The History: Where It All Began
The Weston Road gym location was the first-ever Body Barre Studio, making it the heart and soul of the brand. Founded by Tina Di Leo, this location represents the start of a fitness revolution, creating a space where women of all backgrounds, fitness levels, and ages can come together to build strength, flexibility, and confidence.
Tina, a Balanced Body Pilates Instructor, Master Barre Instructor, and Fitness & Nutrition Coach, has spent over 20 years in the industry. Her passion for movement and holistic wellness led her to develop The Body Barre Method™, a 200-hour teacher training program, which is now recognized as one of the top programs for barre instructors.
As Tina puts it: "With over 20 years of experience in fitness, nutrition, and holistic health, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering women through personalized fitness solutions."
At Weston, this mission comes to life. The community at this location is welcoming, energetic, and committed to helping every woman feel her absolute best.

“I am a new member and I have been loving it here. They provide a variety of classes and have reformers. I've tried mat pilates, barre, reformer pilates and the body flow classes so far. They also have a mixture of treadmill and strength training classes which I have yet to try. Previously, I have joined boot camp style gyms/classes and orange theory and Body Barre is a one of a kind studio due to the variety of classes, all catered to women fitness. The studio is clean and the instructors are all so wonderful and welcoming!!”
