Studio Barre Somerville
is owned by
local sisters Jennifer Hill and Courtney
Goerge, and their mom, Robyn Goerge.
Courtney was a professional dancer and
her background led her to discover barre
fitness a few years ago. She then intro-
duced barre to her mom and sister and
they were hooked immediately. According
to Jen, “The workout is so fun and the
results are so great that we all got addict-
ed. We decided we wanted to open our
own studio because it’s about more than
just the workout. Women come together
and form this community to support,
inspire and challenge each other.”
Jen continued that, “The opportunity
to work with my mom and sister is a
dream come true. We have always been
very close and taking on this venture
together has brought us even closer. The
three of us have a great time no matter
where we are or what we’re doing! We
laugh A LOT! We’re also there for each
other to support one another through
whatever challenges life throws at us.
We want to take our sense of family and
expand it to create a
Studio Barre
Somerville
family. A place where we can
empower each other, support each
other, and laugh together. Whatever else
is going on in your life,
Studio Barre
is
your happy place.”
Studio Barre Somerville
officially
opened its doors on June 13th. The three
owners are thrilled to be in downtown
Somerville. They said, “We wanted to
open our studio in downtown Somerville
because of the energy here! The down-
town area is in the middle of a revital-
ization and it’s so exciting to see all the
growth and change taking place. The
area is rich with history and charm and
now they’re adding amazing shopping,
restaurants and so many fun events
throughout the year. We have found that
all the local business owners are really
welcoming and want to partner to make
Somerville great. There’s a sense of com-
munity here. People are really proud of
this town and we are proud to be a part
of that.”
