forth in supporting our guests and each other along our fitness & life journeys and none of that will change.
 
After 8 years, I simply decided to transition from owner of labarre studios to passionate founder & observer!  Many of you already know Julie Saccento, who has been with us since the genesis of the business as a member in the underground days who graduated to studio instructor, leader and manager.  Julie will be taking over the reins and adding to labarre’s legacy, placing her indelible mark on a business she has helped foster and grow.  You can read more HERE as she wrote compelling and heartfelt blog which only galvanized why she is THE one to carry on this torch!

Like you, Julie is committed to the all-important mission of providing a peaceful balance for all guests. 
 
“Strength in the body, happiness in the mind, and confidence in the spirit to everyone who steps foot inside our community.”
 
There is NO question that Julie is the right person to lead this business into the next chapter and continue the success that has been paved by love, sweat, and some shakes and quakes too!
 
My husband, Rob, and I are excited to continue to consult with the studio through this year and beyond. Our mission is to make this a seamless transition for all.

During this time, we will be continuing with our succession plans while writing this new chapter and adding to a near decade of work.  We are so excited about this next adventure for the equipe and labarre studios. We approach this day as we approach EVERY day here at 1445 The Alameda.  It’s a chance to get better, to be innovative and to be a new version of ourselves. We are here to answer any questions you have as we make this exciting transition.

With gratitude, kindness & appreciation!
