Side Barre was created by husband-and-wife team Phil and Brianna Batchelor, brought together by a shared love of movement, community, wellbeing, and specialty coffee.
Before Side Barre, we spent years travelling the world through performance, movement, hospitality and coffee, collecting experiences that shaped the way we see community and wellbeing. Along the way, we discovered a shared belief that movement should feel joyful, coffee is best enjoyed slowly, and the strongest communities are built through genuine connection. Through career changes, new beginnings and plenty of unexpected twists, we kept coming back to the same dream: creating a space where people could move because it feels good, connect without pressure, and make time for the simple rituals that bring a little more balance to everyday life.
To us, Side Barre is more than a fitness studio. It’s a community hub built around strength, softness and connection. It’s a place where you can move your body, share a great coffee, and feel like you belong.
