“We’ve loved being a part of the neighborhood in East Cobb, and moving inside the perimeter to Buckhead will allow us to enjoy another great neighborhood and reach commuters coming into the city for work,” White told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in a telephone conversation Monday.

Though she co-owns the East Cobb location with Ashley Watt, White will be the sole franchisee owner at the new location. Her background before joining The Bar Method team was in speech therapy, and it was the science behind barre that led her to change paths.

“There is a therapy aspect to it, and we have physical therapists on staff at The Bar Method. It’s the science behind the exercise that drew me to it and yields the results.”

The Bar Method was founded in 2001 in California and now has locations in 23 states, Washington, DC, and Canada, according to its website.

An estimated $185,000 will be spent on renovations for the 3,628-square-foot Buckhead space, which White hopes to open sometime in January 2016.
