Episode 13: Barre fitness, with Katy Richardson

Neighborhood Barre founder Katy Richardson joins Dr. John-Mark to talk boutique fitness and building a Knoxville-born studio brand.

Stay Healthy Knoxville Podcast October 9, 2019

Local health and exercise expert Katy Richardson sits down with Dr. John-Mark to discuss boutique fitness and why she started Neighborhood Barre. Katy founded the company in Knoxville and has since grown it into a network of studios across multiple states, plus an online streaming platform.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why Katy started her own Barre company instead of franchising from an established brand
  • How her own injuries started her on this health and fitness journey
  • What Barre-style fitness actually is
  • How Neighborhood Barre is different from other workouts
  • Her latest fitness project and how to try it from home

Neighborhood Barre has locations in Bearden, Farragut, Northshore Town Center, and Powell, plus an online option for anyone who wants to try it from home.
